I went back up and asked and he couldn't be bothered. Said oh well, must be out. Sat back down on his chair. Thanks for the customer assistance.

You could visit a lot of them to sample everything, or you could save time and come here. The selection is equally impressive for their liquors (especially their whiskeys) and their wines. The staff are very helpful too. And if this is your first time here making a significant purchase, you can get a discount with your Yelp check-in as well.

This place has a wonderful selection of liquor. I was looking for a certain bottle of tequila for…read morethe holidays. Every place was out. I tried this out of desperation. The nice clerk told me he was out but would look out back to see if a shipment came in. He came out with the right bottle and told me it's been on hold for someone but they failed to grab it. SCORE!!! then he did something that really made my day. HE CARDED ME!!! I'm pushing 50 so you could just imagine my delight! I asked him if he accepted tips. All kidding aside, hit up this place. They are a gem!

Perk's is quite small: it seems like the selection has been curated to mainly carry the…read moreessentials/mainstream options. Only one bottle on the shelf for each SKU they carry. Picked up a whisky and a bourbon that I was looking for; but, to be fair, could get anywhere. The shelves of the walk-in beer cave were empty when I visited; there were just a few cases stacked up in the center on the floor. Maybe I came between deliveries? Their website says they have a huge selection but... that's not what I experienced. Lots of parking as it's located in a stripmall! I'm sure they're a convenient stop for people who live near Payne Road. I had limited interaction with the staff; like other reviewers said, they didn't greet me or ask me if I needed help, just cashed me out. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but I appreciated that I could get in and out quite quickly.

Great Location, Great Website and Cute Store and EXCELLENT parking options. It's not a large store, which is great in so many ways, but it also can limit the selection available. The good news not only did we find a hard to find beer, Oskar Blues - Ten Fidy, we also found some other gems while we were waiting for the online order to be filled. Imperial Maple Sunday made by Lone Pine and Orange Duct Tape by Stoneface. The checkout process was easy. There was a bit of brief confusion when we arrived. I had placed my order after 8pm and the gentleman running the store seemed confused as he hadn't seen it by the time we came in the next day at 1:30 (they open at 11am). It was fine, because they hadn't sold my pre-ordered beer. It did make me a bit nervous. The experience was pleasant. If there is something specific you are looking for, I would recommend going online first to order, or call ahead. It's a smallish store, so you may have to ask for a special order. The store was very clean and organized and good dates on the beers we were looking at. Also some single cans available to buy - which I love so I'm not stuck with 3 cans of beer I didn't like. I would recommend checking this place out, especially if you are in the area. I will definitely bookmark them as a place to easily order beer online for curbside/in-store(masked) pick up.

I love that Hops and Vine exists. Being centrally located, it's always convenient to stop in when…read moreI'm in Gorham. There is plenty of parking as well which is a must when you're buying heavy, liquid filled cans and bottles. First off, they carry a lot of local beer and spirits which is critical because it's the best. Second, they have one of those cool walk in refrigerators, if you're into the domestic stuff. Third, you can special order a lot of stuff directly through their distributor. I did this over the summer with Oxbow Surf Melon hose because I couldn't find the beer anywhere and wasn't willing to go to Oxbow itself. They put the order in and called a week or so later when they had it in the shop for me. I went in, paid and was out the door. SO good to know you can do that! To finish off, the biggest lesson I've learned is NOT to drive into Portland to buy new flavors of seltzer at Apres because Hops and Vine will have it! I always go out of my way to go to Portland to get the newest Apres and then end up at Hopes and Vine soon after and kick myself when I see the special flavor I drove to Portland for.

Most people visit The Cheese Iron for their sandwiches (understandably so; we've had them, and they…read moreare delicious!), but for me, the beauty of this place is in its cheese and deli meats. We make a lot of fresh pasta at home, and they always have the freshest ingredients to take our recipe to the next level. For example, many Italian recipes call for guanciale (Italian cured pork), and we could never find it locally until we visited The Cheese Iron. We had to settle for pancetta until we found this gem of a spot. Their focaccia and baguettes are delicious, and their cheeses are always fresh. They also are the only place we've seen locally that carries Lioni Latticini burrata, which is, without a doubt, the best burrata we've ever tried. We stopped buying commercial burrata altogether after trying that brand. Plus, their customer service is unmatched -- everyone is always welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Those little (and big!) elements continue to bring us back to The Cheese Iron. I'm so, so happy The Cheese Iron exists in Scarborough.
