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.

While riding out this COVID mess, I need beer. I need GOOD beer. So, I call Jamie at the Bier…read moreCellar in Gorham and ask him to make me a case of good DIPA and TIPA selections from Maine. I give him my card over the phone, back up to the store, and Jamie comes out with a mask on to drop it into my trunk. The choices are always great, never the same, and I can face another couple of weeks of being cooped up. There is simply nothing not to love about this store and the staff there. Even the owner is happy to roll up the sleeves and pitch in with great selection suggestions. Note that I drive past two other options for buying beer that are 1/10 the distance from house. Bier Cellar owns my business and always will.

I love this store for many reasons. Average is 4.5 Staff -…read more5 Stars Beer Selection/Layout - 5 Stars Social Media Saavy - 5 stars Parking - 3 The staff here is knowledgeable and friendly. They will help you with a smile. They will answer questions for you with a smile. Bottom line, they smile and I love that. If you think you know what you might like, just start listing adjectives and they will make amazing recommendations. They also understand the patterns of beer releases. For example if there is a stout you remember as being amazing and you know the name, they will most like know when or if it will be released again. The beers have a great amount of labeling with helpful details, especially if you aren't familiar with a particular brewer or style of beer. But again, don't hesitate to ask if you have additional questions. Social Media - I love the beer tastings!!! They bring pretty great brewers here - They announce new and / or rare beers being sold Parking - meh -small lot that fills quickly during rare beer releases. With that being said, if you don't mind parallel parking on Forest Ave, there is plenty of short term parallel parking on the street and it is easy parallel parking (i.e. pull right up to the curb). I highly recommend this location but please leave some good beer for me. :)

I just wish I had more time to spend in Portland, I'd be semi-drunk and very happy 24 hours a day. These guys are the friendliest wine & beer geeks I've ever met, and I've met many thousands, believe me. I can highly recommend the Belgian Ale from Hof Ten Dormaal; it's an incredible Blonde Ale at 8% alcohol with a clean finish and a truly farm-fresh Belgian character ($8). Plus they have a deep selection of southern Rhone (French wines) as well as Italian and American (CA, OR, WA) as well. Many great ciagrs from Nicaruagua and the Domincan Rep. as well. Please throw your hard-earned money at these guys! They have earned it and they deserve it too!

The mix of styles was also impressive. I found stouts, Imperial Stouts, IPA's, barleywines, quads, pale ales and barrel aged brews. There was just about every style you could think of represented and I filled up a case up quickly. I walked into the humidor to see their selection and noticed it was looking pretty empty. If your looking for wine and spirits you could spend a lot of time in here searching. I gave a quick gander, but was on a mission for local brews. The staff was helpful and friendly. They boxed everything up nicely for us and we left happy. Mission success! Thanks guys!

Parking was super easy, too--we parked right in front. They also have a cute entryway with a garden-like vibe that I really loved.
