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.

When I find a local treasure like this I like to share it, but kinda want to keep it to myself so it stays as perfect as it is right now My wife and I had stopped at Shea Cheese to buy things in the past, but we decided to have their sandwiches today! Wow! I had the Turkey with mustard Gouda and fig jam. It's a flavor and texture explosion that was unmatched. I know that's a lot for a sandwich but it really was. Spicy mustard, combining with sweet fig jam and cold cucumbers with turkey and Gouda cheese. My wife has the apple/bacon/brie melt, it was fantastic as well You order at the cheese shop then head to the suite next door called the Shea Lounge, a kitschy little wifi cafe with free kcup coffee, filtered water, free WiFi and comfy atmosphere. They brought our food over (and they have a byob liquor license) and we'd picked up natural sodas and we enjoyed the place and the food. Highly recommend!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

See all

This was an awesomely positive experience, which is unfortunately rare these days…read more Sunset provided a quote by email, after I provided words and pictures to describe what we were looking for. Their guys showed up on time. They were courteous. They were respectful of us, and respectful of our home. They asked for our input when they got to a part that required some judgement. They performed mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and drywall work. All done nearly to perfection. And they passed the acid test; after they left, I noticed two small things which I thought could have done better. They returned immediately and made these right. And they sent an invoice almost a week later (giving us an opportunity to discover any other issues, which we did NOT), and the invoice was for the exact amount of the estimate. They accepted my credit card payment over the phone. Our job was a small one, but they have definitely encouraged us to contact them again for our next job - small or large. Exceptionally excellent experience.

By chance in late August 2025, I mentioned to Mark from Sunset Tile, our need for roof maintenance…read moreand could he recommend a company. I cannot stress the relief my husband and I felt when Mark said Sunset Tile and Bath have a roofer. The gentleman's name, also Mark (I'll refer to as roofer Mark) was as competent, meticulous and professional as every other member we have encountered through Sunset Tile and Bath. Roofer Mark assessed, photographed and answered questions regarding our roof needs. Roofer Mark completed everything a week before our heavy rains occurred. His cleanup was remarkable---I found 2 nails---that's it! My husband and I are grateful to have a company that takes pride in their professions. Many thanks to Roofer Mark and his crew---and to Sunset Tile and Bath. Maureen M
