Delicious treats like goat milk ice cream, and pizzas. Wonderful garden seating area. Cheese tasting experience extraordinaire. We did it all. We spent maybe an hour and a half here when we thought we'd be in and out much quicker. The tasting is set up perfectly. All their cheeses are available to taste, paired with a vast assortment of preserves. We enjoyed everything immensely, and walked out with $110 worth of goods... which consisted of 6 cheeses (essentially buy 5, get 1 free) and 4 preserves / hot sauces. We've already opened the first cheese, goat cheese with olive tapenade, at a party we were at the evening we got home from the Island. It was the snacky hit of the evening.

I don't think of myself as a cheese snob, but maybe that's best for others to judge. That being said, many of the small WA producers seem to cater to the gourmet crowd, with specialty cheeses at premium prices . Twin Sisters, on the other hand, was such a pleasant surprise, being very unpretentious and down to earth. In other words, they were just making and selling darn good cheese. The blue cheese they're most known for was very creamy with an intense flavor. The others we tasted were very tasty as well. In addition to the four cheeses they make themselves, they also sell a variety of cheeses from other producers, both locally and outside of the area as well as specialty meats and other craft products. The service was super friendly and informative too. A great find and I was happy to learn their products are also available in the Seattle area at the fancier grocery stores.

I stopped by for a glass of wine and ended up leaving with 2 bottles plus a new appreciation for Washington GSMs and pinots! Purchased a 2017 GSM (grenache-syrah-mouvedre) from Latta, Columbia Valley AVA ($25) and a 2019 Syrah from Rockgarden Vineyards, Walla Walla AVA. Looking forward to trying both soon! Definitely splurge in the charcuterie boards; they are works of art!

Bring a cooler as you're going to buy a lot. The shop carries a lot of great products like wine, meat, soup bones, phenomenal salami and of course cheese. I loved it so much, I made a second trip just before heading back to Seattle. As much as I love a quick jaunt from Seattle, they do sell their products at two of Seattle's largest farmers markets and you can place orders online. The Gouda is next level!!! Run don't walk. This place will knock your socks off.

Cider and wine can be purchased to compliment cheese and crackers. Cheese can be purchased in pre-weighed rounds or by the ounce. I purchased the Queso Diablo, Basil Ladysmith and Dill cheese along with some crackers. Service was friendly. It would have been helpful choosing if samples were available.

Will definitely be back to try some of their delicious cheese as well. From the looks of it I'm sure they have no problem with you having a family picnic there if you bought a few things from the farm store, idyllic country side near the city at its best. Maybe a five minute drive from willobrook mall and I'll take this over their food court any day!

The Cheese Shop is a well kept secret and definitely worth the drive.. you will Not be disappointed!!! It's an amazing little spot!
