After trying their new goat cheese + honey + apricot spread, we quickly got a small container. Paired with locally made crackers, our pre-dinner appetizer was set! The mustards are made in house and are award winning. Don't be shy - you can sample them all! And when (not if) you finish a jar, you can bring it back in for a discounted refill. Our favorites are the Original (IPA) and Smoked. They're so delicious that we eat them straight out of the jar (yum), add it to our cheese platters, or use it in cooking. They offer a sampling trio, which we purchased as a gift. They make other creative mustard mixes (think horseradish mustard) that isn't part of their regular offering - so be sure to ask to try what new flavors they have that day. They offer a selection of other locally made food stuffs, including pickles and hot sauce.

There was a duo playing guitar and Saxaphone together, so we grabbed a small charcuterie plate and a couple of glasses of white wine and settled in for a really enjoyable evening. With all those pieces in place, we sat back and soaked in the tunes while sipping and munching. What a great way to unwind from the hectic week we'd had. Looking forward to future opportunities to come here and do it again!

Anyhow, the reason I wanted to post something is, as excellent as their chevre is, they also produce this semi-soft cheese called blomma which is even better. It's creamy and complex and pungent and so freakin' good. It destroys all other Ohio cheeses, and I think it belongs in the same company of some of the best U.S. artisan cheeses around . Humboldt Fog, Pleasant Ridge Reserve, Purple Haze...the blomma is every bit as good as these. It can be maddeningly hard to find, but it's worth tracking it down. (Check out http://www.lakeeriecreamery.com/ for their retail locations.) **** There also used to be this solo German- or Austrian-accented guy who used to sell these wild-ass cave-ripened cheeses around here. (Cave-ripened smethe, I think he called it....probably a German word for "smells like gym socks.") He just disappeared from the farmer's markets one day without explanation. If anyone knows who he was and if he's still in business, drop me a message. Goddamn if that guy didn't ever produce some glorious stink.

I will give my money to people who respect their customers! I'll give never be back! A friend and I parked in the customer parking lot and walked into the store and bought a couple gifts. We decided to grab lunch across the street. When we returned we noticed a suburban intentionally blocking our car in. When I politely walked into the wine store and asked for the car to be moved I found out this was the store owners car! He was mean, nasty, and condescending to me explaining that I had to wait until he was ready because I was parked in "his spot". So I sat in my car for a good 10-15 minutes waiting for him to move his car. He made pulling out of the parking spot a 20 minute ordeal.

Occasion: Visiting my daughter and can't resist a European style market…read more I really wanted to like this store. It was full of interesting products that looked very diverse and decently priced. So why only one star? I am a disabled person who has a service dog to help me. As soon as we walked in the door, the woman who owns the shop fought her way through the crowd to get to me and demanded to see my dog's registration papers to prove she was a service dog. Oh, boy... I politely explained to her that registration is not a thing for service dogs and shared with her the 2 legal questions that businesses are authorized to ask dog handlers, and volunteered my responses. She insisted that she knows better and that there is a registry for service dogs and she will need to see Piper's registration to allow us to remain in her store. She even went so far as to tell me she'll call the police and have them tell me there is a registry for service dogs. I let her know that's not necessary I'll find and correct the police if they're incorrectly stating ADA requirements. (this happens more often than you might imagine.) I confirmed with her the location of the police in WSM and went to find one. I did get her to accept my ADA card though, so that's progress. After the lady harassed me about Piper, I didn't have much of an appetite for her wares. We left feeling trampled on and violated. Note: I did seek out the officer. Not only did the officer understand ADA requirements, he offered to go with me to correct the woman. I told him that I would never patronize her store now so I'm not interested in accompanying him, but I appreciate his effort to prevent her from discriminating against the next dog handler that enters the premises. He chased me down in a crowded market later to tell me that he'd had a conversation with the woman and she now understands ADA law. Would I recommend? not if you're disabled Would I return? not on your life Service Dog Grade: F. Denied access and required police correction. I have never filed a complaint re: ADA before today:(

They are delicious and I just love the surprise element. The last time I was here, I got their pork schnitzel and a fresh pickle. Again, absolutely delightful. We are so fortunate to have ethnic markets like this in our area. Whenever I'm on the east side I try to go there. The service is great and I'm sure somebody could help me translate when a label is not in English, but most of the foods have pictures and are pretty self-explanatory. I also want to mention that it's very clean.

My LTR partner is a native Russian, so over the years has made many a trip here, as have I this…read morepast year or so. One of our fave purchases is Kvass imported from Russia. What is Kvass? (Phonetic Spelling: k-vahs). Russian kvass is a probiotic-rich, low-alcohol beverage made primarily from rye bread, distinguishing it from other fermented drinks like kombucha and kefir, which use different base ingredients and fermentation processes. Unlike many commercial versions of kvass, traditional kvass retains live cultures and has a unique, complex flavor profile. (I liken it to cold root beer, with a hint of sassafrass tea). The brand we purchase comes in a two liter & has live cultures, so it is refrigerated; it features an Orthodox Papal figure. It is delicious! He usually also purchases various chocolates and candies, as well as small frozen sweets that resemble tiny chocolate dipped waffle cone ice creams. I know minimal Russian, so he usually speaks for us. TBH-I don't think I'd be comfortable going as a non native Russian speaking consumer.
