Truffle pressed fromage

Today, I was so delighted to have lunch with my husband at Bloomy Rind and to be personally catered to by Mary. I selected the Truffle Pressed Fromage and my husband chose the Housemade Roast Beef and we splurged and ordered a side of the delectable Kale Salad. Let me just tell you, that the truffle pressed fromage with ham was a whole world better than the Croque Monsieur that I just had on a trip to Paris, that my daughter treated me to,at a high end restaurant. I am so impressed with Mary's culinary skills and she is a very sweet person as well!

They won a lot of awards!

I cannot believe I just tried this place. It's not super close to home but it's well worth the drive. The Mediterranean sandwich is blow ya balls off good! Wife had the Cubano and boom! it blew her tils off! Nice lady (assuming she owned it) running the counter knew her customers by their first name and welcomed me in like I had been there a million times. Guy making my sandwich was a good shlt too 10/10 will be back soon.

I can't get over the tenderness of the roast pork in their perfectly pressed Cubano. It's brined hind tender. Designed and defined tender. Bloomy Rind tender. My hosts raved about the cheese shop that did sandwiches, which, with few exceptions (ahem, Dave's Fresh), tend to offer paninis out of necessity. End result? A shop that runs the risk of second-rate offerings, slapping a slab a hearty hunk of Manchego on whatever and calling it a day. But not here, friends - not at the Rind. While spots in the prepared foods counter seem a bit anemic, the cheese display is stacked and piled with monger-approved dairy. With a pregnant woman in our midst, they knew instantly which quesos came pasteurized for universal snackability, and with a few additional questions on preference, suggested a few definite winners. Back to the Cubano ($8) though, shall we? If you know anything about me, it's that I can set a clock on any device, first try. It's a gift. For the sake of learning something new, I'm also a huge Cuban sandwich fan, thus turning a nose up on most of the deviations to the world's most perfect sandwich. Here's where Bloomy Rind strayed from the formula: - Roast post in torn chunks - Pickles in spears - Gruyere, not Swiss - Sliced artisan boulé instead of a Cuban loaf Here's where I had beef with the changes: - Yeah, blank. It was tremendous - mostly because of the high-quality foodstuffs, but also due to the crusty peaks and valleys of a meticulous press from pro-grade equipment. Low heat and heavy weight means an airy, crunchy grill you'll have to wait for, but hoo doggy is it worth it. They have jams and spreads on shelves with crackers and crisps. There's a community table for those dining in, containers of nuts and books on curding - even kits for the at-home, wannabe cheese makers (at $20, it's a perfect gift for any cheese lover, which is pretty much everyone). The space is small, but with food like this and a winning staff of amicable experts, they'll be knocking down walls in no time. A definite winner.

We have yet to be disappointed. Helpful staff, delicious sandwiches and small town/homey feel.

Meh, nothing I haven't seen at whole foods. Was waiting for the wow factor. Speaking of waiting service is to slow.

If you don't get the carrot hummus you're doing it wrong. Basically everything you get here is gold.

Their knowledgeable and friendly staff are always helpful with pairing ideas (I need help!). My holiday shopping list will get plenty of attention at this sweet neighborhood gem!

The atmosphere felt chaotic and poorly organized from the moment we arrived. In addition, several vendors and offerings promised in the event marketing were nowhere to be found. For a ticketed "grand tasting," the cheese selection was surprisingly basic, focusing on standard fare like basic cheddar and colby jack rather than unique, artisanal varieties. The pairings were scattered randomly around the store like an unintended scavenger hunt, and the drink tastings felt rushed and performative amidst the surrounding disorganization. The service only made matters worse. The store's staff appeared visibly stressed and uncoordinated; while waiting in line to use the restroom after our long drive, two separate team members approached to scold us for being inside the store early. To make matters more uncomfortable, we overheard the owner nearly reprimand an employee before stopping herself when she noticed customers were nearby. Basic inquiries were met with subtle side-eye and dismissive energy, making us feel unwelcome throughout the visit. A feeling further compounded as people of color in an environment where we felt distinctly out of place. We left very hungry and thoroughly disappointed after paying for a ticketed experience. We won't be returning.

My mom and I had grabbed lunch to go from the Concord Cheese Shop when we visited Concord for a day…read morea week or so ago, and I adored it. The shop sells cheese (and they let you have samples), wine, and imported foods, but it also a full deli that serves sandwiches, salads, prepared food, and more. My mom is vegan but was able to make a very good vegan sandwich (hummus and lots of veggies), while I really really really really loved their French Picnic sandwich (French ham, brie, apples, and honey mustard on baguette). It was the best brie (and soooo much brie) that I've ever had and just a perfect sandwich. There was a little wait to order - it's a popular spot - but once our sandwiches were in a brown paper sack in our hands, we drove over to Walden Pond and enjoyed them there. What could be a more perfect lunch on a first visit to Concord than a great sandwich from the Concord Cheese Shop enjoyed looking out at Walden Pond?! I'd return for that sandwich - and next time I'm tasting cheeses, too!

Perhaps it was just the day as the street sale was happening and the store was extra busy but I got attitude when I asked about a certain type of sandwich and came close to making a retort that would have been embarrassing for me and the other person involved. I ordered and waited for my food, paid then I left. Sorry to say that I was dismayed but there it is. It was quite busy on the day and it seemed that crowd management could have been handled better. Perhaps when the store has its remodel the traffic flow can be improved upon. I've always enjoyed shopping here and would like that to continue..
