    Have stopped in once so far and a very good experience. They have some cheeses ready for samples but they will also let you sample other items from the fridge. I'm sure they could tell we wanted to buy. We got three different cheeses and they can cut exactly how much you want vs the stores with the prepackaged amounts. They have other items to go with your cheese like crackers and salami. They also have an option to preorder a nice looking platter mixing cheese and the other items for taking to an event. For those of us that don't know how to set up that perfect spread but don't want to bring the Safeway plastic platter of basic cheese. Very nice staff so stop in and support our local store. We felt for the cheeses we bought they were very reasonably priced.

    Delicious array of cheeses available here. The staff are very knowledgeable about the different types and flavors. Feel free to have a plate at the tables or take some to go.

    A brand new cheese shop has opened up in Portland. The owners are super nice. As soon as you walk in they offer you a sample of a cheese. Very effective way to sell cheese! Cheese is one of those things that you either buy what you like or you have to try it to find something that you like. We tried the cheese they were sampling and liked it enough to take some home. They offer cheese boards with about 14 cheeses you can pick from. You select what kind of bread or crackers you want, olives or almonds, and what kind of jam or honey. 1 cheese is $8, 5 cheeses is $15. Seems fair. You can add some meat for $4. I just had the owner pick the cheese based on my criteria and it worked out well. The $15 cheese platter is enough for 2 people honestly. The store is limited in size so while they may not have 100 different cheeses to choose from they have a good selection to choose from.

    Caseus Diem is Portland's new hidden gem, but I worry they are too hidden! Everyone needs to go check out this awesome experience on division. The cheese mongers are incredibly knowledgeable and super kind. The small space is cozy and abundant with delicious flavors. You can sample three cheeses, a jam and olives/almonds for $12. There's a plethora of options to build your own charcuterie board or just enjoy a great snack. Take the recommendations from the cool staff and try lots of samples. They have fun and funky flavors as well as classics you will love. I look forward to taking loved ones here and building charcuterie boards around the holiday season.

    Went a few weeks ago staff are incredibly sweet and friendly, allowing me to ask way too many questions & sample. Cute seating This place has a terrible smell, im sure that's common in a cheese shop but it was werid, there's gotta be some sort of way to prevent it. It smelled like a barn. Food was way over priced I paid 24$ for all of this, but the rosemary crackers and jam... was delicious.

    Beyond beautiful cuts of meat!…read more The people that work there are friendly and helpful. Beyond the butcher shop, they have a restaurant with a menu that is absolutely delicious. You know you are getting great cuts of meat in your dish as you walk past the showcased cuts prior to being seated. YUM!

    My husband is always craving a steak for his birthday and I've heard never-ending, amazing things…read moreabout Laurelhurst Market, so we made a reservation to celebrate. We got seated right away, the hostess was friendly and mentioned the birthday listed on the reservation. To start, we ordered two cocktails, the beef tartare, and the shishitos peppers. The beef tartare was incredibly fresh and flavorful and the mustard vinaigrette was the perfect touch. The blistered shishitos were good, however, they were underwhelming compared to everything else and we probably wouldn't order them again. For our entree, we shared the Brandt Ranch Ribeye which was phenomenal - definitely one of our top 5 steaks we've ever had. We prefer medium rare and it was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of crème fraiche to not overpower the flavor of the steak. Plus, the bacon vinaigrette went very well with the entire meal. We were incredibly impressed with the meal and the atmosphere, and we'd join again for sure. The area in which our experience lacked was the service, which was disappointing and didn't make us feel great ordering anything else. After we got our appetizers, and then entree, we were not checked on once and I had to wave down our server for another round of drinks. At the same time, he was supposed to get us a water refill which we never ended up getting. Our server didn't mention anything in regards to a birthday, never asked how our cocktails or food was, checked on every table around us (besides us) and we didn't even get a thank you as we passed him heading out the door. Because I've consistently heard amazing things about Laurelhurst, I'll take this as a fluke because I definitely believe in second chances, especially when the food was that good, but I hope the next server we get is more attentive and friendly. Neither of us would expect a birthday beverage or dessert, but after dining at several places where they offer a glass of champagne, a small dessert, etc. it definitely stands out when an establishment like this doesn't offer or acknowledge a celebration. Till next time - Cheers

    Great service and delicious food! Visited while in Oregon with my sister, who recommended this…read moreplace, and we even had the chance to chat with the owner, which made the experience even better. They're open on Mondays, which is rare since many restaurants are closed, so it was nice to try it before leaving. My sister ordered the spaghetti and cheese with two large meatballs, garlic bread, and the Chicago beef with Italian sausage, and both were great. The meatballs were especially delicious. I just wish more were included, though extras are available to order. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan sandwich which was very cheesey and flavorful. Afterward, we noticed you can add pepperoni and make it a "Chicken Parmeroni," which sounds like a better option. The large antipasta salad with balsamic vinegar was fresh and tasty, and it's nice that you can choose your dressing . I really love the antipasta salad! Overall, a really enjoyable meal and definitely worth recommending! Wish there had been time to try more of the menu.

    Let me start by saying I didn't take pictures. For anyone who reads my reviews, that's a big part…read moreof them: ALL THE PICTURES. Presentation, portions, half eaten, etc... but I didn't. Because the food was so damn good. Look - I'm going to start off by saying I grew up practically on The Hill. Out here, you'll have to Google it (make sure to add 'RI' to the search or you'll get some political BS), but back east, "alls you's have ta say" was those two words and anyone would know you knew your Italian, food and otherwise. There isn't anything on this coast that vaguely compares to The Hill's food, but walking into and biting out of Geraldi's was having a little piece of home. There's this little shop in the old town where the owner knew your voice when you called to order... you'd walk in, and you heard "hey cousin!" whether you were or not, and that's the vibe you get from Geraldi's. The food is much the same - you get something that looks like Nonna was at the range all day with her sauce (it's not gravy - no meat) and you came home looking like you haven't eaten in weeks: "I'm gonna fatten you up before you leave" and you walked out the door with a sub (sandwich, that is - not a submarine) that weighed the same as a newborn. We got three of those babies: a Chicago Beef (seal of approval from the orderer - only 'complaint' was that they had to eat it all in one day because the bread was quote too soggy to make it to lunch the next day - travesty), an Italian sausage (just as delicious when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and a Chicken Parmeroni (I thought somehow even better when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and I could have absolutely gone back the next day if it weren't for A. the leftovers 2/3 of us had and B. the meal planning we'd done for the week I also grabbed a side of giardiniera because I will get it anytime I see it available and I inhaled it - I need to know if I can by it by the vat instead of the side cups because it too was like why I can find at home and amazing!! I'm still upset I didn't take pictures though!

    One of my favorite bakeries alongside berlu bakery and babcia bread. Their croissants (butter,…read morealmond, chocolate, savory) are my absolute favorite thing to get. If you can't finish the croissants day of, make sure to retoast them in the toaster oven! It will still be buttery and flakey and delicious! I love getting their bon bons as gifts for others (too expensive to just get for myself ) and my favorite pastry is their snickers bar. Gosh, not much else to say because others have such a good job with their reviews. They're currently looking for a new location and I'm sad to see them leave their old spot on Williams.

    I haven't actually visited in person yet my cousins were kind enough to grab a to go order for me…read more I've heard the inside is lovely, with pastries practically calling your name from the display. It's clearly a popular spot, and from what I hear, getting there early is key if you want their famous croissants. Everything we ordered was amazing a rocky road cookie, a chocolate croissant, and the ham and cheese croissant. Even two days later, everything was still tasty. The flaky layers were especially impressive. I'm a big rocky road fan and had never tried it as a cookie before this one was a winner and tasted fresh, not processed at all. Definitely looking forward to visiting in person next time.
