Great artisanal cheese and beer establishment. Unique products and merchandise. Large selection of craft Brewery concoctions. Most available in cans for Take Out. Patio seating and some limited bar stools. Some events and tastings available. Close to public transportation with some limited parking in this residential neighborhood.

This place has a nice selection of specialty items but they are quite expensive overall and they charge a 4% service charge without telling you if you do not pay cash. When I asked where the sign was warning customers of this fleecing, the cashier pointed to a business card taped to the back of the card scanner. I was also given a paper bag without asking for one and charged 50 cents for it without notice. There is no need to shop at an establishment that treats its customers with such contempt. I will never give them my business again.

Must visit if you are a foodie or Beer drinker

We have been going here regularly for years. Food is excellent (cheese plates, Bahn Mi and Kurt Brussels sandwiches, the pretzel and beer cheese, and especially the ricotta plate) and the service is always excellent. They'll help you decide if you aren't sure what you're looking for. Great atmosphere, great place.

Absolutely delicious specials, friendly people. Our Las Ramblas (chorizo, manchego, piquillo peppers, morcillo) and caprese with balsamic sandwiches were delicious, and we had some delicious ciders on tap.

Always love this place and Eric is the best
