Like, we-think-you-don't-have-a-day-job kind of late. Noon-ish. On a Tuesday. I don't know who their target demographic is, but it's not anyone with a functioning calendar. When you do manage to show up during their elusive open hours, you're greeted by... well, "greeted" is generous. The staff makes you feel like you interrupted their private cheese cult meeting. Don't expect warm conversation -- unless you're the cheddar. There are free samples, which I respect. If you're feeling broke and brave, you could turn it into a little snack crawl. And the cheese? It's fine. Not bad. Not transcendent. Just... cheese. Maybe you'll find something aged and interesting, or maybe you'll walk out wondering if Trader Joe's would've hit the same for less. Verdict: Free samples Absurd hours Staffed by dairy gatekeepers Cheese that says "eh," not "ooh"

Most recently, I went in as I saw on their social media they sold unique tins of fish (pictured) from countries like Portugal. I purchased tinned sardines, squid in tomato sauce, horse mackerel and scallops, along with a really cute Hanukkah themed card for a friend. I've only tried the sardines but they were awesome on toast. The shop itself is small but carries a good variety of dry goods, and refrigerated items near the back. I've also tried one of their sandwiches and one of their pre prepared pastas which were divine, with the quality of ingredients standing out to me the most. Staff is always friendly as well. I'd come back here any day of the week!
