They even hooked us up with some baguettes since they were closing, and they baked the bread fresh every day. Win-win!!

We drove all the way from the South Shore for one of the "Grand Tasting" events at Life Love…read moreCheese, but unfortunately, the trip was a complete letdown. 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.

The samples of the cheese are the best part! Prices are comparable to the Beverly Whole Foods, my next favorite cheese destination, however the staff here are 10 times as knowledgeable and kind, and the selection is much better. I asked about a cheese similar to my favorite, Cyprus Grove's Midnight Moon. They didn't have it in stock, but the one that I wound up buying (also the first that was recommended to me) I think I like even more! Yes, they have an excellent wine section that even includes nonalcoholic options, but I'll be easily drunk off cheese in the best way possible.

Drew was our incredible cheese monger and his knowledge is really valuable. We shared what we like and we sampled several cheeses and settled on 4 that we absolutely could not leave without.

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..

Labeled "Asiago Vintage" it shaved up perfectly for the pasta meal that I prepared. Delicious tasting and yummy with a rich nutty flavor.

If I get to Foxboro, I'll be heading to the Lawton's Family Farm to experience Foxboro Cheese company directly.
