    I've come here twice and was met by attentive and friendly staff. There is a large assortment of jams, cheeses, cured meats, wines and more. Prices vary which provides options for anyone who may find them. Plastic utensils are also provided if you inform them you plan on eating there! Everything is well organized and clean so I will certainly come again.

    Capella is a wonderful cheese shop in a warehouse area of outer Atlanta. As soon as you walk in there are cases and cases of cheese from around the world, and many I had never seen or heard of before. There are soft cheeses from cow and goat milks, Cheddars, Goudas, Bleu Cheeses, you name it. We got a smoky Bleu, a cheese with pressed dried grapes, a Robiola tri-milk cheese, and a few others. We also picked up Marcona almonds, pate, a baguette, olives, and onion jam to create our own charcuterie board at home. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back. It looks like they also offer cheese classes so we might try one of those as well.

    Found this place when I was getting coffee at East pole. The space in between the two is a great place for co-working or studying. During my second visit to East pole, I decided to get lunch and a snack here while I was working there all day. ***Location: Around Midtown. There is plenty of parking in the lot beside the cafe. You walk into a large coworking space and there is East Pole on the right and Capella on the left. ***Staff: Nice and friendly! Just had a quick interaction at the register but they were very nice! ***Experience: I ate in the coworking space next to the shop, which is where you would eat if you came here. It is really a shop and not a restaurant but they sell packaged sandwiches and salads in addition to their wide selection of meats and cheeses. I am a vegetarian so I can't tell you much about the meat, but they seem to have some good things. For the cheese, it all looks amazing. I didn't need to pick up any this time, and as I was sitting inside then running errands, it wouldn't be the best time, but if I need any specialty cheese, I will definitely have to check them out. I usually prefer French cheeses and these are Italian but still look amazing! My roommate is from Milan, so I will have to bring her to try them out next time! I didn't look around much, since I was just grabbing lunch and getting back to work, but they seemed to have lots of specialty things like little seasonings and jam type things as well. ***Food: I got a tomato and mozzarella sandwich for lunch, which was big and definitely filling but a little expensive. For a specialty shop it is of course understandable and you can taste the quality of the ingredients, but it isn't something I would get every day. I felt like I would rather have a half sandwich and maybe a half salad rather than the whole sandwich though, because by the end it felt like a lot of bread and cheese. I don't know if they would consider packaging half sizes, but I would consider eating there more if they had a salad + sandwich combo instead of a full sandwich! The cookie was from Alon's Bakery and it was delicious! I also felt the pricing for that was good. For a gourmet cookie 2.50 is not bad at all! I also got a Coke because I love when it's in a glass bottle. They opened it at the register for me as well :) ***Prices: Sandwiches 9-10$ depending on the sandwich Cookie 2.50$ Coke - can't remember but I believe just a couple of dollars. ***Improvements: I would love to see a half sandwich half salad combo option for lunch. Either half versions of each or some kind of plate made with half of each to have some variety. But other than that, I think you can definitely taste the fresh mozzarella and I will have to be back to shop in the store a bit more next time!

    What a wonderful little cheese shop that also sources a selection of local Georgian treats…read more There was an upcoming virtual event that I couldn't make but had called to get more details. I spoke with Mary on the phone. She was very friendly, high energy and helpful. She happened to note the shop hours for the next day during our conversation. Since I had some free time, I decided to frive out there the next day. I had the pleasant experience of meeting Mary (and her curious pooch) in person and she was every bit of the fantastic person that I spoke to the day before. I was the only customer at the time so I was privy to a brief personal tour. I received information on the various products, who made them, where they were made, etc. There was a lot of good choices in the small shop. After much debate I decide on the following items: 1. Goodson Cinnamon Sugar Pecans- delicious light pecan crunch packing a cinnamon punch. My cousin and I devoured this treat in minutes. I should have bought at least 2 bags. 2. Goodson Dark Chocolate Covered Pecans - again with the light pecan crunch. I love dark chocolate - this chocolate was not bitter or too sweet. I really enjoyed these. I wish that I had bought many bags. 3. Spottes Trotter's Spanish Salchichon - I rarely eat salami so this was a risky choice for me. It was surprisingly flavorful and not salty. Again, I opened these to share with family just in case I couldn't eat them - they were devoured. I know that they were bought with the idea of cheese pairing but I put mine in the midst of a cream cheese bagel and loved it. My only regret is probably not buying more. 4. Beehive Cheese Barely Buzzed - This cheese is rubbed with expresso and lavender. I was intrigued. It was recommended for coffee lovers and pairing with berries. Who can resist trying an award winning cheese? At my first coffee opportunity, I sampled a few slices. Delicious. Reminds me of aged cheddar with a subtle flavor...I don't know it came across as basil. Lol. I can't wait to try it with fresh berries. The final selections haven't been tried as of this writing: 5. Thomasville Tomme Raw Cows Milk Cheese. 6. Kenny's Farmhouse Gouda I've always enjoy a good raw milk cheese and a good gouda. I'm looking forward to making something delicious with them. Thus far, my only regret is buying only 1 of each of my choices. I do hope to visit again post covid to enjoy a full in person experience at a tasting/hosted event.

    Before I tell you about the charcuterie Mary made for me, I have to tell you what a sweet lady she…read moreis. A real delight to work with her -- and with a name like Cheese & Mary, you have to appreciate her wit and humor. My first time trying a charcuterie here was getting in on a Valentine's special that we enjoyed as part of our anniversary celebration. It was artfully arranged and contained a mixture of sweet, savory, and hearty bites. Some of the things on the plate, I thought, this is an odd pairing, but when I ate it together, it was really good! She knows what she's doing. I'm a little sad the shop is going to close because it's really charming, but I'm okay with it since she's going to be running a virtual store and taking orders still.

    We were visiting Helen, GA and husband stopped by the gas station next door to get some gas. I saw…read morethis cute little cheese market and decided to step inside and explore. So happy that I did! When I walked in, the staff were super friendly and all smiles. The cashier/barista was such a sweetheart! They have a cheese market, deli, bakery bar, and coffee shop all in one! They sell all kinds of charcuterie items, from salami, cheese, jam, jellies, to coffee, candy, wine, and chocolates. They also sell cutting boards and other little trinkets. I absolutely loved that they sell "charcuterie for one" that has cheese, meats, and olives for a single serving on the go too! We saw that they had a lunch box special for sandwiches that includes a sandwich, cookie, pickle spear, and bag of chips for $12. What a steal!!! We decided to get the Jammin' Pig sandwich which is a panini pressed sandwich with ham, brie cheese, and cherry jalapeño jam. The lunch box was a great size and included Lay's regular potato chips and a chocolate chip cookie! They also sell other cookies and baked goodies (brownies, cakes, etc.) at the bakery bar area. The sandwich was probably the best sandwich I ever had in my life. Holy cow! The sandwich was pressed and grilled perfectly with nice grill marks and the meat and cheese was fresh! The brie and the cherry jalapeño jam melted together so nicely and added a creamy and flavorful element to the sandwich. The ham provided the saltiness that helped cut a little bit of the sweetness from the jam. The jam wasn't spicy at all. It was a beautifully balanced sandwich. My husband thought I was exaggerating (because I'm not picky with anything haha), but as soon as he took a bite, his expression was speechless. He loved the sandwich so much, that we decided to come back the very next day and ordered the same sandwich and tried another one. If you want to take another step, take a bite of the sandwich and then a bite of the pickle for that hint of acidity. It causes a umami effect with all the flavors dancing on your palette! For the lunch box special, you either get a chocolate chip cookie or the white chocolate cranberry one (I believe they alternate cookie flavors based on their inventory), but both cookies were delicious. The texture is not like other cookies as it's more like an oatmeal texture kind of deal. A little bit crumbly, but nonetheless, both flavors were very good and tasty. My husband ordered the Kickin' Horse sandwich the day after and he actually liked it better than the Jammin' Pig. His sandwich consisted of ciabatta bread, roast beef, muenster cheese, horseradish sauce, and onion, panini pressed style. I had a bite of his sandwich and all the flavors worked so well. The horseradish sauce brings out the roast beef flavor and enhances the muenster cheese. We tried some iced latte specials as well. We had the "Hippie Chick" that is a lavender honey flavored latte and the "Sweater Weather" which is a cinnamon and caramel? flavored latte. We absolutely loved the Hippie Chick latte and ordered another one when we came back, but the "Sweater Weather" wasn't our favorite. Respectfully, it tasted like a fall candle. It was good, but not the best we've had. Overall, we will definitely come back when we're in the area. The price was worth it for the amount of food that you get! Trust me when I say to get the sandwiches! You will not be disappointed!!! Now I'm craving their Jammin' Pig sandwich....

They have specialty ones or you can build your own. I recommend getting yours made warm. You can also build your own charcuterie board. Everyone that worked in there was super nice.
