Last night my wife and I had a wonderful experience at the cheese patch. We happen to stumble upon a " Reopening" of the new innovated store. The same wonderful cheese store exists when you walk in but the owners put a wall up separating the front of the store and the back. The wall that was constructed is a " secret hidden wall" and when opened you enter a back room similar to getting let into a speakeasy from the 1920's. A full bar with craft hand made cocktails were served by a host bartender ( Doublespeak Craft Cocktails). The atmosphere was alive and fun. Platters of delicious cheeses and assorted meats with fruit were distributed around the bar as well as the tables were customers were relaxing and drinking the delicious cocktails. My wife and I had always loved the cheese shop. The selection of cheeses and the knowledge of the staff is what makes us keep coming back. The new speakeasy bar they have developed has risen one of our favorite places to the next level. When in Patchogue you must check it out. I will give out the secret code to get into the back another time!!!! JK just ask and you can enter!!
Immaculate vibe, satisfying cocktails, proper wine selections and delicious cheese boards paired with unwavering service. This all made for a memorable and elevated experience in Patchogue. You'd be glad to stumble upon this rare find!
We recently visited this restaurant to try it a second time. My experience wasn't any better. It does well on Yelp, so it might just be me, so you be the judge: At first glance, the place looked dark and like a small shop cheese chop that was closed. I have come to realize that a trap door leads into the restaurant and opens to expose it from the other end. This feature must be new because I do not recall from my 2017 experience. I like this "Hogwarts-like" feature, and its neatness suits me perfectly. The setup inside is pretty nifty and romantic, which is exactly my goal with my wife. The small cozy establishment has a very long bar that eats up much of the space inside. This is not necessarily a problem, except that there is a dog excited for new guests, cutting into the already narrow path. The dog was kind of cute at first, but kept coming back and kind of disrupting the conversation. Except for mild chastising, the dog was just on an adventure. The lady running the establishment wasn't exactly on top of it, but it wasn't as if the dog was barking or jumping on anyone other than "making the rounds" to check us out, sniff, and stare when food came out. We did notice that the dog got everywhere, including cubbies with plates near the ground, which I hope were just there for decor. The nice serving lady seemed out of sorts (as if she wasn't prepared for clients). She needed updated menus with the wines or items they were offering included, but these had not been printed, I suppose. Understand that we had in mind a series of items from their website menu that were nowhere to be found in their more limited selection. So, we "adjust our palette" to select something else. We wanted a flight of wines (something we thought was a thing for them); she provided it, but it was as if it were a "side thing" because they stopped doing flights (?). She did say they were in the process of switching over seasonal vintages, though I am uncertain how this is part of why they don't do flights anymore. The flights came with one selection that was different from our choice because the wine had turned, so she just replaced it for us without feedback (one of the whites). It also came with a red that was turned, and we had to return it. No problem, in that she just brought us another choice. But she lacked communication with us to offer options on the first. Then came a second dog. This one was a bit barky, and the distractions only grew. I'm looking back at my wife, and right beside her is the yellow-taped murder scene that had once been the mood that had accompanied us that Saturday. The seats were not exactly comfortable because they were narrow (my butt is just too big for them, so that's on me). Yet, by now, the little things are starting to stack up into a big pile. I don't think round tables for such a small establishment work well, as was evident when other folks walked in (two couples who were sitting together but couldn't really "share" the tables). The charcuterie eventually arrived but lacked a few items that were supposed to be included with it. We did ask for the nuts because I really wanted those, but there were pickles and the like missing from the order. Whatever: at that point, we were hungry and, frankly, done with this place. Our dish, I will say, was lovely despite its missing parts. And tasted even better. There were no issues with this part; they have really tasty cheeses. The wines were OK (barring the one that was turned that we did taste). Look, my wife implored me not to write a review because our experience was so bad all we could do was laugh. In truth, I hate writing bad reviews. However, I don't consider myself picky or overtly critical, but I am on Yelp because I like to read people's honest experiences about an establishment and feel I should pay it back. This was my honest experience at The Cheese Patch, and perhaps it was a one-off, but it was mine and my last, considering my 2017 "go" had not really been a smash either. Maybe you would like it better than I did, so by all means, give them a go, but be advised.
This place looks like such a hole in the wall from the outside but it's anything but that on the inside. A couple of my girlfriends and I were so happy to sit in the front room and enjoy a delicious cheese, fruit and jam spread paired with some great wine. We had manchego, brie, and this cheese that has crystallized pieces inside. All the cheeses were so good! Come to find out that behind a bookcase that we sat by the whole time, there was a massive bar area and even a cute little shop! We were in shock! They're still working on the bar in the back which is debuting as a speakeasy in November. What a gem!
My friend invited me out as her plus one to share in a Groupon cheese and wine tasting experience. This is a lovely establishment, the inside is quaint and charming! When we got in it definitely took the owner a few minutes before she served us however she did seat us and give us water. It was odd though because my friend booked a 1:00 slot but the woman declared a 1:30 time was better for her in order to get things together. Idk what happened but their communication was definitely off. Any who,eventually she brought us out the cheese spread and 4 wines to taste each. The spread was beautifully put together and she explained in great detail about all the cheese and wines and where they come from. I definitely wouldn't have done this experience on my own but it was really nice! The four different cheeses we tasted were all unique in flavor and texture and the wines were also magnificent! The shop also sells cheeses by the pound and different meats and fondue trinkets. It's a very unique place and J definitely dug it.
If you're a cheese lover, you're not going to want to miss out on this! It was my first time ever going, and Paige, who is also the owner, was a great person to start off with! Not only did she go in depth on all the cheese selections as well as what type I would like most to create the perfect flight - but she was more than patient with me! We paired up with one good meat choice - although you could've done two cheeses and two meats, or any combination as long as it is no more than four. You can probably add more for an additional price, I'm not too sure about that. She put it out with dried fruits, crackers and even a very good jam that just ... WOW! Everything was so well put together. She is such a kind soul with such a beautiful establishment to match! They have a wide selection of wines, draft beer and cocktails to pick from. I had their Mojito - which let me tell you, packs a huge punch!! it's a great time though and tastes wonderful. Overall it was a very good experience with some amazing tasting cheese! My favorite cheese was the one to the far left, it is a sheep cheese. So soft and delicate to the bite! Any cheese lovers dream!
Wine, cheese, a view of Main Street what more could you want for a perfect Saturday date? We used the Groupon and were in for quite the surprise. We were given explanations of each tasting and which cheeses pair best with which wines. The fig jam and salted almonds rounded out the perfect cheese plate. The presentation and explanation were better than some of the "prestigious" wineries out east. We've given groupons here to family and friends. Additionally, as a part of the Patchogue Breakfast Crawl we tried the cheese fondue and it was such a delicious bite!
Great little cheese shop. Last night my husband and I ordered the cheese tray to share. We chose 4 different cheeses. They let you sample before you choose. My absolute favorite is the truffle tremor. The Saint Angel is also delicious and super creamy! I love that they have gluten free rice crackers to serve with the cheese. Paige the owner is a doll. Her son Spencer was working and he was a curtesy and attentive young gentleman. We checked in on Yelp and received 20% off. They have live music on weekend and do cheese and wine pairing with a appointment.
Say cheese! Also, say wine. At The Cheese Patch you should probably do both. My vino and dairy venture began via Groupon purchase (for 4) that was cashed in a few weeks ago. Results? A mixed bag of feelings, but a mutual "sure" on a future return. Let's get tastin'. First off, Main Street in Patchogue offers up almost any edible treat you can think of, so finding TCP right along this road is no surprise. The size might be what's startling as it's on the tinier side with enough room to hold a few handfuls of people before you might start feeling like a sardine. Luckily, we strolled in at a time when the place only housed two others besides our group of four. Second off (I'll keep up with what I started), we'll dive into the service. It truly started rocky as the woman in charge was a bit condescending, especially to the fact that we didn't have a reservation. Maybe I missed that part of the Groupon, but we weren't aware we needed one. Besides this, like I said the place was empty, and from that empty factor she was able to make it work...good move. The initial feeling of unfriendliness lingered for a few minutes as we grabbed a table and waited for our cheese plate and wine sampling (what the Groupon gave us) to reach our table. Though as soon as the woman brought things over, it was like a whole new experience. She turned on the fun and got real with us about cheese, wine, cooking, gardening, and just enjoying life. That flip in service saved this review a full star for sure. As for the wines and cheese, there wasn't a physical list to remember exactly what was consumed (and I didn't write things down in the moment...whoops), but we were given four cheeses and four wines along with some fig jam, cranberries, walnuts, and thin wafer crackers. The cheeses complimented each glass of vino surprisingly well. For example, one cheese held a great infusion of peppercorns. This matched up with a red wine selection that had a little bite to it. Okay wine and cheese, you've peeked my interest. Overall, The Cheese Patch started off a little smelly (and I don't mean from Limburger), but got its act together to really deliver a delightful time with cheese and wine. Like I said, would I return? Sure! It's an experience worth having more than once (perhaps with a reservation?). So if you find yourself in Patchogue and need your dairy (and liquid fruit) fix then check this spot out.
CHEESE! and this is not that kraft stuff in plastic! little shop right on Main Street I saw the yelp deal and figured what have I got to lose 5 bucks for 10 bucks of cheese I am a ovo lacto vegetarian so cheese is a main staple there are a few tables big cases filled with cheese a big chalk board with all the offerings I see ready made picnic baskets what a lovely idea and some fancy fruit sodas I should I have bought sweet gals working there were very friendly as I was deciding which cheese to devour the gal said TRY this cheese smoked maple and it was so good and creamy I explained I was going to make a sandwich and she actually said buy less I appreciate honest folk leaving with two types of cheese I couldn't wait to get home to eat it packed in brown paper and tied with string (is that a song?) nice wrappings yummy cheese just perfect and for sure I will be back
The cheese patch came to the rescue for me! It was a ridiculous Thursday, live after five (NEVER AGAIN), and I saw this cute, bright spot that had just a few people inside and I thought, they have the right idea! I was so happy I stumbled in after braving the streets of these people flocking everywhere! They offer up a huge wine selection, craft beers, and this awesome pineapple cider.. this younger kid helped us, but he was SO good, he knew his stuff and he was better than some of the other people that consider themselves connoisseurs lol. He was very mild tempered and patient especially since we def rolled in there a little tipsy. There's a few seats in the front overlooking main street at a high top bar which is cute or you can sit round the bar where they're serving. It was such a cute set up. Had a really yummy cheese plate (we selected mostly hard cheeses) and they were all amazing. This one particular stuck out, a harder cheese that had a purple crusted appearance on the outside since it was soaked in wine (the name escapes me). It was really good. And the Gouda had some of those crunchy crystals that you love so much when you know a cheese is aged to perfection (beemster!) They had a really nice menu that I'd like to come back and try...
Totally unexpected and unplanned we find this uber-nice Wine & Cheese bar on our way back to Hoboken. Great location, selection of cheese and wine. Service top notch, knowledgeable and accomodating. We liked the whites from Spain and Italy, Rose from France. No local wines though. Definitely coming back when they do the post-covid wine & cheese pairings again.
An excellent local cheese shop in the heart of Patchogue. Great for choose-your-own cheeses to go, lovely boards of cheese with dried fruits and nuts to enjoy there or to take with you to a gathering (or home for yourself haha). They create all different sized boards for events, parties, and holidays if you need a sharp looking charcuterie to bring with you somewhere. The Cheese Patch is a cute little spot you can sit and hang out with friends or family while sipping on wine and snacking on charcuterie. They host live music nights and other cool events and specials depending on the time of year. (You can stay in the loop by following their social media.) The owner, Paige, is very knowledgable about cheese and wine and gives great recommendations so definitely ask if you are looking to try something new! read more

Haven't been here for a while- nice little facelift to the space- Speak Easy vibe and it's awesome. Delicious wines, excellent selection of cheeses and presentation was worthy of snap in any gastronomic magazine. Nestled in the heart of Patchogue Village, metered street parking or municipal parking in many village lots. Recommend taking an Uber, car service or the LIRR if you're thinking of imbibing. The local police call it "fishing with dynamite". Don't risk it. read more

First time here and very nice. Our server, Samantha was very nice and checked in on us to make sure we were good. The wine was great on its own but with the cheese pairing the wine taste better, especially the Merlot with the gouda. Also great pour of the wine. I also love the atmosphere of the place. Romantic lighting and nice background music. Would definitely come back again! read more

What a cute little place this is! If you're a fan of cheese, this is a must-try for you. Paige, as others have noted, is so knowledgeable and wonderful. I was very impressed with the cheese flight. The size is definitely big enough to share for a snack. Paige can help you choose what you'd like for your flights, by even giving you a taste or two of some cheeses to narrow it down. My favorites included the Maple Smoked Cheddar and the Wendsleydale with cranberries, but everything I tried was great! They also serve beer, hard cider and wine. Score! Also, the hours are later then what is posted on here...I believe most days they are open until 8 pm :) read more

We were strolling along the street at alive after five when genius struck Justin M. and I - we had a Groupon for this place!! But since it was crazy packed on main street we weren't sure if they would honor it. We were in luck and they sat us down right away. The Groupon included a wine and cheese tasting for 2. We were starving so this was right up our alley. Behind the counter the ladies were working like crazy and cranking out wine and cheeses like it was nobody's business trying to shorten the line at the door. It did take a little while for our order to come out but when it did we were very impressed. Our waitress brought out our order and explained every cheese and what wine it goes with. She even explained the wines down to the types of grapes they come from. I was blown away by this because it was so busy and she took the time to talk about what we were about to consume. I thought she would've put our food and drinks down, say enjoy and rush back to behind the counter to push more cheese out - which I would have totally understood. The cheese was delish and they paired great wines with them so it was a nice little treat. The inside is cute and cozy but perhaps a little too small I would have preferred it to be bigger but that won't stop me from coming back. Also the drunken goat cheese they gave us was superb. So great cheese wine and service earns another trip to the Cheese Patch for us! read more

So, I visited this place with a Groupon for a wine and cheese tasting for two. It's tough to give this place an adequate rating, but hear me out: -In terms of atmosphere: FIVE STARS. This place was beyond adorable, I loved all the decor. -In terms of cheese: FIVE STARS. they selected the four cheeses for our pairing, and I honestly enjoyed them all. I don't even like Brie or goat cheese but I still tried them and they were surprisingly delicious. There was a large selection of cheeses for others who go without a Groupon and get to select what they want. They also gave us some nuts, cranberries, fig jam () and water crackers. It was all just delectable. -In terms of wine: THREE STARS. I didn't like that we didn't get an option on wines..I understand that they were working to pair the wines with cheeses but at other places we've been asked whether we prefer red, white or mixed and then they'll work from there with cheese pairings. This place just gave us two whites and two reds, and as mostly red wine drinkers we didn't enjoy the whites as much. However, each wine did pair really well with the cheeses. -In terms of service: this is where it gets tricky..we had reservations and had to wait a few minutes for them to clear the table, which is fine and no problem there. The initial hostess was incredibly pleasant the entire visit. The women actually serving us...she's another story. Don't get me wrong, she was super nice but just told us a lot of things we didn't need to know. She brought our wine and cheese out and described each for us and seemed knowledgeable enough, but after describing the taste proceeds to say 'well, that's what they told me to say at least...I wouldn't know because I don't drink.' Ok... we kind of just shrugged that off as a little strange and not pertinent info and went on with our tasting. Afterwards we decided to order dessert. We saw espresso cups on the table next to us so we asked if there was espresso, and were told no they 'only have this Spanish coffee' where the woman then pulls out a box of k-cups and tells us they just brew it on the keurig. Which also...fine...but strange, would prefer not to know that but I could also see the keurig behind the counter from where our table was. We also ordered dessert from a board posted on the wall and were told that she had to 'check to see if they even have any because last week the freezer broke and they had to throw out a lot of things'. still don't need to know this. They did however have the cake, it was a chocolate peanut butter lava cake which from our seats we watched them heat it in the microwave behind the counter...also something I don't need to be seen done. I still ate the whole thing because, come on..its chocolate and peanut butter for heaven sakes! Either way, the servers were all attentive and nice but the one just gave us a lot of info I would've rather not known. I also think they should keep the microwave and keurig in a back room (as well as the toaster I saw behind the counter) so that you can't see your things being made. Overall, presentation of the wine and cheeses was really great and was a cute place to visit. I just couldn't give it a four or five stars after our experience. read more

A friend and I stopped into The Cheese Patch on a Friday night not knowing what to expect, they were in the middle of repainting the dining area, however, James welcomed us in and offered us seats at the bar and began our journey into cheese flights. It was heartwarming to see so many visitors, some new and some old, stroll into a small business and be comforted by the friendly atmosphere. We had decided on the mystery cheese flight and wine. James offered us some samples so that he would be able to create a flight that we would both enjoy. He truly listened to our preferences and made two people that couldn't have been more different love everything that was offered. We had a delightful experience, from the interaction with the other patrons to the exceptional service to the wonderful selection of cheeses and wines. We can't wait to go back and expand our horizons. read more

Even more disappointed after my second visit than my first. The idea of this place is wonderful and it's super cute, and the wine/cheese pairings were delicious which is why I gave it three stars, but the service is just upsetting and they're super stingy with the crackers (I know that sounds like a silly complaint but when you're tasting cheese, you need crackers!) We had a reservation and weren't seated for about 20-30 minutes after we arrived, but the worst part was we were barely acknowledged while we were standing there and people just kept piling up next to us waiting, unacknowledged. When we were finally seated we waited another 10-15 minutes without service, and the waitress gave us our tasting and the rundown but never returned after that until it was time to pay (at which time we were reminded that gratuity was not included!) Such a bummer :( I hate writing bad reviews but it put such a damper on a much-needed date night out for my boyfriend and I. read more

This place really is the gem of Patchogue. We love this place. The collection of cheeses is amazing. We love the wine and beer pairing with some great cheese. The ownership is very friendly and professional with a vast knowledge of all products sold in the store. They stock wonderful cheeses, jams, fruits and nuts, crackers, full gift baskets and so much more. The decor is really warm and inviting, very clean. This place is "a must" whenever we are in Patchogue. It's one of the few places you can recommend and know that recommendation will hold up. read more

I visited this cute little shop last night with my best friend. We were lured in with a great deal from Groupon for a cheese and wine tasting. While I admit,I do love cheese and crackers, my taste in cheese was pretty basic - cheddar, mozzarella, colby and monterey jack. For some reason I couldn't find it in myself to try different cheese. Let me tell you - I went in with an open mind and told myself to try everything and I'm so happy I did! They paired 4 cheeses with 4 wines of their choice and we were in heaven!! The cheese was delicious and the pairings def exceeded our expectations!! We also ordered sides of salami and bought a bottle of wine. We can not wait to go back! If you're into wine and cheese, you need to check this little gem out. read more
