    Stupid concept and awful food. Cheesy chips were dry and cheese just dumped on them. I will never return.

    Grilled Cheese with Onions
    Brett H.

    Let me just say this was some pretty fantastic cheese heaven. The Grilled Cheese was so cheesy and delicious with a nice crunch on the bread. I could eat this everyday. The Mac and Cheese was so creamy and perfectly cooked with a crispy top. The food is absolutely a 5-STAR, but because the seating is so awkward and limited, I had to drop a star.

    Cheese, cheese, and more cheese! It was absolutely amazing. Had the 5 cheese macaroni, grilled cheese with onions, and truffle cheese fries. Every single dish was delicious. I love cheese so this place was a dream. I highly recommend this place if you are in the Camden area and are craving something cheesey. They had over 20 cheeses to choose from, good food selection and drink list. Definitely coming back again when I visit London. One caveat is the place is pretty small and if you need to use the restroom it was a bit of a journey.

    My sister and I came here because we saw that the Insider Food page came here. It was a pretty cool store, showing the different cheeses they serve. The only downside was that the servers were slow although we were the only customers in the restaurant. My sister and I shared a Cheese Plate and I got the Grilled Cheese. Cheese Plate- It came with three cheeses, one soft cheese, one hard cheese, and one blue cheese. It also came with some honey, crackers, pickled grapes, and nuts. Surprisingly, the cheeses tasted delicious dipped in honey and rolled in nuts. Grilled Cheese- I loved loved LOVED the grilled cheese here. It had gooey cheese with some pickled onions. The bread was perfectly toasted and crispy while the cheese was gooey and creamy, a perfect contrast. Overall, I would definitely come here for a unique and yummy experience!

    Part 1 - Cheese Board of the Day (Sides)

    Finally came to this Instagram famous shop and was honestly blown away by how good cheese can be. Came at around 11 am on New Years Eve so there wasn't a ton of people. Loved the inside display showcasing all the different cheese and where they were manufactured covering an entire wall. For two we ordered: 1. Cheese Plate of the Day - This comes with three different cheese, usually a soft, a hard, and a medium texture one. It also comes with a bunch of other sides such as nuts, honey, pickled grapes, and crackers so you can mix and match. Who knew cheese rolled in nuts and honey would be delicious. Highly recommend as you can try many different kinds of their specialties. 2. Grilled Cheese - Perfectly crispy bread with a center of oh so gooey cheese and pickled onions. I really think it's one of the best grilled cheese I ever had - the perfect balance of flavor and texture. Also the fruity and spicy sauce was the perfect compliment. Definitely recommend if ever near Camden market. Although it is a bit pricey, the experience itself is definitely worth it. These flavors are something you will never forget.

    Well, Camden is not my scene, but wanted to check it out anyway. This was a travel day so I was cranky and hungry. My hotel room wasn't ready so I ventured a bit and found this place. I wanted to sit outside and they gave me a table, but then asked if I would share or be willing to move. I get it's tough with a solo customer, but I wasn't in the mood so I reluctantly went inside to the bar. Grilled cheese was overly buttery, not needed when there's so much cheese. They forgot my fries but probably for the best.

    Yum. I'm literally sitting here, drooling, thinking about this one cheese sandwich I had nearly 3 weeks ago now. Sounds ridiculous. But I'm serious. I love cheese more than I love my husband (he knows it too). I saw this recommended on one of the blogs I read - and I am SO glad I was able to go visit. I honestly just wanted to eat the sandwich without trying the little saucey jam business they had next to it, but I am SO glad I did! It literally heightened the taste of every bite of that sandwich. I had the Quicke's cheddar, ogleshield. I wish they listed what sauce it came with - because it was out of this world. The bread was butterlicious and crispy and beautiful, and the cheese was just so flavorful and melt in your mouth. I'd be back here in a heartbeat. DELICIOUS!

    Cheeseboard
    Kimberly L.

    Food: Cheeseboard, Grilled Cheese, Mac and Cheese Love this place! If you want to eat at a cheese-centered place, this is the place for you! Started off with the cheeseboard, which has a nice array of four cheeses including a type of gouda which I really liked. The grilled cheese was good too, but I especially liked the mac and cheese that came toasty and ready to devour!

    If you're in the mood for cheese, this is the place to go. Didn't actually get a chance to try the cheese but it sounded delightful based on the menus description. After an extensive jaunt around London it's the perfect place to kick your feet up and enjoy an aperol spritz

    Let me just say that I was in cheese heaven! I absolutely love love love cheese. So many gourmet cheese so perfect. Cheeses that I've never heard of but I had to be careful because I could get so wrapped up and rack up a healthy bill. I wish we had a cheese bar in my home town.

    Fig and walnut old fashioned with aperol spritz
    Amanda M.

    I chose this place for my birthday, because it's close to where we live and it's all cheese and I really like cheese and I feel less guilty ordering almost all the menu (of which all of it is cheese) on my BIRTHDAY. So, we begin. The set up is fun. A lot of the seating is around the bar and it's casual and the guys working there are cool. The fig and walnut old fashioned was delicious and got me tipsy quickly. Next came FOOD! The first three dishes we tried were top notch and all very different. The mozzarella sticks were very good, as they should have been. The grilled agloumi (basically like halloumi) was in a more spicy seasoning which I liked and the texture was fab. And the truffle brie. I mean come on, it's truffle brie. It was delicious and those posh charcoal crackers were fun. The burrata was next, and it was ok. I wasn't really digging the basil (or something?) relish on top. Just not for me, bro. But you know what, the cheese itself was creamy and divine. I just didn't love the basil part. Rosemary lemonade for another drink, which was also delish. And the stilton and pear chutney sandwich. My oh my. I will tell you now, that the guy warned us you have to like blue cheese. See, the thing is, I kind of like it. I do enjoy it, to an extent. But for fudge sake this stilton sandwich was SO STILTON. So yeah, not my fave, it was too much for me. But he warned me so that's on me. And the truffle chips with cheese were amazing. To finish everything off we had the goats cheese ice cream with honey. And that was heaven. Well done cheese bar! You didn't disappoint!!!

    9/16/2018 Ordered grilled cheese. I loved it. The restaurant is very tiny but cute atmosphere. There's a list of cheese they carry on the wall. I will definitely come back.

    A cheese lover dream come true. Its located in the heart of Camden. I got the cheese puffs (which were cold) :( and the fondue fritter, my fav, was so delicious with the Romesco sauce.

    Gotta love blue cheese to order this one

You pay by the plate color for what's on the rotating bar and then they do offer some sandwiches too that come from the menu. We left with full tummies and happy hearts!

    Oh my goodness. Cheese really does bring happiness!…read more I stumbled upon this place a couple months before my trip. A lot of reviews encouraged reservations, so I did just that! I reserved a spot at the conveyer belt for 430pm. I arrived a little early, but they sat me. They had a spot with a reserved sign waiting. When I sat down the server explained to me how everything worked. You take whatever cheese you want off the conveyer belt and each color plate has a different price point. There is a cheese menu and each cheese has a corresponding number. The numbers are with the cheese on the plate. There's also unlimited crackers and "off belt" items. Most cheese also had a pairing; fudge, tomatoes, jelly/jam etc. There were also cured meats and pickles available on the belt that was up for grabs. The cheeses I had were #5- La Latteria Mozzarella paired with roasted cherry tomatoes #6- Cenarth Brie paired with tomato and chili jam #7- Cornish Gouda paired with fudge #18- Durrus paired with bacon jam #19- Lucky Marcel paired with Apricot jam #23- Truffled Baron Bigod. No pairing with this one. Each cheese was so delicious. The pairings were also perfect. It's hard for me to pick a favorite. The staff gets new cheese out very quick! You don't have to wait long for your cheese number of choice to come out. The conveyer belt itself was never empty. I highly recommend this place !

    This is a great little independent cheese shop somewhat hidden away in Liverpool Street Station…read more The shop - as its name says - stocks a wide variety of cheeses from around the world (well, mainly Europe), with cheeses from France, Switzerland and Italy being particularly well-represented. I once found Džiugas, a cheese from Lithuania, here, though have not seen it recently, and was really pleased because, well, it's very tasty, and it saved me from having to fly to Vilnius just to get a taste of it once more. In addition to cheeses, this shop also stocks chutneys, cake mixes, biscuits, jams and sandwiches. The sandwiches do seem to be priced quite reasonably, and when I popped in one evening, were going for buy two for the price of one. I haven't tried them myself as I don't quite like their range of breads (white sandwich bread and baps). Staff are nice and friendly and happy to look for and suggest cheeses in accordance to your needs. International Cheese also offer cheese hampers, boxes and wedding cakes, so it's a great place to pop into for gifts as well.

Loads of pates (including Fois Gras I'm hoping it's the ethical version I don't want to ask), port, and even Kendal Mint Cake. If I had to sum up this place I'd say it was a British Deli, if such a thing exists, and allowing for the occasional Swiss and French cheese They also do an excellent range of sandwiches. With the exception of a token turkey sandwich they all include cheese. And of course it's not just cheese, but specified types of cheese, whether cheddar, brie or soft, in ploughman's, with chutney, with ham etc. All fresh cut and simply wrapped in clingfilm. Prices start under £3, so very competitive too.
