William HubaAugust 19, 2015Cool place. Expensive cheeses, and they have a cheese making facility that you can watch.
Lyndsey MSeptember 30, 2014I love the macaroni and cheese, but the grilled cheese with fig is my favorite.
Daryn NakhudaOctober 6, 2011A little bit of Seattle for you New Yorkers. Go get some Stumptown afterwards and remember: the left coast is the right coast :)
- Luna JayOctober 11, 2013Cute space with nice staff... but in terms of cheese selections and varieties, Murray's is better but for sandwiches, come here
If you like cheese then I can't find a reason for you not to love this place. Check out all three levels.
David HolmerJanuary 26, 2013Watching the cheese being made is facinating! Viewable from ground floor or upstairs.
Gordon MeiJune 21, 2014Check out the bar downstairs and try the balsamic mushroom fennel mac and cheese.
Good for quick soup or sandwich because the good is delicious. Skip buying cheese from here, too overpriced compared to Lucy's whey or eataly
Loooove their amazing selection. And cheese sandwiches - YUM!
Caprese grilled cheese and tomato soup on a cold day is a must!
Tara FearonSeptember 21, 2012Grilled Cheese and fig was the best I have ever had so yummy . we be going back often
It's all about the happy hour. A buck off all coffee drinks, 2:30-3:30. Oh, and free samples of cheese.
Grab one of their awesome sandwiches (recommend the fig) and sit and watch them make cheese in front of you.
Do you want fantastic domestic cheeses while being tended to by a well informed staff? Look no further.
Dana DOctober 26, 2011House cheese plate with extra Thai chili spread. Top it off with a Cherry Whack.- Travis BloomAugust 23, 20158 bucks for their delicious mac and cheese during happy hour, not a bad deal
Try the Beecher's Cheese Plate: Flagship, Raw Flagship - Always amazing.
Ask for a Grilled Cheese Martini downstairs... It's not on the menu and one of the more, um, 'interesting' drinks in the city.
Great shop, cheese made in store! French onion soup, cheese curds and sitting on a milk crate chairs!
Larisa GrollemondJune 10, 2016The cheese people are really knowledgable, and happy to let you sample!
Pro tip: mix some tomato soup into your mac and cheese. You won't regret it!
Get the Mac and Cheese. Seriously! Even if you don't like mac and cheese. It's a game changer!- If you order ahead, you can get cheese curds immediately after they're made; BEFORE they're refrigerated.
Mac'n cheese is too creamy for my taste (and not burnt) but the grilled fig & cheese panini & tomato soup are to die for.
Tobie CMarch 17, 2012Their house made cheeses are outstanding. Wish that I bought some to take home.
Alden CatesFebruary 7, 2015Patty melt is awesome but make sure you ask for it medium - mine was tough.
DaynaFebruary 6, 2013The happiest staff and the best grilled cheese and macaroni and cheese in the universe.
Tom JosephApril 25, 2015The grilled cheese sandwich and mac & cheese were good but I've eaten better and the portions are small
Jenna SalsedoAugust 23, 2012Stop in for a sample or buy some Mac and cheese. If not for nothing take a look at the factory!
@JaumePrimeroOctober 25, 2012looking to satisfy that grilled cheese craving? Beecher's delivers the goods on all levels.

Grab a sandwich in our cafe, watch the cheesemakers at work, or wander downstairs to The Cellar to enjoy a glass of wine next to row upon row of cheese.
