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.

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!

I came here with my husband to celebrate our anniversary and we had the best time! I definitely recommend going on a Thursday night for their jazz night. Service was great, food was delicious, music was amazing!

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!

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.

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...

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

My aunt and I traveled on a bitter cold snowy mid Saturday day to speak with the owner about having a bridal shower in her establishment. She was helping one or 2 customers when we came in. She asked what we needed and I said "we would like so speak to a manager about having a bridal shower here." "Ok I'll be with you in a minute. You can sit down" Then another customer came in, and another... she had a young boy working there but he wasn't doing anything. If there's one thing that drives me crazy is the feeling of being completely invisible. Ignored. I have worked in the service industry my entire life. I simple "hey guys I'm so sorry I'm a little busy how about a cup of coffee? Or can you come back in a half hour? Anything... not even eye contact once. We sat and waited and waited. Then we asked the boy there if there was a catering menu. She was taking an order on the phone and clearly spoke louder in order to let him know she was on the phone and not going to answer his question. My aunt and I stood up and waited for her to look our way. Maybe she would apologize and give us a time to come back? Nope - didn't glance at us. We walked out. No one said a word. She lost a lot of money on what would have been our "order." I can't imagine she would've been a good hostess anyway. Her hospitality is for the birds. She micromanages and is clearly a control freak. Not even sure why she has the poor boy working there at all. read more

We went last night with a groupon. We had a 7:30 reservation for 4 people. There were 2 other tables that had people and a few others were sitting at the counter area. We were seated and the woman who sat us down didn't say anything about how it was going to work with the groupon. ( do we choose cheese and wine or is it just prepared and brought over) We sat for about ten minutes before my boyfriend got up and asked if someone was going to come over to us. The girl at the counter said it was crazy busy so they would be right with us. At this point we didn't even want to stay because it was a very unfriendly atmosphere. I'm surprised by all of the other reviews. Anyway, we waited a little longer and she brought over the sampling of cheese and wine. The cheese was good and the wines were tasty. We probably wouldn't go back. read more

Waiter did not even know the name of the cheeses and mentioned to us he just wasn't good with cheese. It was a little odd considering the restaurant was called the cheese patch. The wines were OK ... one tasted as if it may have gone bad. The cheese platter was very small more suitable for 2 people not 4.

I found myself in this little cute place when I finished scoping out prospective bars to bartend at. I thought of just getting a little flight to go and wow, everything and more. Although I was the only customer at that time j enjoyed myself. I was at first in a rush but I didn't mind as the owner and her daughter helped me pick out my cheeses. Now I love cheese, every and all types and this is a great place if you are like me who want to step past the norm. From the goudas to the brie to the cheddar hybrids they have it all! Like seriously a cheesed bathed in merlot?? Tasted awesome. The pairings were very good too and the quality of them were on par with the cheeses.

So, I happened to be in Patchogue yesterday on an errand, and I saw Wisteria Lane as I was driving back North. I had to stop - I worship little boutiques. But what do I worship more than little boutiques? CHEESE! So how psyched was I to see the Cheese Patch sign outside the store? Very psyched. Paige is amazing! Great selection of artisanal cheeses, so different, great varieties! I got a goat Gouda and delish wine crackers and tasted a goat cheddar and a truffle and porcini cheese, too.

I loved everything about this place, the Decor, the ambience, the service and servers bust mostly I loved the cheese. So many different choices. I went with one of my girlfriends to try a quick tasting before we crossed over to Perabell to have dinner .... We ordered The signature cheese flight, which gives you a choice of picking four different cheeses. We each picked two, very fresh, so much flavor and just delicious. We also ordered a side of olives, they were castelvetrano olives, and oh my god they were great. I never was into olives and I never thought that it would become something that I'd crave often. If we weren't meeting others for dinner we most definitely would have had dinner there, they don't have that many selections but the ones they do sound amazing, I mean a grilled cheese from a cheese bar, I just know it's going to be great, can't wait to go back. I feel like the price was decent also. We went on a Saturday and there was a small band playing which I really enjoyed, they music wasn't loud at all, just relaxing. read more

The Cheese Patch is wonderful. Paige is attentive, social and innovative. I go in a few times a month for the to-go lunch or for "day off supplies" when I'm dining with friends. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of her product, and she wears her passion for it on her sleeve. Paige also creates great gift/picnic baskets. She provided me one, which she dubbed the romance basket, for one of the most stressful moment of my life. I planned to ask my girlfriend to marry me, and I was going to use a picnic as an excuse. I already told her the picnic was happening, but work prevented me from getting cooking done that week. I approached Paige about making a basket, and she leaped at the chance. She crafted a basket to our personal tastes, budget and to the occasion. Her work allowed me to execute my plan and focus on what mattered. My fiancee. So yeah, I'd say that she earned her 5 stars. read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon the Cheese Patch while taking a walk in town today. We didn't know what to expect but by the time we left we were delighted. Paige the owner suggested 5 unbelievably good cheeses for a take home platter as we sipped on an amazing triple ale. Such an adorable ambiance, great service, and delicious cheese. Can't wait to come back! read more

The Cheese Patch is definitely a great place to go with friends. Their cheese, meat and flat pizzas were a hit. Their wine options were also very good. Although the place is tiny the servers try to make sure everyone is taking care of. Make sure to make a reservation!!! read more

This was the 3rd time my husband and I were at the Cheese Patch. Paige and Tom the owners are just wonderful. Their knowledge of wines and cheeses are top notch. The last time we were there on Nov 4th, Paige paired the wines with great cheeses. Their Riesling and Chardonnay are to die for if you are a white wine person. Usually I do not care for Chardonnay due to the dryness, but the one they have there is just wonderful. One of the pairings is fig jam with Manchago (unsure of spelling) cheese. We ended up buying the cheese and a jar of fig jam. The atmosphere and love that Paige and Tom put into this place is so worth it. I highly recommend the Cheese Patch. They also have beer and ciders, which are also very good. read more

From the Business

Specialties

What started as a pure love for cheeses of the world has turned into Patchogue's favorite spot for a unique treat and a bite to eat. Our shop is so much more than a purveyor of local and imported gourmet cheese (though it's what we love most) -- we're home to a wealth of knowledge, fun events, and a personalized experience for every customer who walks through our door. We keep wine and craft beer on tap to offer all kinds of pairings, plus offer monthly events so customers can learn more about our wares. Stop by for a taste or ask us about catering an event -- we love sharing our passion with our beloved community.

History

Established in 2012.

We are a small family-run shop that opened in December of 2012. We starting building our business with wine, beers, and wares, then moved to our current location in 2013. We are Patchogue Village residents of nearly 40 years and share a love for the world of cheese as well as wine and craft beers!

Meet the Business Owner: Paige P.

Paige has been been a village resident of Patchogue for over 40 years. She attended Patchogue-Medford High School, Suffolk Community College, and recently graduated from St. Johns University in Queens. She is an active member of the Village of Patchogue Chamber of Commerce and several of their committees. Over the years, she has acquired a devoted love of cheese and even took it as far to learn and study the process of cheese making. It's always been her dream to open a small business in her hometown and she's so grateful to have the opportunity to do do. Paige is thrilled at what Patchogue is becoming (once again) and loves being part of this wonderful community!

Cool spot with a Manhattan vibe "behind" Main Street in Patchogue…read more The reason this is key is because, since they face out to the firehouse and residential areas, parking USUALLY isn't a problem. There's a small lot that's free and you can park on Jennings. (sorry residents). We went on NYE so had to park several blocks away. No biggie. The inside is dark and cool with a city-vibe. Ample bar space and 1-4 tops an some banquet seating that lets you look out over the street. We were greeted right away by what turned out to be our server and seated promptly by the windows (we had a reservation). Also greeted by a gentleman that we think might have been her dad. The young lady hustled all night and managed the crowd well. We never waited too long for her to check in on us and she was very helpful with selecting wine and clarifying menu items. That being said, THIS IS A SMALL PLATES JOINT. People expecting full-sized portions should adjust their expectations accordingly. We did, however, order the Trastavere seafood platter (medium) which came as a tower and seemed impressive. Two types of oysters (large and medium) were presented; briny and fresh and pretty damned tasty. There was also a ceviche and tuna tartare that was, unfortunately, a bit unremarkable, as was the shrimp cocktail (though the shrimps were pretty hefty). The American "black caviar" was a nice way to commemorate the meal. Nutty with a pop of salinity but maybe something you can skip. We meant to order the Carne e Formaggi but got the Gamberetto instead which was fine as it was pretty tasty nonetheless (made with shrimp but it almost tasted like smoked salmon). Virgola Manhattan was good but pretty standard. Follow-up drink of dirty Manhattan was blissfully salty and cold. But back to the menu: we are unsure if they have an actual kitchen back there which would also explain the small plates concept and oyster and chilled fish options. The bruschetta was tasty, as mentioned, but it seems like they cut and toasted the bread and topped it with the crudo. The other bruschetta options featured ingredients from other menu items that could be re-purposed for multiple dishes. Smart but expect this. We plan on returning and trying the charcuterie board (mix and match cheeses and meats) and some cocktails. Overall, a nice night out and a nice option for dining and drinking around Patchogue. Cheers!

We read a recent review where someone proclaimed the owner to be nasty & unfriendly (sure, I am paraphrasing). Those types of reviews are generally emotionally charged and written by plebs I find. More on that toward the end. Pulling up to a rather unassuming east end Long Island small shopping plaza drenched in rain; opening the door, you are taken back to a semi rustic and dim interior. Perfectly elegant in its bucolic charm- with nice lounge music playing. It is a sit where one likes atmosphere. This is meant with the utmost of respect and candour. We were greeted kindly by the proprietoress (Jacqueline), and handed pleasantly robust binders with the wine list and food. Deciding to treat this in the more European café type, we had glasses and charcuterie. I, the Sagrantino, and her the Kerner. Jacqueline was vocally pleased with our interesting choices. The night drew on, more wine ensued, more food, multiple conversations, and I completed reading through each page and wine choice...finding much to be recognised and appreciated (Kirwan, Moric, Georg Breuer to name but a few) At the end of the night, I asked Jacqueline to pick an appropriate nightcap. She not only delivered, but gave us a wonderful story including the provenance and her experiences - ultimately, the word genius came up more than once. To wit, there was nothing here but an exceptional experience with a like-minded wine enthusiast. I felt welcomed and in the frith of old kin. Nasty, belligerent, dullard atmosphere- indeed not.

That's not necessarily a problem--businesses can host private events while remaining open to other guests. The problem was that when I needed to use the restroom, I was told I had to wait until the private event was over because the restrooms were reserved for event guests. If that's the policy, then why are you accepting reservations for other patrons at the same time? Basic amenities like restroom access shouldn't be unavailable to paying customers. It's completely unreasonable to invite guests onto your property, take their reservation, and then tell them they can't use the restroom. The whole situation felt poorly planned and incredibly inconsiderate. If a private event prevents you from providing normal accommodations to other guests, then either don't accept additional reservations or make alternative arrangements. This was a frustrating experience and not one I would choose to repeat.

Firstly the packaging for delivery was superb. Everything arrived warm and neat. Straight to the point I would not order the kung pao kauliflower again, the cauliflower was cut into huge heads, which was a nice sized portion definitely shareable however it was definitely over dressed and a mush-fest. I actually gagged a little like it was meant to be baby food, to each their own though. The overstuffed garlic knot while enormous, do not be fooled by the name, it was maybe some kind of cheese and butter with some pesto. While tasty I consider myself a garlic knot snob this was like the third cousin of a garlic knot twice removed. ON TO THE FABULOUS EATS: Smokey Brussels sprouts = phenomenal, crispy and saucy to perfection. Saucy Burger= delectable, large enough to split. Humus and pita= the best hummus I've had in my life! (Could definitely use some more pita considering the amount of humus you get, I'm not complaining I saved the humus and snacked on it for several days). Cesar salad was a Cesar salad.

I recently visited this charming speakeasy-style wine bar that truly impressed me. The drinks menu was diverse and well-curated, perfectly complementing the amazing cheese boards they offer. Each board was beautifully presented and packed with a variety of delicious cheeses. The ambiance was cozy and intimate, making it an ideal spot for a date or a fun girls' day out. When I visited, it wasn't busy at all, which allowed for excellent service and a relaxed atmosphere. One downside is the early closing time; I wish their hours were a bit longer to enjoy the vibe even more. Also, keep in mind that it's street parking only, so good luck finding parking in Patchogue. Overall, I would love to come back and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a nice low key experience! read more
