It smells wonderful when you walk in, and the layout encourages you to check out every option they provide. You can taste most of the oils, and they have some pre-bottled options you can grab and go. I also really appreciate that they have gift boxes prepped, including some that provide a recipe you can use the oils to create! We can't wait to give our gifts, and now we have some new bbq sauce to try! The store has a direct supply relationship with a farm in Italy.

**July 2025: Weekday Afternoon Visit**…read more When you're America's Dairyland, it's an absolute must to feast on cheese! My friend and I were exploring the city of Wauwatosa and found this little artisan cheese shop and it was adorable! They have a lot of European products, but our cheese master was able to help us create a Best of Wisconsin charcuteria box for us. I really wished we didn't stuff ourselves with a very filling lunch otherwise we would have enjoyed our snacks there at their bar area. We decided to place our order and come back later in the afternoon to pick it up since we planned to walk around the city for a bit. We returned at 430pm to pick up our board and our cheesemaster was the absolute sweetest. She wrote everything down so we knew what cheese we were trying and it came with some nuts and other accoutrements. The service here is top notch and I happen to make a return visit to Wauwatosa I'll definitely want to try more!

Definitely recommend trying the raspberry balsamic you'll be blown away! Seriously could be used as a healthy alternative to drizzle on ice cream without compromising on sweetness or flavor.

I mean my husband and I are huge animal supporters and this lady was crazy. I just paid for my stuff and left but two days later I'm still thinking about it and feeling g hurt.

They have created a warm inviting space, that has cute dishes for serving your snackuterie treats and cheeses, cases of cheeses you love and have never heard of, and all the sides to go with it. They have a fabulous collection of dry goods like chips, crackers, honeys, ect to pair with your cheeses. They also have a cooler of beverages to pair along with your favorites. They had a great selection of local brands, and national, with so, so many options. The owner was on site and was incredibly knowledgeable, and gave me some great recommendations. The smoked cheddar, truffled goat cheese and creama kasa cheeses are new favorites in our house! I will absolutely be going back to this stellar place.

For as much as I love to curate a charcuterie board, I can't believe I've never been here before…read more That was remedied today. The loveliest people who work there were happy to help you with selections or if you have any questions. They will also give you a sample of cheese if you haven't yet tried a particular kind. They have a wide array of meats and cheeses and crackers as well. There are boards and almost any kind of items you would need. They also have boards to order, and a cheese of the month club. Highly recommend The Charcuterie House for all your charcuterie needs. Downtown Waukesha is where it's located. Love the vibe they have created! Warm and cozy.

I stopped in at Penzeys looking for saffron and left learning so much more than I expected. The…read moremoment you walk in, you're greeted by the smell of spices, and it's hard not to spend a little extra time browsing. They have such a great selection that it almost feels like a candy store for anyone who loves to cook. The two ladies working were incredibly helpful and took the time to explain the differences between the two saffron varieties they carried. They had a Spanish saffron and a newer Afghan saffron that the owner had recently brought into the store. They described the Spanish saffron as having a sweeter, more floral flavor with a lighter aroma, while the Afghan saffron was bolder, earthier, and much more aromatic. I was specifically looking for saffron to make tea as part of my overall wellness routine, and after talking through what I was hoping for, we decided the Afghan saffron was the better fit. I've been really enjoying it. You only need about four to seven strands steeped in hot water, and it slowly turns the tea into a beautiful golden yellow color. The flavor is subtle and smooth without being overwhelming, making it a relaxing drink to sip in the evening. What stood out most wasn't just the quality of the products, but the customer service. They genuinely took the time to answer my questions, share their own opinions, and help me choose what fit my needs instead of simply pointing to me toward a shelf. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their spices. If you've never been to Penzeys before, it's absolutely worth stopping in. Even if you only need one ingredient, you'll probably leave with a few new ideas and a little more knowledge than when you walked in.

I sometimes buy their gift boxes for family because I want them to love Penzys spices too! Prices are reasonable and the quality is impeccable. The potency lasts much longer than any store brand or the famous red-capped spice company. Additionally, Penzys has many whole spices which last even longer as I can grind up only what I need. They also sell jars for storing spices, cookbooks, etc. I've been to other locations, but the 74th St location is my closest shop. I can't even remember when they moved in but it's always been well maintained and well stocked. Herbs and spices up front, baking goodies in the back. I love the little kitchen nook that baking items are displayed on, reminds me of my grandmas kitchen. They are staffed by friendly and helpful employees who love cooking and baking as much as everyone else. Don't hesitate to ask questions or for suggestions. Penzys also has sales a couple of times per year. Sometimes it's free items with a specific purchase amount, sometimes a discount.

This coop (which I am not a member of) works really hard to provide vendors and products that are focused on locally grown, sustainable products, at a reasonable price. Been to this location several times and have always been impressed with the selection, quality, and service. On this trip, they were highlighting (and sampling) a new local cheese purveyor, located in Oak Creek (Alpinage). This is an example of Outposts interests in promoting people and products that they believe in, and have similar values. While I am not a regular shopping, I am always impressed.

My Pastor had the chicken parmagon, my wife got the stuff shells. Those meals were good, we also order some stuffed mushrooms and calamari, those appetizers were very good. My meal was just ok. I ordered the ribeye steak and it was very mediocre. It cut and tasted like a glorified sirloin steak. It had a tone of connective tendons on the meat, it was not seasoned. Maggiano's needs to consider a better quality of steak. If I had anything to compare it to it would be the ribeye steak at Carrabba's, which is a whole lot better. The garlic potatoes were stiff and cold, the grilled asparagus were pretty good the highlight of this meal was the desserts, our Pastor got the butter cake, I got the cheese cake and my wife got the tiramisu, all 3 were really good. Take the steak off the menu, it's a waste of time.

I enjoyed the baba ghanough, but the tabbouleh was kind of bad. It was raw herbs and no seasoning or lemon or salt or Bulgar or oil. It was like someone stopped mid-prep and just sent it. BF's Beef Shawarma plate was fine, but not spectacular or special, even taking into consideration delivery time and food degradation from that. Sadly this meal just made me feel indifferent, so I'll be moving on.

For our main meal, we decided to try four different pastas & they were all incredible in their own way. The fresh pasta was so well made & the flavors were mouthwatering.

The service was incredible & the love that fills the restaurant is so evident. We are all proud dog moms & each member of the staff came by our table to greet us with a loving photo of their dog/cat.
