A huge selection of cheeses. Very nice and friendly personnel. They also allow you to try their cheeses before buying, which is a great plus. They also have snacks that go well with cheeses, like various types of crackers and bread. Highly recommend!

A NY institution this is one of the premier cheese stores in the City. They know their cheese. The service in-store is attentive, like dealing with people who "know their cheese." The cheese was excellent. They also ship in and out of town. I had a very good experience shipping an order of Italian cheese to the Upper West Side but an order to Florida arrived spoiled though the honey was still edible.

The in-store store is attentive and I felt I was being served by salespeople who "know their cheese." You may have to wait but in my experience that is because they give ample time to each customer and don't hurry them. The cheese itself was excellent. They also ship in and out of town and have a cheese club that I had been thinking of joining in which you can set up a standing order of cheese delivered at regular intervals. Sounds like a good gift idea. I myself had a very good experience ordering a selection of Italian cheese which they shipped in a timely fashion to the Upper West Side. I also sent a gift order to Florida of cheese and other small items. The cheese arrived spoiled but parts of the meat were still edible.

This is the best cheese shop in New York because of the selection and knowledgeable staff. When you want the best cheese make the trip here. The result is a great shopping experience followed by a culinary cheese-eating joy when you get home.
