Definitely a cool stop in (or near?) eastern market in Detroit. It's 3 floors but the one you…read moredefinitely want to check out is the first. They sell edible goods local, foreign, and basic. The problem is that everything is somewhat to grossly overpriced. The local stuff sure - for example, I paid $2.50 a piece for Bev's Bagels (decent, nothing compared to mid tier NYC bagels but better than the vast majority of what you can find in southern Michigan). But for basic (or even foreign) goods it seems ridiculous to buy here instead of a normal grocery store or one of the myriad ethnic shops around. The real star is the cheese selection. They don't have much out, but they have a multi-page list of what they have in stock and they are both knowledgeable and generous with samples. I picked up a really interesting 12-year aged cheddar and tried a few others. There are always a couple of samples out but I've found them unexciting. They have an equally impressive list of meats but I haven't had the chance to explore those. Take the original (and super cool) elevator up to the second or third floors and you can find all kinds of knick knacks from lawn ornaments to Detroit gear. I'm not sure if it was a sale or not, but the last time I was there I picked up a decent quality t shirt for a mere $10. Overall it's a cool store and definitely worth checking out, but unless you're looking for a particularly rare cheese the likelihood of finding anything worth purchasing is slim.

The store is clean and well organized and the employees are friendly and helpful. One of the best things is you can try/taste the cheese. Ask for a taste of a particular cheese you are interested in and an employee will cut the cheese and give you a taste. If you go to Eastern Market, give DeVries & Co. Cheese shop a try. Nice selection of cheese and sauces and gifts in 3 floors.

They have quality of both and I came here with friends and their families to pick up some quality meats and cheeses in preparation for Thanksgiving spreads. They also offer so many other artisanal goodies (chocolate, coffee, tea, etc.) that you can browse as you wait for your meat/cheese order to be ready. The employees here are also so knowledgeable and friendly and will prepare everything to your specifications and help to provide recommendations based on what you're looking for and enjoy typically as well. They are consummate professionals and you can tell how much they genuinely enjoy working here and improving their craft! There is also a delicious menu of cheese-based sandwiches that often times sell out, so you can also pick up a delectable sandwich here after soaking in all the delicious food scents as well! Highly recommend literally everything here. They are pricier, but you're paying for proper goods that are worth every cent!

I called Gabriel Imported Foods and they said the husband in the couple that owned this business at Eastern Market passed away and the business closed after that. I wish I could have tried the stuffed grape leaves and other delectables...they sounded glorious. I am sad for how this business came to close- it seems as if it brought tasty joy to many lives. I hope the family is doing well now.

However, the tastings are in small groups of about 8 people at a time so you can hear the wine descriptions and interact with the group easily. I ran into a college classmate that I haven't seen in 8 years because we were both running our mouths about how we liked the wine we were tasting. I wasn't a fan of the wines we tasted but I loved the Chardonnay I purchased as we sat around and talked. Conner was a great server and gave excellent recommendations. There are plenty of seating options, including a few couches upstairs. I will be back just to enjoy the atmosphere and have a glass or 2 of the Chardonnay.
