A friend of mine raved about the chocolates in Gourmage, so I decided to stop in route to Austin, TX. Gourmage sells wine, cheese and chocolates...the winning combination. I purchased the pecan chocolate, which the owner Stephanie said was the most popular and she had just gotten a fresh batch delivered. In addition, I purchased a coconut sponge candy and some little food toothpicks (75% off from their Christmas sale). The candies were exceptional...superior quality. The candies were on the pricier side, but well worth the price. I must say small town businesses in Texas are usually bursting with friendly staff. Texans are known for having Southern hospitality. That was not the case at Gourmage. Stephanie was aloof and mostly answered my questions with one word responses. I did not feel welcomed. There was only one other couple at Gourmage at the time. While the candies were delicious, I will likely not return. Customer service is extremely important to me. read more

I really, really loved this place. I wish I was a local so this could be my hangout! Wow. It's like visiting an aunts house when it comes to the vibes. Nice comfy furniture and just a great space to relax. Our charcuterie board was lovely and everything tasted rich and fresh. The cheeses tasted so good! I wish I got to try the wine but it smelled lovely. The lady working was very kind and helpful even though it seemed she was working on her own.10/10 WILL BE BACK! read more

The vibes are key at this place. I almost felt like I should wear fancier clothing as they play jazz and have very nice furniture to sit on with dim ambiance. The staff was kind and created a great charcuterie board for my lovely and I. read more

Gourmage - Snack plate - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

My husband and I attended a pasta making class taught by Cooking with Nicole at Gourmage in New Braunfels. The class was excellent, and we really enjoyed the shop. It has a nice selection of wines, so we were able to enjoy a bold Cabernet while we were cooking. After we created our pasta we got to eat it, and the cozy seating made the eating experience enjoyable. The shop also has an excellent cheese case. I bought a blue cheese made with sheep's milk that is amazing and a delicious cheese with 7 Japanese spices. The chocolate case looked decadent, but we were too full to try it. I will definitely try something sweet on my next visit. The entire staff was helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our afternoon there cooking and sampling the delicious wine and cheese. read more

It was a good amount of cheese for us each to take home. After we walked to the farmers market to get fresh basil. I would highly recommend this class!! read more

Absolute gem. If you're lucky enough to find yourself in Gourmage you won't be disappointed. Stephanie the owner is professional and kind.

Wednesday's they have a wine and cheese pairing which is always thoughtfully selected. Happy hour daily from 3-6. This has become my new favorite spot. read more

Gourmage - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Gourmage is a Parisian inspired cheese shop and lunch spot nestled in the historic downtown center of New Braunfels. The place is full of wine knick-knacks and gear like pouters, chiller sticks, glassware etc. You naturally can also grab from some choices of wine by the glass or bottle. The employees literally couldn't be nicer if they tried. They love wine and cheese and all the joy that they bring. When asked about the three cheese samples they had out they replied with pure glee. Stating such descriptors as, "amazing" "delicious" "it even looks beautiful!" Their cheese of the week was marked at 20% off, might be a regular thing which is cool. It was a Murcia al Vino. A deep purple wine soaked exterior that as the employee put it, "fades to a wonderful snowy white when you get to the center." While here I grabbed a grilled cheese since they just won the Best of the Wurst award for their grilled cheese. It was quite adorable at $6.75 for a sandwich and chips. I selected the havarti with rosemary ham. It was a little thinner of a sandwich than I'm used to by Texas standards but the cheese was a plenty and filling so I left quite happy. Other choices were Manchester with prosciutto and fig and even a special jalapeño popper inspired grilled cheese. If you're looking for a lovely quick and delicious lunch spot while in New Braunfels then look no further. Grab some cheese for the road while you're here. read more

Gourmage - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Gourmage is a charming little wine (very respectable selection; sold by glass in store or bottle to go) and cheese shop located on the main street (actually San Antonio St.) through New Braunfels. They have a variety of imported and U.S. cheeses (sometimes the selection is better than others; depends on when they receive shipment). They also make in-house mozzarella! All of the staff are super nice and very willing to give you a sample of anything you might be considering. Their offerings range the gamut from triple creams to bleus to aged and everything in between. One of the main reasons I usually stop in is because they carry one of the best aged goudas I have had outside of the Netherlands. Since the Pittag is so good, and that I don't get to visit very often, I usually buy every last ounce! Cheese head here for sure! The prices per lb at Gourmage are comparable to other shops I've been to, and I would state they are even a little more reasonable than some. Gourmage offers several other gourmet goodies including dips, jams, coffee, tea, olives, and more. Their inventory changes frequently. I would be remiss not to mention the large selection of chocolates they also case, including some beautiful artisan truffles. And, never a moment to be bored for the shopaholics out there (looking at mirror). They carry the most delightful and fun tea towels, wine accessories, and such. There are a few tables in the tiny shop where you may sit and enjoy wine or other beverage of choice AND from 11-2:30 Monday through Friday they serve "light lunch" items - usually a special of the day. Grilled cheese? Why, of course. Salads, soups...and one time they were kind enough to pack me up some Bleu Cheese Man n' Cheese to take home even they don't really have containers for such. Above and beyond customer service. When we're in NB, I always tell my husband "I'm just going to run in and grab some cheese and a truffle for you." Inevitably, about 30 minutes and at least $40 later, I walk out with a variety of items. Seeded bee honey, anyone? ;) I had to try it, right? Cheers! read more

My family and I visited last Friday night. Just as an FYI 1- they no longer serve sandwiches 2- please don't ask about the sandwiches. The employee was very snippy when she informed us that sandwiches were no longer being served. The chocolates did look delicious but I was so turned off by the employees attitude that I didn't even bother to order any. read more

My husband and I had a day date here today. We had two beers and enjoy the charcuterie board together. Great little shop and great selection of different cheeses and wine. We will definitely be back soon! read more

The cheese selection is amazing and there are all sorts of delicious goodies too. They even offer cheese making classes! Excellent service, cheerful staff- great spot. read more

Love this place! Great for a "wine down" after a long day at work. The cheeses are excellent and a nice selction of wine. Highly recommend the ham and cheese sandwiches along with a caprese salad. The staff is helpful in recommending a nice wine to accommodate your food selection. Cute items for additional purchases to take home or give as gifts. Give this place a try. I think you'll enjoy the atmosphere and the delicious cheese selections to enjoy there or take home. read more

Great sandwiches and Mac and cheese. We were in the area and decide to stop by. They have cheeses, delectable chocolates and great lunch selections. We will be back soon. read more

What a find! I had bookmarked Gourmage after reading some positive Yelp reviews awhile back, and finally had a chance to try it while passing through New Braunfels. I was having a terrible time trying to decide between all the delicious sounding grilled cheeses. One with havarti, one with a chimay cheese, and one with manchego. Ultimately, I opted for the manchego with a side salad. Solid choice. They use a generous portion of melt-friendly cheese on these sammies, and I love that they aren't overwhelmingly large, just in case you want a truffle or croissant at the end of your visit. Something that was obvious from the get-go, these ladies really know their customers, and if they don't know you, they get to know you. I had the most pleasant conversation with one while she explained the place to me, and then watched her greet every customer by first name as I worked away on my laptop (yes- free wifi!). If I lived in NB, this would be a go-to place for lunch, gifts, or a cheese tray for that upcoming social gathering. read more

I may be biased because these wonderful people were the best neighbors during my year spent in New Braunfels, but I know if Tourist Samantha wandered in seeking good wine recs and good cheese, she would come away more than satisfied and super happy to have met such fantastic cheese mongers. Will and Jan have a true passion for their customers and for their craft. They will help you find the wine for you among their chosen selection, and you can try any cheese you like. And when I say cheese, I don't mean "white" or "yellow." I mean CHEESE. Grab a picnic basket, a baguette, your favorite vino, some dessert, and even gourmet dog biscuits for Spot before you head to Landa to soak up some pre-fall action. And tell them I said hello! **Update: Gourmage is moving! Stop by their new location at 270 W. San Antonio (just right down the road)...still New Braunfels....still just as awesome! read more

A wonderful wine and cheese shop in downtown New Braunfels. Gourmage has a wonderful array of cheeses, chocolates, and other gourmet items. They also make amazing sandwiches. I recommend any of the grilled cheeses, which are very affordable. Their selection of wine is great and they also have a few bombers/liters of local beer for those of us who don't drink wine. read more

I usually get the Roast Beef with Au Jus, which I love. But today I had the Roasted Red Pepper Soup and a salad with Earl Gray vinaigrette. It was awesome. The soup had so much flavor, perfectly balanced. The home made croutons really make the salad special and the piece of bread that came with was a good quality baguette slice with just the right crisp around the edges. read more

Decent wine selection. Good cheeses. Bread was OK. It was fresh but not as good as I was hoping for it to be. I think they also had olives. Will try that next time. Definitely recommend this place if you love wine and cheese! read more

A great place for a gourmet sandwich, a gift, a bottle of wine or gourmet ice cream. Fun, casual environment, but a super snooty selection of fine cheeses. read more

Gourmage - Great lunch! Manchego, prosciutto and fig sandwich with a cup of jerk chicken soup. - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

What an amazing find after seeing an ad that said they were voted to have the best grill cheese sandwich in NB. (We are new to the area) The three of us each tried a different version of the sandwich & all three were equally impressed. I had the jalapeño popper version & it was melt in your mouth delicious ! The owner was extremely friendly and helpful; outstanding service was a bonus. The shop also has many other delectable offerings as well as cute wine & cheese accessories. Certain to return many times! read more

What a great little shop in the middle of historic downtown New Braunfels! I mean what's not to like??? Wine, cheese, chocolate! Um, yes please! They have a great cheese selection and even better they are willing to let you taste without feeling like you are begging for a handout! They also have an incredible candy (mostly chocolate) counter with turtles, fudge, toffee bars, and....homemade marshmallows! The wine selection could be a little better, but there is some variety. They are very helpful and even more knowledgeable about the wines, flavors, and pairings. And bonus, they do serve lunch! Great sandwiches and soups! read more

Where do I even begin with this gem? I love everything about this shop;) The front of the store has a cute old bike ready to be taken out for a stroll! I always walk in to smiling faces and a knowledable staff. If cheese, wine, foreign ingredients intimidate you. You have found your place to shop. Taste the cheese before you buy it, even swap recipe ideas. They carry my Oranginas which i cant find anywhere in NB. Join them on Saturdays for great wine tastings and cheese pairings. Will and Jan are the owners, thank you for bringing this business to New Braunfels! read more

Got here at 5:58pm. The door was locked. Lady inside just waved and stayed on her phone. I wasn't there to eat. I just wanted to grab some cheeses before getting home. How rude. Why not try and cater to the people who get off work late and wanted to try this place out. I always get the best cheeses from Austin but this place just ruined my first experience. I get it...I was cutting it close, but if you don't care about a customer than why should I ever offer you my business. Yikes! What a nightmare. read more

I cannot get enough of this place!! Best cheese shop in central texas in my opinion :) Recently they catered for my wedding a large cheese spread for cocktail hour. Stephanie was fantastic every step of the way. The guests loved it! Huge thanks to Gourmage for helping make our wedding unforgettable! read more

This specialty shop in downtown New Braunfels is worth a trip inside. Handmade chocolate items like "sugar coated orange peel dipped in dark chocolate". Gift ideas like hand loomed kitchen towels from France. A good assortment of specialty cheeses; wine and dessert. And very good french baquettes baked on site. This is a tough location in downtown NB to create a successful retail business. The advantage will be the obvious committment of the husband/wife team; owner/operators and head "Cheesemongers" Jan & Will Atkinson. Next time your at the Crosswalk Cafe take some time to visit Gourmage. read more
