This little shop is absolutely adorable and full of charm. Most of their products are locally sourced, and you can feel the care that goes into the selection. The cheese and condiment options were phenomenal, truly one of the best curated selections I've seen in the area. They also have a cute wine bar tucked in the back, which adds to the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The sandwiches and deli items in the case looked so good that I'm already planning to come back for lunch next time I'm in town. Everything looked fresh, high quality, and thoughtfully put together. The staff was friendly, kind, and clearly passionate about what they do. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the products. A wonderful little spot with great people and even better cheese, I'll definitely be back to enjoy "good company" in every sense of the name!

We ordered 2 craft cocktails off their well rounded cocktail menu. I love floral cocktails so I ordered a Rose Negroni $12 and my husband ordered a bourbon cocktail Lindsey's Lament $13. We loved them! For lunch we ordered pimento dip with crackers a SALUMI SANDWICH $14 fennel salami, Fra'Mani mortadella and capicollo. provolone, Mama Lil's peppers, & basil pesto on sourdough bread and a BRIE, HAM, 8 JAM SANDWICH $14 with double crème Brie, Oregon apricot jam, and Fra'Mani sweet apple ham on sour dough bread. Both sandwiches were fresh and delicious. Since we were the only customers on this quiet afternoon, we sat for a while enjoying our cocktails and sandwiches planning our next visit.

Whew! Loved Cheese & Crack Snack Shop and will be thinking about it for a long time to come =')…read more Came here from a recommendation from a friend as an afternoon snack. Hubs & I shared the Beecher's & Brie Brulee and The Cheese & Crack Sundae. The Beecher's & Brie Brulee was honestly very good and shareable for 2 people. I've been a bit obsessed with brulee cheese since having it in Italy, but rarely see it anywhere so I was excited to see it here! And it was delish. Like an adult's lunchables, you can build your own sweet or salty or savory bite! Yum! The Cheese & Crack Sundae was delicious Vanilla Soft-Serve with a chocolate ganache and toasted marshmallow that make it like a s'more ice cream sundae. Really loved it, as it was *not to sweet* and I loved the toasted marshmallow bites. Service was fairly quick. They have one unisex restroom that was fairly clean. Parking is easy (street parking) if you don't mind walking a little.

Visited on a Wednesday night, thinking maybe there wouldn't be a long line, but I was surely wrong!…read moreWaited about 25-30 minutes, but I felt that it was worth it (for once!). The cones are $4 and you have the option to add flavored "dust" such as espresso, matcha, beet, and malt. My wife chose the malt dust with an added chocolate cowboy hat. She was very pleased with, but found the ganache at the bottom of the cone entirely too rich. Each cone offers a large amount of ice cream, and there did not appear to be sizes, but all in all, a very instagrammable and delicious cone. I opted for the banana pudding sundae, which consisted of the vanilla soft service and banana pudding topped with two Nilla wafers. I do this this could be a bit improved by adding Nilla wafers throughought the cup, but it was creamy and satisfied the sweet tooth nonethless. The indoor space was cozy with a few seats either facing the kitchen or the window. There's also an outdoor platform that most people opted for since the line really made inside feel crowded. Staff was friendly and delivered orders accurately in spite of crowds. I would love to return to cheese plates and/or the brie & marionberry sammy. Would 100% recommend if you're looking for a sweet treat with both traditional and more creative flavor profiles.

You can go through this place as fast or as slow as you want to. We might've spent around 2 hours but that was including time in the gift shop and carefully reading each sign closely and watching what happens during each process. We got to try samples of 4 kinds of cheeses, smoked black pepper, white cheddar, and medium cheddar, and one more I forget the name of. We also tried some ice cream. It's a cute little stand that you stand in line and grab and go. The gift shop has a ton of items for everyone, even various packs of cheese and cute stuffed cheese blocks. The cafe had your average grilled cheese/burgers, but we didn't end up eating there. The line was super long and the food didn't look worth it to me for the price point. We did end up getting a sampler of ice cream though, 3 flavors being strawberry, Marion berry, and cookies and cream, which were all really good. They were rich in flavor and creamy. Straight from the factory which was pretty cool.

When you go inside for the self guided cheese tour, they give lots of cheese samples!! So yummy! They also have a huge gift shop! It was so much fun to shop in.

I have learned a ton about wine through this shop, and expanded my tastes. I had never heard of orange wines, and now they're a favorite - and I got my introduction because one was paired with Yoda. It is fun and delicious. The wine pairings are always great, and such a fun talking point for both wine and the topic in discussion. Grab a friend that also loved The Pitt, and chat about the nuances of characters while enjoying some good wine and reflecting on what makes a wine "ambitious". The conversation is built in, and the wine is fantastic. This is the wine shop that led to me buying a wine fridge, and then to upgrading to a larger wine fridge. This is one of my very favorite "third spaces" - where they get to know you quickly, where the tables next to you are always up for a little cross-talk, where the shop just feels like the hangout spot to be. I can go there with a book for a quiet glass of wine and time to myself, or I can chat and be a bit more social and meet some cool people - both are very welcome and fit in just fine. This wine shop is so good I'm a wine-club member, despite living in Washington.

If you plan to visit (and I strongly suggest you do), be sure to check their website for their business hours. They are open from Wednesday to Sunday, so you'll want to stock up to get you through the seizing of Mondays and Tuesdays.

It's a fun experience to learn about the cheeses themselves. Prcies and portions were great too. The Five Cheese Plate was perfect for three people to share, came with choice of bread/crackers, jam, and nuts/olives. The extra meat add-on was a bit stingy though. We got six slices of the Cardamom Salami for $4, but it's very unique. I'd be back to try more cheeses!

We wanted to…read moredo something in the area that wasn't the Tillamook cheese factory and Yelp directed us here. I'm so glad it did. They have a shop with cheese, wine, ice cream, snack options and lots of other items. There is also an area outside where you can sit and enjoy your food. They have animals on the property and we purchased some feed for them inside the shop. It's only $1 a bag so we bought lots and headed out to meet them. I loved spending time with the animals but they were not at all interested in the feed. We happened to be eating a sandwich and they were much more interested in that. They have a wide range of animals, from sheep to alpacas and donkeys and ducks and chickens and even peacocks. There's lots to see. That said, I can't really give them five stars because like a lot of the reviews mention, the state of some of the animals is concerning. As much as I enjoyed interacting with them, there were things about their care and surroundings that made me feel really sad. Something I did really appreciate though is that this location allows you to camp overnight in your RV or van for free. This is a huge perk when you're traveling through the area. Because we got here late in the afternoon. We did end up staying the night, but if you decide to take advantage of that be prepared for the bugs. There were so many bugs. There is plenty to see and do here and this place definitely has a lot going for it. If you're road tripping this is a good place to stop. You can get supplies, spend some time with the animals and have a safe place to spend the night.

Briar Rose Creamy, which specializes in cows milk cheese, offers an open window for sample tasting, which is accessible after driving down a gravel road in Dundee. Their cheese is served on cheese & charcuterie boards at nearby Dundee Hills & Willamette Valley wineries. We were offered samples by the cheese maker's husband, who shared the story of their business, her journey from her early days at Cowgirl Creamy in Marin, to starting her own company, & advised us on their offerings. While tasting, we could see straight back into the cheese making facility, with people busy at work. It just doesn't get any closer to the source than that. We enjoyed each Briar Rose cheese we tried, but particularly the Butterbaby, a soft bloomy rind Guernsey cow's milk cheese, and their sweet, tangy, spreadable formage blanc. I wish they had been tasting their semi-soft cheese washed in Riesling and wrapped in Spruce bark, called Strapping Evelyn, but it wasn't available to sample the day we stopped by. We picked up several cheeses to take home. A must for anyone who likes an authentic farm stand experience.
