    Cheese, cheese and more cheese! One side of the place is alllllll the cheese. The other is the…read moregift shop. There are so many varieties of cheese available. Everything like traditional cheddar and swiss to more unique options like veggie, and buffalo wing. Most of the cheese had samples. It was a perfect way to get a sense of the differences between some of the varieties (standard vs smoked vs aged for example). Most cheese could be purchased in blocks, slices and cubes. They also had some beef stick options, dips and cheese fudge. I had never heard of cheese fudge before so was very intrigued. It had a different texture and flavor than traditional fudge but was definitely worth trying. They also have traditional fudge on the other side of the store. There were workers behind the counter actively packing cheese and willing to answer any questions you might have. Much like other tourist attractions, you have to walk through the gift shop to get to the cash registers. The line was kind of long, but it moved fairly quickly. This was a great stop with a lot of tasty products. Definitely recommend a visit!

    Stopping at Heini's is an Amish country tradition. What was always great about this place, was…read moretheir samples. You could try all the cheeses and take home your favorites! COVID guidelines took that away, but I'm happy to report the samples have returned Locally made from fresh ingredients, you will find some of the best tasting cheeses here. Plenty of other interesting items as well, like nuts, candies both new and classic and many other things for the eager tourist.

    I visited in July 2025 with some friends. We were visiting Ohio Amish country for the day and…read moredecided to stop by this store. My friends really wanted to visit the Guggisberg cheese factory but they were closed for the day. This store offers not only cheese but other smaller grocery and household items such as butter, apple butter, mugs, t-shirts, etc. I don't like cheese so I didn't buy any cheese. My friends may have bought small cheese blocks but I can't remember. They did sample some cheese which they liked. MY PURCHASES -- I bought an Italian bread dipping mix which is a small tin of herbs. I finally tried the dip in April 2026 by adding olive oil the dipping bread in it. The spice mix is too strong so I don't like it that much and I don't believe it was made locally. I also bought Apple butter which is locally made and tastes good. The Apple butter is too sweet for me though so I've hardly eaten it but it goes well with toast. If you're in the area, stop by this local store. The back of the store is cute because of a little fountain and a well-kept lawn. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 87/250 total reviews in 2026 - 928 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 19 May 2026

    Part deli, part gift shop, part factory. This cheese shop's…read moreclaim to fame is is that they are the creators of baby swiss. They are apparently now one of the largest manufacturers of swiss cheese in the US. When you enter, there is a shop which is a combination of gift shop, cheese accessories and grocery items. There is signage that shows off their awards, talks about some of their history and also takes about the difference between regular and baby swiss. The deli where you can get freshly sliced cheese is in the back. The clerks were extremely friendly answering questions and providing samples of anything you want to try. Much like the outside, the inside continues the swiss theme. The reason I gave it four instead of five stars is the space itself. It was really congested even though it wasn't really all that crowded. I can't imagine what it would be like on a busier day. J don't know what, if anything can be done about this that, but it definitely can be hard yo navigate if you have mobility issues or don't like crowds. Oh and the cheese hats are a fun nice touch.

Trying to find their eye glasses, attempting ask question to which the response amounted to yellow form, white form, menu below, you fill it out.

I have run businesses and delis, the forms make sense in a mad lunch rush, sure, but otherwise it's license for young employees to be brusque to rude. Management fail!

It reminded my husband and I of our childhood and going to 5 and Dime stores. The staff behind the counter were so nice, accommodating to those who did not know how the ordering was done. The tall lady and the one with a full brace on her leg (didn't skip a beat, mind you) and the gentleman making the food were so fast, had smiles on their faces, laughed and sang along to the music. You could see they were happy to be there and were having fun serving you some wonderful food. The young lady working the register was kind and sweet and you could see the young man slicing fresh meats and cheeses so you know for sure just how fresh everything is made. Far better than Subway or other Sub Shop we have ever been to. Will definitely be going back and making it a regular lunch stop when we are down town. Did I mention the prices? You can't beat them!
