The Pearl Road consisted of turkey, raclette cheese and cheddar cheese topped with a spicy berry bourbon mustard between sourdough bread slices then grilled to perfection. The Boho was also a grilled sourdough concoction, this time topped with cheddar, horseradish spread, salami, raclette cheese and grilled onions. Neither one of us could get enough of these two beauties. Dreaming of our next outing here again...

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!

Ask the knowledgeable and friendly people at The Cheese Shop in Cleveland's iconic Westside Market! They not only let you sample anything and everything, they encourage it! They want you to have the best experience you can have and that's so easy with the incredible selection of cheeses and accoutrement! If you want an immersive experience in all things cheese in a setting that screams Olde World, then this is the place for you! I'd recommend the Drunken Goat and the Moody Blue!

And now... they offer charcuterie boards. This was amazing over the holidays. We brought a board to 3 different parties; office, family & friends. Everyone raved about the selection of different meats and cheeses as well as the accompaniments. We also went ahead and bought crackers while we were there so we didn't have to fight the crowds at the grocery store.

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.

The employees don't always use clean gloves behind the counter while preparing orders and I've seen some touch their faces.

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.

They have phenomenal chocolate individually wrapped candies that you buy by the pound. I can't read whatever language is printed on these candies so it's always a guess. 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.
