It's a great shop for snooping around for gift ideas of all sorts - not just cheese. Only giving it a 3 star rating for now, at least until my next visit. I seem to be going to Perth on a more regular basis these days. My reasoning is that although they call themselves a cheese shop, I don't remember much about their cheeses! They are offering a variety of other things as well, and cheese is not even the first thing you see when you walk in the door, although I do remember seeing one refrigerator of a variety of cheeses offered. This is a store, and not a restaurant, so there's no seating inside. Everywhere you look, you see eye candy! It would be a great place to find a gift for that special someone in your life. There's plenty of parking outside and near the shop, and it's down town and close to other amenities, like the Perth Museum. I'll take another look during a future visit to Perth, just to get a better glimpse and possibly a taste of their cheese :-)

A cheese lovers paradise- House of Cheese has pretty much anything your looking for- though…read moresometimes for a price! The wafting smell of stinky cheese will draw you in from the market stalls to a small space packed with a great variety of cheeses from Canadian cheddars, Okas, wonderful Quebec cheeses, British specialties and of course the incomparable French varieties. The staff are crusty but knowledgeable and the if you ask, they will be able to recommend something suited to your palette and wine/meal pairing. My husband and I discovered a few great cheeses while on holiday in France which they stock. Mont D'or is a melty cheese that comes in a small wooden pot which you heat in the oven and dip your bread into. It is very much to die for but it's only available around xmas time and it's 3x the price here than it is in France! The other favourite of ours is from the Beaufort region. It's a hard cheese with a creamy/nutty taste- really nice as part of a cheese platter selection.

I like it in my sandwiches, crumbled on my salads, baked in my pasta dishes.. Heck! I like to cut myself a piece and "nom" it while I'm waiting for my dinner to cook. My favourite location for cheese shopping is the House of Cheese. Conveniently located in the Byward Market, it is easy to pop in during an afternoon of running errands. As you would expect of a House of Cheese, this store features all kinds of cheeses in various textures, flavours and varieties. They have cheeses from all over the world and a variety of local cheeses! An avid locovore, I am a huge fan of planning and shopping for my meal in the market and often return home with a fabulous cheese from The House of Cheese. Throughout the year, they also have various gift baskets available that would make great Christmas gifts, year end gifts for teachers or even house warming presents. The staff is very knowledgable and ready with recommendations as the various kinds of cheeses can be somewhat overwhelming. If you are looking to pair your cheese with something a little different, they also carry various spreads, crackers and jellies. It is a great place to pop in if you are hosting a party and looking for something a little more than the basic "cheese and cracker" plate.

The self guided tour is a nice touch since you can just come in and enjoy the entire facility. It is a cool spot with plenty to see inside and out, lots of seating and a very welcoming vibe. Good food, good ice cream, and a great market. The market was definitely my favorite spot with how many local goods they featured other than just their own dairy. The history of the place was fascinating and it was really great to actually watch the production floor putting out all of the delicious cheese. Of course, the highlight for our 4 year old daughter was the ice cream shop. Their service was super quick for food and ice cream. I wish we could have brought more back with us.

They had so many cool bbq sauces, dressings, spices and pickles. I scored a jar of Putters pickles. They are amazing deli style pickles that are so hard to find in Ottawa stores. Of course I had to pick up cheese, and lots of it! They also had a intriguing selection of candy in the shop, but I got sucked into the candy surprise bags that were by the cash. They were $2.25 for a small bag, or $3.99 for a large bag. The small bags were stuffed with a small thing of jujubes and a lollipop. Total bust. Next up to the cafeteria, where the hubby and I shared a family size poutine with extra curds on top. The gravy is amazing and on point. Ended things with a scoop of Kawarthas ice cream. Totally missed the stairs to get up to the second floor to view the production area. I totally see myself coming back.

The outside displays are always enticing; everything from fresh herb plants to produce can be seen as a backdrop to a small outdoor seating area, which is a great place to chill once you've grabbed a quick ready-to-go item for a snack or lunch. Typical items are sandwiches, fresh pizza, baked goods. Also, coffee is pretty decent. I'm a big fan of their move to support gluten free products. They currently carry Purest, a brand that's based in ON, and every Wednesday is gluten-free day; they have pizza and sandwiches that are really yummy. And, today I even scored a GF brownie - delicious. Prices definitely reflect the quality, which I won't complain about - it just makes it a more occasional stop for me.

Delicious soup, spinakopita and other goodies. They sell almost all local produce, with some flux during the winter months. Lots of meat, cheese options as well as veggies and a growing section of other staples like flour and beans. CSA drop-offs also abound here and it sort of turns into a cool little hub of activity in the summer. Not really much by way of seating area except during the summer time when the outside area turns into a patio area. Also probably some of the best coffee in Kingston. Bueno bean is the bomb.

When you pick up the salami, check to see if there's a skinny plastic sleeve on it. For some reason, the manufacturers seem to double-cover these things; that's something I've seen even at the grocery chains. Most of these places will allow you to try a slice before purchasing it. The clerks here are pretty good about this. It's not that humongous of a store, and no seating is provided inside, but they do offer a sandwich bar, where you can order specialties to go. You're not required to pick a number to get service, but it does get busy in here. The shop has a cement floor, with display cases laid out in front of you as you walk in. All the meat is displayed on clean displays. I will definitely go back.
