We loved this place, if I could have been able to buy all the cheese I would have done it for sure. So many delicious cheese flavors and styles plus other goodies you might need if you want to create your own cheese/Charcuterie board. Also, they have a curated variety of imported and US-made food products. And house tools for cheese lovers (even kits to make cheese). Everyone here is very friendly, and knowledgeable about cheese, and you can tell they care about their clients and community. It is a very cute place, a paradise for cheese lovers like me. Everything is very well organized, and well taking care of and clean. They also have wines, ciders and beers to go there. read more

I decided to check out their offerings, since I was in the area. I never actually made it here when the cheese lady was here and they were open. Never had such luck until now. Glad I ended up going to brunch nearby. Wanted to check out their Gouda and their goat milk offerings. Could use some yummy goat milk cheese after all, right? Decided to try several of their different goat cheese Goudas. I learned that I prefer their harder cheeses, not fond of the soft cheese unless it's in a salad or something. I tried their midnight moon, ballerina, smoke, Beemster and honeybee. I ended up purchasing two 1/4 of each of the harder cheeses (Midnight moon, Beemster and Honey Bee) $46.86. The ballerina and smoked is a softer cheese and doesn't have as much flavor as the midnight moon. The midnight moon has the most defined flavor out of all that I tried today. More expensive than I would have liked, but fantastic that you can try many of them. The female staffer was more knowledgeable about the cheeses than the younger male staffer, he was nice to work with. She was just as nice. read more

I love Dolcetto! It is fun and the staff is fun and knows a lot about cheese! The prices are fair and the cheese tastes AMAZING!! Thank you, Dolcetto! I actually think the cheese saved my relationships because I bought people cheese and they were so so happy! read more

A cheese lovers paradise!! What a terrific wine/cheese shop. We stopped in to just look around, and came away very much impressed. They had a terrific array of cheeses, crackers, assorted gourmet teas, seasonings, accessories, meats, wine etc- whatever you'd want for a charcuterie board. They even had a nice display of vegan and lactose free cheeses. The staff seemed helpful and even discussed wine and cheese pairings with all of us. The staff seemed super knowledgeable. The prices were on par with the market and Farmington location. Excellent service, selection and ambiance!! read more

Recently moved to the area and decided to come in. I'm a big cheese fan, my bf is a bit more pickier but we loved everything we tried. We were greeted immediately and the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

They have a wide variety of tasty cheeses as well as other select goodies. A person will give you their attention, provide information, let you sample, and cut for you the amount of each cheese you want to buy. I brought in my daughter from Philadelphia; she bought extra to take home. read more

Formerly The Cheese Lady. Thankfully the new owner, Lindsey, and her husband are continuing in the same vein as the shop we grew to know and love. Fabulous assortments of cheeses! You're welcome to sample a few to help you decide. Service is pleasant, and the team is knowledgeable. Order ahead the grilled cheese sandwich kit for a fun and delicious approach to a classic - it comes with fresh bread, an abundance of cheese and a delicious chunk of made in Michigan butter. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some Mimolette and Midnight Moon calling my name read more

Excellent knowledge by employee fabulous choice of cheese and AMAZING crackers!!! They had a raffle for purchasing customers and I won gift certificate and t shirt. Spent 71.00$ yesterday going back today!!!! read more

THE place to visit if you love cheese. They let you try everything before buying (don't take advantage!). During COVID shutdown, we've attended...and loved!...three virtual wine and cheese pairings. Kendra does an amazing job pairing cheese to wine. Just ask...she'll know what you need. Ken loves crunchy salt crystals in his cheese. They know how to make that happen! Want a stinky super creamy cheese...they got you. Want a cheese and charcuterie board that'll wow your in-laws or boss...they're on it. I love this place. You will too. read more

Will not be going back or recommending this shop any longer. I was told by the owner they where to busy to help me. It used to be a fun friendly place, no longer. read more

The variety of cheese is excellent. The staff is very knowledgeable about the background of cheese. And I love tasting the samples.

HUGE selection of cheese. Staff is very knowledgeable and will let you sample as many cheeses as you want and offer recommendations based on your tastes to help you make your choices. read more

The cheese lady serves up tasty cheese and vegan cheese! I've never seen so many options for a dairy free cheese shop which makes me and my husband happy because there is something for everyone. The quality of all the cheeses are lovely and the customer service is outstanding I end up buying way more than planned. read more

We make special trips out of the way to see the cheese lady! Love this place. There's a plethora of choices!

I went into this store and I will DEFINITELY be coming back. I stepped inside and I felt like I was in good Cheese heaven. The cheese lady is a Michigan only franchise. The creator Kathleen started out selling cheese at the farmers market. I talked with the wonderful Mitch who informed me that his parents were the owners of this location. They were at the Grand Rapids store so much that they joked that it would be cheaper to just open one themselves and so they did. Mitch went through in depth detail about each and every cheese and What crackers and topping you should pair it with for full effect and flavor. Today I tried many including a lovely chocolate cheese and a unique Humbolt fog- which is a Chèvre made in a medieval style so you have a change in the consistency and features a soft rind. They offer cheese from Michigan and world wide upon request and I highly recommend that you come in through out the week to ask about and sample their cheese selections. They will be announcing the schedule for their cheese 101 classes held in house during the new year. I asked Mitch what would he want potential customers to know about this The Cheese Lady location and he said, "We want to make sure that you get what you love and when you get home you devour it and come back". A fantastic time today exploring all things Cheese. read more

This place is just fantastic. Hosted by a super friendly staff that's knowledgeable and who take the time to give you the 411 on what you're looking for. They offer free samples of anything you'd like to try before you buy, which honestly, probably sells a lot more cheese for them. Once you try one you'll want to try more and their cheese is the shiznit. They'll also cut whatever amount you'd like to purchase or you can have them cut whatever portion size to match what you'd like to spend. I found that their prices were less expensive than Holiday, Trader Joe's or Westborn and their quality is unmatched. They have craft beer and a small assortment of wine along with different dried meats and crackers, artisan bread from up the block, as well as a few great gift ideas, cookbooks, small batch toffees, and some other great merchandise worth looking over. If you love cheese this is a destination you need to make time to visit! If you get on their Facebook they'll send you recipe ideas and a heads up on what's new in the store. read more

There isn't another place like this ANYWHERE in the vicinity... Everyone who works here KNOWS THEIR STUFF! I bought a potato chip goat cheese, a parm rind for cooking and a block of feta. You can stay here all day sampling but everything will be good. The staff is very helpful so it's hard to walk out with only three cheeses. Looking forward to going back! read more

I LOVE, LOVE this store! I had my first brush with The Cheese Lady in Traverse City last summer but just found out about this store this morning when a new brunch spot was right next to this store. We tried a handful of different cheeses this morning and they were all delicious! We ended up with my favorite garlic Gouda and some truffle Gouda, that while pricey, is so worth it! I will definitely be back. read more

The fact that a cheese is on their web page menu does not mean they actually have it. I made a special trip and asked for Sapsago. "I'm sorry we don't have any." "You should always call first to make sure we really have the cheese on our web page." She never offered to check the other store for stock. She didn't offer to take my phone number and call me when it was back in stock. It was an absolute failure of customer service. read more

This is a nice shop in a great location. It's on the pricey side but you have to pay if you want extensive knowledge of cheeses. I purchased a box of Parmesan crisps and a bottle of juice. I can't remember which juice! Oh well. I'm a sucker for obscure and novel drinks so I'll return for others. read more

Great selection of cheeses. I went there for a business discussion and left with 3 different cheeses. Kyle was very knowledgeable about the all of the cheeses and gave great recommendations. I won't buy grocery store cheese ever again. read more

This place is awesome and unique! Visited for the first time today after our stop at the Farmer's Market. Luckily we had already picked up a delicious baguette from Canelle bakery. My kids were drooling over all the cheese and wanted to taste many, which you can do! Makes it much harder to say no when the kids are ooohing and aaahing over cheese lol. You can taste anything, and the staff is super knowledgeable, so they will help you select anything, and you can buy any quantity small or large, so its perfect! We came home and made a cheese board for lunch. Amazing. read more

For all the cheese and cheese pairing needs. As simple as that, really. If you love cheese as I do, this is your place.

this is such an amazing little store! the cheese is amazing, and they also have fun events. My personal favorites are the ballerina gouda, and st. angle brea. it's also really nice that they give you samples of all the cheese so you don't waste your money read more

I have really liked this place but yesterday the employee was pretty condescending to me and my friends. Also, there was health concern about the lack of changing gloves or wearing them and the washing of hands. Isn't it a health violation to go between touching food and money even with gloves on? On the upside the cheese has been fantastic. read more

I love the cheese lady! Is she a real person? If so, I would like to give her a hug :-) I've come on a few occasions while putting charcuterie boards together for parties, and I've never been disappointed by their quality and array of flavors that they carry. Everything from blends, soft, hard, fruity and sweet, the list goes on. The best part about this is they let you try whatever you want and as many as it takes for you to make a decision. The employees are also very knowledgable in helping you narrow down what to buy which is perfect for someone as indecisive as myself. The store also offers different spreads to accompany your cheese, wines, craft beers, a cold case of cured meats, and of course a wall of every kind of cracker. If you love cheese this is store is a must. And if you happen to figure out if there actually is a cheese lady, give her a hug for me! read more

I have loved all the cheese I have sampled so far but my favorite by far has been Cotswold. Every time I buy a half pound which is a pretty big chuck it is gone in a few days. My smallest loves it oddly even though it has chives and onion. So rich and tasty though. Super glad they added a location to Farmington have been T.C. location every time up in area. Great selection of crackers, breads, wines and beer to accompany your cheese too. Finally have a cheese board which looks beautiful. Worth stopping in for sure. Lots of great gifts ideas for a great unique gift. Staff is super nice and at the farmers market for Saturday's also. read more

Of course, the cheese selection is huge, and everything I tried is delicious, but my absolute favorite part of the this place is the customer service. I felt like walked away learning so much about cheese, and that I talked to a person that really, really cared about their work and customers. Thanks, Joe. We will definitely be coming back. read more

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They carry Leelanau Raclette from Suttons Bay. Left with some of that, a young French raclette, and some cave aged Gruyere. They provide taste samples to make sure the cheese meets your tastes and needs. They will help you with selection for recipes, wine pairings, or just enjoy some great Located in the same lot as TJ Maxx. Great find. read more

Whenever I come back to Michigan to visit my mom, this is now a required stop. I have called ahead to make sure Kyle was there before I came in. He is the most knowledgeable and pleasant person I have ever met when it comes to the world of cheese. The other staff in the shop are always pleasant, but KYLE....just go when he is there. My absolute favorite cheese is the Mango and Ginger Stilton. It is from the English blue cheese family. There are chunks of ginger and mango that cut into a mildly sweet creamy chunk. You must pair it with the Almondina crackers/cookies that they also sell in the shop. An almost tie is with the Applewood Smoked Cheddar. It is a paprika lover's dream. I recently scrambled eggs with it and seriously almost died. My mom is coming to visit me soon, and I am sending her an order to pick up and pack in her carryon for Christmas! read more

I find the name off putting. I stopped in out of curiosity. The associates were very friendly and extremely knowledgable. I sampled many cheeses, and was motivated to buy a lot. They have an extraordinary selection of high quality, delicious cheeses. Don't impulse buy a bunch of cheese, goofball. But...if you love cheese or need to stock up for a snobby party, this is the place to go. Next review...cholesterol medication. read more

I love The Cheese Lady and am so grateful for this little gem in downtown Farmington. I stop by frequently to taste what's new, check out their monthly special, and indulge in my obsession with cheese. Kyle is THE best, so very knowledgeable about each type of cheese. He's great at making recommendations. Let him be your guide . . . and then expand from there and be daring. Try new cheeses, get outside of your comfort zone. There's a great world of cheese to be discovered and The Cheese Lady is the perfect venue. Yes, it's a little pricey, but it's well worth the customer service, the ability to try before you buy, and to get just the amount you need. My current favorite is the sriracha cheddar . . . make sure to try it when you visit! read more

Stopped by today and received excellent service! We went in and described something we were looking for, and immediately were offered several options by their knowledgeable and friendly staff. They let us try samples of everything - we ended up with three different cheeses for a great price! read more

I have no idea why there are so many reviews citing this place as friendly and helpful..stopped along to check out the wares, no greeting upon entry despite 4 staff members actively working in the front end. Despite looking around totally lost for 10 minutes staff never offered help on top of not greeting us. Staff looked right into our faces and didnt say one word. One staff member walked past me within inches and didnt say one word. We were totally ignored and treated poorly. Resulting in us feeling uncomfortable..I noticed other customers being actively engaged with staff. Although I'm typically not the type to cite racism but definitely feel my experience was based off of myself being a person of color. Would not return ever. Nothing really worth purchasing at those prices also. read more

Very clean and lots of delicious options to choose from! I found a delicious vegan Mediterranean style cheese with tasty crunchy vegan crackers! They also have tons of regular stuff as well read more

I'm no cheese expert-but they were really helpful and allowed me to try as many cheeses as I wanted before purchasing the ones that I enjoyed. They were very patient and it was an enjoyable experience. read more
