You could make a great spread for a party or special occasion with their utensils, plates and napkins. We spent about a half hour talking about cheeses and sampling several, learning about how they were made, with what products, the backstory to the cheeses and farms and so much more. It was wonderful! We came home with an assortment of cow, goat and sheep cheeses. We will definitely be back to try more!

Of course, this is a specialty shop and it's kind of pricey but you get really high quality. I'll be back.

They responded to my Instagram messages when they were restocking, which was an awesome start. When I arrived, I was pleased to find such a sweet shop with some any wonderful things. I ended up getting some recommendations from them on what to buy for an afternoon snack, and then I posted up on the couch with my cheese and crackers while I enjoyed them. There are all sorts of cheeses and accoutrements, along with gift options, speciality groceries, etc. If you find yourself in the area, it's a great choice!!

Yes, it's a little pricey but you're getting top quality goods. There are a few dedicated parking spaces directly in front of the store as well as on- street & public parking around Wayland Square. The staff is always friendly & helpful. I've attended fun events there, such as their annual anniversary celebration & cheese bingo. Lovely place when you feel like treating yourself.

Cheese is one of my favorite snacks, so of course I had to stop by! I had seen this place in a…read morevideo before visiting Wickford Village and wanted to check it out for myself. Even though it was the off-season, the store was surprisingly busy. They have so many different varieties of cheese, and I loved that they had plenty of samples already cut up with toothpicks so you could try them before buying. I sampled a few, and they were excellent! I will say, the smell when you first walk in is definitely strong, not necessarily the best smell, but it is a cheese shop after all! Besides cheese, they also carry sauces, pastas, and several other specialty items. The lady working at the counter was very friendly and helpful. I didn't purchase anything on this visit because I mainly wanted to stop in, look around, and experience this well-known local spot. If you're visiting Wickford Village and you're a cheese lover like me, it's definitely worth popping in and sampling a few!

5 Stars because I am DREAMING about this shop a week later. Pro-tip: Ask about the sourdough bread…read morefrom a bakery in NY! The moment you walk in to this shop you are very much aware that they specialize in high quality cheese. It's stinky, y'all. But in the best way! There are samples everywhere (grab a toothpick thooo!) and the cheeses range in prices. I'd think this is the perfect spot to hit up before a dinner party or for a killer hostess gift. They also have tons of artisanal pastas, crackers, butter, etc. David helped us as we were actually in search of a really good loaf of sourdough. He explained that their loaves come from a bakery in NY that has used the same starter for over 100 years. They get the loaves parbaked so they can bake them fresh in the shop. You can opt for a full loaf or half, OR get it parbaked and finish it at your house for a fresh baked loaf at home! If I lived within 30 minutes of this shop, I'd be back for the bread alone. The staff is super knowledgeable and seemed eager to help explain any specialty item (with tastings!). This will be a MUST next time I'm in RI!

Labeled "Asiago Vintage" it shaved up perfectly for the pasta meal that I prepared. Delicious tasting and yummy with a rich nutty flavor. The label clearly shows how fresh it is, not even a week from the "Packed On" date.

If I get to Foxboro, I'll be heading to the Lawton's Family Farm to experience Foxboro Cheese company directly.

We drove all the way from the South Shore for one of the "Grand Tasting" events at Life Love…read moreCheese, but unfortunately, the trip was a complete letdown. The atmosphere felt chaotic and poorly organized from the moment we arrived. In addition, several vendors and offerings promised in the event marketing were nowhere to be found. For a ticketed "grand tasting," the cheese selection was surprisingly basic, focusing on standard fare like basic cheddar and colby jack rather than unique, artisanal varieties. The pairings were scattered randomly around the store like an unintended scavenger hunt, and the drink tastings felt rushed and performative amidst the surrounding disorganization. The service only made matters worse. The store's staff appeared visibly stressed and uncoordinated; while waiting in line to use the restroom after our long drive, two separate team members approached to scold us for being inside the store early. To make matters more uncomfortable, we overheard the owner nearly reprimand an employee before stopping herself when she noticed customers were nearby. Basic inquiries were met with subtle side-eye and dismissive energy, making us feel unwelcome throughout the visit. A feeling further compounded as people of color in an environment where we felt distinctly out of place. We left very hungry and thoroughly disappointed after paying for a ticketed experience. We won't be returning.
