Heralded as Honolulu’s first boutique dedicated to all things cheese, Bubbly & Bleu has become the spot people turn to when needing gourmet food products. Opened in 2021 by the husband-and-wife team, Cheryl and Fred DeAngelo, this charming Kaimukī shop is an elevated deli by day and a venue for “all things gourmet” at night. Customers can head to the store’s deli counter, manned by trained cheese mongers, and choose from an international selection of finely made cheeses. You can also preorder items like smoked salmon trays, caviar pies, and charcuterie boards, which feature an assortment of artisanal cheese, cured meats, seasonal fruits, jams, Hawaiian honey, and crackers. In addition to its food offerings, the store also serves as a venue for monthly board-making classes. During each session, customers are treated to a lavish cheese and charcuterie buffet while Cheryl and Fred share tips on creating your own charcuterie board, the flavor profiles of various kinds of cheese, and even tips on when to serve each different type of cheese. Throughout the year, the venue is also the site of their Chefs Table, where Fred unleashes his culinary talent through a multicourse meal. Whether searching for delectable additions to your picnic landscape or the perfect hostess gift, head to Bubbly and Bleu, where you can shop, gather and enjoy the finer things in life.
