Really cool place, reminded me of a few cheese shops I went to in Italy. Edgewood Cheese was a bonus place for RI Food Fights sandwich month. I got to sample 3 cheeses served with some bread, fig jam and pickles. All the cheeses were unique, fresh and my favorite was the Drunken Goat. I spoke with the owner for a few minutes and he was so friendly and very passionate about his business. read more

Nice cheese shop and other gourmet food items. The proprietress helped us to complimentary samples of cheeses to try - and helped us narrow down our choices: a lusciously creamy and mild bleu (Cambozola Black), an equally creamy and luscious triple cream (Trillium), and a snappy slightly sweet aged Gouda (Beemster XO). Plus they had a number of interesting salumi so I grabbed a wild boar salami and a truffled salami. All of these were excellent that evening with our simple repast of mushroom soup and good crusty bread. Yum! We'll be back ... read more

Great selection of wonderful cheeses! The owner, Casey, is passionate about cheese and his enthusiasm is infectious. We can always trust his recommendations. Nice selection of jams, crackers, and lots more. So fortunate to have this cheese shop right in our neighborhood! read more

I am giving this store 3 stars only because of the service. The gentleman that owns the store was attentive to the customers, but treated the cashier poorly. My friend and I walked away feeling very uncomfortable for the cashier that was working there. The food was delicious, but the owner should either have conversations with his employees in private or just all together be kinder to the other workers there. read more

Tried three of their cheeseboard selections with a wine (and cheese) loving group (check out my pics). The cheeseboards -- The Works - come with authentic deli meats as well. Absolutely worth it. This is an under-promoted shop for real turophiles and just people who enjoy good cheese, if you ask me. With the shop being a BYOB, what reason can you have not to visit? They are open on Sundays, too. The only part that can be improved is the shading on the windows. I can imagine how warm it gets in there, plus the sun shining on everything on the table (including the guests) in warmer weather. read more

What an unexpected find in the Edgewood area. We did a Yelp! search to find a place to grab some lunch and this place got some great reviews so we stopped in to check it out. We ordered two sandwiches, a cheese and meat board, and washed them down with some Yacht Club sodas. Everything we tried was delicious and the young man working the counter was very helpful with making suggestions and recommendations. The paninis are named after the owners and their children (super cute) and come with a bag of chips and some mini pickles (cornichons) and are totally delicious as were the cheese and meat options we selected for our cheese board. I love that this place is BYOB and wish we had been more prepared today to take advantage of this option. Prices are really reasonable and we left there full and happy. They can also help you build a custom gift basket - which would make a lovely gift for someone. For $40 they also offer a "Cheese 101" class where they talk all about cheese and provide samples too. The one area that could use some thought is the overall layout of the shop. The crackers, jams, drinks and other retail product tucked behind the wall should be front and center so you know you can pair them with the star of show - the brilliant cheese case. There's only 3 tables but there's lots more room for seating - perhaps a cozy nook or some dramatic high back chairs and an electric fireplace would add some ambiance and help get more foot traffic in and more seats in the chairs. read more

What a gem of a place! The variety of cheeses.and meats is awesome! They have so many other cute gifts if you want to create a beautiful basket of goodies. read more

Delicious selection, fresh bread & sides. I will definitely go back. Charcuterie is not just for cocktail parties anymore- it was a great lunch! read more

We got "the works" & you choose 5 cheeses and 4 meats. I wanted all the meats so I ordered another board of 4 meats (they have a selection of 8 meats)...that way, I didn't have to pick and choose & sampled them all. LOVED it so much that we ordered the exact same order to go lol I wish I can give this place 10 stars. It's also byob so make sure you grab your favorite wine to accompany the board! read more

Edgewood Cheese Shop and Eatery - Another pretty day in the shop! - Cheese Shops Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

This place is very nice and the suggestions are excellent. My go to is the goat cheddar, however we tried the truffle Brie and it was phenomenal. They have a wide variety of options you just need to know what you like or ask them to surprise you....I have not been disappointed. read more

Great shop!!! Wonderful experience!! Great advice and fabulous cheeses!!!! Went in with a Groupon - owner told us that he loved it - great way to get new customers! Went in for a cheese board and came out with so much more!!!! Will surely return and I highly recommend!!! read more

Damn! these people really know their cheese. Just go in with an open mind (and taste buds), tell them your budget, and your mouth will thank you. Awesome selections, including many from New England. Plus everything that goes well with cheese (except the wine) read more

Wow! I had a great experience going there not only to enjoy some familiar cheeses but to also learn about and even taste a few choices I had never sampled before. I got a Large Cheese Board and was able to select from a very nice board of both cheeses and some meats. And of course, some jam, gherkins and walnuts were included which gave it all a great finesse. The only negative was that I had to take my board and eat it at home since they no longer do sit down options, which is a shame, as I (and others) would probably go much more often to sample other selections than have to take it back home and eat it there. Therefore, I hope they remove the "eatery" designation from their title. read more

Say cheese! I popped in this new eatery with my friend for lunch today. While we waited to place our order at the counter, we nibbled on some free samples of delicious cheeses. We ordered the The Adrienne ($8 Roast Beef and Brie with Fig Jam) and The Ari ($8 Black Forest Ham and Sharp Cheddar with Horseradish Mustard) both served as a grilled pannini and cut in half. Of course, we each enjoyed a half of each sandwich and both were delicious! Large size, filling, fresh and tasty. My only complaint? Chips on the side & pickles. I'm trying to avoid those pesky potatoes; I wish there was an option to order a different side. Loved the mini pickles though! It's a VERY small eatery with LOTS of cheese. If you're looking for a cheddar to bring to your next in-home wine tasting, stop here. Their selection is great and their staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. read more

We had a coupon for the shop and decided to go for lunch and grab some sandwiches. What a disappointment. Mike had a turkey sandwich that had a few slices of deli turkey in it. It didn't taste bad but it's pretty much something that you could make at home for a lot less money. I had a roast beef sandwich and again it was deli roast beef. It was actually kind of a funny color but it didn't taste bad. It had fig jam and Brie cheese on it which was nice. Unfortunately I couldn't taste the roast beef I could only taste the brie and there were holes in the bread because it was so thin so the fig jam was seeping out. It was rather messy to eat in the car. I just feel like every time I go in there everything looks so good and yet the prices are very high and the quality of the prepared foods is not as good as I would expect it to be. We probably won't be back. read more

Absolutely delicious! Casey was very helpful and nice. The selection of cheeses and meats was versatile and I love that there were many local/New England options. The Bayley Hazen bleu from Vermont was my favorite! read more

Edgewood Cheese Shop and Eatery - "The works" 5 cheese 4 meat board - Cheese Shops Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Such a great find! If you love cheese, relaxing, eating small bites, and great service, I highly recommend. My boyfriend and I did the full $25 board, it's honestly such a great deal for the amount of food. They don't rush you at all and refill your bread basket as many times as needed! Great that it's also BYOB, just a small corking/glass fee. I loved that there was a large list of cheeses to choose from and each cheese was explained to us. I usually am not a fan of meat but I actually liked all the meats we got on our board! Very flavorful and I tried smoked duck for my first time- yum :) definitely planning on coming back here. It's a great place to catch up with friends or a daytime date! Will have to try a panini next time. read more

Edgewood Cheese Shop and Eatery - The full board, so delicious!! - Cheese Shops Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

I stopped into the Edgewood Cheese Shop the day I got home from the hospital with our newborn baby. I had wanted to try this place for sometime, but the hours are it conducive for people that work 8-5... Anyway, I popped in to check it out, and the woman behind the counter was super nice and generous. While I was reviewing the menu, she suggested I sample some of the cheeses that she had on display. They were delicious, as were the accompaniments. I ordered the Ari sandwich and told the woman that I literally just got home from the hospital with our newborn, and that I was going to run to CVS while the sandwich was being made. When I returned, in addition to the delicious sandwich, she had prepared a to-go container of several different cheeses to sample (smoked mozzarella, roasted garlic cheese curds, and brie), along with herb mustard and strawberry jam with bread. I literally teared up! So generous!! I highly recommend you carve out time and give this place a try!! read more

Edgewood Cheese Shop and Eatery - The cheese sampling.. - Cheese Shops Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Was excited to try this spot with all the positive reviews, but instead I am filled with disappointment and anger. Upon entering the establishment with 5 other friends, we were told by the owner (Casey) that only 8 people were allowed in the store. Fully understand, even though we were not a group of 8, only 3 of us stayed in. Another group of customers entered next behind us and exceeded the store limit but nothing was said to them. The service from this place was one of the worst I have experienced in my entire life. Every question about an item was met with rudeness, backtalk and impatience by the owner. It was our first time here and we genuinely wanted to know what was the best, but instead we were treated horribly and threatened to be skipped to help other customers in the store despite just being there for a minute. None of my group retaliated with any rudeness as we were more shocked that we were being treated this way. When one member of our group left the place upset at the treatment, the owner proceeded to say that "I guess she didn't like being talked to that way." The man truly knew how rude he was in front of us. None of the other Caucasian customers were being treated the same way so we could only deduce that the man was incredibly racist towards Asian Americans. We decided to take the high road and leave after our transaction. The food was nothing to write home about. I have probably gotten better quality meat and cheese from the supermarket. Not to mention our experience left such a bad taste in our mouth. If you truly want cheese, I highly recommend you stay away from this place. Please check out Sweet and Salty Farm at the Farmer's Market instead as their cheese quality was amazing and their owner was incredibly nice and hospitable. TLDR: 0/10 cheese shop, disgusted with the treatment/service. Mediocre food. read more

Stopped in to buy some cheese for a gift basket and came back for lunch! THE MILES! What a great deal! Only 6 bucks! A grilled cheese sandwich a bag of chips and a pickle slice. I had to try the grilled cheese from a dedicated cheese shop and I was not disappointed it was fabulous. Hoping to come back with my girl crew for the big sample platter! You can bring your own wine. read more

Edgewood Cheese Shop and Eatery - Cheese Shops Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

The gf & I ordered the platter. It was awesome! Thanks groupon! The place has been open about three weeks. So give the lack of decor a break. If this place gets a liquor license it could be a huge hot spot! They however have a BYOB license, I didn't know that when we went. The only recommendation I can give is to make little signs & put them on the platter so you know which meat is which & what cheese is what. I can't wait to come back with a nice bottle of wine! read more

We opted for the experts to build our "Works" meat and cheese board... and glad we did! An amazing assortment of blue cheese, aged Gouda, onion cheddar, aged goat cheese, a bunch of different salami, fig jam, pickles, mustard, apricots and baguettes. Delicious! You must try this place! read more

Edgewood Cheese Shop and Eatery - Cheese Shops Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

I've visited this shop numerous times and the more I go, the more I find things that I want to buy and eat. I find myself nearly daydreaming of going back after just getting home. The cheese selection is great. I love, LOVE, their Pate selection. Especially the Black Pepper Pate, it's not a mousse texture but more of a chunky style, perfect with crackers. The fig jam is also great with blue cheese. Like many, I tend to order the Works, it allows me to taste a bunch of new cheese and meats. Highly recommend this place for a snack or meal. read more

Can I give zero stars based on the sheer rudeness of the proprietor? We went in to try some sandwiches since the Yelp reviews of their sandwiches looked great. The man working there rudely announced, "I haven't had sandwiches in three and a half years. Why don't you take your business to the places you've been taking it to for the last three and a half years." His tone was awful. My officemate and I went next door where the staff is welcoming and the grinders are great. I won't be back to the rude cheese dude. read more

Mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmustard, we started our journey in the parking lot, because having parking is Awsome. Enter cheese nirvana, your experience continues as you are walked through the cheese choices and then you move on to the meat menu. (We had the works) Mmmmmmmm As we waited for our platter to be prepared, we enjoyed our BYOB and marveled that there was parking. And here it comes, served on half of a tree, our smorgasbord had arrived. Mustard, apricots, pickles, local honeycomb, super fresh bread and pecans surrounded our cheese and meat selection. We will return to our new favorite sweet salty and savory sensory experience very soon. The cheese date was a success for both the wife and I! read more

A pleasant experience shopping and a delicious experience at the table. We'll definitely be back to sample another cheese.

Went in a few weeks back on a Saturday morning to check out this new business. It was so nice inside, a few tables/chairs to eat in, and great cheeses to purchase. Wonderful selection of local, domestic, and European cheeses. Such a great addition to this area. Wonderful owner - she's so helpful and a delight to chat with. Have since been back for lunch with a friend. We had the most amazing large cheese board. We picked a couple of items and then let the owner make selections that would go nicely with those flavors. First of all, it was so much food, that I'll certainly pick this up again to entertain at home. Secondly, it was AMAZING. The bread was delicious, the assortment of cheeses and meats was perfect, and the side condiments with it were out of this world. That mustard and fig jam they have are some of the best I've ever had. Try the espresso rubbed cheese, it's amazing. And it's one of the few places here to find cheese curds - perfect for poutine!! read more

My husband and I came here this afternoon on an impromptu date day. We shared a large cheese board and brought a bottle of wine. The cheese selection was excellent and the bread, jam and candied nuts on the board were all really good. The place is cozy and super reasonably priced. We feel like we found a gem for sure! read more

There are so many different cheeses to choose from! I got a groupon for a $20 value so I decided to go in one saturday afternoon. Its towards the end of broad street on the cranston side and while there isn't a huge parking area, there is plenty of places to park nearby. The guy who owns it is extremely kind and very helpful! I got the 5 cheese cheeseboard with aged goat salami and then went home with two cheeses that I could eat with crackers coming to about $30 before the groupon. It was pretty relaxing as I enjoyed my cheeseboard with the great sounds of jazz the owner put on after I chose my cheeses. The cheese was pretty good, but I think I only really liked one or two of the cheeses on the board because there was a list of cheese you could choose and none of them besides one or two were the ones I wanted to try, thankfully I was able to try one of the cheeses I bought before I bought it. I had totally forgot it was BYOB so next time I come, I will be more prepared for sure! read more

We got our cheese platter to go and had a lovely picnic several feet away from anyone and it was a great experience. I am very adventurous when it comes to cheese whereas my partner is very "Chedder only" so I am very grateful that the Edgewood cheese shop had several selections to make us both happy! I would've enjoyed my meal more if the baguette was toasted but I'm not picky! Definitely try this place out and don't forget the wine they are BYOB!! read more

This is such a special place - I found it through groupon and went on a whim, and was so glad I did. The owner is incredibly helpful and knowledgable about all things cheese, and let us sample a few kinds before finding what we wanted. He was really patient answering my questions and offered great tips on how to round out our flavors with what we were getting. I just made myself a small board at home with the three cheeses I picked up and was SO happy with the choices! I cannot recommend the caramelized onion cheddar enough -- it's INCREDIBLE! Thank you and we will be back soon! read more

The cheese is definitely the star here. Because of the great reviews, I decided to give this place visit for lunch. I ordered the Ari. The sandwich was great - the ham and mustard gave the right amount of kick in the flavor and the warm cheese dripped out onto the plate giving me something to scoop up with the chips. The owner was friendly and seemed really excited about his store. There are 4 tables in house that are casual and comfortable. They also have Yacht Club soda - I love when local businesses support other local businesses. Right now I think this place is set up more for the cheese plates or picking up cheese to go. This is a new business, so there is room to grow, but I think this is a great addition to the area. I do have a few suggestions because I think that it will be much easier to survive if the place was a little more versatile: invest in real plates for sandwiches, think about expanding the side selections (salad, fruit), work on the quality of the pickles, and keep the cheese the star. read more

Very happy with our first experience at ECS. Awesome choices for cheeses you can't find anywhere else. The featured cheese (and my guess is they feature different cheeses as they become available) was a smoked Gouda called Beemster XO. Creamy tidbit of deliciousness. And I don't like Gouda!! Also bought a mesquite smoked cheddar. Incredible taste. Close your eyes and this cheese transports you to another time, next to a smokehouse. Paired great with KJ Chardonnay and smoked almonds. Will definitely be back. read more

Delicious sandwiches! Would definitely come back again. Ingredients seemed high quality and fresh.

So glad my husband and I found this place! For just $25, my husband and I got a beautiful board of five cheeses and four meats with accompaniments of olives, apricots, rose petal confit, candied pecans, and hot pepper relish. We knew which meats we wanted, and asked for a cheese selection that would go well together. We were not disappointed! The perfect lunch for two, and BYOB to boot. Locally baked bread and a wide selection of meats and cheeses including locally-sourced items make this a local gem and a must see! read more

A great place to pick up a cheese plate for date night. The owner is very nice and helpful, he really listened to what I was looking for and didn't try to upsell me which I appreciate. He made great suggestions and I left with an awesome cheese and meat tray (skewed for more cheese because I'm vegetarian and my partner is not) and I had a great date night! I've been back twice since and each time has been equally good. read more
