The latte foam espresso is to die for! I can't say enough good things about this "farm to table" destination experience. You can even watch the cheese making process on certain days when fresh milk is delivered. There isn't a lot of road side appeal but, trust me, it's worth going and supporting with your moola!!

Will definitely be back to try some of their delicious cheese as well. From the looks of it I'm sure they have no problem with you having a family picnic there if you bought a few things from the farm store, idyllic country side near the city at its best. Maybe a five minute drive from willobrook mall and I'll take this over their food court any day!

We loved this place! Stopped by on our own random self guided farm tour and came here first. We…read morearrived early and the owner saw us and let us right in to sample some delicious cheeses. We got a little bit of gelato (OMG best gelato) and got to help corral the goats into their feeding area. Such cuties! We took home some soft cheese for the bread we had at our Air B&B and we wish we had bought more so we could bring it home. So much good stuff! This is number one on our list of places to revisit next time we are in town!

Are you a cheese fanatic? Come here! I've been coming here since I was a little girl with my Swiss…read morefather and Les Amis Du Fromage (LADF) was located on Alma St. in a little plaza. LADF has always satisfied our Swiss house hold, supplying cheeses from all around the world! I've come by and found some unique cheeses that I truly don't believe you can find other than at a speciality cheese store. There is always a line up here (even pre-COVID). They know their stuff when it comes to the taste of each cheese and recommendations. You can find everything for the perfect charcuterie board, including meats, jams, napkins, etc. too!

This is it, this is the only cheese spot you need to know about in Vancouver because IT IS LEGIT!…read moreWe have been enjoying the cheese at Les Amis for over five years now and they've never disappointed! During covid my partner and I have gotten into something we call Cheese O Clock every second Friday where we go to Les Amis and pick three different cheeses to try for the weekend. We pair the cheeses with some good wine and add chorizo or smoked salmon and it's quite a delight! Something that's certainly been a highlight during our stays at home during these times. The service is spectacular and they all know so much about cheese I love how if a cheese I like is out of stock they'll recommend one that's equally as great to me! It's so awesome when staff now what they're selling! We go every second weekend so obviously imma gonna give them a five star! If you're in the mood for fondue, this is your go to as well! They make incredible cheese mixes that you can mix with wine and heat on your stove! If you're in the mood for olives too, look no further! Les Amis has got it all!

Special shout-out to the heavenly cheese selection and the cute and clean premises. They also have an Italian pork jowl that I can't find anywhere else in town. Considering the rising price of eating out (and junk food), I will get myself some fancy treats here every week instead.

Although the staff at McLean's was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and I did get hooked by…read morethe nostalgic story of the place, I was kind of unimpressed with McLean's. We got a LOT of stuff there, including crackers, pate, cheeses, jams, and a bunch of other items, all of which sort of flatlined. Now, in McLean's defense, the pate and cheeses were the only things they brought in specifically under their name. And the place was EXTREMELY cute, and they served sandwiches, and the owner was friendly and on premesis, and they'd let you bring wine if you wanted... ...but really, everything flatlined. The fig crackers tasted like prunes. The sheep's brie was overly strong in flavor, almost off-tasting. The porter cheddar tasted like...plain cheddar. The pate was bland. One standout was a cheese (I forget the name) which had a line of gorgonzola down the centre. Really, of everything we bought, this is the only thing I'd consider re-purchasing. Now I don't want to rule this place out based on one trip, but it *was* expensive (some of the crackers and jams were way over-priced) and I *was* disappointed, considering how it's touted around town as being wonderful. I like to support local businesses, so I will be back to purchase a significantly smaller portion of cheese. Till then...

Come with me and you'll be In a world of pure imagination…read moreTake a look and you'll see Into your imagination Yes, to me, this place is the cheese equivalent of Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory - cheese, glorious cheese, for your sampling pleasure. And not just any cheese, prize winning cheeses! After gorging ourselves on fruit wine and cheese samples we took our purchases, accompanied by Stryder, the adorable big black poodle farm dog, to their lovely picnic area. It even has a sink for you to wash your hands before you eat, since it is impossible to resist petting all of the baby animals that you encounter along the way. They provide a self-guided tour map for you to explore this working farm with very few limitations. They only ask that they respect their property and that you leave it in the pristine condition that you found it. For those familiar with their cheese products from stores or farmer's markets, this store sells some artisan cheeses that you won't necessarily find in the other stores. Their factory is undergoing a major refurb which will not be complete for a short while so we were not able to do a factory tour but that by no means diminished our visit.

It is so unexpected to be closed on Monday, and we often drive from Nanaimo just to come back with nothing. It's really disappointing, maybe you can consider to have at least one worker to be there on Mondays so people can buy milk and something else.

I like this cheese shop a lot. Besides the types of cheese available, there are also yogurt, milk…read moreand eggs. My friend told me people living in the area could get their dairy products here on pre-assigned days. I love this community living. Due to covid-19, only 3 people (same party) are allowed inside the store. The washroom is also closed. You could see see the goats and kids and watch them feeding from the trough. Inside the shop, there are some local or BC products which will make good gifts or souvenirs. The sorbet and gelato are also great, especially when the weather is hot. I will suggest to have a cooler/ice box in your car if you intend to buy any cheese or milk. I did not have it and the fat/oil from my cheese truffle oozed out onto the lid of another container. Lucky it did not get any messier. But the cheese and yogurt are all good after I put them in the fridge when I got home. Nice place for a stop if you are in the Harrison Hot Springs area. And get the sorbet! It is so refreshing.

It's such a unique and charming touch that makes the place feel special. Before I left, I picked up some of their chive Havarti cheese -- and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Creamy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Friendly staff, cozy vibe, and amazing food. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area -- both for a meal and to stock up on cheese!
