    So many varieties of cheese and souvenirs of Wisconsin to choose from. Tastings are available in this cute shop. The staff is friendly and helpful. Good stop in Monroe

    This is a great cheese store with many varieties of cheese and other cheese related products. I would have given them 5 stars except that the staff was not wearing masks behind the counter until they had to wait on someone - poor covid practices! They had a couple of sales bins with some OK deals. We also found a shredded fondue cheese that we could not find anywhere in the Madison area so we now have a closer source than having it shipped from Wegmans out east. Monroe is a great cheese lovers destination (and beer too) and this place adds to it being a good location for a road trip.

    I love checking out the areas that I'm in for the meat and cheese shops and not really for any of the cheeses but more for the meats and meat sticks. I jumped on yelp and found this place in the area and they were open on a Sunday because most are closed on Sundays. The building had the Swiss theme that can be found in the area which I was not expecting but very cool. I was greeted by an older gentleman as I walked in and I looked around the store and it is mostly cheese and very little meats. They had the regulars like wine, beer, condiments, clothing, lots of cheeses, sausages, pizzas, frozen sausages etc etc. After looking around I noticed they had very little meat sticks but I did find spicy beef sticks which had beef as the main ingredient. The veal brats were a no brainer since I love veal and once again veal is the main ingredient so I grabbed them because how often do you see veal brats. This is really a cheese shop first and foremost with some other products on the shelves but still a nice find because of the veal brats if nothing else.

    A great cheese store in the center of the cheese-making universe, Monroe Wisconsin. We made a brief stop during on all-day explore of Green county WI. With COVID closing down our favorite farmers market in Madison, we embarked on a full day road trip in search of artisanal goodness and this spot near Monroe fit the bill. It's quite large inside with hundreds of varieties of cheese at very reasonable prices. I ended up with at least 5 lbs of various delicacies. Definitely worth the drive

    This is my absolute favorite cheese store in ALL of Wisconsin and I make a special trip a couple of times out of the year! The proprietor Tony is a delightful part of the experience. It certainly doesn't hurt that Alp and Dell just so happens to be connected to my favorite (world award winning) cheese maker ROTH. You are able to work through a door in the shop and watch one of your new sure to be favorites being made! This delectable fromagerie has definitely got you covered in regards to all things queso or it might be better in this case to say fondue!!! The selection of local and international offerings just can't be beat and the prices are unbelievable for the quality and variety offered! And then there is a bargain bin where you are sure each and every time to discover a virtual treasure chest! My personal cheese Mecca and I cannot recommend it enough. A definite TO DO, must stop!

    Great place to find a variety of cheeses. Most of these are Wisconsin made cheeses. They also have a selection of other items including meats like beef logs and landejegers. I also liked that they had some local craft beersnto buy and liquor. Alp & Dell also has a deli counter where rhey habe sandiwches available. I didnt try any of these. If you pay close attention they have some bargain bin cheeses. The customer service was fair. When I went here recently, I was shopping with two other people. We spent over $150 between the three of us. One of my friends asked if we could have the special. Which was if you spend $75 or more then you get a free tote bag. The cashier.told her no and it wasnt in a nice way. She explained that in no uncertain terms could we get one tote unless one of us spent over the $75. I could have cared less about the tote howeber it was how we were told NO that was a real downer. I was happy with the selection of cheese that I was able to purchase from baby swiss, havarti to fresh cheese curds. I wanted to get some cheese fudge but I already had pounds and pounds of cheese. Maybe on my next teip. I

    I admit, the quality on many of these products are good. But there is a deception at work, and that…read moreis photographs of the product that make them look two to four times bigger than they are. Swiss colony puts the net weight into the description, but that does not put into perception the actual size of the items that you or your gift recipients will be receiving. Take the summer sausages, for example. About five ounces each. The pictures make them look like a foot long, but in reality they fit in the palm of your hand. Yesterday, I was shopping for cookies for a friend. They only had raspberry-filled center cookies. $30 for one pound of cookies! What? plus another $12 for shipping puts it at $42 a pound. They're like those Pepperidge Farm cookies in the white bags that are about $7.00 each. I have an $800 line of credit with them, but The Swiss Colony and all their subsiderary companies, like Seventh Avenue, Montgomery Ward, Midnight Velvet, Country Door, Monroe & Main, Ashro, Ginny's, The Tender Filet, Midwest Catalog Brands, including The Wisconsin Cheeseman and AmeriMark, are a terrible ripoff. Most gift sites are expensive, but The Swiss Colony exemplifies "shrinkflation". Their products always look much bigger than they are, which is the number one complaint even on their own website.

    I love Swiss colony! I have only received it as a gift so I can't comment on the customer service,…read morebut I always enjoy it!

    I live far away and placed an order about a month ago for relatives in the Wisconsin area. Shipping…read morewas expensive, as others have mentioned, and the package was delivered 4 days before it was scheduled to arrive. With a company that charges this much and ships perishable products it would be nice if the shipping was reliable.

    I have purchased twice from this company. Each time they have signed me up for a program called…read moreWisconsin Cheeseman Perks. The cost is $18.77 per month. This is illegal! I spent a lot of time on the phone with them making sure they cancelled my "subscription" to this Perk program and making sure they credited my credit card for the reoccurring charges of $18.77. The operator didn't question my story so I got the feeling that this happens a lot. Anyway, some months passed and I forgot all about it. So I ordered from them again, not realizing that they were the company I had trouble with in the past. A few months after that I get my credit card statement and there are TWO charges for $18.77 for this same bloody program! Now I have to call them again and go through the same boring time-consuming process I went through before. Frankly, with such terrible reviews I don't understand how this company can stay in business. I don't think they should be allowed to stay in business. They are dishonest and conniving. This Perk program is a total scam. no one would willingly sign up for this kind of a program. I hate to think of all the money they are making from customers that do go through their credit card bills thoroughly enough to catch these reoccurring charges.
