    Individual board.
    Sofia R.

    Amazing local cheese shop with unique cheeses, snacks and events! Recently, I ordered several individual charcuterie boards for a wine tasting I had in my home and they were amazing. Not only did Jenny do a fantastic job choosing the cheese and snacks but it was so filling! Each person raved about the little boxes. She made special boxes for vegans and vegetarians too! I highly recommend you get on her newsletter and read about what events they are up to and buy some yummy cheese or charcuterie boxes soon! You won't regret it.

    Prescott choco company bars, yum.

    I love Shea cheese! I'm very excited that they have expanded and have a cute little lounge next-door. They offer a lot of interesting classes that I would like to attend when I have time. They give samples and the customer service is excellent. I took my mom here the other day and we tried some samples and it is just such a nice store to support local business!

    Fresh and delicious

    We ordered a charcuterie box for a group game event. We placed the order a few days in advance then picked it up in the morning for an afternoon gathering. Easy, beautiful and delicious. A huge hit!! Thank you to Shea Cheese for exceeding our expectations.

    Cold case.  Note the Benny Blanco tortillas, bottom right, IYKYK.  Above those is pimento cheese, YUM, next time!

    A few months ago, we went to the Gilbert Farmers Market where we found Shea Cheese. This excited me because they said they have cheese from Jasper Hill Farm which is my favourite creamery. I was less excited when I discovered they are 27 miles away from my house. "I will never go here." I thought to myself, as I took their business card just to be polite. But oh, that cheese! With the thoughts of Jasper Hill's Bayley Hazen Blue dancing in my head, an errand to run up on that side of town, and the knowledge that driving a 54 miles round trip is less expensive than flying to Vermont (or having it shipped from Vermont!) I finally made it to the Promised Land that is Shea Cheese yesterday. I started off by ordering a Turkey & Brie sandwich and a bottle of water. The helpful gentleman told me they have a nice room next door to eat my sandwich and there is a pitcher of water there if I don't want to buy a fancy bottle. Wat? Someone trying to save me my money? I think I am going to like it here. I went to the space next door which is lovely and welcoming, with couches and tables and all sorts of places to relax. I was invited back for "Silent Book Club" which I sure do wish I could attend but it's too far away. So yeah, they have events, check their calendar. This is a great Third Space that I am jealous of, wish we had one in my neighbourhood. My sandwich was yummy, the bread was soft and fresh, there were apples in there, and the greenery made me feel virtuously healthy. I ate half, so I appreciate that it was served in a compostable to-go box. My husband ate and enjoyed the other half. Now. Now it is time to CHEESE SHOP! I was there for Jasper Hill. I got my beloved Bayley Hazen Blue, a wheel of Little Hosmer, and some Alpha Toman. Sadly there was no Cabot Clothbound so I sampled four different cheddars before settling on the Cottonwood. Shout out and thank you for all the samples! I also got some fancy prosciutto ham where once again, they tried to save my money by warning me the slices are very large so I might not need as much as I think I do. Challenge accepted! This was a different staff member so I do feel moved to mention again how much I appreciate it. In return, I paid cash instead of the gift card I was planning on using, to save you the credit card fee. One good turn deserves another! Many thanks to Shea Cheese for my little charcuterie platter, it was delicious! I am already planning my next trip up to your side of the Valley, next time I am going to try to bring the husband.

    Sweet dreams are made of cheese I've been meaning to visit Shea Cheese since it opened and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long! Owner Jenny Zink, along with her husband Isaak, is a lively adventurous person living life to the fullest. I met Jenny years ago, when she ran a women's adventure group, and I was looking to meet new people. Although I wish that we had more outings of riding electric scooters along the canals of Old Town, I'm excited to support her in her adventures as a business owner. The day we stopped in she was actually hosting the Red Cross for a blood drive. I'm an avid donor and saw this as my push to get to Shea cheese. I had to cancel my donation for scheduling issues, but still went in later and saw Jenny handing every donor a gift bag. I've donated at many host locations and have never seen this! She set a goal of 17 donors and ended up with 27! We stopped in for the makings of a delicious charcuterie board and it put a big smile on my face as I saw Jenny again, in her element of bringing strangers together. Jenny is very candid about her 7+ year sobriety journey and I see the comments on her posts about people sharing their own journey. If you can't tell, she just amazes me. Ok...so now to the shop. It's an intimate cute space with so many yummy options. Isaak gave us cheese samples and helped us pick a cheddar, bleu, and soft cheese to go with our meats and crackers. They also offer beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) along with plant-based food options, books, and more. Oh! They make the most delicious sandwiches! We loved the decadent truffle flavor of the Unbrielievable grilled cheese and the savory rich roast beef and bleu cheese flavors of The Lil' Stinker. Recently they acquired the shop space nextdoor and opened it as a lounge. Now there is a space to sit and enjoy your sandwich and a book. It's also put to wonderful use with their cheese classes, silent book club, and many more events. Check out their schedule on the website! Oh! I can't forget to mention that Shea Cheese was recently awarded a Best-Of-The-Valley accolade! Last year it was for The Most Clever name. This year is for The Most Fun Company Newsletter. It appears that I'm not the only one who enjoys Jenny's personality and humor. I hope I've convinced you to visit Shea Cheese. Whether it be for lunch, to pick up snacks, or to attend an event. Stop in, meet Jenny and her team and enjoy this special place.

    I was watching my favorite news channel, which was 3. They were checking out local places on 32nd St. and Shea. And as soon as I heard Shea cheese, I turned and focused on the screen that is my weakness is cheese. I was not disappointed at all. The service was kind and friendly. They have outdoor singing benches or their lounge area next-door. I took advantage of the weather right now. I think I'm hooked my brie grilled cheese sandwich was to die for! And they have local beers and I really enjoyed one this morning. I'll definitely be coming back

    Megan is the loveliest cheese educator!

    What a wonderful and unique experience at the Shea Cheese Tin and Tapas Tasting event! Megan, the cheese educator, was fantastic--so knowledgeable, sweet, personable, and passionate. Jen, the owner is hilarious, kind and innovative! Their charm can keep you entertained all evening. The de-alcoholized Sangria was spectacular, thank you for having options for those who don't drink alcohol! Every paired tasting tonight was unique and full of flavor. The cheese options were outstanding, and the canned fish accents added a really unique twist to the tasting. The salt addrd to the Gelato was delishand love my takeaway spoon as a reminder of you. Love the experience of meeting people over this experience. Thank you for creating such a memorable and delicious event! Look forward to returning for a silent reading and nonalc night!

    Not only did we have lunch here, but we purchased their charcuterie kit for new year's eve. We loved it! The sandwiches we had were delicious (burrata caprese & blue cheese/roast beef). Would definitely eat here again. The charcuterie kit was perfection! Everything was so fresh & tasted wonderful together. We really enjoyed it & are so happy to have found this little cheese shop.

    Ode to the Quarter-Pound Plus All-Beef Hot Dog from Costco…read more O noble dog of warehouse fame, Long may the mustard bless thy name. No dainty snack, no fairground fraud-- But honest meat, substantial, broad. You rest in bun of humble grace, With onions once in rightful place, And ketchup's red democratic art Still dares improve your working heart. For one-fifty--drink included still-- You mock inflation by sheer will. Empires rise and markets jog, Yet unchanged remains the Costco dog. No truffle aioli clouds thy worth, No artisan brioche proves thy birth. You ask no praise, yet earn devotion, A lunch, a legend, and a motion. How many shoppers, carts in tow, Have paused beneath your sodium glow? Tired souls emerging from the fray Find meaning in your paper tray. O quarter-pounder, stout and true, The commonwealth has much to you. If someday I depart this life, Mid worldly noise and mortal strife-- Let no grand feast attend my wake, No sugared tart, no funeral cake. Just raise one dog in tribute high, And let the fountain cola sigh. For kings had banquets less profound Than joy for $1.50 found. And if heaven has a food court line, May your warm foil-wrapped light be mine.

    My wife and I enjoy visiting Costco at Tatum and Cactus which is a much nicer Costco than some…read moreothers and less hectic and lines than other locations. There are still days and times where there are long lines but Costco does different things to speed up the lines including self-checkout lines. We enjoy walking around, thinking of what we can use and what we can get as gifts for others, and trying the samples (well, that's more or less me). My wife has used almost all of the different services and departments before. It's clear that there's something for everyone in Costco. Once you are a member of Costco, you can purchase gas at the Costco Gasoline locations. There are then plenty of items including groceries that you can purchase often in bulk. The website now also includes a "treasure hunt" which is simply a rotating selection of items marked down or priced at extra value for a limited time. There is also a food court with very reasonably priced items including the long-time favorite of a jumbo hot dog and drink for only $1.50, which my grandfather and I used to love to get together. There is also travel, photos, pharmacy, optical, and more. Plus, you can get some tasty samples and even buy discounted gift cards. So joining Costco is about a lot more than just the gas, though that's certainly an attractive and added bonus to being a member! You can see the Costco website for this location at https://www.costco.com/w/-/az/phoenix/1058. Services include the gas station, food court, pharmacy, tire service center, optical department, and hearing aids. Other departments in the store including the auto buying program, bakery, fresh deli, fresh meat, fresh produce, membership, and T-Mobile cellular kiosk. Their Gold Star hours are weekdays from 10 AM to 8:30 PM, Saturday from 9:30 AM to 7 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM. These are the same hours for Business Members, and Executive Members can show up for an hour earlier on weekdays and Sundays and 30 minutes early on Saturdays. While we stopped by briefly today, we look forward to doing some holiday shopping there soon.
