The selection of snacks and cheese is great, most everything is locally made. Very nice customer service, and the store smells amazing! Worth the stop! read more

Not that many cheeses there. We bought the local made cheese and tasted good, never knew that it will be very salty if you eat a bigger piece. so bought a few locally made cheeses & they were all very salty. Wish didn't buy so many .... It's not a big store, so don't expect too many cheeses. The ladies there were friendly. read more

A very worthwhile stop close to the freeway! The two cheeses I purchased, smoked horseradish cheddar and roasted garlic were fantastic and very affordable!! The Beet eggs were good and the whole baby dill pickles were a little soft for my likings but the flavor was great! The staff was super friendly and helpful!! This is definitely a stop I'll remember when I pass by. There's many other items in the shop to check out too. I wish I would have taken pictures but after 800 miles I was done!! read more

The cutest little store! We stopped because we always see their signs when we're traveling through. We expected to just grab some fun cheese, but we didn't even know they sold sandwiches too! The staff was super friendly and made us the best sandwiches! They even made some lettuce wraps for my son who is gluten free! They also have lots of cheese samples try. We ended up buying four blocks! Definitely stopping here again next time we travel through! read more

The Cheese Store - Turkey sandwich on sourdough - Delis Near Me - Sweet Springs, Missouri

I wish I had read the reviews before we took the time to stop. Great signage and advertising along I-70. Unfortunately neither of us made it very far into the store let alone to the cheese in the back. The chemical fragrances that hit you at the door induced an almost immediate headache and we could taste the 'fragrance' in our mouths. I'm not sure what the owner/manager is thinking to have such overwhelming odors at the front of a food store. We would have loved some samples and fully intended to buy cheese to go with our picnic lunch, but the stench made us walk right back out the door. Avoid if you don't like your cheese paired with synthetic fragrances. read more

Very friendly staff, great samples and delicious cheese. Unfortunately I live in Kansas or I would come herd here a lot more often . But if you ever find yourself in sweet springs it's definitely worth a visit. I promise you will not be disappointed. 100% recommend :) read more

Cute little cheese store that has many items from local farmers. Sausages, jellies and wine. This worth getting of the highway and checking out. read more

When you're driving across Missouri and have the thought "what would improve this hours-long journey is some cheese," the Cheese Store is there to serve. Two minutes off I-70 exit 66, the focus at this spot is clearly cheese. However, it's much more than that. Specialty popcorns, local wines, savory sausages, and chocolate candies also tempt. Easy interstate access gets you back on your trip after supplying your temptation. read more

The perfect I-70 pit-stop! It's close to the interstate, provides great snacks while driving (it's not a road-trip without beef jerky), great locally made gifts for those back home, and most importantly - FREE SAMPLES! The prices are very reasonable for being a "tourist attraction" and they proudly feature products from Hemme Brothers Creamery - a righteously great maker of artisan cheeses and related products that is gaining Midwestern notoriety. It's always great to support DIY entrepreneurs and pump a little money into rural economies. We took home several cheese blocks, a bag of curds, beef jerky sticks, crackers, cinnamon rolls and chocolates. A definite stop anytime heading down I-70 in the future. read more

Great cheese selection. Great customer service. Local business support for small business. You not only get a great product, you help smaller communities read more

We saw signs for the Cheese Store for miles and miles and miles and had to stop. It is cute, clean, and has every kind of honey, jam, cheese, you name it. The staff is friendly and helpful. We were surprised but thrilled when offered a chance to sample some cheeses. The young woman brought out a tray of individually marked covered cups of 20+ cheeses. She suggested using one end of the toothpick for one sample and the other end for the second sample. It made perfect sense. What did not make sense is when the other woman asked me not to put the toothpick in my mouth before sampling the cheese ; rather take the cheese sample off the toothpick before eating "so they could "reuse the toothpicks." WHAT? She said something about it being a state law. Poppycock! No state, city, or town would allow this kind of probable cross-contamination. We instantly felt ill at the thought of using a previously used toothpick. Unfortunately, that brought our up-to-this-point delightful visit to a crashing end. This toothpick policy is thoroughly unsanitary and disgusting, regardless of Covid. The lady who helpfully suggested the toothpick-saving-method was quite pleased with her suggestion. Urp. This dangerous and unsanitary practice makes us not recommend visiting here and if we could give zero stars, we would. read more

Fantastic cheeses! We highly recommend the local Hemme Brothers cheeses. The aged cheddar, applewood smoked and rubbed/smoked cheeses were our favorite. We are kicking ourselves for not getting the espresso cheddar. Very friendly staffer helped us with a cheese tasting. Worth the stop! read more

This isn't really a review, it's mainly just to clearify a review made on 6/4/2022 by Laura S. from NH. She stated how one of the employees suggested using one end of the toothpick to try a sample and then use the other side for a second sample. She then said that another employee (woman) asked them not to put the toothpick in her mouth before sampling the cheese but rather take the cheese sample off the toothpick before eating it "so they (meaning the store) could reuse the toothpick." I feel like there was some misunderstanding somewhere, we DO NOT reuse the toothpicks! Yes, we do ask our customers to stab the piece of cheese with a toothpick and take it off with their other hand and put it in their mouth so THEY can reuse the toothpick. We would never let a customer use a toothpick after someone else did. Nit sure but just a thought, maybe it might have been hard to hear because of other customers near by or the employee didn't talk loud enough. My name is Linda and I manage the store. The review I'm speaking of has really bothered me so I wanted to let her and others know we work really hard at keeping the store clean, safe and to do things right. Not sure what the being a state law was really about except maybe to not put the toothpick in a persons mouth. As manager, I will definitely talk to my employees about this. Thank You to everyone that takes the time to stop in at The Cheese Store in Sweet Springs, Mo., we truly enjoy our customers! We are just one little store hoping that we can satisfy our customers. We meet a lot of really nice people that travel through on I-70. Hoping that Laura S. will give us another try if they ever come our way again. I had to make an account to reply and not sure why it shows that I'm from San Francisco, CA., it should show Sweet Springs, Mo. read more

So, so, so glad we stopped here on the way to Columbia. This is a don't miss place! More cheese than you can imagine of all kinds and flavors, along with lots of local Missouri wines, sausages, and other random treats- many locally made. We were here 10 days before Christmas, and got so many great stocking stuffers. The staff was so nice and accommodating- they give you free cold packs so you can take all the wonderful cheese home with you. They have samples galore, so we knew exactly what we were getting. LOVE The Cheese Store! read more

The cutest little store! Stopped in spontaneously on a road trip and was not disappointed. I got the apple wood smoked cheese curds and I'm obsessed. I will be back:) read more

There were so many places I could've stopped between Nashville and Colorado including a place that is specifically for taking selfie's that I thought would be really cool to do with my dog however I just wanted to keep driving that is.... until I saw all the signs for the cheese store. Fantastic store! So many great cheese options! I got a jalapeño habanero cheese curd bag. It was really good! I ate it at the beautiful cemetery down the road. It smells so good when you walk into the store, but not like cheese; they have many other really neat items. They carry some drinks here like Milo's tea and lemonade. I believe there was also an alcohol selection which I suppose would make sense at a cheese store. There are some precut summer sausages it sounded so good as well as many other snack items. The women working were so helpful and they have a really cool book put together on the process of making the cheese and things I think it would be neat for kids to check out depending on their age. There's a restroom too! read more

We love being able to stop at this place when traveling on I-70. Fresh cheese, bread, and pastries among other goodies. We come for their variety of cheeses and wonderful bread! I'm not much of a sandwich eater and do not buy sliced bread on the stores because of all the preservatives thrown in. This store has fresh baked preservative free bread. You can definitely find a cheese for you! Soooo many styles and varieties. They support locally grown foods and you can also find local jerky's and snack mixes. I recommend checking them out on your travels through Missouri!! read more

I stopped in here while on a trip to see the eclipse! Man was I glad traffic on the interstate was backed up and I got a chance to pop in here! I was so glad to get off the road for a minute and just see something unique and cool. Also it helps that they sell cheese. I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some cheese! Upon arriving I saw that they hosted a small eclipse watching event and had quite the consortium of customers this day. Many of us popped in from other states of course. The staff was very friendly and attentive given the additional customer flow this day. I also enjoyed the variety of non cheese items that were made locally and available in the store! I love locally made products, especially when sold in a locally owned business such as this. Of course I sampled a handful of the cheeses they had. One to remember had habanero peppers! Man it was delicious but the one same I had took me straight to my heat limit! I did make a few selections to take home and even got a bottle of locally made wine! Easy 5 out of 5 stars for me! Stop on by! read more

Pretty underwhelming. With the big interstate signs, I guess I was expecting more. Some nice local cheeses but only one tiny package of goat cheese. Would have been nice to have a little seating area to the right instead of tables with random items on them resembling a flea market set up. I wish them luck with their store but won't be stopping in again. read more

Stopped at The Cheese Store on a road trip--what a tasty surprise. If you are a cheese lover be sure to stop here and buy the local Hemme Brothers "Brother's Keeper Aged Cheddar." One of the best cheddar I ever ate!! And the Hemme Brothers cheese curds are good too. Do a sampling of the Hemme Brothers cheeses. You won't be disappointed. read more

AMAZING hidden local gem right off I70! I'm from Wisconsin and the curds here run a stiff competition to wisco curds! And out-does us on curd variety... siracha, ranch, jalapeno, garlic herb, sour cream and onion, and amazing taco flavor! Lots of other local treats, yummies, homemade items, and some pretty promising-looking brats we'll be having for dinner. Most items seemed to be locally produced, including the cheeses! To top it all off... clean restrooms, a lovely little flower shop, and most if all... SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF and samples! C ant go wrong with a pit-stop here for road snacks! read more

Very underwhelming considering the huge signs along the highway. Being a cheese fan I was expecting to be surrounded with multiple cheese selections, but was disappointed to find about 20 different kinds of cheddar and only a small selection of other gourmet cheeses. Since we made the trip out of our way to stop here, we went ahead and got some dill havarti cheese. The cheese was really good but nothing that was over the top spectacular. They offer samples which is awesome and it really is a cute place. It's just not what we expected. read more

Super cute little cheese shop with sweets and a flower arrangement business. The two ladies working here were very nice welcoming. Details: 1) $5 credit card minimum which is easy to do since you'll want to buy a little bit of everything 2) Clean bathroom 3) TONS of interesting cheese varieties perfectly cut in to little cubes for tasting 4) Spreads, crackers, drinks, meats, and sweets. Come on in you're in for a treat. Literally read more

My dad and I stopped by The Cheese Store in Sweet Springs MO. on the way West from California to Maryland in early July 2021. This was the best lunch stop of the trip, bar none. We enjoyed the samples, and bought some for lunch. Bought a t-shirt there as well... "We cut the cheese...!" And they are very convenient to I-70... read more

The Cheese Store - Delis Near Me - Sweet Springs, Missouri

Saw the billboard for cheese and obviously we had to stop. We walked in and the gal working with the cute nails gave us the run down on these bad ass local cheeses; she was so knowledgeable about her cheese! They have free samples (all of them were amazing it was really hard to choose) but we decided on some siracha cheese curds. 10/10 would recommend. Also super fair prices. This is probably the dopest thing about this small town and we almost definetely wouldn't have stopped in if it werent for this adorable little local cheese store. read more

Loved this place, cheese was yummy, ladies were nice. Not far out of the way. They had free samples

Saw a billboard for The Cheese Store on 70 as we were driving back to STL from a girl's trip. I smugly demanded we stop and my counterparts groaned but complied. All four of us were impressed by the quality, variety, and prices. It was a great treat - well exceeding everyone's expectations. I highly recommend popping in. read more

A fun little destination if you love cheese! Even if cheese isn't your thing, there are other items available. Dips, sauces, brats, ice cream, wine, even crafts, decor and gifts. Many of their products are locally made. The staff is friendly and super helpful. They are happy to let you try samples of many of the cheeses and dips. Definitely worth a visit. We try to stop here whenever we come through the area. read more

Cute store. Free samples. Very friendly. GOOD cheese! It's a mile off the Hwy, it's worth it.

Wow! Great cheese selections, even a chocolate/walnut sweet cheese, and you can sample lots of the cheeses with toothpicks. Lots of pepper jellies, condiments and crackers, too. This place and the Old School Coffee Shop down the street are a good combo visit in Sweet Springs, MO. read more
