    Whew! Loved Cheese & Crack Snack Shop and will be thinking about it for a long time to come =')…read more Came here from a recommendation from a friend as an afternoon snack. Hubs & I shared the Beecher's & Brie Brulee and The Cheese & Crack Sundae. The Beecher's & Brie Brulee was honestly very good and shareable for 2 people. I've been a bit obsessed with brulee cheese since having it in Italy, but rarely see it anywhere so I was excited to see it here! And it was delish. Like an adult's lunchables, you can build your own sweet or salty or savory bite! Yum! The Cheese & Crack Sundae was delicious Vanilla Soft-Serve with a chocolate ganache and toasted marshmallow that make it like a s'more ice cream sundae. Really loved it, as it was *not to sweet* and I loved the toasted marshmallow bites. Service was fairly quick. They have one unisex restroom that was fairly clean. Parking is easy (street parking) if you don't mind walking a little.

    Visited on a Wednesday night, thinking maybe there wouldn't be a long line, but I was surely wrong!…read moreWaited about 25-30 minutes, but I felt that it was worth it (for once!). The cones are $4 and you have the option to add flavored "dust" such as espresso, matcha, beet, and malt. My wife chose the malt dust with an added chocolate cowboy hat. She was very pleased with, but found the ganache at the bottom of the cone entirely too rich. Each cone offers a large amount of ice cream, and there did not appear to be sizes, but all in all, a very instagrammable and delicious cone. I opted for the banana pudding sundae, which consisted of the vanilla soft service and banana pudding topped with two Nilla wafers. I do this this could be a bit improved by adding Nilla wafers throughought the cup, but it was creamy and satisfied the sweet tooth nonethless. The indoor space was cozy with a few seats either facing the kitchen or the window. There's also an outdoor platform that most people opted for since the line really made inside feel crowded. Staff was friendly and delivered orders accurately in spite of crowds. I would love to return to cheese plates and/or the brie & marionberry sammy. Would 100% recommend if you're looking for a sweet treat with both traditional and more creative flavor profiles.

    Great team, wonderful experience! So kind and informative…read more I came in for some cheese but left with meat and bread.

    I have written previously about a newish Seattle cheese shop, Street Cheese on Beacon Hill. I had…read morementioned that it was reminiscent of my visit to Cowbell in Portland. Both are located in untypical locations. Cowbell is located in a bit of a gritty industrial area in Central Eastside, Like Street Cheese, Cowbell has a curated selection of cheeses. It also has a good selection of gourmet foods including imported pasta and olive oil. The setup here for ordering is like you would at a restaurant rather than like picking and choosing cheeses in a deli. As such, you have a conversation with the cheesemonger about what you are looking for and they suggest cheeses to fit your needs. For me, I was visiting Portland for a few days and wanted some brie with a baguette. The Trillium by Tulip Cheese in Indiana that was suggested was a good choice pared with the locally made Little T baguette that the shop carries. It was nice that I could get a half portion as the full piece would have been too much for my short stay. If you are interested in specialty cheeses and need help with finding what cheeses you like, I would recommend visiting Cowbell to help you figure out your cheese preferences.

Estrella's Cheese can be found at Beecher's Handmade Cheese, DeLaurenti, Whole Foods, Madison Market and The Cheese Cellar. My fiance' and I had signed up with a tour group sponsored by The Edgewater Hotel. We met at the Hotel around 8:00am and joined an intimate group of 6 which included a couple visiting Seattle, a father and son duo, the Chef and our Tour Guide. The tour provided transportation and a boxed lunch courtesy of the Chef. The ride down to the Creamery would average around 45 minutes to an hour so Chef supplied a well planned out game which he tested our knowledge on cheese and congratulated the winning team with Max McCalman & David Gibbons book "A Connoisseur's Guide to the Worlds Best Cheese". We didn't win. :( boo. lol Arriving around 9:30am, we were greeted by the entire Estrella Family. Kelli led the tour which took us through their entire operation to how they raise and milk their cows and goats and the cheese cellar where we got a chance to see more than a decade of cheeses. After the tour of the farm, Kelli brought us into the factory. Sanitized, capped and booties on, we were ready to make some cheese! It was so much fun! Having the chance to be a part of the process was amazing! After cleaning up, we headed outside where Kelli surprised us with wine and a table spread of cheeses. It was so fresh! I have never tasted cheese with so much flavor and definition. You could taste the freshness of the farm and the care they take in the process. At the end of the tour, we made sure to bring home a bag of this organic goodness and not to mention, made some great new friends. What a great day! :)

    This place is super cool in general. You can see all the production of their on the second floor…read moreand they offer you free cheese to sample as well! The bottom floor includes their gift shop and restaurants. I tried their fried cheese curds which were pretty yummy. They taste just like mozzarella sticks but tiny. Their grilled cheese was great as well, not as good as the Starbucks one though. I didn't try their ice cream but it seems to be the most popular item. You order at the front or online. I would recommend ordering at the front because their online menu doesn't include things like their pizza. This is a cool experience. Their food is alright but I may be biased since I am also lactose intolerant

    I'll start by saying that I went on Sunday of Labor Day weekend so that may have attributed to the…read morechaos but the place was absolutely packed. There were lines to do everything - to find parking, to see the factory floor, to get food, to get samples - and I can't say I felt waiting in any of them was worth it after the experience was completed. Glad to have gone, but probably won't seek it out again until I have to. The facility is quite nice and renovated, but my understanding is the experience was a lot better beforehand. Previously you would get numerous cut samples vs the one and 2 prepackaged cheddars we received. We waited maybe 30 minutes or more for food. The line was so long that we ordered and finished pizza from the express lane before getting to the counter for the burger and cheese curds we had ordered. That said- the food was pretty damn good (but not 30+ minutes of waiting in line good). Skip the burger, get the spicy aioli for the curds, and don't miss the Detroit style pizza. I can't speak to the ice cream because we had major line-fatigue after our lunch. The facility is very family friendly and inclusive for persons with mobility challenges. While packed, we did find picnic bench seating outside on the covered patio to eat our lunch at. There's also an expansive lawn for those looking to picnic or stretch their legs.
