This place is absolutely fantastic! The staff is very knowledgable and friendly-they even have a lunch menu with homemade soups and different types of sandwiches that feature their cheese which is awesome. They also do really nice catering plates--I got one of the mini cheese and chucutterie plates and brought it to a party-everyone absolutely loved it. The plate was put together so nicely with little flags on the cheese so you knew which one it was and the meats were very tasty. They pretty much have any type of cheese you could imagine, and it is hard to walk out of the store without buying something. This is the type of place you feel SO good shopping at and supporting a local shop. Things there are pricey-but you are paying for excellent quality and service. I always look forward to going back to try yet another cheese that I have yet to have--I love how the cheese also rotates based on the time of year and what is available. They also have various cheese tasting events either at the shop or at another local establishment. I went to one of their events at the local brewery-I believe it was a beer and cheese tasting which was a ton of fun. I really want to go to another one of their events. read more

Fun products. We got Leak Macoroni and Cheese and a Specialty nut bread. We enjoyed them both very much.

Had a really tasty, toasted vegetarian sandwich of the day (mozzarella and pesto) and their tomato bisque soup. Their mozzarella is outstanding, so flavorful, though the sandwich is more diminutive than I would have thought. The tomato bisque has za'atar seasoning on it and this smoked taste which is unique and very middle eastern-tasting, really flavorful. We brought home the leftovers. Coming back to try their classic grilled cheese and Mac and cheese next! Thanks for carrying LMNOP's delicious bread, too. 5 stars!!!! read more

Also attended the Cheese and Whiskey class, which was 90+ minutes of minutes of warmth, laughter, detailed information, and fascinating tastes. I had the most enjoyable time hearing all the details about the cheese and whiskeys we were sampling, and though I wasn't a big whiskey drinker going in to the class, I was surprised at how much I really appreciated the different types offered, particularly paired with a similarly large range of cheeses, from goat to aged gouda to manchego to the most amazing and creamy blue - just pure bliss. Ivy has really built something amazing here, can't recommend the classes and the shop itself enough! read more

The cheese is great, the service is better. Always a good experience in the store. I did the cheese of the month club and had a small issue, it was rectified immediately by the owner with the kind of great customer service and care that is rare these days. A gem of pleasantville that will have me reccomending to any in need. read more

Great cheese shop! Like disney land for dairy lovers. This place has it all plus friendly service. Picked up some cheddar thats nutty and buttery and creamy and pricey. :) They have a beer/wine fridge with very interesting options. I picked up a can of Chatham Brewery Oktoberfest and a can of Ah-So Rose. So many crackers and preserves and fresh local bread and cookies! This place is jam packed (pun intended) with thoughtfully sourced inventory from decorative cocktail napkins to sourdough everything crackers to enormous and delicious Chocolate Chip cookies. Please visit! I will be back soon and often. read more

I had a really great grilled cheese on perfectly toasted bread. But... the lentil soup was the best I ever had with big chunks of mushrooms. What a great place! read more

Second Mouse Cheese Shop - Lentil soup and grilled cheese. - Cheese Shops Near Me - Pleasantville, New York

It's a pretty spacious shop for your cheese and charcuterie needs. My friends and I got a hard goat cheese and soft cow cheese that was recommended. Both were delicious. The goat cheese was especially a big hit... I believe it was from Netherlands and called mekkerstee. I also ordered the masala grilled cheese, which was delicious. All the flavors complemented each other well. I was tempted to buy more things like the birthday ice cream sandwich or the malai rose ice cream, but I controlled myself. But next time, that definitely won't be the case. Everyone was nice and knowledgeable. What more do you need from a cheesemonger? We did takeout, but you can eat in, as they have tables and chairs in the front of the store. read more

Second Mouse Cheese is one of the greatest shops I have encountered. I have had cheese/charcuterie plates, sandwiches, soups, and desserts, and I have never been disappointed. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and are more than helpful with any recommendations or questions I have had. They were also incredibly gracious and understanding when I came in with my (appropriately carried) support animal. It is clear the owner has put time and care into what she selects to have in her shop, both product and staff. The world is a little brighter with Second Mouse Cheese in it. read more

I made my first visit to Second Mouse Cheese Shop today and fell in love. It's an exceptional shop that sells delicious cheeses and many unusual products. The staff is amazing - kind, courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. There are cheese shops closer to me, but this place has won my business. It's worth the drive and the splurge for out-of-this-world fabulous cheeses and terrific customer service. read more

Sometimes wishes do come true. I was in the mood to try new cheeses, and considered traveling far and wide to satisfy my desires. Little did I know, right in my town of Pleasantville existed the finest cheese shop I could ever hope for. Upon entrance I knew this was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately during these times we can't taste. I should add the shop takes every necessary precaution to make sure we can enjoy purchasing their delicacies safely. I purchased a St Stephen cheese, a Gouda they called Reypenaer XO, which is probably the greatest Gouda I've ever had. I also added some duck pastrami as a treat just for me. I'm lucky to live in the area, but I recommend if you do have to travel, make Second Mouse a must visit in your travels. read more

Second Mouse Cheese Shop - A little plate I made for myself. Duck pastrami, St Stephens cheese from them . The condiment is my own secret recipe :) - Cheese Shops Near Me - Pleasantville, New York

We have been relatively regular customers since they opened, making it part of our farmers market day. The team has always been very helpful, and been great to see how they have expanded their offering So after being impressed, we worked with Ivy to host a Private 101 cheese class, for a group of 11. It was a huge success, very informative and we got to try some great cheese. Alongside that there were some great pairings with food and wine. Would highly recommend checking out the store and if you can attending a event read more

What. An amazing. Place. This shop is the perfect addition to the area, and is so warm and welcoming you'll find yourself spending the whole afternoon. Come for the world-class array of cheeses, meats, sandwiches, soups and hot dishes, stay for the vino, artisanal goods and the charm and humor of founder/ owner Ivy Ronquillo! No trip here is complete without a 10 minute chat with her about cheese and life. Mangiamo! read more

We will never go to this place. The wife and I tried to go into this place with our service dog, she is always in an enclosed carriage. The guy behind the counter yelled from across the way no dogs, didn't even ask if the dog was registered or not. I don't see how they can be considered friendly. We never have an issue anywhere else!!! We will not be trying this place ever again!!! read more

Is it possible to fall in love with a sandwich? I wasn't sure, until today. The answer is yes, if the sandwich was made by the geniuses at Second Mouse. Although the shop is local to me and I've heard nothing but raves about all its tempting offerings, today was my first time shopping there. I had the vegetarian sandwich of the day: Fresh Mozzarella, Arugula, Sliced Pears and Fig Molasses on Balthazar Baguette. Perfectly balanced flavors and textures, and just the right size for lunch. Clearly made with love. Special place! read more

This place is amazing they helped me in a jam when I forgot to place my order last min on thanksgiving! I always use them for holidays and everyone loves them. Thank you for everything read more

Amazing selection, lovely service, my favorite place for cheese and fine foods. Ivy knows her cheeses and her team is super smart and attentive. read more

Still so good! Damn! Also, amazing Kombucha assortment. Man, just love this place. I got a premade sandwich there yesterday and it just put a smile on my face. Fresh, good, just the ticket. read more

Cheese lovers unite ! This is such a perfect spot! It has a lovely cozy vibe. The staff is super nice and knowledgeable about their products. Come here for a light lunch, browse the fresh local collections of cheeses, and save time for every imaginable cracker or topping you need for your perfect cheese plate. I had to stop myself because there are so many good things here to try out: dried fruits, interesting spreads/jams, not to mention the olive oil corner. Def going to put this on my to go list when I have a cheese plate craving. read more

Carefully curated cheese shop. Lovely staff - great products - highly recommend to all

One of the best Mac & Cheese dishes I ever had and there Grilled Cheese sandwiches are the best! Try them you will be back for more! KEY WORD, it's the CHEESE! The owner and staff are truly friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable about the products they are selling. Having guests or a party? The Second Mouse Cheese Shop makes a huge variety of platters suitable for any gathering or party large or small. An old work cheese shop in the heart of downtown Pleasantville, NY. Truly a welcomed addition to the Village of Pleasantville, truly happy to have them in my town. read more

Love this new place. What an incredibly friendly welcome, followed by excellent recommendations for delicious cheese and accompaniments. This place deserves to become a neighborhood staple and we're sure to go back many times. read more

What a gem! Came into the shop via the ad on the Peak radio station. Second Mouse is a small shop full of gourmet curios and is cluttered with interesting products from all over. I was overwhelmed by the amount of signage and menu options in the shop during my first visit, but the employees were friendly and helpful. However, my second visit was on the weekend and it was quite busy. The employees seemed overwhelmed and I didn't feel comfortable making another cheese purchase due to the chaos behind the counter and the meat and cheeses sitting out on the same surface. I will be coming back during my next drive through pleasantville, but I will be sure to limit my visits to weekdays where things are calmer and cleaner. read more

So delicious and friendly. The cheese and specialty items are great as are the soups and other prepared food. If all that was true and the people were meh I wouldn't bother to write a review but the people are so so warm and friendly, I wanted to add my praise. read more

This is a really nice shop right across from the Jacob Burns Film Center, it was perfect for lunch before a movie. The grilled cheeses and tomato soup were outstanding, and the small but good selection of local beers and ciders in cans was a pleasant surprise. The staff were pleasant and helpful, and they were very knowledgeable about their well-curated selection of cheeses - we sampled and learned about a variety of them before making a few purchases. Highly recommended! read more

Their large selection of wonderful cheeses is enough to merit the highest rating. But they go beyond that. Their knowledge and expertise enables them to make superb recommendations. read more

My wife and I have been here a bunch of times. We are always impressed with how amazingly knowledgeable Ivy and her staff are about everything they carry. You can taste test any and everything! My wife and I went to their first cheese 101 course and we were blown away - to learn the different styles of cheeses and what they pair well with. You can tell how much they all care about their craft and love what they do... and how much they want to share their love of cheese with our community! read more

This shop is just what the neighborhood needed. I went in with a mission to get a brie cheese for a party I was to attend later that evening. The lady at the counter(I later learned was the owner) immediately tended to my needs and allowed me to sample several types of local cheeses. She taught me more about brie cheese than I ever could have known and that Brie is actually named for cheese in a certain region of France). After much sampling, I ended up choosing an organic cheese from Vermont. I bought a whole wheel and cut it in half taking half to the party and half in my fridge. The next day the other half was gone. Luckily it's a short drive back to the shop. Dave S. read more

Wonderful addition to the neighborhood, friendly staff and locally owned to boot! Worth a visit

A wonderful addition to Pleasantville! There selection is outstanding, both interesting and delicious. A visit to the second mouse cheese shop has become my favorite way to cure a bad day. Their food will sooth your soul. read more

Very friendly knowledgeable staff. Also the sharp cheddar I got was perfect. Will be a regular

This is not your typical small business. This place is a gem. We had an outdoor event catered by Second Mouse Cheese Shop and the experience was flawless. The food was presented beautifully and every single item -- from the gazpacho to the macaroni and cheese to the cheese platters -- was delicious. Ivy is a true professional and highly knowledgeable about her products and how to plan an event. She is also a pleasure to work with. And a special thank you to Ann Marie who was instrumental in making sure everything ran smoothly. There is a reason there are so many five star reviews. read more

I've been delinquent in sharing my fabulous experiences at Second Mouse Cheese. From fabulous grilled cheese enjoyed in store pre-covid, to reheat at home Mac and Cheese, to incredible special occasion cheese and charcuterie selections Second Mouse has always been a family favorite. We have also loved store selections like Hudson Valley marshmallows, Root simple syrups and Second Mouse's own pot de creme. A visit to Pleasantville without stopping by is a wasted trip. read more

Awesome gem of a shop. I stopped in today and so happy I did. They have a variety of cheeses and other items produced locally and abroad (mainly from Spain). Beyond having amazing products, the assistance I received was 1st class. I wish I asked for the employees name but she was so helpful. Let her know what I liked and she let me taste a variety of different local and Spanish cheese. She was great and so helpful. Can't wait to return and try something off the menu and 1 or 2 of their ciders. read more

We received cheese 101 class a present and we loved it! The owner is warm, welcoming and knowledgeable! It is nice to know that they make platters and offer a range of sizes for the holidays! We walked out with a few different cheeses and some new knowledge on cheeses! It is exciting to have a cheese shop in the neighborhood! read more

Finally a cheese shop right on my walk from the train station!! Walk in and immediately be struck by the warm ambience with a large farm table and wall full of yummy treats. The owner Ivy is just lovely and accommodating and so very informative! They have all the accompaniments and charcuterie, as well as a few other prepared items. Oh and there is WINE! Definitely come discover this gem before everyone else does! read more

So today was the second time my husband and I stopped in for sandwiches. First time I bought the Alpino sandwich, it would have been delicious if not for the rubbery sourdough baguette, so was the loaf of bread we bought for about $10. Went back again today to try again. I ordered two Alpino sandwiches, soda and chips, two lentil soups, and 1 gazpacho soup. The lady brought out the wrong soups and that had to be corrected. When We got to our picnic, we opened our boxes to see we were given two grilled cheese sandwiches with ham ( I don't spend $18 for grilled cheese, I can make the same at home for less). Needless to say we were highly disappointed, again! When I called the shop, the lady was surprised because she says she made the sandwiches and put them out front. While I was waiting for my order, I kept checking if she was done. I did not see her making the sandwiches out front, so I thought she was making it in the back.. she insisted she made the right sandwiches and maybe it was mixed up when she put it out front at the register. She did not offer to check if there was a mix up, did not seem concerned, nor did she offer any apology. She just kept saying "Okay, Okay, to my complaint. If I lived closer to the shop I would have returned it, but I live 20 mins north. Though the staff seem to be nice, I did not think this lady was professional in handling my complaint. She just wanted to make sure I knew it was not her fault, because she made the "Right" sandwiches. She had also brought out the wrong soups, too. Maybe that was someone else's fault, too. NOT good customer service. read more

Ordered a cheese platter for holiday entertaining. The cheeses were excellent and leaving the decisions up to the owner led to great balance as well. Accoutrements led to a beautifully designed platter. Thanks; and Happy 4th of July to all. read more

I read about this cheese shop in the Journal News. It sounded interesting so I went in to try it out. FANTASTIC! There is a very large selection of interesting cheeses, some foreign, some from New York and Vermont. Ivy is very knowledgeable about everything in the shop. There is excellent charcuterie, some of it from Larchmont! The staff makes you feel right at home, they let you taste any of the cheeses or charcuterie before you buy and their recommendations are spot on. I will be visiting them often and hope they are super successful. Good luck! read more
