They advertise themselves as the urban cheese maker They get their pasteurised, un-homogenised milk from a single herd of cows in Rye and they make their 8 cheeses at their micro-dairy in Tottenham. I'm always up for some new cheese and the girlfriend and I were treated to some samples The cheeses had character, which I love. When we had chosen our favourite, we were modestly told that that cheese had just won third place at the recent World Cheese Championships. A most impressive feat considering they've only been in business for 2 years A worthy addition to Borough Market

I was grooving to the Highgate frequency when I stopped in here to get a spinanch/hummus sandwhich and a soy shake, This store isn't that overpriced considering the location across the street from Highgate Wood.

Well we're not in Kansas (or Manchester or Brixton or Hull) anymore…read more You know you're growing up to be part of a demographic where you've found a shop local to you that sells your favourite vegan raw basil pesto. (I'm not actually vegan; the pesto is just wonderful!) You know that you've found indulgence when you've found a shop that sells tea in pillows rather than bags. You know when you've found love when you've found a shop that sells organic lime and tequila marmalade. The place is just outside Highgate Underground station and one of the first places I shopped when I first moved here. The place is small, not particularly pretentious but very artisan and supplies more simple things such as a small selection of frozen foods and toiletries. I try not to come here as I do tend to raid the antipasti and the weird and wonderful marmalade. So much quality so much temptation and worth a visit.

If you like cheese, then you need to be very, very careful coming here. You will find it impossible…read moreto choose, so you will simply buy many good cheeses. This is an amazing cheesemonger and there isn't a bad cheese in the place. They're attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. In addition to having a wonderful array of delicious cheeses, they've got fine wines, accessories, sauces, and even fresh sandwiches (using their cheeses, of course). I duck in and grab something--anything--and love it every time. You can get unpasteurised cheeses here, which Americans don't get very much. You can also find brilliant artisanal cheeses where you can learn all about who supplied the milk, who made the cheese, where it comes from, etc. You can practically learn the goats' names. If you're in the Piccadilly Circus / Jermyn Street area, this is absolutely worth stopping in.

The first Paxton & Whitfield cheese shop was opened in 1797 and is located on Jermyn street just across from Fortnum and masons. They have an excellent variety of quality cheeses including cheeses from the British isles. Their truffle cheese are particularly excellent. Service is very professional and those working at the store are very knowledgeable about the cheeses. While upscale with a traditional ambiance, the store is also fresh and modern. Highly recommended.

We selected from a variety of soft and hard cheeses that were all delectable and full of character and satisfaction.

Unfortunately I was working for a financial news company that saw no direct effect from me gaining any efficiency in grubbing categories. And that's a shame. We might all be 13% more efficient is properly lubricated with the right fish, oils, meats and cheeses. It takes bold leaders to explore these things. In the meantime, anyone can explore this cool shop on PB Rd. While there are several aisles of dried goods, cans, jars and wines... I really liked the deli cases where shop workers offered up cheeses, cured meats, olives, etc. There's also a self-serve salad bar. This shop makes me realize I need to travel more in Spain. On the flip side, I'm hoping that those who really know Spain find this to be a decent location for authentic fare. Let us know, Si?

This little store has…read morea huge selection of cereals, sodas, snacks and even groceries like mac & chesse and hot sauces. While most of the products are on the pricey side, this is due to the products being imported from the States.

Today, Sat 9th August 2025 @ approx. 3pm, I asked one of the workers if a product they were selling…read morewas halal or not and he asked me why this was my concern since I wasn't wearing the hijab (covering my head with a veil). The workers should do their jobs in selling candies rather than making their unsolicited comments. Disgusting, distasteful and unprofessional staff/ service. When the situation got heated, his colleague, Usman did not think twice about interfering and filming us without our consent and without even bothering to ask what went wrong/ what started the issue. To the worker wearing a black hat/snapback who claimed to be a "solicitor", you should be educated enough since you claim to be a lawyer, to hear both sides of the argument before resorting and concluding to also filming and attacking me and my family without properly understanding that your colleague was completely in the wrong. Consider all the videos you filmed of us as a birthday gift from me to you, especially the 5'5 short guy. As I can see from other poor reviews of your store selling expired goods, it is obvious your store is miserable so enjoy the eventual lawsuit that will be coming your way. I hope the owner who reads this review is a better reflection of the staff they selected to represent this brand. Disgusting service!!

Buenos Aires is the busiest brunch spot in Greenwich. During the week it is filled with young…read moremothers and pushchairs, and at the weekend it is full of groups of friends and young couples. Don't be put off by the queues or the apparent lack of space in the restaurant-it is surprisingly spacious and light and the comfy sofas are worth waiting for. There are also tables and chairs outside if the weather is fine enough for you to sit outside. The breakfasts are really special- freshly baked pastries and the Mediterranean platters are all amazing, as are the selection of fresh fruit juices. The coffee is phenomenal- 100% Arabica coffee- and is the main draw of the place- you can also purchase bags of it to take home with you. Buenos Aires also has an excellent outside catering service. I once used them for a photo shoot and they served the crew the best on-set buffet we had all year.

I could have flushed 2.40 down the toilet and had a better experience. ** "fuck" and "shit" heard escaping the counter dude's mouth as he berated himself (or the cake?) for letting a huge chunk of pound cake fall to the ground. This place is "buggy brigade" central and mama doesn't want to hear that sort of language spoken in front of the children. ***nice-looking joint with sofas, communal tables and cozier round tables. **four employees behind the counter on a slow shift actually creates more problems than it solves. ****outside seating

The cheese portions were generous. - 42 month Gouda: a bit creamy but wonderful flavor - A French Alpine cheese - probably my favorite - Montgomery British cheddar - British Suffolk Brie: definitely worth trying - it can stand up to any French brie They had a pretty good wine selection for such a small place. We did a Nebbiolo for £8 and a Verdicchio for £6. In the end, with the cheese, it was £24 total, which is ridiculously reasonable. I wish we could take stuff to go, but I didn't have a fridge. Bonuses: - clean bathrooms - very friendly service - super cute shop with a neighborhood feel Note: closed Sunday and Monday at this location.
