Bubbly & Bleu

Super cute boutique cafe! I walked in on a whim on a Friday afternoon, it was not busy, and the young lady working that dat was very sweet and helpful. She introduced the cheeses in the chilled display, and I decided to try the brie with black truffle. I was apprehensive when i saw the price tag ($17!), she very kindly offered to cut a smaller wedge for me. Then i saw a stilton with mango and ginger and just HAD to try it (it's soooo good on its own I ate half at one go!!) Didn't ask what the tables and mismatched-but-somehow-coordinating chairs were for, (possibly workshops or tasting parties?) but they look super inviting and cosy. I can't stop thinking abt the stilton so i might go back for more soon.

This review is strictly for their take out charcuterie board. Someone brought this to a dinner party we were at and we were given it to take home. The selection is beautiful (see pics) and few different cheeses, meats and fruits to choose from. It also came with a cute little jar of honey. Everything tasted wonderful, the ingredients were of high quality. I would love to go by one day, this is very much up my alley lol.

I'm absolutely obsessed with Bubbly & Bleu! Everything is not only delicious but also beautifully presented. I recently got the Mezzo and Piccolo platters, and let me tell you, my taste buds were in for a treat! I especially loved the Mezzo platter with those goat cheese balls covered in coconut shavings. The fruit is always super fresh, and the meat is top-notch quality.You have to preorder the boxes, but it makes pickup a breeze! Kaimuki has plenty of parking, though it can get a bit hectic around lunchtime. Kaua, their employee, is just the friendliest and most helpful person. I was able to purchase a gift certificate for a specific platter.The inside of the boutique is just adorable. They've got all these cute knick-knacks and packaged meat and cheese. It's basically a little treasure trove in there!

We had such a unique and fun evening at one of the charcuterie board classes. It was $85 per person, a little bit of a splurge but overall worth the quality cheese, meats and fruits you get along with the curated experience and expertise. Most importantly, that includes snacks and sparkling wine to enjoy while you build your board. Each guest got a charcuterie cup and there was also a larger shared board with an assortment of cheeses and meats to graze on.Our teacher and the shop owner, Cheryl, is so passionate about her craft. She walked us through making our board and introduced us to each ingredient as we plated it. She explained some concepts to keep in mind while we designed our boards and her husband, the Chef of the restaurant, walked around to give us some pointers as we went. We went in kind of blind, knowing very little about cheese and charcuterie, but everyone was so unpretentious and friendly! We were all there to have a fun night and eat good food.This was a great way to get to know some cheese and charcuterie basics and I know I'll be back to buy ingredients, or pick up a board for a gift.

A fabulous fun filled evening, highly recommend you try this....I were one of 2,guys in with the girls and had a total blast.....

I have to say that this place is so great! The online ordering system is so fast and so easy. Paid through PayPal and scheduled our pick-up about a month in advance. I wrote some comments on my online order in that I understand the store closes at a certain time, but if there was any way I could pick-up at a later time and the owner made that happen! I picked it up at 430p, thank you soooo much for accommodating that. I pulled up to the back, and they brought all my items out to me. Coming and going was a breeze. As for the food, we ordered a Grande 2.0, smoked salmon box and 2 dozen strawberries. We had 10 ladies in our party and we definitely couldn't finish it all! I think my most favorite part was that everything was so fresh and presentable. The crostini/bread that came with that salmon box is sooooo yummy, I can't stop thinking about it! I can't speak to the ambiance of the inside of their store, but we will definitely look into those private classes/parties that I read somewhere!

Some things may surprise you, others may bring you home. But at the end of it all you feel like you are home!

This is such a cute store... my friend LOVES cheese and likes to make her own charcuterie boards so I was in search for some cheese. This place was perfect because I was able to by items for her to make her own board, along with accessories to go along with the gift. They also offer charcuterie classes too! Although, I'm good at eating, not at creating :)LOCATION: Right off Koko Head Avenue! If you're heading East bound, take the Koko Head Ave off and head towards Waialae Avenue. You'll see their cute blue store on your left.PARKING: Lots of street metered parking right in front... or, you can park inside of the parking lots behind the store.SERVICE: I love that this is a family owned store. When you walk in, they offer great suggestions and the places feels homey. They are very informative and provided me with so many options! My friend totally LOVED her gift from here.They also offer pre-ordered sets so be sure to check out their website!www.bubblyandbleu.com
