Was a guest at a private party last night. Absolutely delightful array of champagnes and cheese. Cindy is a remarkably informed and a charming chef, cheesemonger, and local and world expert. And the best hostess. Knows her stuff and loves sharing her talents. Go! Enjoy!
Great great service. Jac was amazing. Thank you for making us feel so special
I love this place! I found this hidden gem while on a date with my girlfriend in downtown Lodi. We were served by a very nice lady and she helped us find some delicious cheese! We ended up going a second time and were served by the same lady, she remembered us! This time we got the Ewephoria Sheep Milk Gouda, Prairie Breeze Gouda, and Red Fox Chedder. The Ewephoria is light and creamy and just a bit salty, by far my favorite. The Prairie Breeze is sweet and salty and melts on your tongue with a bit of tang, my 2nd fav. And the Red Fox chedder is rich and tangy. I seriously recommend all of these :)
Great local, national and international selection of cheeses. Fun, funny staff. The Shaft's blue was the best I've ever had, and Cooper's Hill tastes like a baked potato. Amazing time in this shop! Go there!
Went in this morning to get some fun cheeses and found Cate Schmiedt working today, haven't seen her in a few years, so it was nice catching up! I got Pt Reyes Toma, Pt Reyes Gouda, Brie with mushrooms and Wexford Creamery mature Irish cheddar. Everything was so yummy - we had a charcuterie board with the cheese for lunch. For another time, I got Apple Cranberry Pear chutney-- woah! Will either serve with roast pork or over cream cheese. Maybe both ways! Thanks for the excellent experience again ❤🧀🥖
