If this wasn't a match made in heaven and the best customer service experience, I don't know what is. The shop is small but filled to the brim with so many fun food items. Cheese, butter, spreads, crackers and pasta - the list goes on and I truly could have stayed for hours. The staff were extremely helpful, following you throughout the store and making suggestions on what you should try. The free samples were abundant and definitely helped my cheese purchasing decision, selling me on 3 different kinds! If you're a cheese lover, this is heaven on earth for you. I've visited quite a few cheese stores and none have felt as comforting and welcoming as this gem in Cape May. Between the stock and amazing customer service, you can't go wrong stopping in here!

Do you love Peanut Butter? Well, then you've got to try Cape May Peanut Butter Company. Located…read moreright in the center of town with all the shops is this incredible peanut oasis with all sorts of different flavored peanut butters, (That you can taste), along with so many other incredible goodies like cookies and scones, peanut butter treats, sandwiches, candies, all sorts of flavored nuts, oils, spices, jams and jellies and so much more. Amy was helping us make our selections and she was super helpful and fun! I wound up with some Sour Cherry Jelly & Thai Peanut Sauce/Dip. My husband is the peanut butter maven and he took home 2 of his favorite 32 oz jars of honey roasted peanut butter. They won't last too long for sure. They have another location in Smithville and you can also order via their website. And if you go this time of year, you can beat the crowds and enjoy the story even more! The store is filled with so many amazing creations. I can't wait to go back again soon.

The very best ever! I love this place and miss visiting so I just had to order a couple of my…read morefavorites. I had no idea that their nationwide shipping service would be so fantastic. They send flat rate by the amount of your order and tell you that it should take approximately 9 days total to arrive. Mine came in 5 and I'm in Florida! I ordered my Butterscotch peanut butter, capucino too. If you are a nut butter fanatic you must try their nut butters. The butterscotch may sound a bit off but I reassure you it's not too sweet at all and not entirely smooth. There is texture in these butters and you can tell that they have not been sitting around for too long and you will know when you look on the bottom of the jar it tells you when it was made! I promise you cannot go wrong. I ordered a few peanut butter cups as well and everything went fabulous! Considering I had 6 jars and 6 peanut butter cups each item was packaged perfectly and delivered on time and wrapped with such care I'm very pleased. If you are in the area the store is fun too! If not don't be afraid to order and they have so much not only peanut butter you must explore their options! Pickles, peanuts, treats from the bakery, spices, oils, dog treats, and so much more! If you go there is ice cream too !!!! Yummmmm!

We purchased a few packs of sticky finger scones. they were easy to bake and good. We were there during the pandemic and noticed that they sanitized the pens for credit card signing. After using the sanitized pens, you put them in the used pile. They also had a giant bottle of hand sanitizer in the front of the store. What they could do better though, is to limit the number of people going into the store. There isn't a lot of space to spread out in the store. When we went in June, we were the only ones inside but then we went back in August, and it was too crowded for my comfort.

Bottom Line: Coffee, gourmet foods, and kitchen gadgets…read more This store has a great name and super cute logo. The delicious smell of coffee wafting out the front door makes it easy to drift in and take a gander. Inside there are tons of gourmet food items and various kitchen gadgets, tea towels, and such. I have a well stocked kitchen so I didn't add anything to my collection but I did check out some local products like Cape May Honey and a Beach Plum Vinaigrette or salad dressing. In hindsight I wish had asked about the Beach Plum dressing because I think it might have been a fun add to my pantry. Love the Cook is home to Cape May Roasters so you can also buy coffee here. You can get a fresh cup or a bag of whole beans or ground coffee to go. For those who prefer tea they carry an assortment of Republic of Tea teas which are great quality. Nice quality stuff and worth a gander. I would definitely visit again and perhaps try the coffee next time.

My wife and I entered, trying a few olive oils on our own. When we got to the balsamic vinegars, we needed assistance for our samples. The staff were incredibly helpful and suggested a few that I might like. When we tried the smoke though, I was amazed by the flavor. I didn't know what to do with it, but I wanted to buy it. (I've since used it in a cocktail, but still haven't cooked with it...). We bought a few items and spoke to the staff about our town. The cashier used to live near us, but when you're at a beach town, you always see transplants. Really decent products with interesting flavors. Can't go wrong here.

There is just an impressive collection of chocolates from around the world in this tiny, little shop. Its enjoyable to spend some time browsing the beautiful looking bars and treats. I always wind up buying a few to try something different, something funky.. the funkiest is usually suggested by the lady behind the counter. This time she got me to try a "dry aged beef" chocolate bar and I found it interesting that the brand was Naive, which made me wonder if that's what I was being buying this. (haha.. actually this bar is savory and would probably go great with a full bodied red wine).

That said, the portion sizes were surprisingly small, which was a bit disappointing given how tasty everything was. Service was excellent throughout -- friendly and attentive. Overall, I'd recommend Andrea Trattoria for the quality and service, but I do wish the portion sizes were more generous.
