I love that Beecher's is like the only place in this state other than the airport where you can buy Deep River snacks' mini bags of jalapeño chips. I'd been looking for them everywhere, and I was so glad when I spotted them at Beecher's a few years ago. Whenever I have a craving, I can just stop by the mall and pick up a bag! Regarding their food, I wish they listed all ingredients on the menu. I love their lasagna, but it has spinach in it, which I'm intolerant to, so the first and last time I ordered lasagna at Beecher's was a pretty painful experience. During my most recent Beecher's trip a few weeks ago, my boyfriend ordered a grilled cheese and their salmon mac and cheese. I had a few bites of both, and they were delicious. The grilled cheese was perfectly crispy, and I loved the crunch it made when I first bit into it. The gooey-ness of the cheese in the macaroni was also incredible, and I loved the texture. I'm sure I'll come back soon! I would probably be more inclined to drop by during every mall trip if they had better coffee. Every time I order an iced mocha, it's overpriced and absolutely disgusting. The flavours are never incorporated, and every time I think it will be different, it's the same. read more

I finally get to try Beecher's, The famous cheese shop, a beloved institution known for its handcrafted cheeses and cheese sandwiches. I first found out about Beecher's when I was at Pike's Place and noticed the super long line for Beecher's. I didn't have time to stand in the line so I skipped it during March 25 visit. My daughter tried and mentioned how good mac was. Yay. fast forward to this recent visit to Bellevue Square and what a bonus & treat! Beecher's was here at the mall, but the junk part is I was full from snacking at the other mall and we are having a late dinner in about 11/2 hours. I want to try everything which I couldn't, I went for the mac & cheese that everyone raves about, but I couldn't do the grilled sandwiches, this will have to wait til next trip. The mac & cheese is available in classic, meat ball & salmon and comes in 2 sizes , 8 oz and 16 oz. I wanted to try the meat ball but they were sold out. I got the salmon, happy dance before I took my first bite & the verdict: That was some good mac & cheese, this is what I call mac & cheese. I can't compare other mac & cheese to this. Its my first time trying mac & cheese with salmon and it was actually unique and so good, loved the flavors, the hint of lime, dill, cheese, penne pasta, smoky salmon, & sauce. Tip., there's no bread crumbs on mac & cheese but ask for the fresh croutons to add to your mac & cheese. **Remember stop by here instead of dealing with the lines at Pike's Place. This is the best impromptu, unplanned visit ever! read more

I am usually not a fan of mac and cheese. But I love beecher's mac and cheese because the cheese they use isn't cheddar. I'm not exactly sure what type of cheese they use but it's super creamy and a little textured. I highly recommend the salmon mac and cheese! It makes me so happy when I eat it while it's hot. This beechers is located in the bellevue mall and there is some seating outside it read more

Located in the mall in Bellevue, and many other locations even the Seattle airport, somewhat a staple for the Seattle area. They offer a variety of cheeses, my favorite being the aged cheddar. Their sandwiches are very yummy to. I like the Smoked Turkey & Cheese sandwich. My son likes their Mac & Cheese and my wife liked the Tuna Melt. This location was very busy the day I visited it, granted it is located in side the Mall. They have a variety of sandwich options along some soups and salad options. They even serve coffee. read more

Not sure if this is the correct location, but my first time in Washington and I stumbled upon this place at the airport. I ordered a cheese and turkey sandwich/panini. I was not expecting it to be so good, the cheese was one of the best I've ever had! It seems the sandwiches are prepared ahead of time then put on the press. Wish we had one in California, it was amazing!! read more

Stopped by Beecher's while visiting Seattle because I've always heard about their mac and cheese. I ordered the classic mac with meatballs on the side. The portion was solid and the meatballs were tasty, but I felt like the mac and cheese itself was a little underwhelming. It was creamy but lacked some of the flavor I was expecting given all the hype. Still, it's worth trying if you want to check it off your Seattle food list. read more

Stop by after I got a little hungry from walking around the mall. I ordered their world famous Mac and cheese and it was pretty delcious. Nice warm and gooey cheese. I enjoyed the pasta instead of the traditional. Pricey for a small bowl about $9, but it was worth it. They didn't have any soda only sparkling water and coconut water. read more

Why have I never heard of this? Or maybe I did but it went over my head. Anyway it is never too late to try the cheese at Beecher's. I really wanted to try the Mac and cheese, tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. Unfortunately I was not hungry when I was there and so I could only see others eat those items. Maybe next time when I am in Bellevue again. I did get their cheese though. I like how they have samples out there. I love the Flagship cheese. It is a bit nutty, sweet and savory all at once. It is also a bit crumbly when I cut into it. The nuttiness reminds me a little of Comte which is my all time favorite cheese from France. I googled more about the Flagship cheese and discovered you could also add it to Mac and cheese. So I did that. Added a bit of the cheese into a creamy sausage pasta I was making. It really elevated the dish. Superb! I wish I bought more of it now. Next time. read more

Fantastic cheese all around from the signature mac and cheese to grilled cheeses. Staff here in the mall are pretty friendly and make the effort. My mac was packed to the top so I did appreciate that, even when the cup was full they tried adding a little more on top before sealing. World's Best Mac and Cheese - super cheesy, I love their classic cheese which is some type of cheddar. Using penne as the pasta is an interesting take as macaroni usually refers to the type of pasta. I liked it though and it reminds me of chicken alfredo, without the chicken obviously. Flagship Grilled Sandwich - an all around classic pressed freshly in front of you, the cheese pull with gooey cheese are amazing. You don't only taste the cheese though as the tomato and basil mesh together and have strong flavors that release with each bite. Ingredients are very pure. However, it's whole wheat bread instead of a classic like sourdough. This means the taste won't be as refined altogether, but I do think sandwiches here are a strong balance of taste and "healthiness," to an extent. read more

Exactly what I want when I want grilled cheese! (Except when I want the wonderbread+Kraft singles version, which I'm sure others will insist doesn't count as a grilled cheese.) Their cheese is tangy and stretchy and salty and flavorful. Their bread is textured and crunchy and soft. It is all delicious. It's also not that expensive, with the grilled cheeses varying from $10-$13. I'll be back next time I have a cheese craving at the mall for sure. read more

Mac and cheese tasted great but watery. The grilled cheese was salty and not a lot of cheese. Where is the gooey goodness?

$18 for a small grilled cheese sandwich & iced tea? Seriously? It wasn't even fully toasted. Not worth a repeat, no matter how conveniently located in the center of the mall. read more

The turkey grilled cheese was really flavorful. The tomato soup was very bland no crackers. Got to eat it with croutons. The service was so slow like we have to wait 25 minutes for a grilled cheese. Got one employee working the grill. She's got 30 tickets all laid out. They just keep taking orders. Just keep burying it piling more dirt on the hole that they've already dug instead of like holding up. Put people over there to help her read more

I love Beecher's, their cheese and the mac cheese. Visiting this location of Beecher's was happy to see more options, we got the Mariachi Mac & Cheese, and Tuna Melt.

Whenever I see a Beecher's, it's the Kimchi grilled cheese for me. It is that delicious. The bread is perfect - a sourdough bread - and crunchy. Lots of Jack cheese which is melted to perfection. And kimchi. The kimchi could be more though. A simple grilled cheese but elevated with Beecher's handmade cheese and kimchi. So yummy. The location is in the Bellevue mall and it was the perfect lunch after a whole day of shopping. read more

The food came very fast and was veryyyyy good! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Defiantly coming back!

After many many times of passing by Beecher's Handmade Cheese at Pike Place Market and Bellevue Square and never going even though I think to myself "wow it smells really nice; I should get something to eat there", I finally decided to drop by and try some of their famous cheese dishes. It did not disappoint. Here's what I tried: Mariachi Mac & Cheese - a good blend of cheesy, creamy, spicy. I also liked the veggies that were in this one (tiny slices of green/red bell peppers and corn). Another thing to note is that I was very impressed by how much mac and cheese they fit into an eight ounce container. I remember thinking they overdid it, and the lid was not going to fit over the container haha. I definitely felt like I got my money's worth here. Chicken sausage, egg, and cheese - any sort of breakfast sandwich with chipotle sauce is always a win in my opinion. It was also VERY satisfying to split this sandwich open and watch the gooey cheese action unfold. If there's a cheese equivalent of #yolkPorn, this is it. I'll just mention that it does take them a while to toast their sandwiches, but I honestly feel like it's worth it. TL;DR I think it mostly lives up to the hype, and I would definitely come back. I think I'll try their classic mac and cheese next time (or maybe their breadzel) as well as get the chicken sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich again. read more

A great stop for a quick bite on level 1 of Bell Square- if you don't mind eating in front of the shoppers. It took 7 minutes for the Flagship Sandwich to toast: melted Flagship cheese and tomatoes. Could have been better tomatoes but it hit the spot nevertheless. $10.59. Enjoy! read more

Finally I got to try the famous beechers cheese. Tried their flagship tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich with tomato and basil . The cheese itself was melty, gooey and had a nice nutty flavor. We also tried the tomato soup with the flagship cheese and it went well with sandwiches. You can also buy cheese at the location but I noticed you can buy it cheaper in Traders joes . The food itself was good and the service was fast - it's a a great place to have a quick bite! Want to try their Mac and cheese next ! read more

Beecher's has become a regular stop for us anytime we are in Seattle... And for very good reason! They continue to have what is probably the best mac & cheese we have ever had, as well as excellent grilled cheese sandwiches & soups. We usually go to their location either at SeaTac airport or in Pike Place Market, but this time we were in Bellevue and decided to hit up the location inside the mall. It was larger than we expected, and in the later afternoon we didn't have to wait in line at all. Food quality was consistent with the other locations. Delicious as always and love having this as an option in the greater Seattle area. read more

There are several spots where they have long lines out the door around Pike Place Market. Beecher's is one of them. Luckily for us, they have more than one location. One of them is in Bellevue, inside a shopping mall called Bellevue Square. This location is not in such high demand, so it is much easier to get their offerings. We got their grilled sandwiches, along with their partner in delicious crime, tomato soup. If you get the Tomato Flagship Soup with sandwich, you get $1 off! The staff asked if I wanted cheese and crouton, and I said yes. He put a generous amount of each into a different cup, so that I get a full amount of soup with a nice amount of cheese and croutons. Thanks! The soup was nice and hot, so the cheese started to melt over the fiery red soup... And it was sooooo good! We had Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Flagship Sandwich. The cheese was so gooey and so melty and oh-so-amazing! Flagship didn't really have much basil, but still very tasty. If you don't want to wait in a line for a long time, head over to Bellevue. You can get the same sandwiches here, and at the same time, you can do some shopping while you are at it. read more

This was our first time at Beecher's and Chris made it a whole experience! We went with the classics, Mac and cheese, grilled cheese sandwich, and tomato soup. The Mac and cheese was love at first taste! unctuous, but not so heavy I want to pass out. The penne was cooked well and the cheese sauce was unbelievably good. The grilled cheese sported the same flagship cheese and a great crusty bread that gave just the right amount so it didn't cut the roof of my mouth. The cheese pull was alright but the buttery cheesy crunch made everything alright! Next the companion of the grilled cheese that stood all on its own was the tomato soup. Flavorful and delicious, it was really hard to share with my wife. I kept dipping the grilled cheese in. Truth be told, I started dipping everything I could find in, including the Mac n cheese. We had an awesome first experience at Beecher's and it was all thanks to Chris! read more

It just amazes me that whatever you choose to do in life, you do it well and you do it with all your heart and in result, you somehow dominate in the handcrafted cheese market. I don't think most of us think about paying for a grilled cheese sandwich, but I once saw my friend ordered one here and was drooling looking at it. You get a very high quality bread and of course their famous cheese in it. Ironically, I just happened to order one on #nationalgrilledcheeseday. I swear, there's a holiday for everything now. It's a nice option for a light and quick bite if you're doing retail therapy here in Bellevue Square since most of the food options are sit down restaurants. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

Go on Mondays and Tuesdays for the best store manager, Chris. We told him it was our first time at Beecher's and he gave us a rundown of what to get. Flagship Cheesesticks: it's their signature cheese and overall satisfying. We got two to try out. Tomato Soup: it's the classic, gotta try it Mariachi Mac and Cheese: it's not as creamy as the classic but has vegetables and is great for a "fresh" Mac and cheese. If you want a little kick, get this Classic Mac and Cheese: The creaminess alone will make you buy the cheese by the pound. The noodles aren't elbow noodles, but are penne (they're tube at least, idk pasta shapes). This holds the cheese a lot better. Tuna Sandwich: Tuna salad is made fresh every week with pickled vegetables. Chris personally recommended this. Smoked Turkey Sandwich: Most popular. Honestly, can't go wrong with any sandwich. Grilled Cheese: We ended up going with the regular grilled cheese to match with the tomato soup. Okay, I have now eaten. The tomato soup is literally the best temperature (warm and cozy like a fireplace on a winter day, but didn't burn our tongues) We put the cheese on top and put the lid on to let the cheese melt. We left the croutons out because we didn't want them soggy. The tomato soup was also a little chunky which was just phenomenal. I ate the tomato soup throughout the whole meal. The grilled cheese was amazing. They made it fresh (took about 7 minutes) and the crust was just crunchy enough but didn't cut my mouth. It tasted so good with the tomato soup, a classic combo. The Mac and cheese was also creamy and the noodles were al dente, but honestly if I chose between the Mac and cheese and the sandwich, I'd probably order another sandwich. Still good, but the sandwich had everything I wanted and more! We can't wait to come back in the future to try out all the different sandwiches read more

Not too bad. I do think the prices are a bit high for the quality and portion of the food you get. Conveniently located in the mall aka easy parking compared to the Pike Place location. The day I went they were out of the mariachi mac n cheese so I opted for the tomato soup and grilled cheese. The soup came out first with the sandwich taking approx 10 minutes to come out afterward. I actually preferred the tomato soup which is on the lighter side, the extra croutons were delicious in it. Would recommend. The grilled cheese itself was good but nothing you couldn't make at home? The bread is very thick. My total was $14 for the grilled cheese and tomato soup which I found was not a good value. read more

Average mall food, tables nearby for self seating and go. Nothing inherently bad, usually busy.

Comfort food at its finest that is simple and good! We ran some errands last night at the mall and were able to pickup a quick bite for dinner around 8:30pm which was perfect since everything else closes by then. The girl at the cashier was friendly and welcoming. We got the classic mac and cheese for our toddler which she loved by the way and the chicken sandwich with argula, peppers and cheese which had the perfect balance of flavors and reminded me of home. The sandwich did take forever to come out but the mac and cheese was ready to go and already put into containers and kept in a warming oven. The menu is minimal with just a few other options like the grilled cheese, tomato soup and egg and ham sandwich options but as they say less is more and the quality really speaks for itself. Its nice to have a piece of Pike Place so nearby. They also have an assortment of different cheeses to take home, as well as snack cheeses for kids which is great along with some other snacks and to go options in their fridge section. Love their flagship cheese which can also be found at many grocery stores in the area and perfect for snacking or cooking. I also love that they are connected with Cafe Vita which serves delicous coffee! Do yourself a favor and get yourself a latte or any drink from here and you will be pleasently surprised by the quality and you can actually taste the coffee. They have their own seperate line for the espresso which makes it convienent instead of waiting in the regular line. Location is also central to the mall so you can always pick something up easily. read more

If you're a fan of Beecher's at Pike Place Market or at the airport, here's another location to serve you their famous Mac 'n Cheese. You don't get to watch a giant pot of cheese being stirred inside Bellevue Square (though I think because of COVID, they're not doing that at PPM either). But you can buy individually sealed cheese products and you can order hot foods such as the mac 'n cheese. Don't let the 8oz size fool you, it's small but mighty. Rich and velvety, it's a creamy blend of their Flagship, Just Jack cheeses mixed with spices and penne pasta. It's easily the most popular item on their menu. At this location, I also like to order their coffee. It's really smooth and yummy. Much better than the "S" upstairs. read more

Went here to pick up some of their delicious cheese and crackers. It's located inside the Bellevue Square mall on first floor. I must say the crew seemed so defeated and tired. It was around 6pm when I got there so I'm not sure if it was the end of their day or what. Anyways the cheese is really good! The flagship cheese is what I'm referring to. I also ordered the chicken mama lils & arugula sandwich. It was on point! Melted cheese wrapped in arugula & chicken tasted amazing. read more

Good yummy food, but their sandwiches take forever! And a bit overpriced for what it is imo

After working in Bellevue on and off for almost two decades and seeing their place in the mall a lot of times but never trying them, I finally tried them yesterday. I used to go to McDonald's(now closed) at Bellevue Sq or Panda Express both for meat, but I decided I wanted mac & cheese. Their macaroni wasn't macaroni. It was more like large penne. The cheese wasn't great since it was soft like velveeta. The sell a lot of really good cheeses, but they don't use them on their mac & cheese. It was $10 with tip for an 8 oz disappointment. My friend had their new sausage mac & cheese. I had a piece of the sausage, and their sausage was pretty bland and the casing pretty tought. read more

Decided to try the lasagna, it wasn't anything special except maybe with more Italian herbs and seasoning than normal lasagna. I feel like the cheese didn't really make a difference and was just mediocre. So it was good since I was hungry but nothing special. read more
