I am not surprised to see this place so poorly rated. My experience with buying a cheese and charcuterie board was terrible! I ordered ahead of time online, but the staff gave away my board and then repeatedly asked me if someone in my household picked it up. There are order numbers for a reason! This in no way was my fault but their own, and they treated me rudely. They also asked me to wait outside on a cold rainy weekend (Memorial Day weekend). It was a terrible experience overall, and the board was not worth the price. I understand the convenience of an overpriced cheese board being prepared at a certain time, but this place is incapable of that. You're better off making your own cheese board from Citarella instead of wasting your time here. read more

Literally the worst service ever and a mediocre food product at best - they have an attitude, they don't value their customers, don't expect to get your food on time. A hard pass. Don't go there read more

Wow! Went in to get some cheese and witnessed the most horrifyingly rude exchange with the older dark haired gentleman at the cash register and some poor girl just wanting to get a drink with the sandwich she'd just bought from him. He told her he wouldn't ring her up because they had a $10 minimum for cards and she didn't have any cash, but she'd just bought a sandwich, which seemed like it met the minimum and decided just to get a drink. He told her he'd sell it to her if she got something else. This just doesn't seem right... He was so rude it was just incredible, I left and went to Citarella to get my cheese. I won't give my money to a place like that! What a way to lose customers! Saving your .30 cents and losing a sale worth much more than that! What an idiot!!! This guy needs to go get another job somewhere far away and something that doesn't deal with the public read more

AVOID THIS PLACE. I wish I could give them 0 stars! I grew up in Southampton and have never been treated so poorly or had worse customer service in my life. The food is mediocre at best and the wait to order/get your food takes forever (my dad and I stood there for about 7 minutes trying to get someone's attention to order sandwiches). I don't get shaken up easily but the older dark-haired gentleman (whom I believe is the owner) was incredibly rude after I mentioned that an item I bought was stale and inedible. He told me it wasn't his fault and walked away. I wanted was my money back or to exchange the item that he just sold me but he wouldn't listen or give me the time of day. 0 customber serive. I will never ever go back there. read more

It's pathetic that they haven't worked on the wait times. The food is okay at best but I will never wait fourty five minutes for a sandwich again. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else, most sit down restaurants are quicker to serve you a full meal than this place takes to throw some ham and mustard on a piece of bread. read more

We got sandwiches for the beach. They were delicious! The only complaint is the staff isn't very friendly.

This place just is not the same. It used to be the go to spot but the last few summers, the service is terrible.

Great sandwiches and service. Online ordering is a big bonus. Nice folks and much better run than under the old owners. I'll be back soon.

I also witnessed a horrible exchange between the owner and a customer that said he had been a customer at the shop for 10 years. The owner REFUSED to fill up the customer's water bottle from the tap, and said he must buy water or a drink. The other man explained he and his little girl always use their own water bottle, as they do not support single use plastic. I was modified! Sandwiches were ok, line took about 20 minutes and the prices are very high. I could not believe how long we had to wait. Golden Pear for us next time. read more

Was in a rush, dropping paperwork off a few doors down, ran in to get a sandwich to eat on way back to office. Too busy looking at menu to look around. No one on line, and employee finally approached to take my order. She begins making my sandwich. And I start looking around. Filth, disgusting, cake food on floor, good know what your off the back of the prep table down the wall. Flies everywhere. And a roach runs across my foot. Never again. My sandwich had barely any meat, 2 slivers of avocado. Glad I had lost my appetite. read more

Great sandwiches made fresh to order. There are longer waits, but if you order online you can walk around town and wait for your order to be complete. read more

I read a lot of negative reviews but I did not experience that. The girl taking my order was nice. The sandwiches I got the German and the New Yorker was very tasty. That and a cappuccino and two drinks came out too $40 bucks. A bit on the high side read more

Rude rude rude.... Staff is so unfriendly they almost tell you they don't want you to be there,citarella offers more options and the staff is super friendly they doesn't turn the back on you, never again......stay away from this place they are other businesses in town that would appreciate your money. read more

Came in for a "supreme sandwich" after saying "that sounds delicious" while on their website The sandwich comes with ONE SLICE of turkey. It's mostly bread. The cheese is good, sure. But who makes a sandwich with one slice of cold cuts? I tasted bread and honey mustard. That's it. Service was relatively quick, and good selection of drinks and chips. But don't waste your money on a sandwich... read more

Cheese Shoppe - Single slice of turkey? - Cheese Shops Near Me - Southampton, New York

We support you! On a busy Friday morning you took good care of us. Great wraps and espresso beverages!

This place defies all laws of time and space. Did you think anything could take longer than Duane Reade? Welcome to cheese shoppe where a sandwich can literally take 2 hours to make with 4 people "working" behind the counter and no other customers. This + sky high prices what more can you ask for? Disgruntled employees you say? They've got that too. Hard to imagine how they created such a hot mess with excellent real estate. read more

This place has always been kind of a nightmare, but with "new management" I thought maybe a change was in store. Right? Wrong. I ordered a simple take out/call in at 9:25 with a nearly incoherent individual. Wasn't ready until 10am. First sandwich wrong, no bacon. Other two, no mention of the well done bacon request. All three, cold. They did, however, kindly comp the ticket. Nonetheless, some things never change. Sean's Place for the win when in need of a real deli in Southampton. read more

Cheese Shoppe - a person holding a hot dog - Cheese Shops Near Me - Southampton, New York

No matter what you order, be it 1 sandwich or 6 it will always take 50+ minutes, busy day or dead day in the village it doesn't matter (on the kind side, today it took 75 minutes for two sandwich's) The owner insists she's always right no matter your argument. There's no place online at the end of the order for additional notes, however ask the owner and she says "well I've been getting them on other orders so one of us is wrong." Yes, you. They forget little things on every order too, it's one thing if this was a $4-8 item but when the minimum you'll spend on one thing is $15 and any add on is minimum $1+ it adds up. If you are in any sort of hurry or need food faster than an hour or more don't go here. read more

I hate to give a bad review but the experience I had here was not great. It is mostly the employee that took my order seemed absolutely miserable and was barking to people (yes crowded for covid times) but also I had to wait for 25 minutes for our food. It was one sandwich that we split. Plus I had to go back in and check three times on the progress. Ugh. I hate to take this place off the list but when you see employees meticulously arranging the snacks on the counter (three of them were restocking) and still no sandwich and an grumpy attitude- well time to move on. read more

Very frustrating and disappointing experience. Store very disorganized. Worst part, they told us 20min (after we paid) for two sandwiches that took an hour! Many other frustrated customers outside waiting for orders that were taking an hour as well. Just for sandwiches!! Staff and management does not value your business and was not at all apologetic about the wait or inaccurate and misleading information. Manager was extremely dismissive and unbelievably rude! Unfortunately they just lost a lot more customers. read more

This place is so good, the staff is so nice. Poor things are under staffed so just go before you're really hungry. Around end of May beginning of June wait can be up to 45 minutes. It's worth it! read more

We've been going here since the fall of 2019. We love their selection / food quality. I'm a huge fan of their tuna on rye and their green juice is lovely (and not at a ridiculous price compared to NYC). I'm not sure where all of the negative reviews came from (previous mgmt / mgmt transition?), but I know our family will be continue to come here time and again. I saw some customers get really nasty with the staff about wait times during the height of the pandemic (um, order online like the rest of us if you're in a hurry).... I felt awful because the staff was clearly trying their best while managing a weird situation with covid and online demand vs in person. Let's all give each other some grace as we get through this. Oh, and did I mention - order online? read more

excellence through and through! prompt great service, deli and diverse menu, friendly staff. read more

NEVER AGAIN After getting the wrong wrap which I paid $10 for I returned to the store to ask for a replacement. I was told that it was my fault since I did not check it before I left the store. She said she would give me 50% off the correct one. I would not have paid $1 considering I paid once and they are the ones who made the mistake. I worked in the restaurant business a very long time and this is totally unacceptable. I will never go there again and I assure you I will tell everyone I know. Hardly seems worse than the $5 they wanted for giving me what I ordered in the first place. read more

This is my first Yelp review ever bc I love the Cheese Shop that much. I've often referred to eating the Los Angeles as a religious experience. Not only is the staff as friendly as can be, the product is superior (and always fresh) to any place in town. The price is beyond fair and less than that of the neighboring staples of Southampton that is actual trash (yes I'm referring to the rip off of dare I say is GP). Not sure why people are complaining about time. It's like they've never ordered pick up or delivery. It always takes 30 minutes. It's called life guys. They need to prep your food. This place is the best and I highly recommend. And if you don't want to wait for a superior product go somewhere else and get trash. Period the end. read more

The Village Cheese Shop is serving the best sandwiches Southampton has seen in over 300 years. My go to breakfast is a scrambled egg with gruyere, avocado, and pickled jalapeños on a whole wheat wrap. For lunch I favor the French grilled cheese. The ingredients are fresh and delicious, and the service is impeccable. Kudos to the new management for upgrading the infrastructure inside and streamlining the ordering process. PS try the tuna salad - it's the best in Suffolk county. read more

I am not a person to write reviews BUT: Simply horrible service, disrespectful manager and extremely long wait time. Save yourself the money and aggravation. There are plenty of other better and less expensive spots in the Hamptons. Will never purchase there again. read more

Horrible place. Worst experience ever. We ordered sandwiches and were not told they didn't have anything but rye bread until they started to make them. I was very clear when ordering that I didn't want rye bread. They charged me $1.00 extra for gluten free bread which is not posted nor was i told. The managers were extremly rude to me, the customer. They got sarcastic when i asked their name. COME TO FIND OUT THE MAN AND WOMAN ARE THE OWNERS. YET ANOTHER LIE! I own my own business and i work everyday with my staff to make sure my customers get the best service possible. I want them to be happy. They matter! Don't waste your money. They clearly do not pride themselves on good customer service. I would have walked out but my family had already bought drinks and were sitting at a table. Hind sight tells me I should have. Wish i could give it zero stars. read more

Ordered a bologna sandwich little to no bologna on sandwich. Green color and fish taste threw it out immediately. Long line over priced fish tasting sandwiches. Seriously someone open up a NY Deli sandwich place and run all these sandwich places out of business. There are 5 places in or near Southampton and they are all terrible. Village cheese shop zero stars . read more

If I could give minus stars this shop would definitely get minus 5 review stars . They have the rudest and worst service I have ever seen in my life . One of the employees or even the owner yelled at me after complaining about the service that I could go to golden pear but would come back anyway after 3 days because golden pear has bad food . This shop used to be the best with the previous owners and they absolutely ruined it. Never coming back here. For sure . read more

This place has turned terrible. I live locally and have gone probably a million times. Last week I asked for something simple, a lox bagel not toasted and she said yeah no problem. Five minutes later, she comes up to me asking what's lox?? So i just said forget it and I received a toasted (even though I asked for it not to be toasted) bagel w cream cheese I've gotten a lox bagel there maybe a year ago and it was delicious. I don't know what changed but I will not be returning. read more

Seems to be some unhappy campers with the service and lines during peak season but that is what happens during peak season unfortunately. I've eaten here numerous times during peak season and during the off season. They have a nice selection of cheese, wonderful sandwich options, and a fresh chopped salad station. The sandwiches are a solid choice and reasonably priced for this area around $10. The owners are friendly and willing to lend some personal recommendations for cheese if you ask. read more

Would give 0stars. After waiting 30mins for four breakfast sandwiches, and checking in several times on the order, we learned the order, which was placed in person, was never processed. After five more minutes and mentioning we were about to miss a ferry due to the wait, a disgruntled worker canceled the order and said he didn't need our business. It was a disaster. After waiting 45mins, we left with no food and an incredibly sour taste from how we were treated. Go to the Golden Pear down the street - great service AND food!! read more

20 minutes wait for a grilled cheese toast. People are not nice and welcoming Won't let you use the bathroom read more

Since years now, we've been grabbing sandwiches here before heading on to the beach. Their sandwiches are really good for the most part. Yesterday, my husband(incidentally a white guy) ordered sandwiches for himself and the kids. He collected their order at the counter and *then* headed to check out to pay. I, (I being an Asian/Indian woman) came in a bit later and ordered my sandwich. I waited a few minutes, then inquired if my sandwich was ready. The staff told me that I have to go to the counter and pay *before* I can get my sandwich! There was a lady next to me(incidentally white), who collected her sandwich and then came to the counter to pay! I asked the staff and the manager about this. The manager did not give a damn! I told her they should be consistent and treat all people the same way!! Now we are shopping for a new sandwich shop in the Hamptons:) read more

No longer a local favorite. Been going to the cheese shoppe for almost 20 years. unfortunately, the new management its under has completely changed it for the worse. for 2 sandwiches and 2 seltzers it was $40. So sad. The interior has completely changed, and not for the good. they've made it much more unorganized, and are trying to get seating in areas that there are just no room for seating, all which using cheap furniture to do so. Floors need attention- look dirty and are needing some serious repair. Best part is how rude staff is. When I got the email asking how our visit was- gave an honest answer and they have sent repeated emails pretty much claiming we're wrong for not being happy with their store. they claimed everything is the same, just better ingredients. If staff/owner can't take responsibility for not having happy customers- they're just going to loose more customers. there are plenty of great places in town to go to instead. I'll be taking my business and clients elsewhere for sure. Don't waste your time or money here. Citarella is way better, and nicer. read more

Perhaps there's some discontent with customers of Village Gourmet Cheese Shoppe during high season, but when all of the wealthy tourists head back to their enclaves during fall and winter, this place is a pleasure to dine at. This speciality grocery/sandwich shop is a perfect stop when you're in Southampton and looking for a quick bite. They have an array of different sandwich options, salads, cheeses, drinks, etc...With enough seating to sit and enjoy yourself a while, it's a casual experience that's welcomed if you're on the go. But again, this is in fall. Summer is a whole other nightmare that I can't vouch for. read more

I ordered a caprese sandwich. It took a while but that's because they had 12 sandwiches before I placed my order. They have 3 panini presses and they warm your sandwiches the right way. The bread was perfectly toasted and all of the ingredients were warm on the inside. Price is standard for sandwiches in town but I'd recommend this place over others. I definitely have to come back to order a cheese plate! read more

Best Shop to get a sandwich , lunch or breakfast. Delicious smoothies also! One of my favorite places in Southampton
