As soon as you walk in, the bakery is on the right, and everything there is massive. Think cookies and pastries that are basically double the normal size but not price! But the real magic happens on the left side, in the cheese shop. They've got jams, pickled goodies, and what feels like hundreds of different cheeses. We grabbed some of their famous fresh cheese curds (so good!) along with a few other cheeses from the fridge. Pro tip: check out the discount section towards the left fridge at the back --25% off cheeses that are still good until 2026? They even have free samples in the back, which made it extra fun to explore. Such a perfect little road trip stop.

There are so many choices and plenty of samples to choose from, cheeses, meats, fudge and ice cream! There are also some very cute housewares and other unique items!

It's right off I-94!

I'll be honest, I was a little unsure about what we were going to come across when we pulled off the highway into this town, but I'm so glad we stopped into Le Coulee. It was such a nice little shop with a great selection of cheese (and crackers!!!) and other gift-shop type things. The man working (who may have been the owner?) was so incredibly kind and helpful. We left feeling so satisfied that we got our Wisconsin cheese at the recommendation of a cheese-shop owner and had such a pleasant experience there!

This store is cute, but this is Wisconsin and the bar for a good cheese store is fairly high. This…read moreplace did not clear that bar. Many grocery stores in Wisconsin have more extensive specialty cheese selections than the Cheese Castle. This place is 3 refrigerator sized coolers with cheese (and butter and meat). If looking for a wide variety of cheese, keep looking. If looking for a cute store with cheese and candy and such while in West Salem, than this certainly should be a stop you make. Ie, stop if in town, no need to go out of your way to stop, though.

The squeak is like the bouquet of a fine wine....the sign of excellence....according to Wisconsin standards. They have more varieties of cheese than I can count along with fresh butter, Braunschweiger, Summer Sausage and a small ice cream store and more. Around Christmas expect long lines, customers purchase by the box load and gift fresh cheeses and sausages. A stop to the "Cheese Factory" isn't complete with a visit to the ice cream shop and enjoy a scoop or two in a cone or dish.

Fun to browse their unique and local grocery items while you're waiting for your food. They also have some good Happy Hour deals!
