They dispense their own into empty bottles of different sizes and also have flavored olive oil in bottles along with a variety of vinegar. The entire shop is foodie heaven with the highest quality of meats, cheese, chocolate, and don't get me started on their charcuterie selection. Their adjacent restaurant will be opening soon, and we will be one of their first and repeat diners.

Came all the way to Cheesetique in Old Town expecting a cute Cherry Blossom pop-up moment...and…read moreyeah, I'm a little disappointed. I thought it was going to give pretty, spring aesthetic, photo ops, the whole vibe. Instead, it was super minimal, like one small sign acknowledging the season and a limited seasonal menu that didn't really hit. My friends and I tried both the seasonal and regular menu. I had the shrimp in garlic olive oil (delicious), lasagna, the one mocktail they offered, and the matcha cheesecake for dessert. Everything was good...just not WOW. Like solid, but not memorable. Our waiter Ian was cool, no complaints there. Service was smooth. The location in Old Town is nice, but there were a lot of people out walking their dogs, which just isn't my thing. I think I'm mostly sad because I came ready for cute pictures and there was no accent wall, no moment. And I was looking GOOD too .

This is such a cute stand. The vanilla custard gelato is made with goat milk, which is such a hard buy and the fridge was stocked with various meats such as kielbasa / sausages. There was fresh basil and (mostly fresh) veggies at reasonable prices. If you're lucky, you may spot some fresh eggs (go early). There are tea shirts and art made by locals when you enter.

The items I purchased were the goat milk fudge, honey chèvre, roasted chili chèvre, and Calvary camp ash (bloomy rind aged cheese). The goat cheese was delicious and so creamy; I wish I had purchased more. I was not impressed by the goat cheeses and found them to be quite bland.

There are a bunch of different cheese plates, but I tried the cheese monger which is basically dealer's choice. I can't remember all the wines we tried, but between both the reds and whites, no one at our table had a complaint. The inside is cute, but seating does fill up quickly on Saturday night. I noticed there were bar seats too, but would try to come when they open. The staff that helped us were helpful and really kind! Will definitely come again.

Brittney and John were so helpful in explaining all the items and where they were sourced. The music and indie decor made for a very peaceful and relaxing Sunday evening. We had a glass of Chardonnay which was smooth and crisp paired with a cheese plate adding Salami. The Cheese was distinct with many of their items coming from well known distributors. The cheese plate was paired well with pickled green beans, peanuts, jam, and bread. We hope to be back to try everything else on the menu.

You may feel tempted to thank him for accepting your money, but beneath the tough exterior he seems to have a good heart. The store offers a great variety of high-quality Eastern European products, including a strong selection of meats and dairy. Prices have gone up quite a bit recently, but that is probably unavoidable given inflation and the fact that the store is a bit farther from the main cluster of New York-area shops. Even so, it easily beats the other Eastern European shop on Nicholson Lane. Recommended.

The man behind the counter was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. They also carry a great selection of unique items imported from Italy--things you won't typically find at a regular grocery store. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more sandwiches, grab a coffee drink, and of course, more cannoli!

The meats and cheeses were all fantastic and the bread, I'll just say the whole thing was sublime. Of course I picked up a few other items, some pasta, amazing biscotti and a bag of Italian potato chips, paprika flavor. Thin, greaseless, rich potato flavor. Nothing I've had from all of the different American brands I have tried, and I am sure I have tried almost all of them, come close. Next visit, I will spend a lot more time perusing the exotic offerings of the properly monikered Cornucopia.

Whole Foods charged $12/lb and it was noticeably better. Same story with the short rib I got last month...almost half the price at Whole Foods and experienced better or the same quality. The funniest is the stock bones...$15 for a small pack. You'd need two to make any volume of stock, (so $30), and the same amount of bones would be $10 at the farmers market. I love supporting local places, especially high-quality butchers/groceries. I really do. But there comes a point when you have to ask if you're getting ripped off. With meats DOUBLE the price of another grocer that itself has a reputation for being expensive, it starts feeling like you're being taken advantage of. For what it's worth, the little old lady in front of me almost had a panic attack when they rang her up. I would've bought her groceries for her, but I suddenly realized that me buying a couple pounds of chuck roast and 10 marrow BONES to make stock with would already have me above $100. I saw another person put back cookies because after tax they were $7 each. Sorry, guys, but I'm out.
