Holy crap y'all we have a passion project artisanal cheese shop that is NOT IN Downtown Charleston!…read moreEverybody get yourselves here for the most exquisitely selected local and proximal cheeses, special fruits and breads, thoughtfully selected accoutrements, and the sandwich of your dreams. I pre-ordered the Friday morning Ham and Cheese with special butter, the can't-miss according to my sources. Prepaid online and scheduled my pickup time in the narrow window. You don't want to sleep on this place. This is a conclave visit you schedule your day around. I almost lost my husband to the LP jazz here, but they had no seating. You enter to be kindly greeted by Nora. She is lovely and soft-spoken but clearly passionate and engaged with the cheeses and products they purvey. She and her partner Eric are the machines that run this efficient, welcoming, perfect cheese and sandwich nook. It is super-special and I only tell you because we need to support them and keep this beautiful oasis of quality cheeses and specialty sandwich service alive. I had read about the cheeses on their detailed website prior, and knew what I definitely wanted to try and most likely buy. Nora was so generous, inviting, and descriptive she had me trying things I didn't know I needed to. In the end we got a great variety but all cows' milk by chance or taste, which she found interesting. So perhaps next time, more sheep's or goat's milk. I am also a pimento cheese snob and theirs made my mind open and ideas go crazy. I will bring Nora and Eric some of mine to enjoy but I do now feel pedestrian in comparison. Both types have their place, and they may have stepped up my game. They also have select sodas, wines, sparkling wines, and other wonders chosen with care. This is my new favorite store. Go there and it will be yours too!

UPDATE: their address IS now a shop. But as of this writing the hours are pretty limited- just…read moreFriday and Saturday from 11am to 4 pm! Also- they have slightly changed their name from 'Counter Cheese Caves' to 'Counter Cheese Mongers' Must be a story there hahaha

We started off with a bottle of Pinot Grigio. For food, we did the pick 4 for $24. You have any selection of meats, cheese, and tapas. We went with goat cheese, black truffle salami, caprese, and the real standout was the prosciutto wrapped dates stuffed with Gorgonzola cheese!! I would highly recommend trying those. Overall, it was a great experience and I am looking forward to going back soon!

First time visiting this cute wine bar. Went during teacher appreciation week to take advantage of…read morethe specials for educators. Service was good. They answered our questions about the menu & explained the specials clearly. They had a few cheeses and tapas that I hadn't tried anywhere else before and everything was delicious. Their seasonal Wensleydale Lemon & honey cheese was DELICIOUS. I thought about that cheese for days afterwards, and hope they still have it when I return. Their wine choices for the special were good and their menu otherwise definitely has me wanting to return.

What a fun place to visit! I came in to get a sandwich after three different people recommended…read morethem to me. I had no idea they also had a very large selection of different types of cheese as well as meats. Bratwurst flavors I never knew existed. In addition, they have wine. There are a number of parings like mustards, jams, pickled vegetables, crackers, and charcuterie essentials. I ordered the charcuterie sammy and also purchased some Ruben brats to take home. The sandwich lived up to all the hype. Super fresh bread, flavorful Brie, and fresh greens. I also found a cute little slice of apple pie tucked in the bag! The staff is very friendly and helpful if you need any suggestions. Service was awesome. Highly recommended.

This place is super cool. Featuring at least 75% of Wisconsin meats and cheeses, which are…read moreabsolutely delicious. They have a great selection. They have a little sampling and they have cold water out for shoppers. The gentleman behind the counter created me immediately and was very nice. The missing Star is just because I think it's a little pricey.

We stumbled upon this place during our trip to Charleston. Given the rarity of quality cheese shops…read moreback home, we were overjoyed to see the quality and sheer diversity of what was on hand. Wine selection was good, if not as diverse as the cheeses. As impressed as we were with their products, I have to honestly say that this was the very first fromagerie in my life where there was an absolute and complete absence of joy in what they're doing. It's truly a shame, and I sincerely hope we simply stumbled upon an off day for them.

The food was outstanding -- beautifully presented, flavorful, and consistently praised by our guests throughout the evening. Equally impressive was the professionalism of the on-site team. Service was seamless, attentive, and well-coordinated, which made a significant difference in the overall success of the event. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence were evident at every stage, from planning to execution. Caviar & Bananas delivers both exceptional cuisine and exceptional service. I would confidently recommend them for corporate events, special occasions, or any gathering where quality and reliability matter. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

Recently I got the capresse sandwich, and it was good but I recommend getting that for din-in only. I had it to go and it was kind of soggy when I got back to my office.
