By trying some of them, we found a couple of cheeses that we took home. So delicious... you really can't go wrong with many, even with the weird flavors.

Cheese, cheese and more cheese! One side of the place is alllllll the cheese. The other is the…read moregift shop. There are so many varieties of cheese available. Everything like traditional cheddar and swiss to more unique options like veggie, and buffalo wing. Most of the cheese had samples. It was a perfect way to get a sense of the differences between some of the varieties (standard vs smoked vs aged for example). Most cheese could be purchased in blocks, slices and cubes. They also had some beef stick options, dips and cheese fudge. I had never heard of cheese fudge before so was very intrigued. It had a different texture and flavor than traditional fudge but was definitely worth trying. They also have traditional fudge on the other side of the store. There were workers behind the counter actively packing cheese and willing to answer any questions you might have. Much like other tourist attractions, you have to walk through the gift shop to get to the cash registers. The line was kind of long, but it moved fairly quickly. This was a great stop with a lot of tasty products. Definitely recommend a visit!

I visited in July 2025 with some friends. We were visiting Ohio Amish country for the day and…read moredecided to stop by this store. My friends really wanted to visit the Guggisberg cheese factory but they were closed for the day. This store offers not only cheese but other smaller grocery and household items such as butter, apple butter, mugs, t-shirts, etc. I don't like cheese so I didn't buy any cheese. My friends may have bought small cheese blocks but I can't remember. They did sample some cheese which they liked. MY PURCHASES -- I bought an Italian bread dipping mix which is a small tin of herbs. I finally tried the dip in April 2026 by adding olive oil the dipping bread in it. The spice mix is too strong so I don't like it that much and I don't believe it was made locally. I also bought Apple butter which is locally made and tastes good. The Apple butter is too sweet for me though so I've hardly eaten it but it goes well with toast. If you're in the area, stop by this local store. The back of the store is cute because of a little fountain and a well-kept lawn. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 87/250 total reviews in 2026 - 928 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 19 May 2026

Part deli, part gift shop, part factory. This cheese shop's…read moreclaim to fame is is that they are the creators of baby swiss. They are apparently now one of the largest manufacturers of swiss cheese in the US. When you enter, there is a shop which is a combination of gift shop, cheese accessories and grocery items. There is signage that shows off their awards, talks about some of their history and also takes about the difference between regular and baby swiss. The deli where you can get freshly sliced cheese is in the back. The clerks were extremely friendly answering questions and providing samples of anything you want to try. Much like the outside, the inside continues the swiss theme. The reason I gave it four instead of five stars is the space itself. It was really congested even though it wasn't really all that crowded. I can't imagine what it would be like on a busier day. J don't know what, if anything can be done about this that, but it definitely can be hard yo navigate if you have mobility issues or don't like crowds. Oh and the cheese hats are a fun nice touch.

The employees were also nice and friendly. You can see them making the pretzels fresh from scratch, skillfully shaping them in one quick, fluid motion. These are probably the best soft pretzels I've ever had! The traditional pretzel had a bit of a crunchy crust on the outside with a soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet interior. It was dipped in a vat of butter and had just the right amount of salt. The cheddar cheese sauce that I ordered on the side paired perfectly with it (tasting better than the highly processed nacho cheese sauce, but they have that as option too). I also tried the cinnamon sugar pretzel, which was delicious and had a generous coating of it, but I still like the traditional more. These pretzels are top notch and I would absolutely come back anytime I'm in the area (and maybe try the pretzel dog next time)!

They have an abundance of parking and every kind of cheese you can imagine. I appreciate that they had staff cutting and handing you samples instead of samples sitting out. There were plenty of staff to answer any question you may have and you could request a sample of any cheese. They actually encouraged you to try the cheese. We walked out of the cheese barn with a bag full of goodies and stroll across the courtyard to the candy shop. I was told Sweeties was a new addition. They had so many options it was overwhelming. The two stores could multiple charcuterie boards. We ended up with a bag full of sweets also. The courtyard was very cute and welcoming. As we were leaving an Amish man arrived in his horse drawn carriage to sell homemade baskets. It was nice to see a larger business supporting a small business. I would not hesitate to stop on my next trip.

Their shipping speeds tend to be on the slow side, but recently it's crawled to an almost complete halt.

It looks like I'll have to take action on this last order of mine to get satisfaction. I hate to say it, but this will be my last order from them. It's just not worth the aggravation.
