I stopped in on a Friday before they closed. I was greeted warmly by a woman who offered as many samples as I wanted! I tried quite a few samples and ended up buying some crackers, seeds, cheese curds, and a nice hard port wine cheese. They have all sorts of cute gifts, snacks and spreads as well as cheese. Prices were not cheap, but the service and samples made it worth it. I hope they do well.

A few months ago, I was stumped for a Christmas gift for my good friends of many years. After…read moregetting my hair cut in early December, I noticed a card for The Cheese Factory on the desk at my salon. Bingo! Heading up Taylor Road, I blew right by. The place is set back from the road a bit, and the signage is easy to miss. Once inside the little shop, there's a lot more to see than just cheese (but there is certainly plenty of that). Other food items like olive oil, pickles and crackers, kitchenware, assorted gift items - lots to look at. The guy at the counter couldn't have been nicer. Cheese Factory gift card, a nice bottle of wine - perfect gift. Mission accomplished!

I consider all the shops along this little stretch to be part of the Rochester Public Market. I'm…read morenot sure if that's accurate, but they are part of my experience with the market, and I love them all. Giordano is one of the best of the bunch, as they have all the cheese you'd ever want...and I want a lot of cheese. I want the funky bleu, the creamy brie, the sharpest cheddar you can find, the chevre, whatever you can find from a sheep, certainly including manchego, and all the olives they have in stock too. I want the cheeses with fun additions like truffles and pepper and meat and I also want the meat that hasn't been added to the cheese, because meat is good on its own too. All that said, the last time I came in I felt like I was bothering the staff there. I got curt, annoyed answers when I was curious about a cheese I wasn't familiar with, and we ended up leaving with about 25% of the amount of cheese I wanted to buy just because it's not fun to put together a cheese plate with people who aren't trying to help you. I hope it was an off day, because I'll be back again soon. After all, I have a cheese problem.

We used to frequent this place at the Rochester Public market when we lived here years ago so when…read moreon a recent visit we stopped in. Though it was almost empty on a Thursday morning it was difficult to get to the cheese display because the only two patrons were pretty much sitting in the aisle gabbing with one of the workers. We had to squeeze around them since they weren't moving. Once at the cheese counter the smallish selection of cheeses were unmarked so we needed to quiz the burly guy manning the counter. He was gruff and almost rude in his attitude. Almost unhelpful. It is lucky we bought anything at all. If you wanted your purchase wrapped in cheese paper vs. plastic they charged another $1.75. Really? Definitely not the positive experiences we remembered from the past. Very Disappointing!

I've passed it several times, but this was my first time experiencing it. Cool concept where you build a charcuterie board from a buffet line of cheeses, crackers, and meat options. They were all really good and the different pairing options like honey, peppers, jams made it even better. The pepper guy was good. He had a variety of heat levels and I particularly enjoyed the tanginess of the Awaken the Dead and the graduated heat of the Sting of Ancients. Due to the versatility of the Awaken I did purchase that one. The Daughters Dumplings has a great family story and everyone seemed to really enjoyed the fried dumpling. I took mine home to steam as she suggested and they ARE very good. I used my tangy pepper sauce on them and it paired well. My favorite of the four was Natalie's Tamales. They apparently were a last minute addition and I'm so glad they were. Owned by a sweet lady who puts actual love and care in her food. I like tamales, but I LOVED her tamales. Absolutely delicious! You must try them for yourself and follow her on Instagram. Ambience is modern, Instagramable, full wine bar, open meeting space with screen available for presentation and small kitchenette area. I'll be back for a girl's night, event or date night.

Such a fun experience!…read more So many fun flavors of icecream and different cheeses! Not to mention the adorable cows!! We tried the flight of 8-- 5 icecreams and 3 cheeses. For icecream we tasted the purple cow, peach cobbler, cookies and cream, black cherry chocolate, and the coffee heath crunch. My favorite was the coffee flavor- unlike other coffee icecreams I've had, this coffee had a much more robust and richer flavor profile. I liked cookies and cram-- always a classic. The cherry flavor was a tad too artificial for my liking. Purple cow was fine- very similar to the Cornell Dairy flavor- both are good though! I liked the peach cobbler flavor though wish there were more of the mix-ins. For cheeses, we tasted the butter garlic cheddar curds, the signature Summit Cheddar, and the plain quark. The garlic cheddar curds were so good, I took a bag home with me! Summit cheddar had a nice nutty flavor, not too 'sharp' though. The quark was interesting... it had a rather mild flavor and interesting texture (similar to boursin). I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. I also took home a bag of the tomato basil cheese curds which I didn't like as much as the garlic ones. The tomato ones had a very subtle flavor-- too subtle. There was a line when we got there though it moves relatively quickly and is definitely worth the wait! Overall, I had so much fun picking out so many icecreams and cheeses to taste as well as seeing the cows! I would highly recommend Shtayburne Farm!

I purchased some tomato basil cheese curds and a brick of gouda cheese (which conveniently they were making fresh that day!) The prices were on par with other creameries I have been to.
