Fantastic shop, well organized and clean! Huge seletion and very knowledgeable about the product inventory. As someone with an allergy to cows milk (I can have goat/sheep with no problems) it was wonderful to have such a variety of options! We made the journey all the way from SI and we plan on doing it again :) check this shop out if you love all things charcuterie!

I stopped by this store on Thursday, December 21st to purchase one item I’d originally placed online for a pick-up order a few weeks ago.I noticed it’s a small store, so I actually walked in. The store is very small and quaint.I wasn’t greeted at all, in fact I walked in and said hi. Look at my picture, you can see my face clearly.I think the male owner and the female owner were actually surprised to see me, walk into their shop. The vibe inside was really off to me. They were helping a white woman, who purchased some goods and a white man walked in after me, they said hello to him and seemed like they preferred to deal with him.The female owner actually helped me but the male owner, with the mousy brown curls, looked like he didn’t want to bother with me.The entire experience is sad because had the customer service treatment been better, I would’ve given them a much better review since they had a few quality items.When the man gave me the bag with the items I purchased, I couldn’t say thank you before leaving as I did feel rushed.It felt passive aggressive to me, especially since they are a small business. I live in Brooklyn, so I would’ve made the trek out here to Queens since I actually liked the products that I purchased.Needless to say, I wouldn’t be back. I just didn’t have a good experience there. The shop is very small, I mean very small. It doesn’t look the cleanest either but because they are pretty niche, it seems to work for them.For me, nope. Won’t come back.Sorry.

This is one of my favorite cheese shops in NY! They carry a great selection of cheese, charcuterie and accompaniments. The owners and staff are amazing - friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about cheese. They also host cheese tasting classes! I highly recommend.

Great shop with a very wide variety of cheese and other specialty foods. The owner, Steffan, is lovely and really knows his stuff. My husband comes here at least once a week and I'm never disappointed with what he brings home.

Awesome cheese shop! Very knowledgeable staff. Great local/east coast selection as well as US and Europe. Tons of conservas, crackers, jams, butter and slice to order charcuterie.
Much needed in the neighborhood, great shop and owners.

My normal supplier of parmesan rinds for cooking (Freshdirect) sold out of them literally a minute before I checked out, and I panicked. I called Stand Alone Cheese and the guy who answered was super nice about checking to see if parmesan rinds were available. He then set them aside for me ( 1/2 lb) to pick up later that afternoon, and only charged me $5 (which was basically the same as Freshdirect except I would've had to get a pound there for $10, which I don't need so this was even better). This literally saved my dinner party, so I am incredibly grateful. I also saw that they had Willoughby for under $20/lb and a great selection of other cheeses that I really like for quite good prices. I'll definitely be back.

We visit this shop at least weekly. They have a terrific selection, and if you are adventurous they can recommend some really interesting things. They carry a good selection of frozen pasta from Raffetto's -we have ravioli at least once a week. So convenient and I find the service to be excellent!
