I purchased a British cheddar, with cracked, black pepper. SUBLIME. They have the usual comestibles such as olives, pastas, several varieties of oils for cold dishes. Expen$ive.

Farmhouse Artisan Cheese has all that you need for a perfect charcuterie board and more. I tried out the 14 Arpents, Grey Owl, and Brebisrousse. I highly recommend the Brebisrousse cheese as it was creamy, smooth, and mild. If you're looking for something crazy try Grey Owl, it was a creamy and semi mild cheese. The mold on top of the cheese is a little frightening but it kind of tastes like wine in a way. I don't recommend the 14 Arpents as it smells and tastes like a barn lol.

They have a huge selection of cheese that is largely from Quebec, including some organic raw milk cheddar, chevre noir and other pasteruized cheese. They also have a few different local cheeses from Ontario, including a raw sheep's milk cheese and some classic aged cheddars. From the imported selection, my favourites are some of the chevres from France, including Clochette (which is about $19), and the Applewood Smoked Cheddar from England, which is a little cheaper - a large triangle piece cost about $7. The store also carries olive oils, vinegar, jams, specialty crackers (including gluten-free), and olives. I bought a container of large, pitted green olives from Spain for about $2. Their baked items are brought in daily. The loaves of bread and baguettes are from Thuet Bakery and the croissants and danishes (which look amazing) are from Pain Perdu. The girl who works at the front counter is also very friendly! She will even let you sample the cheese to help you decide.

The staff are friendly and super knowledgeable about both the cheeses and wines they sell. I appreciate that there is a fair amount of their cheese selection dedicated to Canadian cheese makers/farms. The ambience is an upscale store with a warm feel. I think you can also get a drink and small things to nibble on while you're there. They offer local delivery, which I used last Christmas with no problems. Basically, this is a local gem. Yes, the prices are on the higher side, but you're paying for real quality. Next time you're in the neighborhood, why not at least drop in and take a look around

Firstly I'll just put this out there just cuz: Growing up this address was a Cambodian restaurant ran by a friend's father who was a Cambodian army officer and kept talking about one day returning to his homeland to help with demining efforts (the legacy of the dark Khmer Rouge era). Right now this address hosts Good Cheese, which when it first opened felt like a gentrifying jab in the area (what, a wine snack bar in East Chinatown, what whitey madness is this?!), but never got around to trying it in that phase. During COVID they didn't just like many restaurants at the time pivoted to selling bottles, they revamped themselves to be more of a gourmet grocery, which is the iteration I am only familiar with. They still have some bar seating if you ever so inclined to have a glass and a bite. Though mainly you're probably here to admire the top-to-bottom shelf after shelf of gourmet goods from local and imported sources--jams by Kitten & the Bear; French chips in interesting flavours; chocolates; $10 and up canned sardines and other seafood, elevated stuff you won't find elsewhere to treat yourself or cook up a special meal. Wine and beer to take home--fridges stocked with a variety of Ontario craft brews not even the LCBO carries, such as Badlands and a couple Ottawa breweries (Tooth & Nail, Dominion City) I came across on an Ottawa trip. There's a bit of an European-esque grocery vibe to this place, complete with passionate and sometimes quirky staff. And of course there's cheese--good, fancy cheese.

But the standout for me was the Pastel de Nata. It has a wonderfully creamy custard, a beautifully baked caramelized top, and crisp, flaky tart edges that really bring it together. It is so dangerously good, which is very darn easy to keep eating. I enjoyed it a lot and will definitely be back soon!

The "Factory" a few wdoors down is the grocery store. I've never been disappointed by any of their sandwiches - bread and ingredients always fresh and tasty, and portions are large (I could never finish them in 1 sitting), and the price was very reasonable. The baked goods are priced even better - similar pastries at other stores are usually more expensive, yet these ones were just as good. The brisket poutine is HUGE and the brisket was delicious - just wish there was more cheese. Service is friendly overall, but they take their time with each order. Lots of seating, but parking situation is not good, and public transport is not convenient - we just ubered here the several times we went.
