Simple and perfect-sized cheese selection for your upcoming party (or Saturday afternoon snack). Fresh bread by the door, variety of meats and great beers on tap (which unfortunately, you can't preview). Overall, a great shop. Everyone who works here isn't pretentious or uptight and will help you out with any questions. I dig.
This little spot has a great selection of artisanal cheeses and charcuterie, some prepared foods, antipasti, bread, oil/vinegar, food spreads, and a lot of great, somewhat obscure craft beer. To top all that, they have rotating drafts and will fill/refill growlers for you. Yes, sir.
The staff are super friendly, helpful, and will let you taste stuff when you're being indecisive (wink, wink). A nice small business worth supporting in the area. If you're a fan of places like BK Larder or Murray's, then this is the place for you.
I walked in and asked if they had anything really smelly. And runny.
Most market employees would grimace. When that request excites the staff, you've found a good place.
They sold me a cheese from France that was ripe as heck. A cured meat sausage from Italy that was rich and perfect. I bought some olives here and grapes from another place, allowing me to eat like a king for the next week.
Simple products with profound flavors… be it beer, cheese, bread, jam (whatever). It's magic when it works.
If you like simple pleasures when it comes to food, visit here.
The Ploughman is pretty much what a cheese shop should be. The place isn't big, but it is extremely clean and it also has a lot of great cheese (most importantly). But it's the staff really makes this place stand out. Everyone from the owner down is friendly and knowledgeable. They're also happy to give away samples (within reason of course).
What I really love here is the pairings, especially the beer. Very good selection of beer that rival many supposed "craft beer" specific shops. They even have Bourbon County and other more high end beers. They also are good about suggesting pairings, both with the bottles they have as well as growlers. They also have plenty of sausages to go with the cheese as well. I'd come here much more if it was on my side of the park, but even still I like walking over here once in a blue moon.
Great bread and cheese. Very expensive but really good stuff and they gave me samples so I bought the right stuff!
