Love it. There are so many types. They are always helpful. They even have breads, pastas and crackers to pair with your selection. Nothing more to say, if you love cheese where else would you go ? I mean really.
This place is the stuff of cheese dreams. Cheese everywhere. Fresh sliced prosciutto. Sandwiches and beer (to go). I picked up some manchego the other day and am blown away.
The staff knows their stuff and is so kind.
The sandwich I ordered wasn't totally as yummy as I'd expected (the bread was a bit tough) but still good.
I'm not usually one to buy pricey groceries, but if you're that kind of person there is a lot of stuff here for you! From meats to cheeses and artisanal pickles, any kind of hipster fare can be found here.
You can definitely come here to splurge for a picnic, too. We grabbed a baguette, cheese, prosciutto and some watermelon beers to go for Gov Island.
As far as the sammies go, this place is on point. One day my group of friends got every sandwich on the board, and each one was unique and wonderful — just like a snowflake. The menu changes daily, so I'll be back to gnosh.
Was waiting for a table but me and the missus was starving so we ran across here to get a pair of prosciutto sammiches, one as-is, and one with balsamic in lieu of pesto. While we waited I grabbed a cold brew with some milk; the coffee seemed to have a hint of cinnamon and had the familiar earthy, chalkiness to it.
We were also looking at the ham selections and saw that they were selling it for $40 a pound. At first I thought it was a bit on the crazy side–but I think the lady at noticed us eyeing the gorgeous meats and gave us a sample ( a tiny slither of course) but at first nibble my mouth exploded in just happiness. We realized that it's worth the price, but it was out of our price range (We'll probably come back to splurge)
Back to the sandwiches. I was worried that they'd give us a few slithers but it was surprisingly a decent amount. Out of loyalty I had my friends all take bites and saw all their eyes go wide. I'll definitely come back when I get the chance.
As a side note maybe I'll see if they can toast the ciabatta a bit–but it was still tasty as-is.
Great selections of cheeses from around the world. I could easily live in this store. Stinky Brooklyn knows their cheese.
I went there unsure of what I was looking for. I described what kind of cheeses I like and they recommended some of the best cheese I've ever had.There's NOTHING better than that. I will defiinitely be coming back and bring all my friends!
Good cheese and meat shop. There was a beer selection as well as all the other sauces and dips and crackers and things you could have accompany your recently procured meat n cheese.
Came in with the idea to feed myself and my friend a substantial in-between snack. Very friendly male employee asked some questions to gauge which way to go and let me try different samples of the cheeses. I knew what kind of meat I wanted but he made sure to show me the thickness he was cutting it into and suggest the amount needed for two growing women.
No wine at this one but their sister store sells it down the street.
For two chunks of cheese, some prosciutto, bag of crostini slices and bottle of fancy fizzy water it came to about $24. Pretty good.
There was some seating in the front but Im not sure how the eat-in situation works.
Such a charming artisanal meat and cheese store in Brooklyn. Good place to stop by to get some of your favorite cured meats as well as try out some exotic and traditional handcrafted cheeses. They also have a wide selection of pickles and other fermented goodies for you to buy and snack on. There is a small selection of stool seats near the window, so a party over around four can sit around and nosh after shopping.
As liberal and open as I am, there IS one word that makes me uncomfortable and makes me want to hide…and that word is… stinky. The word stinky makes me enormously uncomfortable. I was walking around Smith Street with my bestie when we saw a giant word that said *nervous gulp* STINKY. I was happy that I was on the other sign on the street, and away from the giant STINKY sign. My bestie however, was intrigued by the side and was eager to find out, just what was so stinky.
Little did I know, this incredible cheese shop is my version of what heaven probably looks like. The store is incredibly clean, inviting, and spacious. There are shelves of specialty and gourmet items such as breads, dips, honeys, products, etc. So much to look at, it's hard not to buy something from the shelves! After checking out the shelves, we made our way over to the counters where an enormous array of cheese, and some meats were laid out. The staff here is among the sweetest and friendliest I have ever met. The store offers free samples and the counter help is very very knowledgeable about their products (impressive because the cheeses are so vast) and helpful when choosing. We tried a brie cheese (the Jesus of all cheeses) that was creamy and sooooo soft. After a few more samples we decided to go with the Rivertown (think Brie but less harsh, and very creamy and flavorful like a brie) and the Gruyere which was amazingly sharp and nutty. We also got the duck prosciutto, if you are a fan of duck and prosciutto this was amazing. Greasy, flavorful goodness! Altogether we got the gruyere cheese, rivertown cheese, duck prosciutto, a bag of buttery and delicious crostini, honey made especially for cheese, and a few caramel candies at the register for a little over 30 dollars. I was shocked! We felt that this was beyond reasonable for a specialty shop…especially one so popular! If you love cheese you must come here! Absolutely heavenly! Can't wait to go back, wish I could live there. Perfect date night spot! Well OK, perfect to me because I love cheese.
