Had a great visit here! The shop is so cute and has so many goodies, I could have spent the whole afternoon looking at all the different cheese/sides/breads and meat! The woman who helped us was also great, knew her stuff and was very friendly. Will certainly be back for more cheese and to try the sandwiches! read more

The staff at Monger's Palate thoughtfully explains each of their cheese recommendations to help you make a delicious charcuterie plate. I have been ordering from here for years and trust all of their selections - every plate made with their help gets a compliment from my friends. Fantastic cheeses and hams are of course on hand, but also important additions like honey, crackers, cornichons, and fresh breads - if you're not hosting, you can stop here for lunch and grab a sandwich made with all of these wonderful ingredients. read more

Excellent experience every time, delicious wonderful art boards of meats, cheese, fruits and nuts. Highly recommend read more

Best cheese shop in the city! Exemplary array of international cheeses and extremely knowledgeable staff. Cannot recommend more highly

Ordered 4 sandwiches May 29 at 12:30. Whoever made the sandwiches left their hair in one of them. Disgusting! read more

Carol (the owner) has always taken care of our family whenever we've ordered a charcuterie board. And every single board we've had has been fantastic. I cannot recommend this place enough based on how much love and effort she puts into each board. Thank you so much! Trust me, each board is beautiful and worth every penny!!! read more

Sandwich was pretty good - got the turkey and cheese. Price wasn't too bad for the size.

We ordered a large charcuterie and cheese board for cocktails at our event (~20 guests). It was beautiful and delicious! read more

Monger's Palate - Large charcuterie and cheese board - Cheese Shops Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

UNSANITARY. Stopped by on NYE to splurge on a cheese board but saw another customer with a large wet dirty furry dog just hanging by the cheese display. I couldn't believe it so I asked if they actually allow dogs inside (which is obviously a violation of Dept of Health code); the owner responded "Yes" so I left. The front space is *tiny*, maybe 5x10, so imagine having a dog that just rolled around in dirt at a dog run just walk in there and pant all over the fresh bread basket... At a time when good food is becoming more and more expensive, this place is a joke. Service has always been comically slow (think Monty Python cheese shop skit), but this does it. If you are allergic/civically minded/don't want contaminants in your food, do not patronize. You can get your Tomme de Chèvre someplace where they respect the health code. read more

When schedules align between two parents for an impromptu date night, you take advantage! But it's not always easy (or possible) to get a decent reservation in NYC. Enter Carol's amazing charcuterie boards, which she was able to pull together on short notice and get to us (across town!) in time for a beautiful rooftop sunset picnic. Couldn't have been happier with the spread of meats, cheeses, breads, and other accouterments. Will definitely order again, thanks Carol! read more

Monger's Palate - a glass of wine and a plate of food - Cheese Shops Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I love this cheese shop. They have an incredibly curated collection of cheeses and cheese board accoutrements. I was in Paris last year and bought a few jars of whole grain dijon thinking I would never get the opportunity to buy it again--and then Monger's had it! Staff is so knowledgeable and always give great recommendations. I could go here every day. read more

Very nice charcuterie shop. Server's are very helpful and patient. They have a excellent assortment and selection. Love, love, love them...

We were hosting a small get together celebration and our catering plan fell through at the last minute! Called Monger's Palate and Carol set us up with charcuterie and sandwich platters for 10 on short notice. The spread was gorgeous and we loved the selection. The price is very reasonable for the quality. This neighborhood spot flies under the radar, but they really know what they're doing. Glad to have a reliable cheese monger! Will definitely be going back! read more

Ugh. Lurve to the lurve what is UP! Realized the depth of my lurve as I skulked through Whole Foods yesterday and meh-ed the cheese section all wrapped in plastics. Here, you can have a CONVERSATION! About CHEESE! And you can taste as much as you want and then ask for advice about flavors and pairings. This is therapeutic, tactile, slow food. Once upon a time I got one of those prick tests for food allergies and it made a grid of circles on my arm, and all but one had a reaction (you know where this is going, and yeah, gross for mentioning bodies in a review about food, nice job bish) Does a dairy allergy stop me? Not with places like this next door. In fact, I make sure I eat cheese so that I keep that allergy in check. Show it who's boss. Enough with you snooze fest food phobes. Waltz in, fill your arms and heart with all the cheese and all the baguettes you can shake a stick at. Love. read more

Superbly selected cheeses. Kept in good form. Knowledgeable cheese monger. Way better than Bedford cheese ever was.

I came here on Saturday to get cheese for a charcuterie board for a party. The owner, who has previous experience at Murray's cheese was very knowledgeable and helpful in my cheese selection. I got one cows milk, a sheep's milk, and a soft goat with truffle paste in it. I also bought some crackers for the plate as well. They also have a sandwich menu so I want to return and try them out! read more

The selection is small but very high quality. The choice of products are well thought out. Cheese selections are great and the owner is very happy and patient with helping chose something. Especially someone like me who does not know a ton about cheese. Sure have no issues eating it! The sandwiches are amazingly fresh and balanced on the palette. I'm a fan of any one of them that had the pretzel bread. So delicious. I believe Monger's Palate also does picnic baskets and other special things. Worth asking. It's nice to have a place like this on this side of Greenpoint. read more

This is strictly a sandwich review. I ordered two sandwiches for lunch and they were terrible. The pig and fig and turkey. There was barely any filling on the turkey sandwich, maybe 2-3 slices. The pig and fig had shredded prosciutto, maybe 1 slice of it was put back together like a puzzle, and was drenched in fig jam. The baguettes they served for the sandwiches were doughy and not like the crispy ones that were for sale. I spent $24 on two sandwiches that rival the worst I ever had (which was a prepackaged airplane sandwich). Just totally disappointing. I wanted to love it bc it's so close to the park and their products are high quality. But their sandwiches? Overpriced and just not good. I ended up throwing them both out. Step up the sandwich game and you'd have a great all around place. read more

I have been buying cheese, cured meats, and other delicious products from Monger's Palate for a few months now and I feel very fortunate to live near to this gem of an establishment. Lisa and Carol are incredibly knowledgeable with regard to the products they sell and have helped me put together amazing cheese (not charcuterie) boards for those nearest and dearest to me. Their carefully sourced cheeses and cured meats are of superb quality and extremely reasonably priced. I tried purchasing similar cheeses at Whole Foods and Wegmans and found that Monger's chesses are around the same price or, in some instances, less expensive. I am looking forward to continuing to support their business in the months to come. Thank you! read more

Great cheese shop in Greenpoint with a good selection of artisanal and farmstead cheeses, both domestic and international. Try the sandwiches as well, they are excellent! I love coming here to try new cheeses, Lisa is very patient with me :) read more

Monger's Palate - Outdoor wood sign, 192 Driggs Ave Brooklyn - Cheese Shops Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

If I lived in Brooklyn, I would have to walk twice the average NYC resident to work off all the food I'd eat from this place. It's really amazing. For a small cheesemonger's store, it packs a lot of punch. They have breads, many different kinds of cheeses, some selections of other items like meats and olives, and it's a paradise for the eyes and stomach. Their dried pasta selections were really enticing, as well. Visit this place, and be ready to spend money. It's good value, but you'll walk away buying tons of stuff. Ask for tastes. read more

If you want great quality food from a local business, take your taste buds and wallet here! Lisa is incredibly helpful each time I visit. I always leave with the perfect cheeses and appetizers for new recipes and parties. Every catering platter that comes out of her shop is nothing short of stunning. Stop by and try what's new at the best little cheese shop in Greenpoint! read more

Not a huge Yelp review person, and then yesterday I realized this place needed a lil recognition! Love Monger's Palate so much! Great selection of meats and cheeses, other products are fantastic, and the sandwiches are SO GOOD. Can't stress enough how happy I am this is in the neighborhood. All that said, yesterday weirdly knocked it all out of the park. My bf and I got the "picnic for two" special and that's why I wanted to write a review - it was that good! Sometimes cheese plates fall short - not enough food, not as high of quality cheeses in them, etc - and this was fab! Lisa (the owner and monger) is just fantastic, especially if you need recommendations for a new cheese to try or what to get for a given recipe. PS - The BAT is one of the best sandwiches ever read more

I had Monger's Palate cater an event produced by my company. They did an incredible job! The assortment of cheeses and meats was amazing and attendees could not get enough. On top of that the team at Monger's was easy to work with before, during and after the event. They went above and beyond! read more

Carol and her staff are the best. Amazing cheese and bread and honey and salami and so much more. This store is not great for your waistline, but diet be damned!! Its all delicious!! So grateful they're here. read more
