Imagine my surprise when I pulled into the driveway and realized that I had been there years ago. Years later, my observations still hold. This is a great place to get very fresh Canadian made buffalo mozzarella and burrata for an amazing price. It's the same Bella Casata that I find at my Longos, but much cheaper and with longer expiration dates. For example the Canadian burrata runs $16-18 at Longos and was $10 here! Brie was on special $10 a kg, so my kid got a huge wedge for $4. Sone of that went into the freezer. We also got a gorgeous braid of bocconcini. This would be gorgeous on a large cheese plate. We just ripped it into pieces and made it part of a rustic and yummy caprese. There was also a nice special on prosciutto and we did not buy enough as most of it disappeared minutes after arriving home.

My Experience Working Here…read more This was a very difficult work experience for me, particularly because of my experience working under the manager, Marina. In my experience, Marina's management style often made employees feel intimidated and closely monitored. At times, the environment felt overly strict, and I often felt that I had to walk on eggshells to avoid making a mistake or causing concern. I also experienced a significant amount of micromanagement, including frequent instructions and involvement in routine tasks. At times, I felt that employees were not given enough independence to carry out their responsibilities. Some decisions seemed to create additional stress without improving the overall efficiency of the workplace. I found the way employees were sometimes spoken to and treated discouraging. A manager can maintain standards and provide direction while still treating employees with respect and professionalism. Another concern I personally witnessed was customers being discussed after they had left the store. I believe customer matters should be handled with discretion and professionalism. I also have serious concerns about the company's employment practices. During my time working there, I personally became aware of two workers whose immigration status, to my knowledge, did not authorize them to work in Canada. I found this concerning and believe employment practices should comply with Canadian law and be fair and transparent. Overall, my experience was extremely negative. The company may have good products and loyal customers, but management has a significant impact on employee morale and the workplace environment. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend working here. I hope the company takes employee concerns seriously and examines its management and employment practices. If I could give this place a 0 I would.

I have photos that detail the process, and each of the three monthly menus. Each time I emailed to schedule pickup, Ben was quick to reply, very professional and always had my selections ready for pick up at our agreed upon time. Each months selections were outstanding. We tried so many different cheeses that we wouldn't have otherwise. We loved everything we tried and went back to buy more of what we liked. Whether you're looking for a unique gift for someone or trying new cheeses, Leslieville should be your first stop. You won't be disappointed.

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.
