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.

This is the real deal. Friendly service too! My only suggestion would be to add a kid-friendly pizza. Something much smaller in cheese so 3/4 of it won't end up in a to-go box would be nice. However, I understand if a restaurant has no intention of catering to kids and don't expect everyone to do so. I just know we would be more frequent visitors if options were available.

It was a warm, bustling little place, with lots of friendly folks on staff and plenty to choose from! The white chocolate cookies are great, the donuts are awesome (my favorite was the maple bacon, so far), and the stacks on stacks of pre-packaged treats promise something for everyone. I adore the puppy chow, and my partner can't get enough of their cake pops. They even have dog treats for your furry friends! I've been here three more times since, and plan to return whenever I can.

My hands down favorite is the cinnamon butter, but don't let that limit you. I'm about to devour this chocolate covered pretzel from there tonight... and enjoy some garlic butter in the morning. Stop by and check them out if you're in the area.

They have more than 10 varieties of apples, which you can sample before you buy. Very thoughtful. I do wish you could buy smaller quantities, like 1 or 5 of a type. They were giving a free bag of apples to Veterans on Veterans Day, which was very nice. They also sell cups of hot apple cider, which was wonderful. We bought some strawberry rhubarb cream cheese that we thought had a bit too much sugar bc it was more like frosting, but it was wonderful frosting! Cute gift shop, kitchen tools, cheese, meat sticks, wood work. Just a great place. Will make it a stop on our trips to visit mom. Open year round at 8am.

I usually brush it off, but the last time I was in there, there was a line of about 6 people the cashier was being pleasant to everyone up until the next customer who was a Latino woman asked if they had strawberry ice cream, the cashier responded in a very ugly and snarky attitude pointing to a sign that says "no sherbet" but he says out loud "I'm clearly we are out of sherbet" when she want even asking for sherbet..... this was the last straw for me I just turned and walked right out. Seemed pretty racist and the cashier really embarrassed this lady.

The service was good and all of that. The food was also fine. The waffle with berries and lemon looked amazing. The flavors were good, though I felt that the waffle itself needed to be a bit more substantial. Then we had a veggie burger which it's awesome that they do a custom burger pattie and not just one of those standard plant-bases fake meats. It was decent. I would have preferred fries instead of chips, but that wasn't an option. Oh, the latte was pretty good. You get a pretty huge cup for $5. Maybe next time I'll have to check out the evening vibe. Good stop before hitting the road.

The road…read moreconstruction did not stop me from turning around and going back to 2109 Ward Avenue to satisfy my curiosity. Having never heard of Pleasoning Gourmet Seasoning, I was determined to see what it was all about. Having made the right decision, I am now hooked on Pleasoning Gourmet Seasoning. Just this morning, I had the All-Purpose seasoning on scrambled eggs. Yummy! Walking into the store, I was pleasantly overcome with a blend of fresh herbs and spices, thus, proving that this is the place where it all happens. This is exactly what I was hoping for. Not sure whether it was Kathy or Jaime who waited on us, I was surprised to learn that there are only three employees, and they are second and third generations of the founder. Our hostess took plenty of time to share the story of Pleasoning Gourmet Seasoning, which made the visit fun and informative. We use Steak and Game on every steak or burger we grill, not only because it is tasty, but because we don't need to add any salt. If I can not make it back to the store, I will order online or pick up what I need at a local store. I just ordered a gift pack for my daughter's birthday, and I am excited for her to get it.

I probably need to stop gatekeeping this portion of my recipe!
