I love the name of this shop! The owners guessed the words to my secret mantra. I was happy to learn that a gourmet cheese store had recently arrived to this corner of Maine. Located around the corner from the main drag it's easy to find because of the eye catching chalkboard signs we saw on the sidewalk which point the way for you. There was an initial big disappointment here which turned out to be the first thing you are confronted with at the entrance and that is the metal spiral staircase that one must climb in order to enter. There is no other way in that I could see. Never mind how treacherous this could be on an icy winter day, the real tragedy here is that this means access is barred to those with certain disabilities, anyone in a wheelchair, a parent with a stroller, a frail elder and others that may have trouble navigating such a wretched means of entry. Once safely inside the space it's small but quite inviting and pleasantly decorated. The bounty is contained in one large glass-fronted refrigerated case and it's delightfully packed with cheeses from places near and far. The friendly man working there who I believe was the owner, told us to just let him know whatever it was we wanted to sample. Say no more! Already displayed were a few plates of already cut up cheese samples from which I took a number of nibbles. I love when shops do this although for hygiene sake I would have loved some toothpicks to spear the cheese rather than have everyone use fingers. I decided on the cutely named Ewephoria which is a sheep's milk cheese (get it?) from Holland. It's a hard cheese that was nutty and buttery. We loved it, so I'll be on the look out for it again. There were some artisinal salamis for sale as well that intrigued my husband. From trips to Tuscany where boar is king, he has become especially fond of this kind of meat. He bought some of the smoked boar sausage that he said was delicious. The shop also sells a small but decent selection of wines and some gourmet crackers. We wished they sold some fresh crusty baguettes which would have made this one stop shopping for the perfect picnic fare. There is nothing about what they are selling and how they are selling it inside the shop that I have any trouble with. It's great. What I hope is that the owners who have come up with a great idea for this town, will figure out a way to address the need for access to all. And from the owner's point of view, they should be thinking about all the customers who they are missing because they can't get in. I don't know how the appropriate changes can be done at this exact location unless there was a secret elevator or entrance I missed. But if not, there have got to be other available storefronts somewhere in Belfast in which to set up shop. Hello, calling Belfast realtors... This is dedicated to Michele R. whose reviews always take accessibility into consideration and from whom I've learned much about this issue. Her well articulated reviews have helped me to be more mindful about this kind of equality. read more

If I'm having a special night, a fancy night if you will, I'm heading to Eat More Cheese to pick up a bottle of wine and a delicious cheese to accompany with the guidance of the knowledgeable staff. But for real, try the 4 year old Gouda and peruse the beer/cider and wine at a reasonable price! read more

Absolutely above and beyond customer service. I cannot recommend this anymore. Excellent variety, high quality products, wonderful attention to the detail. I will absolutely be coming back! read more

"Eat More Cheese"... you don't have to tell me twice. Or even once, because I eat gross amounts of cheese already *insert photo of Charlie Day/me face-planting into a cheese plate*. I've been in this lovely shop a few times. Once, because my dad was craving their "Prairie Breeze" (kinda like sharp cheddar had a baby with parmesan), and another time to stock up on goodies to have a picnic on the harbor with my best friend. Both visits were dreamy. The shop is a little small but full of wine, cheese, fancy chocolates, housemade snacks, candies, chips, dips, charcuterie, and more - all of my favorite things, basically (sans lobster and steamers). I also love the artwork on the wall, including cheesy (literally) photos from a local photographer and previous owner. The employees are so sweet too! Things we've thoroughly enjoyed here: Prairie Breeze, Bûcheron (like chevre + brie), extra sharp aged cheddar, genoa salami with fennel, french baguette from a Belfast bakery, raspberry-rhubarb caramel, and Prosecco. Hell. Yes. read more

I'm psyched that Belfast finally has a cheese store! Eat More Cheese is tucked behind Main Street near one of the City of Belfast parking lots. I thought they had an excellent selection of cheese (unfortunately no local, as far as I could see) at a reasonable price. I liked that the two women working the counter were friendly and willing to give out samples. I ended up buying two types, which were a hit at my parents' house. I can't wait for the holidays to come back so I can stock up on appetizer cheese snacks! read more

A must-visit if you love cheese! They let you sample things and I LOVE this little nibblets you can buy for very cheap but you get plenty to taste new things. I wish I lived closer!!! read more

I was pleased to discover this cheese shop while taking a walk before dinner in Belfast. The shop is beautifully setup and we were able to sample quite a few selections. We even tasted a few that were not set up with samples (to help make up our minds which ones to buy). The woman working the counter (I think she's one of the owners) was very kind. We ended up leaving with 3 types of cheese and a wonderful salumi. Welcome to Belfast, Eat More Cheese! read more

Love Love Loved it! The pungent smell of cheese definitely punches you in the face when you walk in the door, and my BF was afraid he was gonna start gagging, but we got used to it after a minute or two. Had all kinds of cheese from around the world, and reasonably priced. Picked up a few 1/4 lbs and a some bread cheese for right around $30. Cute little shop tucked on Main Street, and visible as you enter into Belfast. Wish it was a tad bigger, you know so they have more room for cheese! read more

Fantastic concept and love the selection. Could use some chairs, tables, or something. Thumbs up.

Really cool place. If you like to have a nice cheese and wine meal you have to visit. They are a cheese shop with a nice selection of different cheeses olives and salamis All the staples for sitting on the porch at night with a great bottle of wine. NOT cheap but u get what you pay for. They will let you sample so no surprises when u get home. read more
