Sometimes it depends on who makes the sandwich for you but usually the workers load the sandwich pretty well with your choice of toppings. The store itself is pretty nice and has a lot of fresh ingredients. The prices are a little high but I would say it's because it's a higher end grocery store. Definitely a place you would come to get a couple of things, not your typical weekly groceries.

This is a long overdue review…read more.. Once I found out that they give cheese tours, I made it a compulsory event on my to do list. They host monthly Saturday cheese tours and it cost $7 per person. Remember to call or email in advance to reserve a spot. My boyfriend and I arrived ~10 mins earlier than the scheduled tour. The ladies in the cheese shop area were super nice and told us to start sampling the cheese whilst we wait for the other parties to arrive. This was the first time I heard and tasted quark. We were told by the staff that it can be used in place of yoghurt - eg. eat it straight up or add it to baking. For the tour, they will give you shoe/boot covers and a hair net. They shut down the production line whilst giving the tour, which makes sense for hygiene reasons. The production area was immaculate! The tour guide told us they clean all the equipments and production area at the end of each day after a batch of cheese is made. The tour was informative and our guide was happy to answer all our questions. Apparently ~4000 liters of milk makes 100kg worth of cheese. Out of all the different production stages/areas, we spent the longest in the impressive "cheese cave". There were so many wheels of cheese!!! Each wheel weighs ~10kg and the net worth of cheese in the aging room were in the millions. After the tour the different parties waited in line to buy cheese. The cheese are all vacuum sealed to prolong storage life. Out of the 6 types of cheese I bought, the truffle flavour was favourite. It had a strong truffle aroma with an underlying milky taste.

I am impressed with the knowledgeable courteous employees, especially proprietor Paola who sets the tone of first-class customer service.

If you have wine at home this is your first stop especially the cold months for a night in of classic films with a classic cheese tray you can make yourself starting with great artisan cheese. If you don't know much about cheese this is a great place to start your journey. Small quaint shop, with a very knowledgeable owner. Red (or white) wine pairs well with the lovely local Ontario cheeses here. First time for Gunn's Hill from Woodstock which landed somewhere on the palate between Jarlsberg and Mull of Kintyre aged Cheddar. Was so good, went back for another piece the following day. If you forget bread, don't worry. You can pick up a beautiful rustic loaf here. #HighlyRecommend

I have previously mentioned that my Dad is a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to cheese…read more Consequently, we quickly ran out of the cheese selection I brought back from Montreal. While we could have just eaten the many grocery store options my sister had in her home, those just don't compare. So, we went in search of a cheese shop and found Mickey McGuire's. Our cheese order started with Comte, which I was surprised but delighted to find in a small town cheese shop. Next, my Dad asked for their best blue cheese and we were given a sample of a very creamy but very strong/pungent blue cheese...not for the faint of heart. Next we asked for a Beemster cheese they recommended. Finally, my Dad asked for a sample of a cheese they felt we HAD to taste. While this is a pretty difficult request since people's tastes are so diverse and it's a rather vague question, they were up to the task at Mickey McGuire's and brought out a special reserve of a local made cheese that is only available for the month of December. It was delicious and definitely something different. $82 and a whole lot of cheese later, we walked out very happy.

If you do like spicy, then you are in for a treat. There is a great selection of both vegetarian and meat dishes and you can get 'sampler' platters that are massive that let you sample a huge range of foods. The name of the business is silly, as they either didn't want to or didn't have the money to change the name from the previous owner (queen bakery location 2). We had traditional Etheopian coffee, which they actually roast the green coffee beans for you then bring them out and let you smell them before they take them back and grind and brew. They will even serve with popcorn??? It was very good (the coffee, that is :) If you like trying the food of different cultures and want something from a mom and pop establishment with amazing service, then this is the place. It's in the industrial part of town, but I hope they get some good traffic.
