ZenFoodsterJanuary 11, 2018UES Flagship shop w/ focus on American cheeses + menu incl. grilled cheese sammies, soups, salads, charcuterie, wines, local beers & Noona ice cream. Will be back 4 Mac n’ cheese & everyday HH!
TK 🍦🍷May 24, 2014Great for a low-key date night in the 'hood. Congenial & knowledgable service. The cheese plate, prosciutto plate, and chopped salad are all superyum. Their wine and beers lists are interesting too!
Amelia BuckleyDecember 7, 2015Don't think twice - order Lucy's Breakfast Sandwich and weep with delight. The best sandwich I have had since I can recall (for breakfast or otherwise). Ended up ordering two in the same sitting...
Definitely consult with the cheesemongers; they'll provide samples and make sure you'll find a cheese that you will be happy to take home. Also, check out the freezer for high-end ice creams.
Carlos YescasOctober 18, 2013You can get European and American cheese. Coffee is from Counter Culture and bread from Bien Cuit. So they know what they are doing.
Get half soup half sandwich for lunch. Their fig sandwich is amazing. Coffees are great
Jennifer PritchettApril 24, 2014Wonderful date night here. A little pricey, but the ingredients taste top notch. Try the crostini!
Their signature grilled cheese is great - I love it in the combo with the smokey tomato soup.
Nice UES cheese shop. With a nice selection of beer and other prepared foods.
Melissa HongNovember 29, 2013Thought the grilled cheese would be oozy with yummy cheese since they are a cheese shop, but it's not the case. A little too much bread and it is a panini.
Lemaris LorenzoSeptember 18, 2016The grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soups!!! .. delicious! Great place!!!
Gloria DumasOctober 7, 2016Ask the female cheese monger for help! Apparently the happy hour is a steal but strict ending time
Christina NawabiAugust 22, 2015A bit pricy. The grilled cheese and tomato soup combination is insanely good
The new chef changed the soup😕 now from a can... not good anymore.
Beka CFebruary 1, 2017Bad service, dirty food preparation practice, and overpriced food. Keep an eye on the cooks in the back who aren't using gloves and coughing and talking all over the food. Gross.
