It's probably a good thing I live 40 minutes away from Grater Goods, because if I lived too close my diet would become exclusively cheese. I finally visited for the first (and not the last) time recently for a private tasting event with fellow folks from the Junior League. The two women working -- including Jennifer, the owner -- were easy to talk with and super informative about the four cheeses they served us, which ranged from a Brie to a Comte. I love cheese. I love expensive, funky cheese, and I also love cheap, mild cheese (and everything in between). But I know enough about cheese -- well, I've eaten enough cheese, at least -- to tell these were excellent cheeses provided by someone who really wants locals to enjoy them. The shop itself is lovely, carrying not just cheeses but some meats and plenty of other selections you may want for a charcuterie board (or your own midnight snack)...spreads, honeys, crackers, and more. They also have some French butters, ready-to-beat baguettes, and even some homewares like beautiful wooden service items, mini fondue pots, and cheese slicers. This would be an excellent place to stop in for a housewarming gift, even if you're not looking to gift something edible. But also, consider gifting something edible. Who doesn't want good cheese? And I haven't taken advantage of it yet, but I will soon: the shop offers trays and boards ranging from "snack for 2" to "large party" if you give them notice. Also, "snack for 2" might become my new go-to lunch. read more

What a great find! When we walked in, we happened to arrive during a wine tasting--now I'm excited to come back for one on an upcoming Friday. The owner greeted us warmly and gave excellent cheese recommendations based on what we like and what we've tried before. She even offered to save our order under our phone number so we could easily remember it next time (or not have to remember at all!). The shop has more than just cheese, too: there are jams, pickles, and other fun specialty items. It's such a cute spot, and I can't wait to go back. read more

I absolutely love this little hidden gem. The service was impeccable. I was thoroughly impressed with the selection of cheeses. They have so many great things that world compliment any charcuterie board. Lastly I purchased caviar and tried it got the guest time. I'm in love. On Friday's they collaborate with the wine store next door and host a cheese and wine tasting got $10 read more

I am in heaven i love it so much so beautiful magical amazing love it so much! All kinds of cheese and the staff is so respectful and kind and loving and respectful and kind and caring and helpful! Very clean and organized thank you for everything! From Lauren read more

We did the wine and cheese experience. It was different than I thought with using tongs to grab a cheese. The cheeses were excellent, the descriptions was provided on a list. I would have loved to hear someone describe the cheese or talk more about their shop. I think the cheese and wine experience was awesome for the cost, but I'd love a more personal experience at the cheese shop, that's how you get return customers. read more

I love it when I go inside like I did today and there are lots of people who are looking for something delicious for the holidays. I have ordered charcuterie and cheese plates before and every time I am thrilled with what I get. Yesterday I went in to ask what one of the cheeses I had about a month ago was because it was so good. I was sure they would say sorry I can't help you but no, this was an American cheddar and I brought it and other delicious items home. I know tariffs must make importing cheese a nightmare these days but this place is worth every penny and they have just about everything there at very good prices. It's like an adult candy store (next door is wine so this is perfect). I love being able to stop by and find something new and having such knowledgeable and lovely people helping me find something I know I will enjoy is even better. I will always be back for more. read more

The Owner that waits on me, always helps me choose great tasting cheese. The pickles are good and I can't wait to try the jelly! She also saves my purchases, so when I go back-she can remind me what cheeses I bought and liked. I try to stop in when I am in the area. If you need a charcuterie tray made, she can help you make good choices for your tray. I made a mini one tonight. I enjoyed it so much. Keep up the good work! Support small businesses please! read more

What a true disappointment a visit to grater goods was today. After a truly wonderful experience next door at Bernie's wine, where we asked for help selecting French wine and the owner could not be more hospitable we walked into grater goods for some help with some French cheese. The woman there was dismissive and would not help us. We walked out and will never return again. I am such a supporter of local businesses so it makes me sad at the service that we received today. read more

Outstanding products and service! So many wonderful things to eat, I could make myself sick there very easily. There charcuterie boards rock. read more

Yum, yum. yum! I know I am a cheese lover- and I am at the Pottery Studio on the back side of this shopping complex numerous times a week and FINALLY said- I need to check them out! I blame fabulous cheese and wine tasting up in upstate NY, lol. And Bernie's Wine Shop is right next door- so you can get your cheese, meats, accoutrements all at Grater Goods and run next door and pick up a bottle or a case and have yourself set! The good- all large wheel cheeses- you can sample! She usually has little bundles wrapped to slice you off a piece. I tried several and bought one wedge and her yummy feta spread! Whipped feta- I saw her post on IG about it and just absolutely had to try it! I'll be checking back in- I also bought a jar of peach cardamon cobbler jam too! They had a chocolate, bourbon, raspberry jam I was eyeing too- but I figure I should get through what I have and give myself to come back to buy again! Oh- and she has plenty of charcuterie boards, accessories and more! You can also order pre-made boards in advance! Win WIN! Highly recommend this Murray Hill cheesy grin spot! And they have all the meats too ;) read more

Grater Goods is a tiny cheese shop (mostly) at the end of a small strip mall in Edgewood in Murray Hill. It could just as easily be in the East Village or Frascatti. The cases are packed with cheeses of every sort. GG is the only place that I have found guanciale (don't call it carbonara if it isn't made with guanciale). Jennifer is the only real cheesemonger in Jacksonville and maybe the most passionate in the southeast. The prices are exceptional for the quality of the products. Grater Goods is a must visit for any "foodie" read more

I've been a few times and I have had wonderful experiences. Today, maybe I wasn't dressed appropriately (jogging suit) but the service was trash. It was cold today and I have to much prepping for the holidays to worry about finding something other than a jogging suit. Service alone. I will no longer be recommending this place. Besides, she no longer offers vegan meat options for boards. read more

Oh my! This was our fourth stop in our Wine Tour of Murray Hill (reviewed separately) and it was wonderful - it was the first shop that I also bought stuff in (Bacon Jam! OH my!). The store has cheese. I don't really need to say more, do I? Beautiful cheese. Stinky cheese. Fruity cheese. Goat Cheese. Cheese. Cheese. Can I say cheese one more time? It is a store filled with cheese and its next door to a wine shop, really? Can it BE more perfect? The proprietor was knowledgeable, just like you would expect her to be! and she was really friendly. And - I hope you are sitting down - they offer cheese classes!! What? Like them on Facebook to get their schedule of events. read more

This is an amazing store, with artisan American cheese's & incredible cheeses from around the world, I've easily referred over 200 people to this business, the owner is a charm and full of knowledge, as she gets to know you & what you like, with passion she will suggest new things to try. Uber clean, and all sorts of things to buy, probably the best cheese shop in Florida and I mean it!! read more

I'll admit. We're cheeseheads at our house. And if you are a wannabe cheese snob, this is where you'll want to get the goods. Get it? Goods....Grater Goods...nevermind. Currently, you can find the national winning American cheese two years in a row (Made in Vermont) for under $22 take home. Found this out on their social media page and will have to pick that one up next time. For the lactose intolerant, there are plenty of goat cheeses to get and if cows are your deal, there are even more hard & soft cheeses as well as semi softs to satisfy your palate. Grater Goods has some of the most sought after cheeses from around the world that you're not going to find at your local Publix and that's what makes this place so special. And the prices here are even competitive with large markets in town for their specialties. The owner is always there to impart her cheesy knowledge and slice out a sample for you to try. We probably tried close to our cut off amount, but ended up taking home a few to enjoy at home. Definitely appreciate the cheese inventory we found here. Overall, there's so much more available besides cheese in this shop and an excellent place to pick up a few gifts or order your custom charcuterie for any occasion. Plus it's so convenient there's a wine store next door. read more

Lovely shop with a great selection. The owner was helpful and kind. I'll come back here whenever I'm in town.

This place is amazing! I cannot wait to come back! I came looking for some meat and cheese for a charcuterie board I was making and I wanted something different from what Publix or other grocery stores sell. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted though. When I walked in the owner greeted me with a warm greeting and let me look around without being too overbearing. Within a minute I wanted everything. There were a bunch of amazing looking flavored honeys, crackers, jams, and of course, meats and cheeses. Everything you'd need to make the ultimate meat and cheese board. Eventually I asked for her recommendations and she was more than willing to help me. I told her an idea of what I wanted and for how many people and she recommended some and let me taste each one! Everything she recommended was perfect and sooo delicious. I ended up getting the Thomasville Thome (a great hard cheese that is easy to eat and goes with anything), Robert's Robiola (an excellent soft cheese), Daikin's Dairy Spicy Cheddar (awesome spicy twist to cheddar), Lomo (smoked pork loin, super yum), and Barley Swine Salame (wonderful salami that pairs great with my picks). It's also located next to a wine shop so it makes for a great stop for all your wine and cheese needs. I highly recommend stopping here and trying out some of the options. I will definitely be back! read more

Take. My. Money! This is absolutely my go to place for all of my charcuterie needs! The owner is always there and give fantastic suggestions if you're feeling indecisive. Even now that I have move from Riverside out to the intracoastal area, I drive back to my favorite cheese shop whenever I'm looking to make a board! read more

"Picnic Row" is the area on Edgewood Ave recently dubbed by an article on Bloom Reality. Indeed, after you load up gourmet cheese and charcuterie from Grater Goods you can hop right next door to Bernie's Wine Shop to pair wine with your newly acquired picnic goodies! Why Grater Goods rocks: * The owner Jennifer Harvey lets you TRY any cheese in the store to see if you like it before purchasing and gives stellar recommendations based on your preferences. * If you don't want to purchase the entire portion of cheese, no problem! She will cut it down to size based on your budget. * The owner SAVES the information on your purchases so on future visits you don't have to have memory like an Elephant to remember the name of that fantastic stilton with apricot. * She also frequently has cheese and wine tasting events on Friday evenings! Do yourself a favor and get the Reypenaer V.S.O.P! This aged Gouda explodes in your mouth to give you visions of angelic singing on the mountaintops in the Netherlands. It is seriously one of the best cheeses I have ever had! We were extremely happy with our purchase and made a wonderful "Vacation spread" for a romantic date! http://www.bloomrealty.com/blog/murray-hills-picnic-row- read more

Grater Goods is such a gem to have nearby. I hadn't been in until my dad sent a cheese gift basket for Christmas. Jennifer, the owner, dropped it off at our house and we dug in -- some unusual cheeses plus an A+ goose salami, all excellent. I then stopped by a few days to check out the store, and picked up a few gifts for people (there are some really cool jams, chocolate bars, that type of thing) plus some guanciale for a pasta dish I wanted to make (outstanding). Jennifer also told me she keeps track of the cheeses customers purchase, so if you come back looking for some more of that hard/soft/goat/cow/whatever cheese you bought a couple months ago, she can steer you the right way. Fantastic shop. read more

Called ahead and ordered a charcuterie board for 4 people. My box was waiting for me when I arrived. The presentation was beautiful and the assortment was top notch. Picked up 2 bottles of wine and it was a perfect evening. I will definitely be going back. I feel like I found a secret gem! Don't miss this place!!! read more

So excited about this new cheese shop in Murray hill! I walked in right before they closed and the owner did not rush me and provided ample tastings before I made my selection. I chose an amazing stilton, gouda, Truffle chevre, aged goat cheese crottin, this amazing ginger pepperoni stick that tasted more like ginger peppered salami, and an amazing package of aged parmesan crisps. I will definitely become a regular here. They have a nice selection of cheese, cured meat, jams and jellies plus they also sell cute cheese fondue sets and cheese boards. It seems like the owner really tries to provide local cheese and cured meat and I am excited to see this store grow. I would recommend the possibility of selling community loaves bread because after I got all my goodies at 7pm, I really wished I have a good baguette to pair with the cheese and eat but community loaves was already closed. read more

This place is absolutely adorable! The shop has a variety of specialty cheeses, charcuterie, jams, crackers, and kitchen accessories. The owner is SOOO helpful! We went in not knowing what we wanted or even what "types" of cheese we really liked and she was very patient with letting us try several types and then explaining what we could pair them each with. I would definitely recommend! Parking is pretty limited but we didn't have any issues. Next door is a wine shop that you can stop in after and grab a bottle! read more

I can not believe what just happened- I went to walk into the shop with my MEDICAL service animal and before I can even get through the door, the owner shouts at me "you can not bring your animal this is a good shop." I've never been so embarrassed in my life. read more

Love this shop! The owner was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I was pleasantly surprised by the plethora of items available in this shop beyond the cheese - jams, crackers, charcuterie, and drink mixes. read more

If I could give this store 10 stars I would. If you love cheese this is well worth the drive from anywhere in the Jacksonville metropolitan area. The selection is amazing, the cheese which is all from small American dairies rivals any cheeses we have tasted in Spain, France or Italy. The selection of all lives is very very good and the pates and Charcuterie when sampled all together makes for the perfect meal. There is nothing enjoy more than picking up some fine crackers, cheeses, pates, meats and olives to enjoy a romantic dinner on the terrace. You can even pick up great lines right next-door and fresh bread down the street as long as you arrive before 3 PM. It's in a fantastic artsy area and is owner operated. I can't imagine anyone not loving the shop. read more

I'm so excited about this place being in my neighborhood! It's such a wonderful unique addition. The build out is lovely. The cheese selection is awesome and a lot of local products provided. Not only is there cheese but other goodies you'd pair with cheese, like unique crackers, jams, olives, beautiful boards, etc. The owner is very kind and knowledgeable. If you're looking to get a cheese and are unsure, she'll also let you sample them. We've gone in a few times and told her what I was making and she paired it so well. Dinners have always been delicious with her suggestions. Social media is such a great tool I do wish hers was updated. The place and product are gorgeous, her free means of advertisement should match. If you're needing cheese go to Grater Goods in Murray Hill!! read more

Exciting addition to Murray hill and located perfectly next to Bernies Wine. I'm excited to get a great selection to make a cheese board and the hot honey is definitely on my wish list. Today I got the olive crack salad and added it to baked eggs. read more

Fabulous little specialty store with super stuff in addition to beautiful cheeses. It's in the heart of the Murray Hill shopping district. Don't miss this shop! read more

Ok... So I have been remiss. I don't normally review stores (just restaurants) but this is different. I have lived in Jacksonville for 22 years and have looked for a good cheese shop everywhere. Luckily a couple of years ago my Mother in law noticed a small write up about Grater Goods in a local magazine. I've been a fairly regular customer ever since. Jennifer introduced me to a line of Goat and Cow's Milk cheeses from the Boxcarr Cheese producers in North Carolina.... Hands down my favorite American cheese producers. Jennifer is very knowledgeable about her products and has recommended some of my new favorites to me in spite of my trepidation. She has an honest gift for selecting both her cheeses and her charcuterie (hand crafted Salamis, Pates, and Meats). As many others have noted Jennifer is friendly, open, knowledgeable and unpretentious, you don't have to KNOW Cheese to enjoy a visit. Visit, Sample, Buy and Enjoy!! read more

Love this place! So many tasty options and fantastic customer service. The staff is kind and always willing to help!

I did a wine/cheese/chocolate pairing with my fiancée a few months ago, had a fantastic time the offering were excellent and I enjoyed the experience. read more

This place is a mini Murray's Cheesier in NYC. It's a fancy cheese shop in Murray Hill. Now Murray's in one of our have to stop every time we are on the city. The owner Jennifer is so sweet and she loves her cheese. We got to talk about everything from cheese to meats and even her super deluxe slicer. She does carry everything that you might need in the cheese and serving meat world. From boards, knifes, and a few cute gadgets. The samples of cheese were all over the flavor world. The brie was sweet and gooey. the other were good and some weren't so good. But then that's why they make chocolate ice cream. Everybody don't like vanilla. She also carries a few charcuterie meats (my favorite) the salami's were great and a pancetta was so good I had to carry some home with me. Heck I have some pancetta coming out of my Curing Chamber today and hitting the slicer. I will probably be a regular here real soon. After all "It's not easy Being Cheesy" read more

Charcuterie and cheese plus all the stuff that's makes each even better, such as fruit paste, preserves , crackers. All small batch , artisan type stuff. Really excellent gem of a spot. Let's help them flourish, Jacksonville. We deserve places like this. read more

Jennifer (i believe) is a great help in offering samples. Love the cajun cheese curds and Gouda.

LOVED shopping at Grater Goods to create a gorgeous charcuterie board for a dinner party. The lady (can't remember her name!) was so nice and so helpful! She offered some samples to help me pick just the right cheeses. There are some cured meats, olives, but mixes, honey, pepper jelly, preserves, cheese knives, boards, everything you need! Plus Wine Down is right next door to help you create perfect pairings. It was the fanciest thing I did all day. So fun! Check it out. read more

Love this place! Jennifer's knowledge of cheese is vast and helps me broaden my knowledge as well as try new things. I also love that she uses all types of suppliers -- small to large to bring in local and regional products. As a Realtor, I will be using Grater Goods to purchase my for platters for open house's as well as Buyer and Seller gifts... Can't go wrong and it's more than just Cheese... Stop in, Tell her that Theresa Robertson sent you! read more

No longer will I have to drive all the way to Orlando to get my cheese fix. I walked in after the day they opened and I was pleasantly surprised. She was still waiting on some of her orders to arrive so she still didn't have a full selection but what she did have was delicious and if she didn't have it she is willing to order it for you which just awesome. I can't wait to visit again when they're fully stocked. Oh they have a great assortment of jams,honey, cheese boards and knives too. read more

Wish Jacksonville could support more specialty shops like this! U have to check it out if you have never been, true hidden gem!
