The store feels a bit sparsely stocked but they do have a nice selection of cheeses from around the state. They do offer some small samples. The prices are not cheap but similar to other specialty cheese stores around the area. We've picked up many different cheeses here over the years. This store isn't as nice or as well stocked as their location in Milwaukee on 3rd Street. I hope this place continues to survive on State Street.

You can also have this place ship cheese to relatives in other states. You can give them a little piece of wisconsin by shipping them great tasting cheese varieties.

Their produce is high quality, the butcher is very friendly and knowledgeable (he may be the only grocery employee I remember by name), and the cheese selection is wildly impressive. My only annoyance is the few times I've asked some of the younger employees questions and they simply say "I don't know" rather than making any effort to find an answer. Perhaps that's just a product of the generation. Can't wait for my next visit to Brennan's! :)

They offer a variety of fun toppings and soft serve flavors throughout the year. You can find all sorts of fun gifts and souvenirs in this little shop. Highly recommend popping in if you were in the area!
