I really like the option to place the order ahead of time for pickup. My go-to order is the avocado melt. I took off a star because I asked for no onions in the notes and I had quite the pile in the corner that I picked off. I could have used just a little more cheese but the bread was nice and crunchy. The tomato basil soup was also very tasty. There is a drizzle of basil oil on top so it appears to be "greasy". read more

What a cool spot that my wife and I stumbled upon while visiting Anchorage! I had one of the best Italian sandwiches I've ever had. It was so fresh. The service was great! The guy who took our order gave us a cookie on the house, because of our long travel day. Then we stuck around and sampled some cheeses and salami. Of course, we bought a couple of cheeses and a salami. Definitely some unique cheeses. read more

Come for the cheese. Left with soup, sandwich, and too much cheese! Excellent staff. Bro knows his squeaky cheeese, but too bad, they don't serve the squeaky stuff. We're not in Wisconsin, but it's a close 2nd for the big AK. Tables, chairs, lovely gift store next door. WINE. WHERES THE WINE?!?! Where's the espresso maker? Ok. Enough said. It's just gonna be the cheese. read more

Top notch service from Ian! From the moment we walked in we were welcomed and attended to. The place is so quaint and full of gourmet treats. They make sandwiches for lunch, have some baked goods like pie, sell truffle oil and if that still hasn't hooked you, sample some cheeses and fall in love with the yumminess. read more

Walked in and it was better than I expected. We stopped in to see if we could put an order in for a charcuterie board. And sadly it was, but the kind gentleman behind the counter put a smile on my face with the next phrase he spoke. We can build a board and you can sample. Oh my heart. We tried 4-5 cheeses and 3 meats. All so delicious, I don't remember the names but I'm going back today so I will update this later. I came here to not talk about the board but a sandwich. We caught them open on a day that they are usually closed. But because of the holidays they are open so they can fill orders. They had a very limited menu so we looked and we ordered. We got the game and cheese with mustard and fig jam. That sandwich is amazing. It has tomato, lettuce, red onion, i believe it's a Swiss cheese, Dijon mustard, fig jam on an amazing rustic bread. AMAZING! my daughter and I are meeting for lunch today and yes, yes we are getting that sandwich. She really wanted to try the grilled cheese, but in her text she said I don't even want that anymore. All I could do was laugh. If you find yourself in the area or just want a good sandwich, stop in grab one and maybe you will find something else delicious to nibble on. read more

I have meaning to come here for YEARS but every time I was in the area - it was closed. But today was the day! I am so happy they were open today for lunch. I ordered the black and blue sandwich and it was BEAUTIFUL. I am a sucker for a good sandwich. If you are a blue cheese lover - this is the sandwich for you. My friend ordered the classic grilled cheese and it came with the cutest little ramekin full of gherkins. The owner is happy to provide cheese samples while you wait. Take the opportunity to try out some fancy cheeses - you won't be disappointed. I will make sure to come back for lunch again soon. Service was awesome, cheese was tasty, and sandwiches full of flavor. read more

Excellent service Ambience is casual/relaxed. Got the avocado sandwich which was off scale wonderful. I thought that the grilled cheese was easily as good as the avocado but they were both great. There was a Gouda cheese sample that was so good we got some of the Gouda. Then we got a slice of pie- lemon curd and strawberry. Wow. That is now my favorite dessert. This place is really great. The employees are great to work with and have great advice. read more

The only artisanal cheese ship in Anchorage, but it's also so much more than just a deli! The sandwiches here while pretty pricey are honestly delicious. The Italian sandwich was one of my favorite sandwiches I ate this year. When purchasing I scoffed at the price ($19), and I do still think it's expensive, but it was delicious. An easy way for them to make the price seem a bit more reasonable is including something with their sandwiches. A little side salad, some pasta salad, a potato salad would be nice. I've also tried the cubano. It was good, but I'm very picky about Cubanos and this one was on the drier side sauce wise. This shop came under new ownership in 2021 so many cool things have been added like specialty event dinners. The owner used to operate the pop up "A crepe crew". There were a raclette and cacio e Pepe dinners. On the weekends they do brunch including many of the specialty crepe dishes from a crepe crew. They sometimes carry house made desserts as well. This shop has many specialty cheeses and meats that would be hard to find sold elsewhere in Anchorage. They make beautiful charcuterie boards if you need one for a party. I've gotten their "emergency cheese kits" which are fun little 2 person serving boards. Great for a picnic or to bring for a post hike snack. This shop is one of a kind and definitely deserves some love so it stays around for many years to come! read more

Love having a specialty cheese shop in town. You know you're in good hands when regulars are called out as soon as they walk through the door and samples are offered lovingly. Lunch was amazing - we had two sandwiches and a dessert that we were happy to have leftovers to take with us. Are they steep in price? Perhaps. Are they worth it? I say they are. The flavors and portions are amazing, and I'm eager to come back and try brunch. The setting is interesting as it is adjacent to a gallery, giving it an artsy vibe. And of course, the staff were super helpful in recommending our first try meals and describing what all they have to offer. read more

Lamar Sloss & his team at Fromagio's provided catering for a party we recently hosted at a nearby brewery. Their grazing boards were visually amazing & large. The boards included a wide variety of cheeses, meats, fruit, nuts and unique & delicious spreads [honey, fig jams + more]. Fromagio's also provided salads; the classic Caesar included house made focaccia croutons and the Summer salad featured snap peas, chevre & fresh Alaskan strawberries with a strawberry vinaigrette. Both were incredibly delicious and quickly devoured. Guests were raving about the food. Lamar was a pleasure to work with and so attentive during the party, making sure to check in frequently and coordinating seamlessly with the brewery management. Lamar, thanks for making our party so special. read more

What a delightful little place! I got the ham and jam sandwich, which was really nice. We also got the cup of tomato soup, which was delicious.

Kevin was AMAZING as a cheese monger. We had the charcuterie for two and it was excellent. I HIGHLY recommend this business. 10/10

Fromagios, known for being the cheese experts, also make killer sandwiches for lunch. Sometimes they do pop-ups at Double Shovel Cider Co. Fromagio's makes various cheesecakes and sweet treats for sale as well. I've ordered charcuterie from a few small local businesses, (millenials and their lunchables, am I right?!) And since I'll bet most of the smaller places get a lot of their cheese from Fromagios, I've always wanted to try their charcuterie. Most recently, I received a Love Day chocolate, cheese, and charcuterie box. It was ordered within hours of it being ready for pick-up. Fromagios definitely accommodates the procrastinators, and we appreciate them for that. The box was beautiful with a great mix of fresh, sweet, and savory items. I want to say it was my first time eating natural fig. Highly recommend. read more

The staff is friendly and helpful, whether you are picking out cheeses to go or trying one of their tasty sandwiches. You do need to be prepared to be flexible, as the inventory of cheeses varies fairly widely and also may be out of sandwich ingredients. I'm sure that's a part of having fresh choices and ingredients for serving our little town. There are a handful of bar stools and a couple tables for those that enjoy their sandwiches as I do. read more

Thank god, they are open again and they have all the beautiful cheese and meats again. And fabulous sandwiches and baked goods. This place is OFF THE CHAIN!!!! the European imports are of the best quality. Pure bliss. read more

Fromagio's is under new ownership. They opened back up around January 2021. Their new sandwiches are really good, but heavy and filling. There is no doubt more dine in & 'to go' options as far as sandwiches & food go. I do love the new Bellocq tea they have, which is a tea company they order from in Brooklyn, NY. The Afghan Chai is my favorite tea that they offer at Fromagio's. Their variety of cheese is the same great flavor. Some of the cheeses themselves are a little bit more expensive than I remember them being. That could be due to a lot of factors, like the pandemic and the price of cheese & shipping going up. Everything is pretty good. I do appreciate that they have a few new creations like the cheese cake and more sandwiches. The main issue I have with this place under new ownership is the prices they charge for their food. They're least expensive sandwich is around $14ish and their most expensive is around $17. Their mini portable cheese cake is around $18. I wouldn't buy a sandwich at that price unless I wanted something really heavy, filling, and it was an every once in a while treat. I probably won't come in as often as I used to for that reason. The price of food in Anchorage and in general is increasing and I'm more discerning about what I'm purchasing going forward. All in all, it's good, there are more food options, but I'm skeptical of their new prices and if the value of what you're getting with the food is worth the price. read more

Let's not mess about. Go there and order the Italian with a smores cookie. It's filling, filled with flavor, and worth every penny. Go there early because sometimes the sandwiches are in such high demand that they run out. The cheese is great and the art gallery is a plus. Love this place. I highly recommend. read more

This place is great! Amazing cheese and some great food items to pair it with. They will let you sample before hand and the staff is supper knowledgeable so ask the questions. They also offer a class for those of you who want to learn more! The class is $40 but all you do is learn and eat cheese and other paired snacks!! read more

Wow! This place is amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a wide variety of cheeses to choose from but the sandwiches they do are amazing! Would definitely go with the Italian if it's your first time here! This sandwich is massive! For size and the quality of this sandwich the price is definitely perfect. The bread is very soft, the different veggies go with it very well. They use what's in the display for cheeses and meats for their sandwiches. So you know it is high quality. Definitely worth stopping by for a sandwich to go or dine in. Also don't forget to stop by and get some cheese! They have enough cheese to choose from for you to keep coming back for more! Stay cheesy! read more

I ordered a cheese platter and a charcuterie platter the day of an event I was hosting. Because, you know, I'm a procrastinator. These folks told me that it would be ready at 5:30pm the same day and it was early even a little bit earlier than that! The cheese and meat were huge hits at the party, the only things left were the beautiful slabs they were served on. Will definitely use them again for all my meat and cheese needs! read more

What an adorable shop. I'm not sure why I haven't come here sooner. It's probably because I'm not a huge cheese Eater but I needed some parmesan and could not bear the idea of getting the cheap pre -shredded, atrocious supermarket cheese so I stopped in here on this sunny day to check them out. Not only do they have a huge selection, it's very clean and nicely displayed. Next time we fondue, I'll be coming back here to get the cheese I need. I got the most beautiful hunk of parmesan. I can't wait to toss some with my asparagus tonight. Yummy! Do try them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

What a beautiful experience! When it's time for a charcuterie tray it's time Fromagio's! From the Duck Prosciutto (buy it by the slice!) to the selections of blue cheeses (some for pairing with fruit and some for your steak!), to choosing between the 5- and 10-year Hooks Cheddar cheeses! the process of making your choices will be as much fun as eating these delectables! Well... almost. Don't forget to add on some Quince jam, or Buffalo crackers... mixed olives... Almonds... Dried cherries. Much to choose from! read more

This place used to be AMAZING I mean to die for, their grilled cheese was second to none. The cheese was aged incredible flavor, they would use 2-3 different kinds in your sandwich, there are honestly no words to describe it. Unfortunately the place is now under new ownership and it seems quality is not their priority. I went back after being out of state for a while hoping to find my all time favorite and unfortunately the sandwich was incredibly disappointing. The cheese had no flavor at all, it could have been Kraft cheese. Very bland one kind and the sandwich, I mean my six year old could have made it better. For 15$ (tip included) I'd expect more then this from an artisan cheese shop. It's honestly heart breaking, I loved this place and now it's just a memory. read more

Be still my heart - to have a length conversation about cheese, the regions, how they make it...it's so cool to find this in Anchorage! Next time I'm heading I either with a wine list in hand, or with a notebook so I can pair wine with the cheese rather than vice versa. What a service to provide - delicious product AND excited food conversation! It's lovely inside and it's neat that it's paired with a beautiful gift shop. Go to there. read more

I stopped by here last week during my lunch break. It's a tiny shop that's easy to miss, but definitely worth the visit. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the cheeses, and they're very generous with samples. I ended up getting two types of Gouda cheese, both from the Netherlands and made from cow's milk. The L'Amuse Signature Gouda is earthy and nutty, while the Wilde Weide Gouda has a sharper, more fruity flavor. I tried some of the cheese made from goat's milk and sheep's milk which I enjoyed as well. I also got some of their housemade fruit and nut crisps, which pair with the cheeses excellently. Perfectly crunchy and slightly sweet from the dried fruit pieces. I intend to go back sometime to try their lunch menu, which consists of sandwiches, soups, salads, mac and cheese, and boards with a variety of cheeses, fruits, and nuts. I look forward to visiting again next time I want to expand my cheese-tasting horizons. read more

As a cheese lover, this place is a dream come true. Fromagio's is located on the corner of Arctic and 36th Ave in a shopping plaza next to an art gallery and across from Kobe Teppayaki House. The seating area is cozy with a few tables and chairs for the lunchtime crowd. The employees are very friendly and are happy to give you a free sample of the delicious assortment of cheeses on display at the counter. I was offered a sample of the Bayley Hazen Blue Cheese which was creamy melt-in-your-mouth good. The guy behind the counter recommended this cheese for grilling burgers in the backyard. Sold! That cheese was so good I could've had that as a snack by itself. I came in a couple of times since I heard that they serve lunch items like sandwiches, soups, and salads and I was eager to try some of these with the artisanal cheeses. I ordered their Cubano Melt sandwich which had sliced roast ham, gruyere cheese, pickles, lettuce, and mayo on toasted Ciabatta bread with a side of tomato soup sprinkled with their specialty blue cheese. This was one of the best sandwich and soup meals I've had recently along with the Chicken Alaska sandwich I had at Great Harvest. The bread was hot and fresh while the meat was juicy and the gruyere full of flavor. On a previous visit, I ordered their Italian Melt which had coppacuolo (Italian ham), salami, pepperoni, and provolone on Ciabatta and this was outstanding as well. Some of the featured cheeses they had available are the Mt. Tam (smooth, creamy triple-cream made with organic milk and a buttery, earthy flavor comparable to white mushrooms from California's Cowgirl Creamery), the Seastack (a bloomy rind cow milk cheese aged two to three weeks with a buttery silky flavor made in Washington state), the Vermont Shepherd (a hard cheese with a sweet and salty flavor), the Flora Nelle (blue cheese with a salty intense flavor....perfect for making cheeseburgers or smothered on top of a juicy steak), and a creamy, tangy version of their Feta cheese. Father's Day promotional cheeses include the Garda Reserve, Pleasant Ridge, Blackstone, and the aforementioned Bayley Hazen Blue cheeses with a choice of two meats (a combination of all four artisanal cheeses 1/4lb each for a total of 1lb. and two cured meats at a 1/4lb. total). They also offer decorative cheese and charcuterie meat platters that also include a choice of house-made fruit & nut crisps, marcona almonds, or dried cherries. In addition to selling cheeses, they also offer two-hour cheese tasting classes where you will learn and understand the different styles of cheese making, milk type, flavors, and traditions as well as catering services for wedding receptions and parties. A fun place to visit for any cheese lover to enjoy the free samples as well as having lunch with top-quality ingredients for their entire menu. read more
