There are multiple locations in London, but we were in Bath and wanted to check it out. Since it's…read moreone of the oldest cheesemongers and is well established, it is more expensive, but compared to American prices, it's still not that bad. They have a good selection of interesting cheeses. Even though it was empty on a weekday afternoon, the cheesemonger didn't seem particularly interested in helping us since we weren't buying a ton. I know it's annoying to let us sample and then cut a bunch of 100 g pieces, but we just didn't have anywhere to store the cheese on our trip. They also have lots of cheese tools and cheese related gifts, as well as their own crackers and lots of various spreads. It's a pretty cute and complete shop.

I was very, very pleased to see a Paxton and Whitfield here in Bath. I used to love walking down…read moreJermyn St in London and once a year, I'd walk in the P & W there and bought a special Christmas treat to take home. Paxton and Whitfield was always a London institution. And I love old traditional shops, especially businesses as old as this one. So, I went into this shop hopeful I could find a special treat for a picnic. It was lovely, a really special experience. The young man in the shop was really helpful and knowledgeable and friendly and not in the least bit snooty. There were lots of beautiful artisan cheeses from all over, including some special local cheeses. Suffice it to say that I tasted some beautiful cheeses in there and took some lovely stuff home with me. I can only recommend that you do the same. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.

If you are looking for quality and unique traditionally hand blended teas or an extensive range of tea and coffee accessories this shop is a must visit . They specialise in dark roasted coffee which is almost impossible to find.

No surprise at all that this fudge store has high reviews.

Very sweet, as expected, with fudge!

There's a lot to like about Seasons, a total veggie health-food shop that manages not to be a…read moretypical Holland & Barrett/Julia Graves knock-off with a million bags of seeds, nuts, dried fruit etc. Instead they sell all the stuff you want, and lot of the herbal medicine hokum, but lots of nice biscuits, breads, cereals, spreads and chilled foods. And, they have one of those rooms with loads of tubs and scoops so you can get the amount of stuff you want, instead of having to buy 2 kilos of it. Mainly though they have a good fresh food counter. No meat and lots of salads, rolls, indian foods and especially, for the winter, fresh soup which is outstanding. Very good prices too.

Horrible shop, if you ask me. I used to work for one of their main rivals, Julian Graves (which was…read moreshite, don't get me wrong), so I guess I'm kind of biased, but at least that store had food that was natural. Holland & Barratt's food looks like it was made in a laboratory. It's all fake this, that and the other, which is supposed to be healthy for us in some way. However, unless I'm in space with no access to real plants and the need to stay alive on my mind, I wouldn't ever go near this chemically enhanced crap. Plus, it feeds your insecurities - see my review of the same store in Bristol for my opinions on that matter.

We came…read morespecifically for the store (not the cafe), and though it's on the smaller side: there are SO MANY delicious things to look through and buy (I dare you to leave here empty handed). The incredibly knowledgeable, incredibly friendly, incredibly engaging cheesemonger from France basically only had eyes for me (or so it felt; they take care of their customers so well here! I've never felt so spoiled!), and spent quite a bit of time both talking cheese with me and letting me try loads of different samples from locally made sources. I got quite a few options, and he did a spectacular job at giving me just enough of each so that I could have a Wine + Cheese Night For One back at my AirBnB. I also picked up some crackers, olives, and incredibly garlicky hummus. If you love cheese, do yourself a favor and come here. Even if you don't know where to begin except traits you like (funky, creamy, earthy, salt crystaly), they'll know exactly where to steer you, and will probably delight and surprise you along the way!

This may seem a little unfair, but trust me - anyone who doesn't enjoy a hot chocolate in their cafe, or one of their Belgium treats is NOT my sort of person. This cafe-cum-chocolatiers on Cheap Street is a chocolaholic's paradise. The friendly staff are at hand to tell you everything you want about these sweet treats, and will lure you into buying more than you wanted with free samples of the wickedly tempting stuff. They also host confectionery making parties for an alternative hen party; but brides beware. You may not fit into your dress after an evening at Minerva!
