    It pains me to admit this, but I've lived in Grand Rapids for almost a decade and had never gone to The Cheese Lady despite living less than a mile away for many years. Well, that all changed when I stopped in the other day to try some cheese and order a couple cheese boards for an event. I spoke with the owner, Heather, who helped guide me in the right direction in terms of amount of cheese based on number of guests and length of the party. She asked if I wanted to include some fruit and other accoutrements on my board and let me know the approximate cost. Then, I got to pick the cheese! The menu is pretty overwhelming as they have more than 90 different varieties of cheese. However, Heather was able to pick some based on my thoughts and gave some suggestions for variety and different colors on the board. You can sample all the cheese before you buy it and I loved every single offering she gave me. I kept thinking, "this would be great on a grilled cheese!" The actual ordering of the cheese boards was super simple and they were a huge hit at my event! They were arranged beautifully and included labels for all the cheese which was awesome. The Cheese Lady offers other things besides cheese, too--they stock handmade gifts and houseware items, as well as specialty food items, wine, beer, and ciders. The only complaint would be the small parking lot as I'm sure it definitely gets full at peak times. I can't wait to go back to The Cheese Lady to try more cheese and get the supplies for my ultimate grilled cheese sandwich!

    Bleu, brie and gouda cheeses, parmesan cheese crisps, almondina crackers and salami.

    Heather was very friendly and helpful! She made great recommendations on cheeses and the pricing was what l was expecting. She even wrote "Happy Birthday" on my bag as my family was doing a charcuterie board for my birthday! Thanks, Heather! Can't wait to check out the inside of your shop when covid-19 is over!

    Well-supplied, knowledgeable. If you need a cheese-fix in West Mi and Zingerman's isn't handy, there are none better.

It's was the end of the day but Kramer didn't mind. He welcomed us all with a big smile and how can I help attitude. I really appreciated that because I was already feeling bad for sliding in so late. They had cases full of cheese, deli meat, chicken, steak, and pork with a refrigerated/freezer section as well. After visiting I learned Grand Butchers is a full service shop offering all natural beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and veal. Affordable organic, grass-fed, and pastured products with an emphasis on made-in-Michigan. Besides custom cuts and a full display cases they have a fully stocked deli and offer many grocery items. We got a bag of BBQ chips to enjoy on the ride home.

It was about $20 per pound, which is certainly better than any restaurant pricing so I was happy. I don't buy a ton of meat so I'm not sure if that pricing is in line with other stores, but I wanted to support this local shop right in my own neighborhood. They had a large selection of other cuts of meat, chicken, and packaged items like crackers, sauces, dips, gifts, and more. I'm definitely coming back to Grand Butchers the next time I need a more special cut of meat. Love the large parking lot and I was in and out in no time.

I saw a post about them recently on their Instagram and was intrigued by the weekly special sandwich as well as the very reasonable prices for what I assumed would be a quality product. I wasn't sure where to go to find the sandwiches, as we walked into the butcher shop on Lyon Street and didn't see anything. The employee at the counter was really friendly and told us to go around to the back of the building, either through the coffee shop or on the path next to the old Marcona restaurant. Sure enough, we found a Blackstone griddle with a whole bunch of eggs and bacon and a small line forming. I got the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich and Nate got the bacon one. We both added hot sauce mayo (you can also order with extra meat). We popped in to Lyon Street Cafe to grab a coffee while we waited and it was the perfect morning. They said they do the breakfast sandwiches every Saturday starting in April, and they will do it well into November! Each week has a delicious special that they post on Instagram. The sandwiches were definitely high quality and delicious. The egg was perfectly cooked with a bit of runny egg (but not so runny that it makes a huge mess) and the sausage patty was super flavorful and juicy. I loved the soft bun too. This is now one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches in town and I will be there as many Saturdays as I can!
