You can…read moreorder charcuterie boards but they also have a full menu of sandwiches, salads etc. I came in with a group and there was plenty of seating. The ambiance is very cute as well. We all got the lunch special which is a half sandwich with either salad or soup for $13.50. I got the blue cow grilled cheese and tomato soup. What a delicious sandwich! It had roast beef, a jam, pepper relish, havarti and blue cheese. It was really tasty and just the right amount of blue cheese to be tasty and not overwhelming. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal though I will say the person who got the brie, fig jam and prosciutto one was especially happy!

Stopped in today to order a charcuterie board for a wine tasting at my house in a couple of nights…read more I had heard about mingle and graze and sampled a number of their amazing cheeses when I was at wine tastings at Spin The Bottle right around the corner. This is a husband and wife team that manage and own both places. While standing at the counter, deciding what charcuterie board I was going to order I took a quick look at their menu and boy does it look good. Hummus boards, salads, and sandwiches. All freshly made in this little café, which is small but charming there is an outdoor patio with like four tables , but it's far too hot this summer to eat out there. For sure I'll be back in the fall out there with Luna enjoying this wonderful café. I was there with my daughter and what caught her eye was the muffaletta sandwich. A classic I couldn't get past the menu, grilled cheese sandwich, options, and asked the owner what was her favorite and recommendation. She immediately said the grilled cheese with birria and I think a Gouda cheese. We grabbed one of the booths and the sandwiches were out shortly. OMG, they both were unbelievable, but I had trouble keeping my daughter's hand off my plate. Honestly, this is one of the best grilled cheese I've ever had. And I consider myself a grilled cheese aficionado. Mingle & Graze is in a central downtown Chandler location, lots of parking out front. Love these little non-chain cafés with great homemade food that's different and original. I highly recommend you check out this place and when the weather is a bit nicer, order some food and sit out on the patio with a nice bottle of wine curated from Spin The Bottle. What a great spot

I think the prices went up a bit but understandably. Then menu is still the same and they worked with the former owners to stay true to the original sandwiches. They added one to the menu. I had a meatball sandwich. I liked it. Overall place is upgraded. Seems nice. Oh yeah the retro neon sign is back on and they have an outside back patio and some tables outside the front of the store.

I booked a bread + cheese pairing at Shea Cheese for my Mom & I after reading about their events…read moreonline (thanks Reddit). The event was a visit to Proof Bakery to see how the dough is *literally* made before heading back to Shea Cheese for the tasting. It was also BYOB. Overall, we had a great time. The space was cute and intimate, and the tasting was plentiful. They did open up the shop after the event too, so we were able to buy some deli meats and a bottle of natty wine. Their food menu looked soooo yummy, I look forward to coming back for lunch and for another event. Shea Cheese is a small business, owned by a couple who ensured that the experience was awesome. I definitely recommend stopping by and checking out their cookbook collection too. My only critique for the tasting was that they included a pimento cheese, which they make, that has mayo in it. I personally would've preferred they added one of their more unique options instead as neither my mom or I ate that part of the board (mostly due to the mayo).

Wow! I had the Turkey with mustard Gouda and fig jam. It's a flavor and texture explosion that was unmatched. I know that's a lot for a sandwich but it really was. Spicy mustard, combining with sweet fig jam and cold cucumbers with turkey and Gouda cheese. My wife has the apple/bacon/brie melt, it was fantastic as well You order at the cheese shop then head to the suite next door called the Shea Lounge, a kitschy little wifi cafe with free kcup coffee, filtered water, free WiFi and comfy atmosphere.

They've got everything from barbecuing essentials and specialty seasonings to bold hot sauces and even a cold beer to enjoy while you shop. And then you make your way to that beautiful deli counter. That's when you truly appreciate the value of a real butcher. The quality, expertise, and personal service, it's a completely different experience compared to your typical grocery store. They also have 'cuts' of bone for your furry friends. We grabbed a bone for our dog and can't wait for him to enjoy it! Von Hanson's isn't just a deli... it's a place for anyone (new to grilling or professionals) who wants to enjoy quality meat and find whatever they need to cook it!

They offer products from local business Happy Tails- pup cakes and treats. The staff is friendly and the place is clean and their products look presentable and fresh. I highly recommend if you want to incorporate these types of products to your fur pet's diet.

I decided to look online to see who could make a charcuterie board for me. And lucky for me XOXO Charcuterie came up in my search. I went to the website and saw the most adorable charcuterie boats...single portions!! OMG! That was perfect. People came in, grabbed a "boat", a drink and found a seat and settled down to listen to our speaker. But, back to the "boats". It was super easy to order them online. A quick text to check the date with Masha and after she gave me the go ahead, I just ordered them on her website. The best part? They delivered them at precisely the time she said they would! And, not only were they charming to look at, but they were delicious. Everyone loved them. They looked exactly like they looked on the website. I would highly recommend using XOXO CHARCUTERIE and I'm looking forward to contacting XOXO for our next event.

So instead of preparing this year's charcuterie board myself, I splurged and had XOXO create a masterpiece instead... and it was a hit! The ordering on the website was easy enough and after some texting back and forth, I had clear direction on the pick-up time too. It was ready upon arrival and it was beautiful and extremely tasty. The board and all of the ingredients were high quality. Our guests were pleased and so was I! I ate leftovers for days after the holiday too as there was plenty of meats, cheeses, honey, fresh fruit, dry fruit, nuts and more... The board was indeed a masterpiece and it came with great little serving utensils as well. I highly recommend XOXO and look forward to using them again in the future!

We LOVED our dinner at DeFalco's so much we returned the next day... and the next!…read more For dinner on our first visit, we ordered the Chicago beef sandwich and spaghetti with meatballs. I highly recommend trying both, especially if you've never had a Chicago beef. The juicy beef paired with giardiniera is super savory. Damn! I'm craving it again. For lunch on our second visit, we ordered the Chief Beef special and a margherita pizza. This was, by far, the BEST margherita pizza ever! I think I've said that in another review... but for reals this time! The pizza was perfectly crispy on the bottom with just the right amount of basil to top off each bite. For dinner on our third visit, we ordered the clam linguine and an Italian beef sandwich. My husband says this clam linguine was better than the other versions he's eaten at Little Italy. The Italian sandwich was good, but not as savory as the Chicago beef. Can't wait to eat here, again, the next time we visit the Padres during spring training.

From the moment we walked in, the cook herself greeted us with the kind of warm, genuine smile that makes you forget you're in a public space. By the end of the evening she had invited us to her actual home for cooking lessons--like we'd known her for years instead of minutes. That kind of unscripted hospitality is rarer than a perfect risotto. And the food? Pure deliciousness that matches the heart. Every bite sang with bright, honest Italian flavors--nothing fussy, nothing fake, just layers of garlic, herbs, tomatoes, and cheese that taste like they came straight from someone's nonna's Sunday table. The dishes were so full of soul you could almost hear the wooden spoon scraping the bottom of the pot. It's a small, unassuming spot that somehow manages to feel both intimate and alive. You leave not just full, but genuinely happy, already daydreaming about that next visit (and those promised cooking lessons). If you want Italian food that tastes like love served on a plate, stop searching. You've found it. Five radiant stars. Go. Bring friends. Learn to cook. Repeat.

We got our usual list and walked feet out the door to get into our truck, i opened the carton of eggs and one of them was cracked, no big deal.

I was greeted with the older woman (with glasses) at the front immediately upset and passive aggressive stating "well i hope you know i checked them and it was not cracked so be more careful"(in a clearly condescending tone), i respond with "im sorry? i just walked out and right back in and it was cracked?" she then says "yeah well no it wasn't so be more careful this time thanks", i then leave. I really hope whoever manages this market to ensure she does not speak to another customer they way she did to me today. We will no longer be visiting, there are plenty of farmers markets.
