Sandwich was about $16. This place has great selection of cheeses if you are looking for something especial. Ambiance was lovely. Great music and I love that. Service was also great. Very attentive and we felt comfy there. The sitting area inside is not large, but I think this add to their charm. If you are in the area, try them out, you won't be disappointed. Happy lunch time everyone!

Came here on a Saturday afternoon to get some grilled cheeses, scope out the new diggs, and take home some delicious products. The dining room has about 4 tables (3 chairs at each table but realistically for 2 to be comfortable). Looks like the small outdoor seating area had 3 tables (for 2). Walk up to the counter to order or take advantage of their expertise here!! While we were enjoying our grilled cheeses, a couple came in needing a lot of advice for a party they were having later this evening. They went to the right place!! Absolutely no shortage of helpful knowledge and it sounds like they were all set for their plans in the evening. Definitely come check out this location!! Cheese is my kryptonite but if I'm going to partake and indulge, I'll come here to do so.

We neglected to bring a wine to complement our lunch, though it sounds like they're working on a liquor license, which would make this an even more perfect spot to enjoy fabulous food, knowledgeable service, and pick up a few favorites to take home. The store and dining areas are a bit small, and I do wish the seating were a little more comfortable, but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. Well done!

What a great place to buy fresh meat or fish. The place was packed with customers either picking up…read morepre order food or placing an order like us. You can buy rubs, marinades, salads, sides, bread, rolls, desserts, etc. They also have frozen wild game if that is what you are into. It was unfortunate that half their store did not have power as we were not able to see any of the meat or fish on display. iI was ok we were not able to hand select our steaks or fish - the store has such a great reputation we were not too worried about what we would end up with. We decided to order 4 prime marinated NY strip and 2 tuna steaks. They make theur own naribade so we had to try it. We also wanted to try one of frozen pre-made meals so we chose the sausage and pasta with vodka sauce. While in line to checkout we saw more than a few people with trays of cinnamon buns so we had to try them as well. This is a summery of our purchased food:. The cinnamon rolls were grainy. Not smooth. I think they were old (I had to pull them from the back). The steaks had a great flavor as the marinade was really good. Three of the 4 steaks were over cooked because we were given 4 different sized steaks. 2 got burnt the third was well done....$60 wasted. The tuna was good but again they gave us one large steak and one thinner one so the smaller was was dry....another $15 wasted. If I can make any suggestion....do not make a purchase without seeing what you are buying. $136.00 later I can say I was disappointed because of the unevenness it was cooked improperly. 4 stars because the cook is partially to blame. 3 stars otherwise. The sales person is the first person that should know better than to sell meat and fish the way they did. Ruined my Christmas meal. Only 1 of us ate. :(

I stopped in to have a beer the other day and noticed something that really concerned me from a…read morefood safety and professionalism standpoint. A staff member was using the meat slicer and, while wearing gloves, took out his personal phone to answer a call. While on the phone continued to handle the food. After finishing his call, he proceeded to served samples to customers while still wearing the same gloves that had touched the meat and his phone. I asked about speaking to the manager because I wanted to address the concern, but I was surprised to find out that the person involved was the manager. I understand that mistakes can happen, but this felt vary unprofessional and unsanitary, especially from someone in a leadership position. I have been coming here for several years and have always enjoyed the atmosphere and experience. Unfortunately, I have noticed a change over time, and it feels like that shift started when the current manager began taking more control and changing things. It is disappointing to see a place I have supported for years move in a direction that feels less welcoming and less focused on the standards that originally made it a place I wanted to return to. I hope the business takes this feedback seriously and reinforces proper food handling practices with the staff.

Last year, I had a sandwich in Spain that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. I've tried several places around Charlotte looking for something similar, but nothing came close. I reached out to The Culture Shop to see if they'd be willing to recreate it, and not only did they say yes, they turned it into their weekly special using local honey, locally sourced peppers, and local bread. The result completely exceeded my expectations. It captured everything I loved about the original while adding its own Charlotte twist. It was honestly one of the best sandwiches I've had. Beyond the food, the team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and excited about what they do. The shop itself is worth browsing too, with a menu full of creative sandwiches and delicious options, plus a thoughtfully curated selection of pantry items and specialty foods. It's rare to find a business that's this passionate, creative, and willing to go the extra mile for a customer. I'll definitely be back, and I can't recommend The Culture Shop enough!

We opted to support local vs a grocery store, and unfortch, there was some regret. The shop was out of just about everything, and there weren't any "sides" on display - like olives, dips, dried fruits, nuts, peppers, etc. We saw a few olives in plastic tupperware on the counter, but we weren't compelled to ask about pricing. We were able to taste two cheeses, and opted for a small wedge of a brie-like cheese, their housemade pimento spread and a box of crackers. Their wines are unique, but only a handful had pricing... and there wasn't a good selection of sparkling wines or Champages. Service was friendly, but again, the selection wasn't nearly as robust as we'd expect from a cheese shop.
