I've lived in this neighborhood for years but only recently noticed there was this cheese shop with sandwiches. I walked my dogs over today. There was nowhere to tie them up, but the man working told me I could wait outside and he'd make me a sandwich. I got a caprese sandwich and took it back home where I am eating it right. this. second. It's very great, and I'm happy. read more

Thank you Yelp for helping me find this amazing shop! I have been a cheese eater my whole life. Dedicated. Insatiable. Connoisseur. I'd eat it with every meal. In the last couple of months I made the difficult choice of eliminating dairy from my diet for ethical reasons. I didn't really know how I was going to do this long term because my love affair with cheese runs long and deep. Then I found Vromage on yelp. With all the glowing reviews, I had to check it out for myself. The shop is small and clean and Youssef greeted me immediately upon entry. He then proceeded to provide me with a sample for about 5 cheese: a gouda, ricotta, mozarella and a couple of others I can't remember their names but I bought one of them! This was cheese! I don't care that this is technically "vegan cheese" not made with milk...it tasted like real cheese! I know what cheese tasted like and this is the real deal in the flavor department. Thank you for what you do Youssef. Without you I would never be able to enjoy mac & cheese, or cheese & crackers or cheese sliced up and served with a meal. You are fabulous and you make an exceptional product, you care about your customers, you care about your craft and you are all kinds of amazing. Thank you! You have a customer for life! read more

The best vegan cheese created by master chef. You must try his sandwiches. Out of this world!!

These sandwiches are expensive, and a little on the small side, don't get me wrong. As I was being rung up I had this tiny second of regret. But the two I ordered were absolutely, positively worth it. The second it hit my mouth I knew it was one of, if not, the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. I had a cheddar one, and my boyfriend had one made with mozzarella. I tried a little of his and they were both incredibly fantastic, beyond what I expected entirely. I preferred the cheddar more but the other wasn't in any way lacking. Next time I'm in the area you can bet for sure I'm coming back. If you get the chance I'd highly recommend going. Parking can be a little sparse, but the little mall area next door has a free 90 minute parking garage if you grab something from rite aid on your way out. read more

Vegan cheese you can buy at the store, is just aight. After having Vromage cheese, I consider myself spoiled. Now any cheese, is just subpar. The BEST cheese I've ever had, hands down. My non-vegan friends and family loved it, especially on pizza. And sandwiches. And everything. Mmmmm My dad even said putting some of the goat on apples was great. I didn't try it yet, but I believe it! read more

Stopped by during our LA tour and the owner Youssef was delight to talk to. We tried several cheeses and decided on the truffle brie, pepper jack, chevre and the pate. We went a bit overboard and knew the cheese would be a bit pricey but well worth it. Youssef was very happy to share the different processes and ingredients for each one of his products and you could truly see how passionate he is about his work. We definitely will be back to try more items on the menu when we are back in the area. Might be a good thing that we are not local or we'd be camping out there every week! Thank you for this magical experience. Parking was easy for us in the lot right in front of Vromage, even on a Saturday. read more

Without a doubt the best vegan cheese shop I've heard of. Better than normal cheese, healthier, and definitely worth it. You can't buy vegan cheese this good at any other store. Plus he does international delivery which is incredible on it's own. The gluten free vegan caprese sandwich is just fantastic. Can't wait to try more here also. If you haven't been, Youssef is a great guy and will talk to you about his work. This is a business of passion and an art on it's own. Keep in mind once you go, you will keep going back! read more

Cannot say enough good things about Vromage! He makes the best cheese I've ever had. His Caprese sandwich is out of this world!! I wish he had several locations throughout the South Bay, but it's worth even driving an hour and a half to get this cheese! Unreal! read more

BEST. VEGAN. CHEESE. This place is incredible. Not only is the cheese amazing, the owner is so friendly and always happy to see us. He clearly makes his cheeses with love & positive energy. They have so many different cheeses, all of which are so flavorful and delicious. I have been to numerous vegan cheese shops around the country and Vromage is still #1 for me. read more

Vromage made me the best sandwich I've had since going vegan. Youssef prepared mozzarella caprese sandwiches on a sourdough baguette for my sister and myself and we were both really impressed with how similar it tasted to real mozzarella. The pesto sauce was also excellent. Youssef is a really nice guy and has created a fantastic little place. I cant wait to go back! read more

Okay. So it stretches. It melts. It pulls. And it's SO SO SO good. When making the shift to living vegan- it pretty common to hear about the difficulty of kicking the dairy - Cheese being the worst offender. And it doesn't help that most vegan cheese doesn't have the properties of traditional cheese- it's often rubber or plasticky. But y'all. Y'all. This right HERRREEEE. Game changer. That said, all the vegan boxes have been checked. Throw some of this goodness on an impossible burger, with tempeh 'bacon,' and fool the meatiest meat eater in your life- it's THAT GOOD. read more

I came here with my cousin and a friend thinking it would be like a small cafe or a sandwich shop with the option of purchasing cheeses. We were wrong. This is a small cheese shop. Handmade cheeses only. Vegan cheeses made with love, by hand, and by one man! We each purchased a variety of cheeses Vromage had to offer. The friendly/chatty owner also allowed us to sample the cheese we were purchasing since we were unfamiliar with the flavors. His cheeses are AMAZING. They are perfect for cooking, eating with wine, or snacking with crackers. Did I mention the owner is also world famous? Yeah, he's famous. I do believe this is THE first vegan cheese shop in Los Angeles. read more

Vromage is among the few restaurants I that has vegan cheese on the menu, and that's usually my first thing to start with and also my main reason for going back and back. I've been eating nut-based vegan cheeses for sometime now. My husband made several attempts to create his own and has always failed (hope he doesn't read this). After my mysery dealing with vegan cheeses I decided that the best thing to do was to pay to let the experts do what they do best. Vromage is one of those places. I recommend spreading the cheeses on a baguette or water crackers. I paired mine with gluten free, grainy crackers at home and found they overpowered the subtle taste of the cheeses. I am so glad I found this place. I think it that help me understand a little more about cheeses. I hope the next time I am out of town and I am shopping vegan cheeses I can make decisions accordingly. Now if only someone would come up with vegan charcuterie I would become the happiest person ever. Hope Vromage become the pioners. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Came here today and had the Caprese sandwich and it was delicious, also picked up some cheeses to go that I can't wait to try! We sat and talked to the owner for a while and he is so friendly and informative! Will definitely be back! read more

Sampled about 7 cheeses (so generous!) some of which I liked more than others. Which is to be expected since that's how I was with dairy cheese too! The ricotta was good but not great and had a bit of an after taste. The goat cheeses were yummy but not so much better than I make at home. LOVES the manchengo, cream cheese, and mozzarella! Some of it was a taste thing and some of it was a texture thing. Like other reviewers said, most of the cheese was on the softer side and I would have loved a harder option. My biggest issue with the place is that there was no menu and no prices listed anywhere. Even my receipt simply said, "manual entry" and wasn't itemized! I have no clue what anything cost and that really bugs me. Can't find the info online either...: I'm fine paying a premium for a premium product but I want to know that before I hand my card over. So glad I stopped in during my visit to LA and got to experience it. But I hope the next time I'm in town I can see what I'm buying and make decisions accordingly. read more

I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. AMAZING soy-free vegan cheeses that will blow your socks off!! Seriously. We had to buy new socks. I think the $$ sign thing needs to be updated on Yelp. I did spend only $$, but the cheese itself is $$$$/ounce (and it should be). Expensive, but very worth it. Creamy, flavorful, great texture... damn it's good. Youseff is amazing and extremely warm. He lets you sample everything! Terrific spot! Also, don't be afraid of the valet. It's free to park for to-go. And if you tip the valet just because, he'll help you out. Great stuff! read more

What a great time to be a vegan! I can barely believe there is an all vegan cheese shop a mile from my house... I'm one lucky lady! There are many varieties of handcrafted, nut-based cheese available here... everything from brie to cheddar to gorgonzola to bleu (which my non-vegan husband says is much better than dairy bleu). You can sample as many as you want, which we did, and they were all incredibly tasty! I've never eaten vegan cheese that tasted as good as any of the cheeses I had at Vromage. Two things I'd like to mention.... not criticisms, but just want you to be aware before you go. 1) There are no prices posted. Be ready, because things are expensive. This is to be expected, due to the quality of the cheese, but if you're not expecting it, you might be shocked. So, we got 2 very nice sandwiches, which cost $25. While we were there, a woman got a moderate selection of cheeses to go, and her total was $67. It's worth it, but be prepared! 2) Don't go if you are in a huge rush. It was pretty busy when we were in there, and the process moved at a snail's pace.... everyone gets samples, which slows down the experience. I think we were in there for about 20 minutes before we even got to order our sandwiches, and there was just 1 couple ahead of us. So, pretend you are in France and expect it to be a leisurely experience. :-) read more

Immediate confession: I am not a vegan. In fact, my family is from Europe, has a French culinary background, and I've been eating fancy, funky gourmet cheese since I've been out of a high chair. I came in with my vegan sister, and politely accepted samples, as we were there to shop for her. After Youssef offered us our 3rd cheese (a "brie" with white truffles shaved in, yes, actual white truffle flakes), I was hooked and started ordering wheels. In fact, I ordered more than my vegan sister. Youssef takes great pride in the quality of his work, and all his "cheeses" are made from cultured nuts and seeds. No soy, no oils, no processed stuff. I am so happy I have found this place. The only thing that makes me sad is I don't live near West Hollywood and I fear I'll need to make weekly trips to refill my supply. Until today, I didn't think I could go vegan, but the stuff Youssef makes is better than most real cheese. read more

Cheese is amazing. Dairy is not. You see my problem. When people would ask me, "Do you miss cheese?" I'd say, "Well, I can still eat grilled cheese, paninis, manicotti, pizza, mac & cheese, nachos, so no.......but I kind of miss having wine and cheese with crackers." NO MORE, my friends, no more. We live in a whole new world. Since I started eating vegan over 3 years ago, we've had a cheese revolution! Kite Hill and Treeline came on the scene, we have Miyoko selling her brilliant cheeses online, and now in LA, we have an entire cheese shop to call our own! I had a surprise Friday off and decided to treat myself with a visit to Vromage. I went in with a plan - two 3oz of cheese to bring home, and a sandwich. One who loves cheese and doesn't get nice cheese often needs to set boundaries for herself. The cheesemonger made this very difficult, as he supplied me with multiple cheese samples, each one better than the last. There was feta, brie, goat cheese, camembert, cheddar, spicy jack....so much delicious cheese!!! I felt overwhelmed but ordered two cheeses I used to love in my past life, brie and chive goat cheese. For the sandwich, I asked him to surprise me with what cheese he used, saying to him, "Whatever you think is best, I am game!" He made me an amazing sandwich with spicy cheddar on one half, and ash goat cheese on the other. Oh my goodness, it was the best sandwich. The goat cheese covered in ash was easily my favorite cheese of the day, as the smoky ash adds so much complexity and flavor. The two cheeses barely lasted the weekend. I kept sneaking into the kitchen for "just a taste," and before I knew it, half of it was gone! These are craveable, artisan cheeses that need no footnote or apology to omnivores. They're different, but they stand alone in how delicious they are. I am dreaming of going back as soon as possible! read more

Absolutely Amazing, Best Cheese I've ever had in my life Highly Recommend Kind of hole in the wall location, but the cheese speaks for itself The owner is very kind and welcoming read more

This place is very special. Their vegan cheeses are some of the best I've ever had: flavorful with great texture. And there are so many types to choose from, including vegan versions of brie, goat cheese, mozzarella, cheddar and blue cheese! The best part is that everything is soy-free: the cheeses are handmade from a variety of nuts and seeds. You have the option of buying cheese on it's own, or enjoying it in a salad, on french bread, on crackers, with tomato and olive oil, or as a pizza. Yum! One of my favorite parts of Vromage is the owner - he is incredibly sweet and passionate. He will let you sample any of the cheese and tell you anything you want to know about them. It was a little hard to find when I first went. Look for it in the mini mall across the street from Laugh Factory, on the same side as the big plaza with CB2 and Trader Joes. You can park for free in the lot for up to 20 minutes. read more

It is currently in soft opening mode. Usually open in the afternoon for a few hours, but call first to confirm. The owner estimates being open in late October officially. The cheese is all vegan. Samples are available. Eventually he will have sandwiches and pizza also. His business card says "Stay healthy my friends" and he does look like "The Most Interesting Man In the World" so it is very clever. read more

See all

A bit pricey, but oh so worth it. My friend and I went and were warmly greeted and offered samplings of several different vegan cheeses. The Bleu cheese was divine, but my favorite was the brie with truffle oil. It cuts like butter and is heaven on earth. This place does cheese so well, I hope they venture into cheesecake. I'm sure they'd knock it out of the park. read more

I miss cheese. Since Im lactose intolerant, I no longer can eat cheese... Makes me super sad. A friend of mine had sent me an article about this place and we happen to be in the neighborhood one weekend, so we stopped by and I am so glad I did. Although it's not cheese, it's probably the closest I will get and I am fine with that because it is pretty damn good! The guy let me sample almost every kind they had. I couldn't get the brie as that was always my favorite cheese and this did not even come close, but the goat cheese and mozzarella came close and that is what I went with. I wanted to buy a few others, but man, it is not cheap. So I will go by again another time and bring home something different. Worth a visit! The people who work here, staff and "cheese master" are very kind and helpful people. I had a great experience and I cannot wait to go back and sample some more and bring something else amazing home! read more

BEST vegan cheese....and well worth the delivery fees to get to destinations outside of LA. Favorite has to be the cranberry concoction as well as their cheese with chives. Their sandwiches are also excellent if you are local. read more

Loved the cheese plate! Love having a vegan cheese shop in Portland. Kind staff. Adorable outdoor patio. We will definitely be back.

I've only been once but the owner was so amazing and he let us sample one of every cheese that he had available that day. We bought an herbed "goat" cheese and swore to ourselves not to eat it all in one sitting but uh...plans change. I live beyond my means so I'll probably keep visits here to once per month but if you are better off than me then come in and support him on the regular. I am heading back this weekend, yum! read more

First time but for sure NOT the last One of the best vegan mozzarella sandwich !! Very friendly and funny service! Very recommended read more

Wow wow wow wow!!! I literally just walked out of the door and had to SPREAD some love. Being someone who is lactose intolerant I have missed cheese for many years. Yes there is some soy this and vegan pizza that. But nothing in the terms of a good cheese plate or cheese and cracker type of vegan cheese. That is until I found this gem. The owner was so nice! He sampled us a few different cheeses and told us all about them. Ended up buying the amazing pepper jack spicy spread. Next time I will have to get the chive goat and brie "cheeses" This is a true life changing place and I could not be happier to work right across the street!! read more

I was in the area and had been wanting to stop by for some time. It was a few days before NYE and I thought a (vegan) cheese plate would be a nice way to ring in the new year. I didn't realize it prior to arrival, but they're by appointment only Monday and Tuesday since they're in the back making cheese. Youssef was kind enough to still let my mom and I sample a few of the cheeses that he had ready. Ohmygosh are the cheeses good. There weren't a ton ready, but we did end up buying 2 goats with chives and another 2 with white truffles. If I lived closer, it'd be a problem since I'd be there all the time. Youssef really has changed the vegan cheese game. read more

Wonderful vegan cheeses in flavors you can't find anywhere else. Youssef was so helpful and friendly. He's even willing to custom-make no-oil cheeses! The goat and feta were my favorites. We also had a mozzarella sandwich - served on perfectly chewy and crusty bread. I will definitely be back! read more

Anytime I'm in LA I stop by Vromage. Youssef is a vegan cheese wizard. It is truly magic how he makes such amazing artisanal vegan nut cheeses! Some of my favorites include veganzola, truffle brie, spicy manchego... Everytime I go in he has a different assortment to choose from and I'm excited to try each one. I pick up vegan cheese from here and make my own crudités and cook with the cheeses at home. This place is truly a one of a kind gem and my all time favorite vegan cheese. I also found out his cheeses were requested and catered to the Grammys and the Royal Wedding... so fancy. Try it out! read more

This place had vegan cheese sandwiches that feel like they would be a fancy Italian restaurant. You get more than what you pay for. We got the mozzarella sandwich which was perfect paired with olive oil, arugula, a baguette, and some spices. read more

Oh my! Vromage is very special. I have been lactose intollerant for decades. I miss cheese most of all. But not any more. Thanks to Chef Youssef and his Fantastic vegan cheeses. Start with the sampler platter. You will get a taste of everything. Then you can decide what to bring home with you. Of course you are going to get some to go. I really liked the Blue and the Brie and got a few ounces of each. We also had a salad with the gorgonzola dressing. It was spot on! Wow! You don't have to settle for nasty store bought processed vegan cheese product anymore. We are all starting from day one now. A revolution has begun at Vromage. Don't be left behind, get down there now! Its so worth it! Double extra super highly recommend. read more

Fantastic vegan cheese. A wide variety is offered--Something for everyone. I would recommend Vromage to anyone--dairy cheese lovers will be amazed. Order the sampler plate and a sandwich with your favorite cheese. Delicious!!! Next time we come to LA we are going to bring a cooler and buy $50-$100 worth of cheese to take home. Truly addicting! read more

This is my new favorite vegan sandwich shop in LA! The Caprese sandwich is so fresh- the bread is perfect and the vegan cheese is the absolute best I've ever had. Also, the takeaway Manchego was superb on crackers at home. The owner is VERY nice and clearly puts his heart into his food! read more

Vromage - Great name and a Great cheese and Great place!! Finally an amazing Vegan Cheese Shop/Deli :) :) My fiancé and I visited Vromage a couple of weeks ago to try the cheese and we are hoping to have some cheese catered to our wedding this summer, as part of our appetizers that we will offer. The owner Youssef was very accommodating, friendly and courteous! We were offered samples of some amazing different types of cheese that he offers. The cheese is in a raw form, which is of course healthier for you than any other processed cheese, so the rawfoodist's will appreciate this place as well!! I believe only the "Brie" and the "Camembert" has an outer "shell" that is not raw because it has been heated up a little bit to get the consistency closeness to resemble the real dairy cheese version of these specific types of cheese. The store is nicely decorated, clean and organized. It actually kind of resembles a French Cheese Shop! We bought a few cheese to go and were truly savoring them the entire week after. We live in Newport Beach and it was well worth the drive! Hopefully they will expand soon to Orange County!! Again, great cheese, great service and a great shop all around :) :) Highly recommend!! read more

Stopped in to meet Yousseff and pick up a few special vegan cheeses. Yousseff let us try about seven varieties of cheeses, and told us that earlier the day he sent some to the White House. Also, I asked Yousseff if he was interested in staying small and he adamantly replied "No". Cheese, IMHO, is an area of vegan diet that could use more variety and better quality. More power to him! Vromage also has a short menu of salads and sandwiches. No restroom. Parking is a little tricky, as the lot looks to be entirely served by a valet read more

Vromage is a really lovely little place! Youssef is so kind and allowed us to sample all of his lovely cheeses! His helper at the counter was also very nice, but I unfortunately did not get his name.The cheeses themselves are very delicious, but since they are made from nuts they also have their own unique flavor. Some of them could definitely fool a traditional cheese lover. The two of us each ordered a sandwich, one grilled cheese and one baguette with white Gouda. Each of them was divine! The grilled cheese was grilled to perfection and not greasy at all. The baguette was fresh, with fresh arugula, white Gouda and a drizzle of truffle oil... so simple, yet so delicious! We also took some cheese home with us and enjoyed it with a glass of wine and a baguette a few days later. My only criticisms would be that the shop is small, so it doesn't have a lot of room for sitting and enjoying a meal. It really isn't set up to be a restaurant, so if you plan to eat don't come with a large group, or just plan to take it to go. The parking lot is also very small, but we were lucky to get the last spot when we showed up. That's LA for you! I also wish they would open a second shop in San Diego! :-) Vromage is worth the trek for vegans and cheese lovers alike I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the Hollywood area. Be aware of their hours: Wednesday to Sunday 11:30am-7:30pm except holidays. Open Monday and Tuesday for wholesale by reservation only. read more

Heard about this place and decided to check it out for my Vegan daughter. We made her a vegan lasagna for Christmas dinner and used their ricotta and mozz. She was in love. Of course, there's more to lasagna than the cheese but it was a key part for sure. The following week I made her a Neapolitan style pizza and the mozz was sooooo good. I'll attach a picture so you can drool. This place isn't cheap, let's be clear. But in the world of vegan cheese, you get what you pay for and so if you want the best, this is it. read more
