Great food nice place everything was great but quite pricey if you don't mind spending $22 for breakfast it's a good place to go

We picked up sandwiches at Cheese Box on a Sunday afternoon. Because they are doing curbside orders, someone comes out (in a mask) to the parking lot quickly to make sure people know the process to call in an order. We ordered by phone, the made-to-order food was ready quickly and it was DELICIOUS! Friendly service and great to see the care they are taking to protect themselves and their customers. read more

Great sandwiches and the owner here couldn't be a nicer person! I will always support this place when I am in town.

Very good food but very expensive. Yes it was tasty but at the same time I felt it was really over priced. Make sure you ask before sticker shock. read more

Cute shop, very friendly service sand good sandwiches. First time here after being recommended not a family member and I plan on Coming back any time we're in town. read more

A cheese lover's heaven! So much to choose from and try. The staff is friendly and enthusiastic about cheese. I loved sampling from their variety of excellent Wisconsin cheeses. The staff was asking me to try cheeses rather than the other way around! I usually feel badly asking to try so many things, but they really seem to enjoy introducing you to the range of products they offer. In addition to cheese, they also carry some local beers and wine. I ended up picking out a veggie havarti, 10 year cheddar, cheese curds, and more. read more

Holy mackerel this place is so amazing. Cheese Heaven!! Sandwiches are fantastic too. So good!

Holy fantastic brats, this place is amazing. I'm not a huge fan of encased meats and bratwurst is typically at the bottom of that list, but these are so fresh, I enjoy them. The straight-up non-flavored are really damn good. The cherry brats will send you soul to heaven. They also do portobello and swiss brats. Freshest ingredients and best flavor and texture I've ever had in brats. So I did it. When I was here last week, I picked up a couple packages of frozen brats and grilled with friends over the weekend - rave reviews. I also got some wonderful six-year cheddar, and chocolates for the kids. You're in luck - they ship: http://www.cheesebox.com/ I assumed Xtie would have already reviewed this place since she's the one who turned me on to it. read more

Very helpful staff! I walked out with $40 worth of yummy cheese and sausage. I got to try lots of samples to give me an idea what I like best. I will be back next time I'm in Lake Geneva read more

Every time I'm in Lake Geneva, I have to stop at the Cheese Box on my way home. I love cheese! It's a small shop, easy to miss. They'll let you sample if there's a cheese you want to try. They also sell some harder to find beers. Love the cheese curds! read more

There was no way possible I was going to be in Wisconsin and not go to a cheese shop, lucky for me Lake Geneva has the perfect one. As we drove around Lake Geneva surveying the local sights, we came across the quintessential cheese shop, The Cheese Box. The minute I walked in I knew I wanted to move to Wisconsin, well at least stay for a while. There was a large counter with a cooler full of cheese and assorted meats. There was lots of different drinks to choose from as well as a cheese reach-in, which I took full advantage of, buying no less than 3 assorted cheese items as well as a beautiful summer sausage for my hotel room. The people behind the counter were so absolutely nice and helpful (My guess is a Family business) that we ended coming back the next day for fresh deli sandwiches for lunch. All in all a must go to stop when in Lake Geneva Wisconsin, prices were really good, the quality was fantastic and service was friendly and attentive. I know my next time in Lake Geneva that I'll be back for some more of that delicious cheese, Aloha read more

OMG I love this place!!! I come in once a month for a huge sandwich tray, smoked salmon and their delightful brownies. I typically have 15 ppl on any given weekend and sometimes I just don't feel like cooking. I call up the Cheesebox, tell them what I need and presto! We have also come in for individual sandwiches which you can customize. Huge variety of breads, lunchmeat, egg salad, tuna salad and awesome brownies and cookies. All lunch boxes come with a pickle too! Wonderful wonderful family runs it and I will keep coming back just because of the way they take care of their customers. Love this place and you will too! Promise!! read more

Stopped by twice over the weekend. First to get cheese and cranberry rye bread (so delicious!). Went back Sunday for a sandwich for the road. OMG---still dreaming about it 48 hours later. Chicken salad on cranberry rye. Can't wait for our next trip. BF got roast beef and turkey on sourdough and told me truly one of the best sandwiches ever. So simple, the staff couldn't be nicer and oh my gosh-so delicious! Stop by when you are in town! read more

Outstanding service and delicious food. We stopped in visiting Lake Geneva from California and were blown away by the choices and samples available. Shipping was easy to get it all back home and the sandwiches are amazing the bread was so soft and fresh and I saw someone else getting a brisket that looked really good too. I love that I can order online also. read more

This small store that is set up like your grocery deli is a hidden gem. Owners were very accomodating and knowledgeable. Even though the place seemed busy, they took the time to explain the ingredients and history of a particular cheese. They ket you taste the cheese you are interested in too. They sell high quality items and all are resonably priced. read more

This place is a must stop if you're visiting Lake Geneva! Aside from being in the state known for amazing cheese, this cute cheese market boasts some of the best cheese you can get your hands on! The people that work here are some of the sweetest people you'll meet. They are very humble, knowledgeable, & cheese-loving people. They will give you samples of anything they can cut so try before you buy! My favorites were the blue cheese, chocolate cheese, blueberry cheese, & monterey jack. Ohhh the chocolate cheese... taste like fudge!!! They also sell sausages, chips/crackers, and some Wisconsin souveneir. The prices are affordable as well... I left with a bag of goodies for only $15. This place is a must try for all tourists! read more

We were visiting lake lawn resort and came across this place! Wow! What great service, loved the samples! The homemade brisket sandwiches were to die for. Definitely recommend. read more

Had lunch from here and it was great. The box lunch is a bit of nostalgia. Make your own sandwich and pick a side, all in a box with a pickle spear. Cute little shop that serves up a great lunch. The people behind the counter are attentive and helpful. We even got treated to a song while we were there, lol. Skip the chains and try something different! read more

Yes! Random stop per the sign that read "key lime pie!" Being from Florida i had to make the stop. Delicious and legit.

You must stop here if you're in the area. They have a great selection of specialty cheeses, sausage, and a deli. I went in just for the lobster bisque soup they were advertising outside but everything looked good and I ended up leaving with the soup, a box lunch, two dozen peirogies, and beer. Everything was super fresh and delicious. Customer service was excellent. read more

Love them for all of the customization available in their lunchboxes. I'm partial to the unique combo of chicken salad on cranberry wild rice bread. And I can't pass up the brownie for dessert. read more

The chicken chili is awesome- very fast service, lots of items to choose from. Great picnic selections too.

Upon arriving in Wisconsin from Kentucky, we were on a desperate search for cheese curds. Lucky for us, we stumbled upon Cheese Box. The owners were extremely friendly and gave us tastes of many of the delicious cheeses. Cheese curds were super squeaky, and the sandwiches are all amazing. Highly recommend it. read more

My husband, daughter and I went for lunch. We got 3 sandwich boxes and soup for $30, which we found to be rather high. A box includes a sandwich and a side item, no drink, and sandwiches aren't sold a la carte. The food was ok but nothing special. The store setup is a little awkward; there's a long counter and no clear indication of how or where to order sandwiches, and it was crowded in there. There were 2 tables outside in the parking lot and no inside seating. The staff was friendly. read more

Oh man, just thinking back about this place makes me feel so warm and fuzzy. I was visiting Chicago back in March and rented a car on a whim to go on a day trip to another state nearby. Friends told me Wisconsin is known for its quality cheeses, so I yelped "cheese shop" and found the Cheese Box. When my friend and I got here, the shop was closed. As Californians, we were not used to the cold and snow (apparently it's unusual to snow in March even in Wisconsin), so we just roamed around the shop before figuring out what to do then. Then the owner couple came out the next door to ask us if we were trying to shop. We explained that we were travelers and wouldn't be able to come back the next day. There, they opened the shop--just for us! They said they usually have samples out, but still let us try some of the cheeses they recommended based on our preferences. SUPER sweet. They're also very knowledgeable. You can tell how much they love cheese just from their tones when they explain. This shop offers a great variety of kinds and ages. I forget the exact names of what we got. One was 4-year-old cheddar, and the other was something along the lines of veggie pepper jack. Both had a great texture and taste; we really enjoyed them. Honestly, everyone we talked to in Wisconsin that day was really nice and kindhearted, but man, the owners of the Cheese Box just melted our hearts. :S read more

I would give this a higher rating because it is a nice shop, but the owner was quite a pushy fellow, and a bit more interested in getting money out of you I asked for a loaf of bread w my cheese, and he changed the price on it thrice just trying to see how high he could go, and then he would not give me a receipt, despite asking for it twice, so I have no idea what the individual cheeses cost me Nice cheese, but I'd rather go to a place where I don't have to be so wary of my money read more

This is a one of those landmark type of spots well known in Lake Geneva. It houses a wider variety of cheeses than you can find in most state supermarkets, combined. You will find the fabled chocolate cheese as well. I've heard it's closing soon, so visit while you still can! read more

This may just be my favorite place to stop in lake geneva!!!!! they have the best sandwiches i think i have ever tasted. after talking with some of the locals and asking where to go for cheese, they all said the same thing, go to the cheese box. my fiance and i stopped in on oir way home and grabbed a sandwich box wich came with a side and a pickle. the sides were great and my fiance and i agreed it was the best sandwich ever. the staff was so friendly and was very helpful on helping us pick out cheeses and try samples of different things. i always stop here when im on vacation and from time to time we say man i could go for the cheese box right now. The staff let me know that you can actually order all year round and have it shipped. great place if your thinking of trying!!!! read more

Whenever my family takes a trip to Wisconsin for a day or two, we always make a point of stopping at the Cheese Box for and endless supply of bratwurst and, of course, cheese! Personally, my favorite part is the chocolate cows. They sell them in white and milk chocolate, and they're NEVER hollow. :-D In short, I'll give this place my praise. read more

Nice old school cheese and brat shop. a bit out of the way, but worth a look. Friendly staff who will be happy to let you sample before you buy. read more

Wonderful service and great place for cheese. Love the family running the place. Plus they have chocolate cheese. Can't wait to come back in three months. read more

We drove to this place on our way back to Chicago. When we arrived we realized they were not opening for the next 20 mins. As we were about to pull away the owner walked out and asked us what we were looking for and immediately opened the door for us. Score! The place is very quaint but the amazing smell inside got my stomach rumbling. They have plenty of assorted cheeses, smoked meats, and other Wisconsin only items such as brews from New Glarus. I didnt try the sandwiches that they make from scratch but they sound delicious. The owner is so nice and accommodating and when we got to Lake Geneva again, we will stop by for a sandwich! read more
