Excellent! I give this adorable place 5 out of 5 stars. The dinner and cheese selection was superb. The staff couldn't be nicer. read more

I heard about this place a while back and finally got a chance to check it out. The space consists of two rooms - a store and a sit down restaurant. On the restaurant side - we got waited on by a very attentive and polite waiter who explained the menu items in great detail. I have to say that the selection is interesting - some unexpected combinations of ingredient on the assortment of sandwiches. I had a hard time picking just one. We finally settled on "fig and pig" and salmon croissant. Both didn't disappoint! Croissant came with a copious amount of smoked salmon over a jam spread. I wouldn't think about such pairing- but it worked! Fig and pig entailed bacon over a goat cheese spread and jam. Another great one. I'm intrigued and will make another trip to try other offerings. The store side had a good selection of wine, deli meats, large selection of cheese and gourmet selections of chocolate. When I say gourmet I'm talking flavors I've not heard of before- like mushroom, and much more. And not cheap (so must be good?? ). I'd like to return when I have more time and explore the store some more. read more

Cool wine and cheese shop and charcuterie board city! Really nice shop and so many good cheese, cracker, chocolate and wine items! Cute restaurant attached for cheese lovers as well. read more

Very knowledgeable and accommodating staff. The selection of items in the store is varied and plentiful. We ordered a sub to go and it was incredible. I think if you are in the area you should check it out, you won't be disappointed. Peace read more

Limited street parking, nearby free public lots, including behind the building. Located in downtown Berkley, the walkable part. A deli/high end specialty grocery store, with high end cheese/wine/beer... Prepared food to go and an attached dining area under the name 'Rind.' Staff was great, prices were high but not extreme, the to-go food was actually pretty reasonable. read more

What do I say. The service is TOP NOTCH. Best waiter EVER. He was completely out of everything but still made it work, he made us a special dessert since they were out of pistachio ice cream, so he used what was left of it and mixed it in with some kind of vanilla, and served it with love. Delicious, GOD I love pistachio. It felt so familiar walking in, but nothing I haven't seen before. I've been wanting to come back and order some of there meats at the deli-like place across the interior, definitely some kind of meat-store/bar/restaurant. Loved everything except the blood orange expresso drink I ordered, truly blasphemous taste. 4/5 read more

Enjoyed an expertly prepared meal, soup and a "bowl" dish. Gourmet level. Restaurant setting is simple and highly civilized - very nice. Overall is clean with abundant daylight, the way I like it. Service was very good. The waiter was attentive. Especially considering the arrival of several patrons after we sat down, including a large group who apparently agreed to celebrate their reunion there. The store portion of Mongers' is presented in an artistic country store aesthetically pleasing way. Including a deli counter serving above average quality goods. read more

I love a good Muffaletta, but $19 is a high ask. For any sandwich. Some of their provisions are kind of high as well, like the tinned fish I can actually get cheaper at Plum Market or Western market. read more

Great service ! Very good selection of charcuterie cheeses, chocolates and wine. Nice vibe with the "Rind" , the restaurant they have next door as well. read more

Third visit The Rind. Food was great. Service was great. Cool place. Attached to Mongers' Provisions gourmet market. read more

We love coming to Mongers' to explore new ingredients, meats, cheeses, treats, and drinks. This location is bigger and has more items than the Detroit location, but we love visiting both. You can order your food at the counter, sit at one of the tables near the front windows, and they'll bring it out to you. It always smells amazing from the grilled cheese sandwiches and other food they're making. Service is always great; the staff is ready and willing to help answer any questions and/or recommend whatever you fancy. I appreciate that they have gluten free options. I love the Flaming Fig grilled cheese with the Tomato Soup and olives, while my boyfriend really likes their GTO. There is a restaurant connected where you can get some more options and drinks, so we'll have to try that, too! I only wish they had a larger salt selection, and I'll keep coming back to check. read more

I am so glad this place opened as I have always wanted a specialty store close to me. Now I can get all my prosciutto, salami and mortadella for the best Italian sammies! They have fabulous cheeses, jams, charcuterie, and all the accompaniments for sale in delightful Berkley. They also have a fun selection of drinks that you definitely will want to check out. read more

I absolutely love this place! From their cheese, meat, and provision selection, to their wine, grilled cheeses, and tomato soup, this place is the BOMB! Zach the head honcho Cheese Monger is so very kind and a delight. Every monger is very educated about cheese and happy to teach you about everything in the store. The store is very clean and aesthetic. Everything is very well organized and easy to find. I love shopping around and finding new products to try. I especially love Amy, she is very nice and easy to talk to. read more

Mongers' Provisions - GTO grilled cheese and tomato soup - Cheese Shops Near Me - Berkley, Michigan

We wandered in here one day while doing some Christmas shopping, and I was very pleasantly surprised by what I found. The assortment of meats, cheeses, tinned fish, chocolates, and wines are top notch. It seems to be more expensive than other local options, but the quality is definitely there. Everything was so tasty and people were raving about everything we bought from here. We will definitely be back to try some other options. I am very intrigued by the grilled cheese sandwiches they make on the spot! read more

I didn't even know that they was a Mongers' Provisions in downtown Berkley, but was absolutely thrilled to find this out! It's closer in location to me and offers seemingly everything the Midtown Detroit location does, but is even bigger of a space, so offers even more! There is a proper small sit down area where you can order a sandwich at the counter and eat inside. The walls are filled with different drink selections to peruse and is especially great for extremely unique food and drink gifts! The staff are knowledgeable, I was looking to find a gift for someone and was very specific in what I was looking for and they were able to point me in the right direction! And if you're looking to order sandwiches here, just be aware that their kitchen closes earlier than the storefront does, and that they generally will sell out of certain items on their menu on busier days as well! read more

I could live at Mongers. Seriously. Cheese. Bread. Grilled cheese. Chocolate. Accoutrements. Yes. A thousand times, yes. read more

Mongers' Provisions - Interior - Cheese Shops Near Me - Berkley, Michigan

Let's get one thing straight. The pics for the FDale location are for the bigger location down in Midtown Detroit. The location here in Ferndale it's just a kiosk inside the Rust belt market building. It's very small and it's maybe a quarter of the stack and variety of the bigger location in Detroit. The pictures from the Ferndale location on the Yelp is deceiving. Keep in mind the Ferndale location is only a small kiosk. There is a smaller variety of cheeses and chocolates. The woman behind the counter it was very friendly and helpful and kin there is a smaller variety of cheeses and chocolates. The woman behind the counter it was very friendly and helpful. She let me try the Cote, comte, red dragon, truffle, Gouda, blue cheese, white cheddar, Parmesan Reg, Swiss. I tried a $12 Bar of chocolate with caramel bites. The truffle, white cheddar, Comte and Parmesan were all good. Cheese wedges and chocolate bars are on the pricey side. Bummer this location isn't bigger. $26.76 for two smaller wedges of Parmesan. read more

We've been given Mongers gifts once or twice but hadn't had a chance yet to visit their newer store in Berkley. We wanted to get some items for a gift bag to thank someone for hosting us, and not, did we have fun picking! Mongers space here us bright and clean. Great meat and cheese counter and lots of wine, beer, pantry gourmet items such as spreads, crackers, pastas, olives--you name it! Highly recommend read more

A little on the pricier side, but worth it for the quality. They have a nice selection of quality meats and cheese as well as wine/beer! And didn't realize before, but they have sandwiches! Sandwich with your pick of cornichons or olives - really tasted. Stopped in recently to have some with a beverage from the fridge. Seems like it is mostly grilled cheese - my husband had a tasty one with some meat and fig jam. I had the sandwich on special - some type of turkey reuben - was really good! Great place to stop for a gift or for items for a nice charcuterie board. Also - saw on their website you can order charcuterie boards that they'll make for you - looks like in normal sizes or for a bigger event. I'll have to try this soon. Also - noted they have some nice pasta options and 00 flour (which I often have a hard time finding) for homemade pasta making! read more

Visited Mongers' Provisions recently (not the first time), and was motivated to Yelp this interesting business. Similar to Zingerman's (another favorite) in its wide selection of unusual food items - both fresh and canned - Mongers' carries cheeses from unusual locations, and beverages that were completely new to us. We split a Wagyu pastrami Reuben, with chips and 2 different drinks from the aforementioned unusual selection. As a side, we could choose either gherkins, olives or dried apricots - we got the latter: a different side for a pastrami sandwich, but one that worked well. Seating was limited, but we were able to find a table. They had tomato as the regular soup: we passed on that one. A second soup is usually offered, but was not this time, as it was a holiday weekend. For beverages, I chose a lemonade from Italy, while the co-diner got a flavored water from a different purveyor than he had encountered previously. Prices were on the high side, but by splitting the sandwich, we were satisfied and didn't break the budget. A roomier dining area opens at 5 pm, and the menu is much more extensive at that time of day. This place is worth a try for the adventurous eater, for whom a drive to A2 might be a bit too far. read more

I want to like this place more. I like this concept, but they missed the mark. My friend and I had boards. First the staff had to go back to the kitchen to get answers for questions about cheeses, charcuterie, and wines. For what they charge, the staff should know and have tried everything and made notes about each item. What we had was honestly not worth what we paid. It was not bad, but just not worth the prices. Love the rustic decor and seating. read more

Great products and great customer service. Ability to try cheeses and meats from the front before buying. I enjoy the single can cider and wine choices read more

Amazing selection and incredibly kind, knowledgable, and helpful mongers! My partner and I are returning customers and whenever we stop by we always ask ourselves why we don't come more often. read more

I went here for first time and was extremely impressed with the cheese selection. I like Cheshire cheese and was very happy they had an excellent British one in their display case. In addition, they serve sandwiches and have a large beverage and chocolate selection. People who worked there were knowledgeable and helpful. read more

Meat, cheese, pastrami, what is there not to like about Mongers' Provisions. I have gone in a few tomes for lunch, but also to purchase different cheeses and meats for my family. Zak and his team are always awesome and helpful and they are honest about what to try, and what they do not think you will care of. read more

The service was friendly and attentive. There were a lot of imported candies and beverages.

I was bummed that we weren't going to be able to do anything special for Father's Day this year. Between CV19 and a recent surgery, I just couldn't get out of the house to plan or do anything special for my husband. Mongers' Provisions came through for the win, however. Their "Virtual Father's Day Meat Up" was just the kind of activity we enjoy, but in a safe and convenient way. I ordered the charcuterie & cheese tasting online, along with a few extras. The package arrived on time and was thoughtfully packed. The online tasting, led by co-owners, Zach Berg and Will Werner was both educational and entertaining. These guys really know their stuff! Overall, the event was a huge success and we look forward to experiencing more of their virtual tastings! read more

We ordered a charcuterie tray for a football game in December, and it was fabulous! There were four of us, so I ordered a small and it DEFINITELY would've been enough for 6-8 people. Their selection of meats and cheeses were great. I plan to return and get a smaller selection for a special night at home. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and can help make selections if you're not sure what you want. read more

Mongers' Provisions - Ferndale Standard charcuterie board (small) - Cheese Shops Near Me - Berkley, Michigan

Mongers clearly is focused on quality and presenting the best products they can. There is a huge variety of cheeses, meats, chocolate, accoutrements & wine! The prices for most items is $15-$25 lb which is I'm sure worth it for the quality but a higher price point for some. Enter an alternative method of enjoyment... GRILLED CHEESE!! There are a handful of grilled cheese sandwiches that are super affordable at $9-$12 for a huge sandwich and side. My coworker and I tried two and each was perfectly grilled, filled with tons of quality ingredients and strangely the perfect size. We each chose the cornichons as our side and the salty crunch broke up the rich creaminess of the sandwiches. The French onion soup grilled cheese was heavenly - rich and complex! I'll be back again very soon! They also have a rewards menu that is 2% back! read more

We received a cheese board from our siblings and it was delicious! Not only was the size very large (it lasted us almost 5 days!) but every single thing on the board was delicious. Not only the cheeses, but also the fig jam, which became an instant favorite, and all of the nuts, olives and dried fruits. Highly recommend as a gift and they also have a lovely collection of wines! read more

Mongers' Provisions - Cheese Board - Cheese Shops Near Me - Berkley, Michigan

Top notch place! Beautiful offerings of so many things. incredible charcuterie boards that would impress at any event! I screwed up and ordered my boards for the wrong date, but they still helped me put something together real quick. Highly recommend this shop to anyone! read more

What a great place! I had asked for recommendations in the local area for a place that specializes in charcuterie. While most people suggested another charcuterie company, one person mentioned Mongers, and I'm so glad they did. What stood out for me was that I could walk into this shop and actually see the products. This was my first time making such a purchase, and I don't typically consume items that go on a charcuterie board. However, I was buying it for someone who had a family funeral to attend. The young man assisting me was fantastic. He even showed me photos on his phone of charcuterie boards he had created at various price points, which was incredibly helpful. When I picked up the order the next day, it exceeded my expectations. To top it off, they gave me a little goodie bag. The person I gave the charcuterie to just came over to express how wonderful it was. They took it to the funeral home; It was delicious, pretty, and helpful. I also decided to purchase a piece of cheese while I was there and it was delicious. I will definitely make Mongers my go-to spot for any future charcuterie needs read more

Love, love, love. The tinned fish offerings are interesting and the meats and cheeses are also amazing. I find something new and delicious each time I visit. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and willingly to offer suggestions and samples. Mongers has become my go to place for hostess gifts. read more

Participated in the first bourbon tasting... wow! such great food and drink! I had to come back the next day for cheese and lunch, which was equally amazing. Tasting was 100% worth it and had a lot of fun. The explanation of the pairings was top notch and I'm a Four Roses drinker now. Thank you for a great first impression! read more

Top notch charcuterie boards with even better customer service. Any time I serve something from here I get "wow" results. The meats and cheeses are delectable. Best prosciutto I've ever had. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. A very welcome addition to the Berkley area. read more

listen... I have never in my life had the desire to just raw dog a piece of cheese with no care in the world like I have when I walked into Mongers, and here's why. I don't like cheap cheese, it tastes like plastic to me and you know what the cheese at mongers provisions taste like... elegance I feel like I'm tasting pieces of history with every little scrumptious bite and let me repeat... I don't like cheese. But I do now. And then everyone on shift is so nice, and warm, and they look like they all just love this, and love their jobs, and love the cheese, and guess what... I love the cheese too! I will admit I was a like sneaky snake and peaked in the back and there's like a whole restaurant back there too! apparently it's not a secret though so that's a little boring but a cheese and meat and wine finery with a little secret hidden restaurant like I just... ‍ but yeah and everything is laid out so nicely and well presented Daniel was amazing and really knowledgeable about practically everything in the store while he gave me a little tour around the entire place, and ya know... I don't know if I'll ever want to get cheese anywhere else now. thank you for coming to my TedTalk. read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. Tons of delicious cheese, obviously (including a great selection of sheep's milk cheese, which is hard to find elsewhere in this area), but also a ton of interesting and delicious products to fill your heart and belly with all the fancy nibbles. The staff is fabulous-- so knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful; they seem genuinely passionate and excited to help. Plus, you can taste test literally anything in the store! I was curious about a fancy fennel chocolate (!!!) and they immediately pulled out a sample bar for me to try. Sold. I will be back again and again and again. read more

Great place to pick up some wine and cheese for Mother's Day! Fantastic selection -- why didn't someone tell me about the canned non-alcoholic CBD cocktails before now?! The staff was incredibly attentive to our family, offering to move things around for us and sharing cups and napkins before we ever had to ask. read more

Heard about this place on Fox Detroit in the am. They have a location on Cass in Detroit and a new place here in beautiful downtown Berkley! Took a ride there yesterday, just to check it out. What a pleasant surprise! It's conveniently located on the South side of 12 Mile Road between Coolidge and Greenfield. There is parking in the front and in the back with entrances for both. They will cut the cheese to order and do they know their cheese and what wines to pair. Nice selection of wine, by the way. We also picked up some thin sliced meats for charcuterie. Lots of different items to explore from tuna to chocolate covered cashews and more. You will not be disappointed. Check them out. They are right in the walkable neighborhood! read more
