DeVries is a shop in the Eastern Market district that specializes in cheese but also has many other…read moregoods to sell. The store is clean and well organized and the employees are friendly and helpful. One of the best things is you can try/taste the cheese. Ask for a taste of a particular cheese you are interested in and an employee will cut the cheese and give you a taste. If you go to Eastern Market, give DeVries & Co. Cheese shop a try. Nice selection of cheese and sauces and gifts in 3 floors.

Definitely a cool stop in (or near?) eastern market in Detroit. It's 3 floors but the one you…read moredefinitely want to check out is the first. They sell edible goods local, foreign, and basic. The problem is that everything is somewhat to grossly overpriced. The local stuff sure - for example, I paid $2.50 a piece for Bev's Bagels (decent, nothing compared to mid tier NYC bagels but better than the vast majority of what you can find in southern Michigan). But for basic (or even foreign) goods it seems ridiculous to buy here instead of a normal grocery store or one of the myriad ethnic shops around. The real star is the cheese selection. They don't have much out, but they have a multi-page list of what they have in stock and they are both knowledgeable and generous with samples. I picked up a really interesting 12-year aged cheddar and tried a few others. There are always a couple of samples out but I've found them unexciting. They have an equally impressive list of meats but I haven't had the chance to explore those. Take the original (and super cool) elevator up to the second or third floors and you can find all kinds of knick knacks from lawn ornaments to Detroit gear. I'm not sure if it was a sale or not, but the last time I was there I picked up a decent quality t shirt for a mere $10. Overall it's a cool store and definitely worth checking out, but unless you're looking for a particularly rare cheese the likelihood of finding anything worth purchasing is slim.

They have quality of both and I came here with friends and their families to pick up some quality meats and cheeses in preparation for Thanksgiving spreads. They also offer so many other artisanal goodies (chocolate, coffee, tea, etc.) that you can browse as you wait for your meat/cheese order to be ready. The employees here are also so knowledgeable and friendly and will prepare everything to your specifications and help to provide recommendations based on what you're looking for and enjoy typically as well. They are consummate professionals and you can tell how much they genuinely enjoy working here and improving their craft! There is also a delicious menu of cheese-based sandwiches that often times sell out, so you can also pick up a delectable sandwich here after soaking in all the delicious food scents as well! Highly recommend literally everything here. They are pricier, but you're paying for proper goods that are worth every cent!

Also, they have a curated variety of imported and US-made food products. And house tools for cheese lovers (even kits to make cheese). Everyone here is very friendly, and knowledgeable about cheese, and you can tell they care about their clients and community. It is a very cute place, a paradise for cheese lovers like me. Everything is very well organized, and well taking care of and clean. They also have wines, ciders and beers to go there.

I decided to check out their offerings, since I was in the area…read more I never actually made it here when the cheese lady was here and they were open. Never had such luck until now. Glad I ended up going to brunch nearby. Wanted to check out their Gouda and their goat milk offerings. Could use some yummy goat milk cheese after all, right? Decided to try several of their different goat cheese Goudas. I learned that I prefer their harder cheeses, not fond of the soft cheese unless it's in a salad or something. I tried their midnight moon, ballerina, smoke, Beemster and honeybee. I ended up purchasing two 1/4 of each of the harder cheeses (Midnight moon, Beemster and Honey Bee) $46.86. The ballerina and smoked is a softer cheese and doesn't have as much flavor as the midnight moon. The midnight moon has the most defined flavor out of all that I tried today. More expensive than I would have liked, but fantastic that you can try many of them. The female staffer was more knowledgeable about the cheeses than the younger male staffer, he was nice to work with. She was just as nice.

They didn't carry vegan cheese on a regular basis but did share they have it periodically. So this was the main item that I stopped in for and was unable to purchase. The store is really quaint and cute. They had several jams/jellies, crackers, olive oils, balsamic vinegars and candies. They had some pre-made charcuterie boxes available for purchase. The store made fresh grill cheeses and offered a daily soup which all smelled amazing.

On the restaurant side - we got waited on by a very attentive and polite waiter who explained the menu items in great detail. I have to say that the selection is interesting - some unexpected combinations of ingredient on the assortment of sandwiches. I had a hard time picking just one. We finally settled on "fig and pig" and salmon croissant. Both didn't disappoint! Croissant came with a copious amount of smoked salmon over a jam spread. I wouldn't think about such pairing- but it worked! Fig and pig entailed bacon over a goat cheese spread and jam. Another great one. I'm intrigued and will make another trip to try other offerings. The store side had a good selection of wine, deli meats, large selection of cheese and gourmet selections of chocolate. When I say gourmet I'm talking flavors I've not heard of before- like mushroom, and much more. And not cheap (so must be good?? ). I'd like to return when I have more time and explore the store some more.

I called Gabriel Imported Foods and they said the husband in the couple that owned this business at Eastern Market passed away and the business closed after that. I wish I could have tried the stuffed grape leaves and other delectables...they sounded glorious. I am sad for how this business came to close- it seems as if it brought tasty joy to many lives. I hope the family is doing well now.

However, the tastings are in small groups of about 8 people at a time so you can hear the wine descriptions and interact with the group easily. I ran into a college classmate that I haven't seen in 8 years because we were both running our mouths about how we liked the wine we were tasting. I wasn't a fan of the wines we tasted but I loved the Chardonnay I purchased as we sat around and talked. Conner was a great server and gave excellent recommendations. There are plenty of seating options, including a few couches upstairs. I will be back just to enjoy the atmosphere and have a glass or 2 of the Chardonnay.
