So many delectable condiments (pickles, mustard, crackers, bread, butter, sardines, beautiful dish towels, wooden charcuterie boards, candles, chocolates, salamis and so much more. Today we received a tasting of gouda, blue and goat cheeses; yum! Free Gouda samples (nice sized chunks too), for opening day weekend. These owners are serious about their cheese, but not very friendly, at least from what I experienced. "I would like to sample one of these blues, please." "Nope, we don't have that one available for sampling." How would I be able to tell if I like it; I asked. Five different blue cheeses to choose from, what makes them different from one another, I asked. The male owner, in a condescending tone; "What exactly are you wanting to know? Do you want to know the intensity of the blue?" "Um, yeah; I guess." The owner responds, this one is soaked in a liquor (so, I'm thinking; ooh, I wanna try that one). I can't though, it's wrapped and it's not a cheese already out, for sampling. "What about the other blue cheeses, what are they like?" Right now, my voice is quavering; is it not okay to ask what the cheese tastes like? Now I'm reminiscing about Di Bruno Brothers cheese shop, in Little Italy Philadelphia, PA. They have an entire store of cheese and the personnel behind the massive counter, allows you to sample, till your hearts content, gushing about their cheeses and inquiring how you like the cheese. It's a full on cheesy experience. That experience was glorious, this was .. different. Though I must admit, the shop's layout, offerings, are all very tempting - to include those chocolate croissants, behind their glass case. According to one of the employees, some cheeses will be a constant fixture in this store, but as the seasons change, so will some of their other offerings. Sadly, not every cheese was available to sample, but co-workers will allow samples of whatever was ready that day. Do note that the cheese wrapped for sale, cannot be cut into smaller slices and re-wrapped, like some other cheese shops. Requesting a smaller portion, may not be done. I say this because, I may need only a specific amount for a recipe or to munch on, with one of your many crackers to choose among. Good cheese is expensive. I was also looking for some fresh baguettes, but the only bread available were in their freezer. Owners aside, Lititz Cheese Shop staff were helpful and friendly. Whatever you asked of them, they obliged and provided cheese knowledge.

No other customers came in the whole time we were there. We felt like we were not welcomed. The ambiance was not welcoming. We ordered a veggie pizza and a meatball sub. The meatballs were so small. I have never seen a meatball sub with such tiny meatballs. The meatballs barely came up to half of the sub, the rest was bread. The veggie pizza was just ok. The food was served hot. The place seemed clean and looked nice. We tried this place since we were on vacation in the area and wanted pizza. Sadly, it was not a good choice.

The place must be really good at pizza, because judging by the "side salad," they've clearly decided to put all their culinary effort into the dough. Calling it a salad is doing some serious heavy lifting. It was, quite literally, lettuce with a cup of Ken's dressing sitting beside it, as if the vegetables were still waiting for backup to arrive. No cheese. No croutons. Nothing but lettuce and dressing--the saddest little leafy situation imaginable. At this joint, you'll want to read the menu very closely, because apparently, words like "hot sub" don't necessarily imply the presence of something as wildly adventurous as cheese. It's best not to make assumptions about what comes with your sandwich. If the menu doesn't explicitly say cheese, lettuce, seasoning, flavor, or perhaps even basic enthusiasm, you'd better assume it's not making an appearance. So take your time, study every line, and resist the urge to apply common sense. Around there, ordering a "hot" sub apparently means the temperature--not necessarily the toppings. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and pleasant, they were happy to help. That said, if you're stopping in, maybe aim for the pizza. Cheers!
