Mongers' Provisions is truly one of the best spots in Midtown for all your artisanal needs, especially in the meat and cheese departments! They have quality of both and I came here with friends and their families to pick up some quality meats and cheeses in preparation for Thanksgiving spreads. They also offer so many other artisanal goodies (chocolate, coffee, tea, etc.) that you can browse as you wait for your meat/cheese order to be ready. The employees here are also so knowledgeable and friendly and will prepare everything to your specifications and help to provide recommendations based on what you're looking for and enjoy typically as well. They are consummate professionals and you can tell how much they genuinely enjoy working here and improving their craft! There is also a delicious menu of cheese-based sandwiches that often times sell out, so you can also pick up a delectable sandwich here after soaking in all the delicious food scents as well! Highly recommend literally everything here. They are pricier, but you're paying for proper goods that are worth every cent! read more

Love this spot! They have such a large array of charcuterie items for any occasion. I also tried the hot ham & cheese sandwich with the soup and the dried apricots. Everything was fantastic and I felt the prices were fair for the portions read more

NYE and we decided to do a night in with snacks and sips. You can't have a grazing table without cheese and charcuterie! So we stopped into Mongers' to pick up a few cheeses, meats, and other board snacks! The selection of cheeses was impressive and overwhelming. In the end I landed on a couple of soft cheeses including a French triple cream and a Tulip Tree Trillium. For meats, we picked up a stick of fancy salami and jamón ibérico which they were kind enough to slice and package in a 2oz serving (it wasn't cheap but a little goes a long way!) I also added some marcona almonds, and a few canned NA beverages for the drive home. In the end you can see in my photos that I made a really great platter for my husband and I to snack on with a bottle of bubbly at midnight. It was perfect! Definitely a go-to shop for snacks like this. They also have a really great chocolate bar selection to add to your board if you want a little sweet to end on. read more

My friend's birthday was coming up and I had stopped by here for her gift. Months earlier, we were at the Ferndale location where she purchased the "best chocolate" she had ever had, her words. That sounded like the perfect gift for her, especially since we could not celebrate her birthday last year due to COVID. It was time for a birthday do-over and this would be a nice add to it. The small shop featured 4 distinct zones covering chocolate, cheese, wine and bread, all the key food groups, as far as I'm concerned. By the wall to the right, there were shelves filled with gourmet chocolate bars. A quick scan and I was able to find the chocolate "Duck Shit Dancong Tea", so named for the tea cultivated in Guangdong, China. The tea was so delicious that the farmer gave it an awful name to hide its delicious flavors. Along with that, I selected a few other bars with similar flavor profiles. I also selected a bar for myself. Only one, as I still have a pantry of chocolate bars to consume prior to their best-by dates. Directly opposite the door is a refrigerated case of cheese. There were large wheels and small wedges of cheeses. On the table, in the middle of the store, are bottles of wine and pantry items. I don't know anything about wines and can't speak to the types offered here. Against another wall, there is a refrigerated case of deli meats. I had to try the Wagyu pastrami and at least one of the grilled cheese sandwiches. The Detroit Raclette looked interesting but the Flaming Fig (capocollo, cheddar and fig jam) won out in the end. Cheese pairs so well with jams and honeys that it sounded like the ideal sandwich. While the sandwich took a bit long to heat up, it was worth the wait. Served with an abundance of dried cherries, I loved the spicy flavor (even though it did clear my sinuses). Incidentally, the pastrami was just okay. The counterperson was knowledgeable about the merchandise and worked efficiently between checking out customers and making grilled cheeses. read more

We have enjoyed several cheese and charcuterie platters from Mongers over the past year or so, but last week was our first cheese tasting -- and one geared at families, at that. This was a virtual event due to Covid, so we were pleased to do this within the comfort of our home. We picked up our package of three cheeses (a double cream Brie, a goat Gouda and a Red Leicester), crackers, two chocolate bars and two beverages the day before the event. The selection of cheeses was great and accessible to even the pickiest 5yo boy (i.e., my son). Speaking of my son -- he ate Brie and LIKED it! Incredible! The day of, we plated the cheese, chocolate, and crackers and pulled up the tasting over Zoom. We had SO much fun during the call! Zach and his team are engaging and obviously very knowledgeable about cheese and chocolate. Zach encouraged all participants to use all of their senses when tasting. We had a great discussion for over an hour and it was so cool to see how quickly the kids picked up characteristics of the cheeses and chocolates, even learning the right lingo when talking about cheese. This was such a cool event -- fun for both kids and parents. We highly, highly recommend these virtual tastings! I'm looking forward to the next family tasting, but also want to sign up for the adult tastings with wine pairings. Their stuff is out-of-this-world good, and it was fun to learn about cheese and chocolate with our son! read more

Wine and cheese anyone? A little shop for wines, cheese and deli. Had their grilled cheese, Detroit Raclette with a side of dried cherries. What a great combo. The grilled cheese was grilled with jalapeños/pickles inside- Can't recall, on loaves of sourdough bread. Just your average grilled cheese with finer ingredients. read more

Went to the pop up shop at the Christmas markets. The sandwiches looked amazing on the menu and I've heard some good buzz about the place. The flaming fig sandwich was pretty good - I wish that the bread could be thicker and the cheese would've been melted more. The employees in the pop-up shop were incredibly nice. Overall, would try again in the regular shop! read more

I read or saw something about this place and happened to be on Cass and stopped in. WOW! It was more than I expected. I was offered a taste of anything from chocolate to cheese to meats. The staff was extremely helpful. I ordered a charcuterie board for a weekend tailgate. I asked for more meat than cheese. When I picked it up, it was BEAUTIFUL...they had built a tray larger than I had ordered because that was the only tray available...just as I turned to leave, I looked down and realized there was no meat! They immediately realized their mistake and built an additional tray that was charcuterie and fruit...top notch establishment. They take great pride in their product and I cannot wait to order again. One thing to know - T do charge a fee for the board that is refunded at the time you bring it back. read more

Amazing wine selection. The folks who work here seem to really know wine. I also love buying chocolate and hot sauce here. Not a cheese person but I hear it's great. Wish they were open a little later but that's not a big deal. read more

Possibly the best, curated selection of chocolates Ive seen in a small gourmet shop since I visited The Meadow in NYC. They also have an amazing selection of cheeses, with the ability to get hot grilled cheese sandwiches. The flaming fig was an amazing sandwich, all the ingredients available for sale. they also do charcuterie boards for catering or pick up. I ended up going back here every time I went to Detroit this month. This place is a treasure for Detroit and I hope the locals cherish it. read more

Such a great place! Very friendly staff that helped us make selections, gave out samples, and even put together some "off the menu" cheese / meat boxes for us. We are up here from Atlanta and are impressed with this store and their staff. read more

Amazingly delicious food, had the CTO sandwich, carmal onion & cheesiness goodness, and staff is super friendly, fun times in Midtown!

Great Place and wonderful service. Don't miss the chocolate tastings!

Wow!! What a great place. The selection is fabulous, and the cheese monger is wonderful. Both guys who own the shop are so helpful and they are clearly very knowledgeable. It is a must visit if you are in Detroit! read more

These grilled cheese's were super yummy! Great atmosphere and staff, will definitely be back soon

For a place that specializes in cheese, the grilled cheese is extremely underwhelming. You're better off making grilled cheese yourself. If you got a bunch of cash to blow then I guess it's a nice place for all the expensive stuff they have there. read more

Do you like cheese, chocolate, and or smoked/aged meats ? If you are saying no then you must stop in and your mind will be changed. If you said yes get ready to empty your bank account on delights like iberico ham and cheeses crafted by angels (a slight exaggeration). The deep selection of products will have your head spinning. It's a curated exhibition that will impress the most jaded gourmet. The staff is kind and very knowledgeable. Everything is available to sample, the staff genuinely gets excited to see you try the items and offers them to those in the store who didn't ask. This is a gem in midtown Detroit that deserves everyone's patronage. Good place to get gifts for foodies and people who just enjoy flavor. The grilled cheeses are to die for. read more
