Serrano ham
Joseph K.

As a rule of thumb i dont leave charlotte without stopping at Orrmans first. Absolutely the finest quality imported and domestic meats and cheese. Every staff member is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. Small and quiet spot in the back of 7th street market My favorite meats are the serrano ham, Calabrian 3-way, and bresaola. Cheese wise you cannot go wrong with the truffle brie, or kentucky rose

Cheese selection

Aesthetic: Classy, bright cheese stand in The Market at 7th Street with a large variety of cheeses, food made to order, sweets, and wine. My Favorites: The grilled cheeses! Experience: There were so many unique cheeses to buy, I wanted to take everything home! I'm going to come prepared to shop next time. My husband got the Raclette grilled cheese, and I tried the Croque Monsieur with tomato soup. I immediately wanted to trade, the grilled cheese was the star! I want to go back for the Raclette nights on Thursday and to get some wine. I highly recommend this spot to any cheese lovers! Thank you for decorating for Pride.

Love the expanded store in 7th Street Market. While I was there I stopped by Orrman's for a few things, including cheese, mortadella, and some other goodies! Customer Service was amazing, and I truly love the variety of items they offer.

This is a great cheese shop at the 7th st market. They have cheeseboards, grilled cheeses, and a few other items on their menu. They also do a raclette night on Thursdays (at least during certain times of the year). There is also a small market area where you can grab things to take with you which I love. Lots of foodie/cheese gifts as well. Everyone who works there seems knowledgeable about the cheeses and pairing them together/providing a variety on the cheeseboards. Definitely recommend a visit to orrmans!

Topo Chico, my favorite bottled water, and the superhero fromager about to create our meals.
Pamela A.

Let me get this out of the way first and foremost: I love cheese. I could eat cheese, fruit and crudités for every meal. But too much of a good thing doesn't appeal to me, and for some odd reason raclette looked like too much of a good thing. I. Was. Wrong. As someone who works uptown I was familiar with Orman's and their excellent grilled cheese sandwiches. My husband cajoled me into making reservations for their raclette event, traditionally Thursday evenings during winter...-another reason I was reluctant to go because once home I don't want to go uptown again. Seemed like a waste of time. Once again... I. Was. Wrong. We turned up early for our reservation and welcomed by a staff who were surprisingly busy; it was nice to see Seventh Street Market active and well. Settling at the bar in front of the pair of raclette machines, we took out time with salads of fresh field greens and chatted with the fromager as he was preparing the heaters and our plates. The thing I like most about Orman's is that the staff appear to genuinely love what they do and the product they sell. They were all happy to answer questions for two newcomers. Then came the raclette itself., heated to bubbly perfection and scraped carefully onto boiled fingerling potatoes. Also on the plate were slices of baguette and several cornichons, all part of the traditional French presentation, along with some locally made mustard. The raclette cheese was relatively mild and made specifically for this dish. (Yes, it's called raclette cheese.) it was hot but edible immediately, and...well, a fellow cheese lover told me it would be like fondue only better, and he was right. I took the first bite of cheese only to try it alone and it was everything I could want in life, gastronomically speaking. I would like to emphasize the importance of savoring this meal. We so often rush through meals, but raclette should be enjoyed slowly, each bite of potato and cheese and cornichon masticated with indulgent pleasure. (Oh yes...you do need to try the tiny pickles with the raclette and potato or baguette because it complements the cheese far more than one might expect.) The Lusty Monk coarse ground mustard with the baguette and bit of raclette was a sincere joy to people like us who love a good mustard; a jar came home with us. I mean...we did pay for it. I was so melancholy when I came to the last bite of raclette and boiled potato, as one might imagine...but my mood was soon brightened by the dessert, included with our event meal: pot de crème au chocolat. As I have mentioned elsewhere, I am not the biggest fan of sweets. Normally I would sample and pass on the rest to my spouse. But not this dessert. Silky smooth and rich, replete with the taste of finé chocolate, the pot was the best dessert I have enjoyed in years. You might assume, and rightfully so, that I give Orman's my full-throated endorsement, but lest my fervor be mistaken for merely a raclette high, let me add that their offerings of cheese and charcuterie are extensive for a smallish shop, yet the staff knows that selection well. Along with that locally made mustard, we purchased some of the Toscana salami from my husband 's meal and two cheeses the clerks recommended. Orman's is a treat, like a little Parisian holiday. Let's make sure they have a long and bountiful future in the Queen City.

This place is straight up adorable! It is one of the many charming local vendors located in the 7th Street Market in Uptown. They operate as both a shop and restaurant. You can buy some of their fine cheeses, or if you are looking for a meal you can order one of their delicious grilled cheeses. The small shop has an incredible attention to detail selection some of the finest local cheeses, you can tell they truly care about their products. You may be surprised to learn that they also supply cheeses to some of the most popular restaurants in the Charlotte area. From whole sale to counter service it is clear that they are devoted to cheese! They even hold events dedicated to sampling various cheeses, giving cheesemakers the opportunity to share their craft. These are the types of businesses you love to root for. Something about a grilled cheese is just pure comfort, so if you find yourself hungry and curious, stop by the market and look for the cheese shop at the back. You won't regret it.

Cuban with a Garden Salad

Third time here. Now Itried their sandwiches and they are awesome. Great service. All are very friendly and knowledgeable of the varieties

Neema B.

Came here to grab a quick bite after hearing great things about Orrman's. I ordered the croque monsieur with greens and my order was ready in under 10 minutes. The sandwich was really good - one of the better versions of this sandwich that I've had! The cheese was piping hot and it had a nice salty flavor. I only wish the sandwich had one more slice of ham, but still I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is a nice cheese shop in 7th Street Market, such a variety of cheeses, cured meats, spreads and more. It's a perfect place to grab a charcuterie board of supplies for one to enjoy there or to go. I can't wait to return when I have more time to browse the store.

Grilled cheese and tomato soup. A classic!
Kate S.

On a cool winter day, the grilled cheese and tomato soup from Ormans Cheese Shop hits the spot. We ordered inside (with masks on, of course) and then found lovely seats in the sun on the patio by the light rail. We even had a nice chat with the proprietor while we were out there. They're currently open Thursday - Sunday due to the decrease in traffic weekdays these days, and they need our business to stay alive. So, come in and order your lunch to stay and some cheese to go from their mini store. It will warm you from the inside out!

The gift box that I have them sent to Atlanta
Carolyn L.

Recently my cousin celebrated her birthday. She wanted a couple of us to visit her in ATlanta. However, due it being a hot spot of Covid. We all opted to stay put. So I have to think of something to send her. And she alway missing home. So a month ago. She started this love for goat cheese. I have look high and low. But it's sooo expensive to send cheese from different places. $75 just for overnight shipping. I came up with this idea to eMail Orrman's Cheese Shop. Seeing if they are willing to ship 4/5 varieties of goat cheese to Atlanta overnight. And I don't have any budget. Rachel K. Responded almost instantly saying it was no problem. She listed on what she will include in the package. Nice box, wrapped nicely and even attached a note for me.. I can't tell you how grateful I am that they can do this. I didn't have to go there since I was slammed at the salon with appts. Everything was done over emails and all I have to do is type up a note. Later called my cc no# and they handled everything like they said they would.. The box arrive in Atlanta at 2:45 on a Wednesday just as promised.. I love that they willing to take this extra step for me especially during Covid. And honestly. While everybody can charge me $115 to $150. They prices were nothing near that and its locals. Nothing better than supporting your locals and they don't disappoint!

Ooey gooey grilled cheese
Julie P.

If you're around uptown, do yourself a favor and stop by Orrmans for the most delicious grilled cheese you can imagine. I always order the same thing - the Gouda, mustard and pickle sandwich. It's everything you could want in an adult Mac and cheese. Gooey, creamy, crunchy with a tart bite from the pickles and mustard. Even writing about it makes me want another one. Orrmans also has delicious soup that changes daily, but whatever the soup is, you can't go wrong. My kid loves their Mac and cheese, it's such an elevated version, and so delicious (I always sneak a few bites myself). They also sell cheese and tinned seafood, so this little cheese shop is a bit of heaven in the 7th street market!!

Raclette Night
Krystle M.

Raclette Night... if you haven't been you need to give it a try. Raclette Night is every Thursday and you can use the yelp deal for it. The Raclette plate is $10. For an additional price you can add charcuterie, lettuce salad and mustard. The Raclette plate comes with baguettes, roasted potatoes and cornichons (little pickles). The cheese was sooo good. It was creamy and warmed up to perfection. The warming of the cheese was a cool process. They place the wheel under a single broiler type machine and it melts the top layer. You get a good amount of gooey cheese with some crunchy spots. If I ever have a free Thursday night again I will def go back. However I did see a Monday Night Raclette other day!!! I also want to try their grill cheese. Orrman's Cheese Shop 224 E 7th St Charlotte, NC 28202 October 10, 2019 6pm

The NEW location in 7th Street Market is up and running, and it's BEAUTIFUL!!
Rebekah M.

Orrmans is awesome!! They've moved into the HUGE empty space at the end of 7th Street Market and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the new digs! For one thing, Rachel and her team finally get some space to move without running over one another! The accoutrements to go with their selection of meats and cheeses is huge now! There are tons of local jams and honeys, crackers, cutting boards, and everything you'll ever need to make a lovely picnic or charcuterie/cheese board for your party... did I mention they're right next to Assorted Wine's booth?! What could be more perfect?!

Cheese, meats, and assortments were phenomenal. A must visit why in the CLT. The food court has plenty of options.

I see they moved to a bigger spot within the market so I will for sure be back for another raclette night!
