When I entered, there was one employee and one customer, who was paying at the register. That customer left quickly, and that employee... well, apparently I'm invisible. I actually felt like I was imposing on her morning. Not one helpful remark or even a smile - so I left without buying anything. The only good thing about this was that when I got back to my car, I saw that I had an email from BlueMercury with a 20% off $200 purchase, and was able to order my favorite body care products from them instead.

Yes, I know this little…read morejingle is about beans (see previous review) but Andante cheese just makes me SO HAPPY and I always hum this jingle when I am happy. (Which is pretty often and annoying to friends and family.) Anyway, my favorites from Andante include Rondo (I think it is so cute I had to take a picture) and Minuet. Rondo is a mix of cow's and goat's milk and according to the website, has "the fine texture and brightness of a goat's milk cheese and the mouth feel of a cow's milk cheese." Basically just means it is damn good cheese. The Minuet is a goat's milk triple-creme and is super, super smooth and is designed for champagne tasting. However, I am a heathen and prefer just to have it plain. Andante has a little stand at the Ferry farmer's market and is located at the far backside of the building next to Della Fattoria. A must visit!

I just happened to see a post on Facebook about a warehouse sale for Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese…read moreCo. and marked it down in my calendar to attend. It was at their warehouse on Payran Street in Petaluma from 12:30pm to 6:00pm on 03/14/2025. I got there about 5:40pm and was surprised at the prices. I mean Toma that normally is $22/lb was $6/lb for precut wedges, and packages of Soppressata Salami for $3 instead of $8! You can't beat that with a stick!! Their cheese selection was large and very reasonably priced! The salami, well you could buy it by the package or the case with an additional 10% discount off the case. And the nice thing was they took credit & debit cards. Usually Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co., is found in specialty places as well as the farmers market and this was their first warehouse sale event. The people working it told me with it being a cold, gloomy day that had a little drizzle, they didn't expect many people but apparently they had lines of people all day long! Hopefully, they will continue to do their warehouse sales as the prices are phenomenal, their cheese are excellent and it's always nice to buy and support local businesses!! My fingers are crossed that they'll announce some more warehouse sales!

Lala herself has been present whenever I go or at various local street fairs, patient in explaining her concoctions, and letting my taste so many free samples. I also appreciate that it's not overly sweet - it's subtle, which IMO helps to better taste the fruit. She also holds jam making classes at her store, which looks like it may have once been a residence. It's on a main road though there isn't a lot of typical foot traffic as it's not on the main downtown drag. Consider this the discovery you should make to support a local business and pick up a few jars!
