"Eat More Cheese"... you don't have to tell me twice. Or even once, because I eat gross amounts of cheese already *insert photo of Charlie Day/me face-planting into a cheese plate*. I've been in this lovely shop a few times. Once, because my dad was craving their "Prairie Breeze" (kinda like sharp cheddar had a baby with parmesan), and another time to stock up on goodies to have a picnic on the harbor with my best friend. Both visits were dreamy. The shop is a little small but full of wine, cheese, fancy chocolates, housemade snacks, candies, chips, dips, charcuterie, and more - all of my favorite things, basically (sans lobster and steamers). I also love the artwork on the wall, including cheesy (literally) photos from a local photographer and previous owner. The employees are so sweet too! Things we've thoroughly enjoyed here: Prairie Breeze, Bûcheron (like chevre + brie), extra sharp aged cheddar, genoa salami with fennel, french baguette from a Belfast bakery, raspberry-rhubarb caramel, and Prosecco. Hell. Yes.

Yum! Another hidden gem that we visit when we go to see my parents. We're fans of the Euphoria and Beamster. Delish with some bread!

Excellent wine and cheese selection. Ladies working store were friendly, polite and knowledgeable…read more Store is compact, clean, stocks and cheese case has a lovely selection. Getting cheese sliced to order by weight at a real counter ensures that you will be getting the real thing, that you like because you have the option to taste it, it ensures the cheese counter will take you through a tasting journey until you find something ideal, and hopefully a little bit of quips and information about each cheese along the way. I can't think of anywhere else I would rather shop for cheese, often precut preweighed and suffocating and it's little plastic jackets. Bottom line it is morally superior to buying cheese from a bin. So let start of this little story by stating the facts 1.) I know cheese. 2.) I love cheese. One of the cheeses I bought from here was spoilt suffering from a particularly bad case of rind rot that was not visually apparent-- only to the tounge. It was what I like to call a tongue piercer but not in a good way. I was wondering why my guests winced after taking a taste, looking puzzled and they politely tried to swallow and get the taste out of their mouths, eyes darting about. "You don't like cheddar with chives? Ohh! it's one of my favorite." *takes a bite* Hooo wee. Boy was it overly funked. Mouth stinging over ammoniatedly funky and not for the faint of heart. Okay so throw it in the chuck it bucket, chalk it up to whatever. But then we went to unwrap the pate well that piece was really past its prime, born just before Zsa Zsa Gabor all glint, grey, covered in a white penicillin like and... GULP green mold. As much as I wanted to cut off the oddly colored growths, to not let it go to waste, I didn't have the heart. 10 years ago? I would not have bat an eye. I would have cut off the nasty and gone to town or at least shared it with my pet cat. God I'm getting old and boring. Hence this Yelp review. Anyway back to the story! The guests were here. Thankfully I had some odds and ends in the cheese drawer to drag out and dust off. And I kid you not I produced a. processed summer salami to swoop in & stand in as a body double for the pate and pair with the pickles and mustard. Crisis averted! Other two cheeses were however perfect, D'affinois in peak ripeness and thrilled they stock moliterno al tartufo. So nice to get these cheeses up here! The d'affinois was smooth like a Donna summer record and the moliterno tasted as if I were there in Sardinia licking lapping at the ocean waves. Batting two out of two makes me wonder what else is lurking in the case, or did I just get unlucky? I'll give them a call and I'll return for sure. Again I stress EXCELLENT selection wonderful employees. But until they work out product dating and storage, I suggest you might ask to sample the cheeses before purchasing (just in case!) and committing-- even one you've had before. Cheeses vary through out the year and the seller importer and purveyor depending on how and how long they're stored/transported. Now here's the best part. I called them and they immediately offered a refund taking my word for this even after I offered to bring in the product to show. Woman on the phone was super sweet. Can't wait to go back and patronize this business again. Happy cheese eating!

This is the place to definitely stop for all your cheese needs. The selection isn't absolutely huge…read morebut it is a good variety. The staff is charming and incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend stopping by. Ask them about the lady who sells homemade marmalade down the road. Her marmalade and jams were absolutely delicious and pair perfectly with some of their cheese.
