Buvons Wine Shop + Wine Bar

Delightful pocket where you feel you are in a different world with great food and wine. They had 5 wines for happy hour. Loved the basil ice cream with strawberry cheesecake! The panisse was delicious as well. The tomatoes, basil and feta were so fresh. Definitely have to return. Loved sitting in the back.

Outstanding experience! Tried beer wine for the first time. The May menu was delish - pork belly, lamb ravioli, olive oil cake - everything was perfect. We will be back soon. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. (we ate the food before we had a chance to take photos; it was that good!)

This wine shop is a wonderful and relaxing spot. They offer an extensive selection of wines, and the staff are friendly and approachable, always ready to help. The ambiance is cozy, with a cute and simple design that adds to the charm. It’s a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy your time. Highly recommended for wine enthusiasts to check out.

What a perfect place to catch up with friends. The back patio is quiet, shaded and the service was helpful. An employee helped us choose a wine and we loved it. There is a restaurant next door, I have not been but will definitely pay a visit. The current chef specializes in French cuisine.

Nice neighborhood wine shop/bar with occasional pop up food vendors. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Visited before to pick-up bottles of wine. came last week for a Korean food pop-up. Had a nice glass of vermouth to go with the Korean food. Will definitely be coming back for snacks off their menu soon.

- on site at the restaurant for over 3 hours - waited 25 minutes to get any service once seated so we order all of our courses at once - took 25 minutes from ordering a glass of wine to receiving it - I arrived at 7pm…I am not leaving at 10:15pm - every portion took so long that we request our main to be boxed so we could leave - pretty disappointing being that we ordered oysters, bread, steak, and pasta. All over priced. All take less than an hour to prepared. - 2 tables left before us without even ordering because the service was so slow - my biggest disappointment is that we didn’t leave sooner

great wine spot. all natural wine selection, good space, good wine, great service. we came for the first time because of the Hamburgers Nice pop up… thought we’d support the shop and get a bottle of wine and ended up buying 3 + a cheese and bread plate. We aren’t LB locals but will definitely be back. (didn’t get a pic of our first bottle, also there’s a corking fee that confused me cuz we bought their wine and drank it there)

The off-beaten path of Long Beach is a treasure hunt. Try seeking small spaces with a level of sophistication + a really damn good selection of bread + butter + good people. This is one of those little gems. I highly suggest gathering friends on a Sunday after noon + grabbing a couple bottles + ordering some small bites vibing amongst while absorbing the well curated playlist ideally sporting something like Birkenstocks + blue jeans + an open mind for Natty wine.

This place was so amazing I almost want to keep it a secret... My husband and I dined here on a Sunday evening for dinner and were absolutely blown away. Their menu is creative with a new chef each month bringing fresh ideas for their "mid" and "large" size plates. Their snacks and apps stay the same and are more for pairing with a bottle of wine. The quality of the food and the flavors in each dish were incredible. My favorite was the lamb! Ben was our waiter (also a Somm). He was friendly, knowledge, and attentive. The space itself is much larger than you'd think from the exterior with a warm and welcoming vibe. We can't wait to come back!

my wife and i got to escape for a day date thanks to our grandparents / babysitters and have been dying to go here. we sat in the back patio and got the cheese/charcuterie plate and sampled a few glasses of natty wine. it was truly what we needed - relaxation, serenity, and delicious wine with great background - thanks to the staff. if we have a chance to dine here or attend one of the very tempting events - we will jump on it, but that will be very dependent on who's going to watch our daughters, haha. thank you for opening this kind of experience in long beach - it's much needed versus another diner, pizza place, smash burger spot.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Adorable wine shop with a huge selection and delectable snacks. I'd been meaning to check this place out for months but it always slipped my mind until I spied it on the way to the Bamboo Club to meet up with some friends for lunch. We decided to take a gander after lunch and we're so glad we did! The store is light, bright, and quite large, filled with shelves upon shelves of wine bottles. We asked the friendly and knowledgeable staff member for a recommendation and we decided to share a bottle. There are seating areas inside and out, but since it was a sunny autumn afternoon we decided to sit outside on their very pleasant patio. I forget the name of the wine we had (I did take a photo), but all I know is it was a red and we all enjoyed it. They do charge $15 for corkage, fyi. As the sun started to set it started to get quite chilly, so I availed myself to one of the Mexican blankets they had in a basket by the door, which I thought was a nice touch. I'd also noticed a lovely-looking Basque cheesecake as we walked in, and suggested to my friends that we share a slice. It was wonderfully scrumptious and we ate every last crumb. I came back with another friend a couple of weeks later on a weeknight. We brought a game of Scrabble with us to accompany our wines and also decided to try their stuffed mushrooms, which were delectable. They used to also have a restaurant next door called Mangette, and while they closed it, I'm glad that they're still making some food! I'm bummed I never got to try the restaurant proper, but apparently its spirit lives on. I will definitely be back before too long!

Expensive for Mediocre food and service...I had the chicken which was just okay and the service was also just okay.

Loved getting to check out Buvons! This was a spot I had been wanting to try so we went for pre-dinner drinks on Valentine's Day. We got a glass of the orange and chilled red. Both very smooth and delicious. The waitress gave us some background about the wines and offered to find us a bottle within the store if we were looking for something different. It has a nice aesthetic inside and cute patio outside. We sat inside since it was cold out and I didn't bring a warm jacket. There were cute little "Will you be my valentine?" cards on the table. Wine by the glass is $15, but I saw they have happy hour Mon-thurs where they're $10 a glass. I'd like to go back another time during happy hour and get to try some of their food, their bites sound good!

Stopped by this location today for the cutest coffee pop up. They had the best service and the yummiest coffee. They had nice music and a nice shaded area to sit. They're open Wed through Sunday 8-2pm only through April 27 (Sunday), 2025.

What an incredible little gem in Long Beach! Thanks to our most gracious Parisian beautiful soul of a host Luna who is so well versed in these beer wine thingies, we had a beautiful experience at Buvons (which means 'lets drink' btw). Have a glass or two of meuZenne in the beautiful and quiet garden in the backyard. There is lots of seating and plants to suit the needs of everyone! Maybe a smooth glass of Cantillon would strike your fancy. Pair either with the buttery sheep and goat cheese for an elegant savior faire! Do what you like here There are so many exquisite natural wines to choose fom so I suggest you join the wine club for the ultimate experience! Hey, the only beer I'd drink is only at Buvons Natural Wines. Maybe by chance I'll see you there! You're welcome ew

Great service! Destiny was an awesome server the wine she suggested was 10/10 and will be coming back to purchase a bottle of it!

expect them to be nice and show preferential treatment unless your a POC who's alone and a woman. Then expect to be treated less than and for them to dismiss you, deny it and say these are "unfair claims" -- you know exactly how you'd expect discrimination and disrespect to go.

Cute place and good wine, but beware of the $15 corkage fee for the bottle that was bought at their bar to enjoy at their bar! The most bazaar thing ever. Corkage fee charged to a bottle brought from home is understandable, but a fee for their own bottle? Strange strange concept.

Beware of $10-15 corkage fee. Came here because my friend had a pop-up event and end up buying one bottle of beer. Everything was good until the bill came. The beer was 30 and somehow I ended up paying $42. I guessed they have some hidden corkage fee that was like $10-15. How the hell did they charged a corkage fee for a bottle of beer? Its literally just a bottle cap, not a cork. Stay away from this place.

I really wanted to like this spot, but 3 stars is generous, because I really didn't enjoy it as much as i'd hoped. They do have a nice selection of good wines for $14 a glass. We tried a bright "Orange / Somos "Naranjito" " and a lovely cab Franc "Ampeleia" from Tuscany. Both were very good. They also offer a variety of simple snacks... nuts, chips, cheeses, etc. But they play very loud sort of "house" style music, which is not at all relaxing or conducive to conversation. The ambience is minimalist, and the service is as well. Servers are polite, but not attentive to detail. (They don't check back with a table once you've been served, and we had to wait and ask for napkins.) Due to their location in the middle of a busy block, there is limited street parking. That is not their fault. When I go out for a glass of wine, I want to savor the moment and the wine, but the loud music interfered.

Nestled in the middle of a Long Beach neighborhood is a cute little hidden Wine bar where you can become a member or just Pop-in and enjoy a glass or bottle. Can't stay? That's okay, take it to go! Today, I picked up their Nas Del Gegant, a red wine they suggested would go great with the dinner I planned to cook. ‍ I'm no chef, but I used the wine to make a mushroom sauce, and let me tell you. It came out great! The girl (I didn't ask her name, sorry.) said this wine would go great with my filet mignon with mushroom sauce with a side of potatoes and green beans. I'm a new wine drinker, so I respect their suggestions when I go pick up a bottle. My sauce turned out finger-licking good. It tasted like a 5-star restaurant made it. Haha, I'm just excited the food was good, and pairing it with the wine tied it all nicely like a cute ribbon . Anyway, thanks to the girl who recommended the wine to me. My date also thanks you.

The vibe and space was really nice. The back patio was very spacious and welcoming. Food and wine were great. Will come back for sure!

Buvons is absolutely my go to wine bar! Cozy night with your partner? Buvs. Wanting to gab with your closest besties? Buvs. Need a quick little $25 bottle of wine for the beach? Buvs! I've always struggled to find my niche within wine, let alone natural wine. With their teams friendly, easy-going approach it's become a place for me to learn and enjoy without the intimidation I usually feel. Their staff is quite knowledgeable, personable, and are happy to provide you with both an arrange varieties and fair prices! I used to think I hated white wine, and now (as they know) it's my favorite. True to the Long Beach essence Buvons brings in a welcoming place for all. They partner with other local creators and makers of all sorts adding nothing but warmth to the LB community! So if you're looking for a recommendation this is by far my favorite! PS, their back patio is the perfect spot to bring your friendly pup

Really disappointed after really looking forward to going to Buvons. It would be one thing if it were just one element that was off but there were multiple things that had my husband and I looking at each other with "WTF eyes". It's a really cute place... we were surprised how empty it was, not a good sign at 6pm on a Saturday night. We ordered wine which was poured table side. The serving was so small I imagine they get 7 "glasses" out of one bottle. Crazy when you're paying 17 dollars per glass. The cheeseboard we ordered was very lackluster: no jam, mustard, honey... anything that you would typically see to accompany. I wouldn't be so picky if everything weren't so pricey but overall all the dishes we ordered were very small portions, overpriced for being just ok. The service also left much to be desired. After spending almost 200 dollars for a total of 2 glasses of wine each and 4 small plates we left feeling very unsatisfied and still hungry and actually went somewhere else. Hopefully management reads these reviews and takes action to correct the issues.

The best service! So friendly and knowledgeable. Cute store and dining area with back patio The food tho, is over priced and every dinner course was COLD. I learned they do not have a full kitchen, but instead a prep room and reheat the pre-made food? I don't think I should pay over $100 for a dinner that is reheated :/ Good wine selection tho!

I will have to agree with the service here being an issue. The place is pricy, I spent $80 on two toasts and two glasses of wine. This wouldn't be a big deal if the service was at least decent but it is pretty bad. I waited so long to order a second glass of wine, I ended up going to the front of house to ask them. I found all three employees huddled together talking instead of tending to their business. And then, once I got the taster, I waited even longer for them to pour the full glass. I really enjoyed the food though, but not sure I'll be back if their service is usually like this. Music was also great.

This place has so much potential but misses the mark. First of all, cashless is not OK. LA should be legally doing away with it sometime this year, but they shouldn't have to. Businesses should not be exclusionary by not letting people pay in cash. Next, none of the wine have prices on the bottle, so you have to ask about every bottle you are interested in and consequently feel ashamed if it is more than what you are capable of paying. Lastly, wine is not organized by region or country-- but by cute buzz words that I find ridiculous --making it more difficult than it needs to be just to go in and grab a bottle from a region that you know you enjoy.

They can't WAIT to go out of business. Go and see for yourself, if you dare to buy a bottle of wine and pay the $15 corkage fee.

Unfortunately not a good experience at the wine bar. Staff was inattentive and when charged they added their own tip without consent. Despite that the wine was really good

This place is such a gem in the area. Not only are the wine selection vast, they are all so good too. Everyone is friendly which makes us come back over and over and over again. We just love this place. I hope you all come and check it out. The vibe is relax and chill. Fridays - a duo or a DJ performs. It's our go to place after a stressful work week.

They could improve their service and their food. I found hair in my food and the waitress acted personally offended that I pointed it out and got very defensive. They also serve wine in dirty glasses. It's extremely loud and obnoxious. In addition to the unsanitary standards, I was disappointed that they didn't replace my glass with a clean one or offer to replace my meal.

I was recommended to come here so I decided to try it out but I will NOT be back. Our waitress was rude and very unfriendly. I didn't get her name but she has black hair & a French accent. Being it was our first time here , we were asking if they had different foods & her response was cold & just a " no " instead of trying to be helpful and offer what they do have. I asked her if they had a bathroom & her response in a cold tone was " yes" and didn't point or gesture to where it was. The wine was good but a little pricey in my opinion plus there a $15 corkage fee. The food was good but small portions. Not worth it and will not be back.

Excellent food, service and ambience! They just launched their dinner concept-a neighborhood French bistro. I took my friend for her birthday and we had the bread & furikake kimchi butter (the butter was savory and comforting), the jumbo shrimp cocktail (out of this world cocktail sauce and super fresh shrimp), sunchokes (so many textures, I licked the puree off the plate), and seared scallops with celery root in a yuzu butter (I've never had celery root like this-what a tasty combo), and the strawberry mille feuille (a beautiful ending). Wines were paired perfectly. Going back next week!

Wonderful wine shop and bar in Long Beach! It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood so parking is a bit tough. Great selection of wine and awesome staff. I really like this place and wish I lived closer.

A Cool Wine Bar on the Anaheim & Redondo intersection that's worth a visit to any Wino. A rich selection of bottles from Domestic to International French, Spain, Portugal etc..etc.. Bottle prices ranged from a approachable $21.00 to $50.00. The staff ( one woman) was hospitable, friendly & patient with us and many of the patrons that followed behind us. She leisurely pointed out suggestions & listened to questions. What a great host. Tastings were available to patrons. I did take notice of hidden Easter Eggs sprinkled within the shelves; example two bottles of La Boheme hidden on the backside of the island shelf. Pretty funny. The location is large enough for bigger groups, but my inclination is a group of 5 or less would perfect. Whatever you think of the review will be subjective, but I hope it adds to your curiosity. The wine bar is worth visiting, tasting, relaxing & overall having a pleasant afternoon or evening. Cheers 'clink'

This place is such a vibe (music, decor, people watching, wine selection, etc). and has friendliest and warmest staff. Team educated us on natural wines and we never looked back (we became members on the spot). Also, they have fun food pop-ups. Follow them on Instagram to see the latest events. I'm obsessed and take photos of all the bottles we get (posting a few of my favorite white wines for those perfect sunny SoCal days...I tend to like bright, fruity, and some minerality on the back-end). If you're not sure what to order, just describe it....they got you! Don't fall asleep on this place.

Once again so into a culinary experience and catching up with good company that I forgot to snap a few photos. YIKES I gotta stop this. Super chill vibe. Small and intimate, with dog-friendly patio (but do know there is a people friendly dog on-site). As someone who is over the California wine standards (Chardonnay, Sav Blanc, Pinot Gri, Pinot Noir, Zin, Cab Sauv, Merlot, Syrah abd maybe a Riesling if someone's adventurous) this place is a great find. Especially if you're looking to explore stock not easily available outside of Europe. We tried an Austrian Red (name to come) it was delicious. A little on the higher price spectrum. But the nuance in a lot of these are fully worth it. They do offer some "nibbles" Smoked salmon is a must, but not flat stuff from the market. This is a few medallions served in a chili oil. Cheese board was a bit slim IMO but delicious. Castleventrano olives... the best variety so young and nutty be the super salty options more common. I will say the service was delightful. We stayed an hour past closing, good company and vino makes the time fly, and TBH didn't know. But no one rushed us out the door or even made us feel like it might be time to jet. I promise to watch my clock better next time! Will defs return, and take pics!

Fresh, Inviting, Warm, Soul, Curated, Atmosphere, Mouth-watering good tinned fish, bread, butter; I love it here! The music surrounded me like a warm hug - I heard Hall and Oats, "When the Morning Comes," echoing through the vintage speakers. It is romantic to have this music being played on a turntable. The crackling whisper from the record player is like having a fireplace of sound. Alicia Kemper ( the owner,) is humble, kind, soft-spoken, and filled with a deep breadth of wine knowledge. Long Beach is lucky to have her. Like a great DJ - you can trust her to help you choose anything. Her team was wonderful; a petite and lovely French woman assisted me with choosing a great bottle of wine and maybe the best "Conserva," that I have ever had. Do not miss the beautifully chosen tinned fish! The wines are carefully curated. I could find something to drink for exceptional value and for a splurge. This is a place for wine lovers at all levels of knowledge. One could find rare bottles like Knoll - the best white wine producer from Austria, and Cossard; a natural and unique producer from Burgundy. Unico Zelo Wines are amazing and she has them at a welcome price point. I am already looking forward to returning and am excited to see Buvons thrive. This is a perfect cocktail of Soul and warmth. If you do not love this place - please move out of California; the midwest needs you.

Sitting here right now already can't wait to come back. Everyone working here is the kindest and most knowledgeable on wine. Bottles are affordable space is welcoming. There are light snacks you can order as well. Like the outdoor seating area. All wines are natural BTW so enjoy the lack of headaches. :) affordable wine clubs starting at one bottle a month

Love this spot! Everyone on staff is knowledgeable and the doggie is a huge plus. I appreciate that they have a shelf that's specifically bottles for less than $30 so you can just grab a cheaper bottle to share while there or as a gift. When it's not full, the inside can feel a bit awkward so bring a book or a friend. The food is a bit overpriced for what you get, but I've been seeing more popups being hosted there which is great. Definitely support this local business and enjoy the beautiful selection of wines!

Buvons is a gem! Benjo helped us out, and he was great! I appreciated how friendly and knowledgeable he was on the selection of wines offered here as well as the various options to enjoy them (eg by the glass or bottle, shop with his help for a bottle, special tastings). The indoor and outdoor seating areas are thoughtfully curated to provide a cozy and intimate space to connect over a glass of wine. They also offer a good variety of snacks on the menu, which I'll have to come back to try another time! The blankets available for guests to use were an amazing touch when it got a bit chilly on the patio towards closing time.

As a lover of natural wine you can imagine my excitement when I heard this place was opening up. You see we moved from LA to Long Beach this past year and the lack natural wine spots was a bummer for me. Fast forward to last night when I was celebrating my birthday with my Mom and my almost 1 year old baby. After dinner at Ellie's we decided to stop by and pick up some wine! We were having such a great evening we wanted to keep the good vibes going. Now I will say this is definitely the place to come if your looking to pick up some natural wine. The selection is huge and the way it's organized is also very user friendly! We were greeted by the shop dog when we first walked in which my baby loved. I noticed they have a beautiful back patio and they offer cheese plates and wine tastings. When I asked the woman who seemed to be the owner or manager she told me I couldn't do a tasting because babies aren't allowed. That was it. No friendly explanation or anything remotely nice to be honest. There are no signs posted that say no kids allowed. This woman was so cold and not friendly that I sure hope she is not the owner because her customer service skills are non existent. I get that some people hate babies/kids like this woman. But when working with customers that is no excuse to be rude, cold and make people feel unwelcome. Could have been handled much differently. We ended up buying a few bottles quickly and leaving before the daggers in her eyes shot us down. Sorry for existing lady!!!! I'm being extremely generous with four stars. The unpleasantry of the woman working is enough for me to never come back. If she had been nice about it I would have loved to come back sans baby for a date night but I would rather not go to a place and spend money to be treated rudely and unkindly. Overall a real bummer. A quick edit -- the employee from France was a really sweet woman and very helpful!

Came with a friend just to try! I'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to wine so I had little knowledge of the types and tastes I wanted. We were immediately greeted and assisted. My friend wanted a type of orange wine and we got recommended the Dinavolino. We sat in the back patio area and they poured the glasses and brought it out to us. Really enjoyed the laidback atmosphere and the server was patient and attentive!

Buvons is the best wine bar we have been to in Long Beach! The ambiance and staff are extremely pleasant. We love their daily tasting options paired with a cheese. Most of their cheeses come with Gusto Bread, another Long Beach classic! We have been several times and are yet to not love one of their wines.

First time I visit, AMAZING! can't complain...BUT the second time a server call Marie, was in bad mood and was rude. I decided leave because I felt uncomfortable. I didn't take it personal, I thought she was only having a bad day (like every human being) BUT wow! surprise, my third visit. Same mood, same actitud, same energy. So clearly she is juts a rude person with no background on costumer service. I try to spoke with the owner, juts to give them a feedback but I got the same passive aggressive energy. I realized they are business patterns and very good friends. Such a shame because I really like this place and vibe.

Never in my life have I experienced such horrible customer service. I love this place. But damn do the people working here ruin it. The workers are above you. They think they're better than you. They don't care about you. They'll charge you a $15 corkage fee for the bottles you buy at their own shop then won't hand you a chair that's behind them. It's service we've never experienced in our lives. Wow. Good luck with your small business with this staff.

Love this place, but charging a corkage fee for a bottle that you buy at the establishment is not normal!

Came here with a group of girlfriends. Ambiance was so cute! Sat indoors for our wine tasting but there is also a cute outdoor patio. Got the cheese plates, very yummy and wine was great too!

Great wine, shit service. Place has a lot of potential, but the pretentiousness is too hardcore for me. EDIT: Buvons reminds me of the scene in Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts comes in with a bunch of designer shopping bags representing all the money she spent elsewhere because the upscale pretentious shopkeeps on Rodeo drive wouldn't let her shop there a few days prior because they had zero people skills. My group was Julia Roberts in this story, and Buvons is the pretentious ladies with their snub noses who lost out. BIG MISTAKE. HUGE.

I absolutely love Buvons. My partner and I stumbled across it by accident awhile back, and have been regulars ever since. It's got the perfect energy for stopping by and hanging out for awhile, or for a quick drop by to grab a bottle or two. The wine is delicious, and pairs great with their cheese plates. The staff is wonderful (I'm genuinely baffled by the reviews here that complain about the staff, because everyone is there is great). Luna in particular is an absolute gem of a human being. She's never once missed helping us pick a bottle for a variety of tastes and vibes. I genuinely don't know how she gets it right every time and never misses, knows so much about each wine, and somehow also knows all of the regulars by name!

Some of these reviews make me so happy I've never worked in a bar or restaurant! The Yelp Gobblins are on full display here, doing nothing productive by writing soapbox tirades on this platform, except making me laugh, I guess. Feel that personally affected? Want to actually make a change? Reach out to management, or...I don't know, speak to them in real life...before stroking your ego on here. Wild. Anyway, I, unlike my bitter cohorts below me, made a yelp profile just to leave 5 stars because I was so taken by everything Buvons has to offer. My husband and I moved down here recently and just happened by this shop by accident and it felt so nice to see something so intentional. We talked wine with one member, were talked through 3 different bottles (with different price ranges), took a bottle home to go with dinner, loved it(!) came back the next day, and she immediately asked how it paired with our dinner. How is that pretentious? Feels humble to me. It's cozy inside, bunch of seating outside. Wine selection is crazy! Their snacks are top quality (bread from a local bakery) good sardines. They have a multiple wines by the glass. I love hearing them talk about wine and how they interact with regulars, it seems like such a good community to be a part of. This is the place.

This wine shop is adorable and has amazing service. We tried the wine tasting and another red recommendation, which was so good that we bought a bottle to go. The atmosphere is very relaxing, and staff are very knowledgeable and super friendly. I recommend any wine enthusiasts to check this place out!

came here with friends for opening week. was excited to try it but unfortunately pretty let down by the experience i had. to start, we got seated at a large table against the wall and after about 20 minutes or so the waiter came over and asked us if we could scoot over(to the middle of the table) so that they could squeeze another couple next to us, leaving myself an my partner locked in between two other groups. meaning we had to bug them to get up every time we need too(annoyingly claustrophobic). not a huge deal but definitely annoying. we ordered a wine and an artichoke appetizer (waiter gave hardly no suggestions or info on wines when asked, seemed like he didn't know much). wine came out decently quick but for some reason the artichoke ended up taking over an hour? waiter came after quite some time and mentioned the order hadn't even been put in yet because he forgot, asked if we still wanted it. we told him yes, he offered us complimentary rose for the trouble which didn't even end up being a full glass but a literal sip of wine each. could have just comped us the artichoke for that long of a wait. gave no apology for the inconvenience. mind you this place was maybe 2/3 full at this point of the night, no line outside whatsoever. all in all, super mid experience. overpriced, overhyped. don't bother. better, cheaper, more hospitable wine bars in town.

I have never had a bad experience at Buvons and the last few reviews have me incredibly puzzled. I have been coming to Buvons at least once a week for the past year because they have hands down the best wine selection, the most knowledgeable staff and an ambiance that I haven't been able to find anywhere in Long Beach or even the greater LA area for that matter. The team at Buvons deeply cares about finding a wine that you'll enjoy. They check personal preference at the door and don't smother you while you're trying to make a decision. Wine is increasingly expensive PERIOD and the quality of the wine is meticulously curated. I can't help but feel like the last few negative reviews show a bit of gender bias in that the team at Buvons is entirely female. For the majority of the staff, English is their second language (with stunningly beautiful accents) so maybe the reviewer's own insecurities were coloring their perspectives. The women of Buvons are whip smart and do not shy away from that. I will be a forever patron.

Love Buvons! Great cozy shop, fun events, delicious wine and nice people. Wine club is great too!

It was such a wonderful place to find and explore. We would say it's a little gem in the LB community. For me, it was a great way to celebrate the coming of the holiday season with my team. The wine tasting and charcuterie board were perfect. We loved the relaxed ambience and decor giving us an opportunity to have fun conversations and catch up. The service was excellent and we enjoyed the stories behind the wines we were able to taste. Highly recommend this place and will return soon!

​Beyond that, you must pay 15 dollars to open the bottle, and the service is terrible! Sadly, I can't give zero stars. I wrote the first one-star review at the store, and when I was leaving, the manager asked my name and started calling me out for the one-star review. After saying a bunch of shit to me, she started yelling at my wife. The French girl and the Maganer were the worst. Honestly, the worst experience ever! Because there, the client is never right.
