This was going to be our "appetizer" but we were the last customer of their day and I guess my flirting was successful because we ended up with a charcuterie board that was enough for a full meal for two! Three great cheeses, dried and fresh fruit, pickled brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes, salted nuts, prosciutto and toasty bread. With a glass of white wine each, this was so wonderfully excellent. The cheeses were delicious and the sliced ham was just the right salty and it was absolutely amazing. Sitting in the food hall basically alone, this was just perfect. Thanks, Sweet Freedom!

Great place to have lunch at! Ample selections for cheeses, jam, and associated condiments. Not very busy but the cooking time could be improved, considering all the companies are asking employees back to the office more or fully? read more

After grabbing my Gelati from the Happy Wagon I ventured across the room to Sweet Freedom Cheese. They have coolers of meats and cheese and make various sized trays for any of your party needs. The person helping me recommended the pizza grilled cheese however I don't care much for pizza so I went for the ham and cheese. The ham was salty but otherwise the sandwich was toasted perfectly and tasted like comfort. I would definitely recommend if you are into that kind of stuff. My son would have loved eve pizza one. read more

So glad we discovered Sweet Freedom! Perfect place to grab a snack to go- we chose the Danish Grilled Cheese, they have a big selection of grilled cheeses to choose from, and it was delicious- ooey gooey with a touch of sweetness. The place is small and cramped and it was busy so that can get uncomfortable, but the staff members were all super nice and helpful and clearly very excited to share their cheese knowledge. Perfect place to get stocking stuffers, from unique brands of chips to mustards, jams, and of course most any kind of cheese you'd ever wonder about. Wish they'd had some local hot sauces though. read more

This is such a fun store! They had a good selection of cheeses from all over the world and the lady was incredibly helpful. We really loved all of the cheeses that we got. However, the space felt really weird. They had several sections of crackers, but when I got to looking, it was the exact same crackers. They also had a whole deli section, which we didn't know until after we had checked out. None of this is an issue with the business, I just think it's a case of having to fill a weirdly laid out space. Overall, I would totally visit here again! read more

I love cheese! If you're like me and you love cheese, come to this shop. Located inside of the south side of the 8th street market, you'll find this gem. Cheese is cut to order. Stay and enjoy a cheese board and a glass of wine or take cheese to go. They also offer baked Brie, one of my all time favorites. Service is friendly and welcoming. Ask for suggestions or try some before you buy. They also offer some small cheese related items for purchase. Only downfall is the parking. With 8th street market growing so quickly, parking can be hard to come by. read more

Sweet freedom cheese is incredible from the food to the staff, 10/10. The sandwich we had (ham, butterkase, and pineapple pepper jam) was the best sandwich I've ever had. Staff was so kind and helpful as well! Can't recommend them enough! read more

I'm new to the area. Learning the local cuisine by trying a new place each week. Went to 8th street to browse and stumbled upon Sweet Freedom Cheese. Thought they were only a market when I saw their grilled cheese sandwich menu! I could NOT decide among the mouth-watering options, so asked the friendly person at the counter for her recommendations. She asked me a few questions about my taste preferences and then suggested I might like either the French Pig or the Bonfire. I could NOT decide between the two - so got both! Figured I'd have leftovers for dinner and lunch tomorrow. While I waited, I drooled over their cheese selection showcased in the glass enclosure, and learned they also do charcuterie trays with 24 hour notice! Perfect for movie night at home! Upon my return to my office, my colleague gasped at how delicious the sandwiches looked and smelled. So I shared. LOVED THEM BOTH! Buttery but crunchy bread with savory gooey melted cheeses, the jams were perfect counterbalance to the salty hams. But the cheese were clearly the stars in both sandwiches - rightly so! We (colleague - also new to the area) and I decided we would explore local eateries together once a week. Top of our list is Sweet Freedom Cheese. After all, we must make our way through their entire menu! Sorry - no pics. Sandwiches were inhaled (ahem - I mean eaten) before I thought about taking photos. read more

Cheese is it's own food group in my opinion. I love cheese! This cheese market is an open counter setup inside the 8th St Market. Long cases of a variety of cheeses, some meats and a small store section with items like cheese boards and fondue pots and wines. They also have a small sitting area for a wine bar where you can order cheese plates, baked Brie or grilled cheese! I will be back for that. I was super impressed with Jessica. She was so helpful in her descriptive explanations about the different cheese flavors and textures. She also let us sample anything we wanted to try and based on our feedback, knew exactly what cheese to offer next. A cheese expert for sure! I settled on a double Gloucester and a Mona Lisa aged Gouda. If you like sharp cheddar, try the 6 year aged one. Wowza! They had a few fresh breads but would be nice to offer a good variety of crackers to buy too. read more

Oh, what a glorious place! A vast selection of cheeses, many of which I have only read about before, all curated by a kind, patient cheesemonger. I visited with my mother-in-law and we tried many cheeses as we assembled an epic cheese tray along with some freshly sliced Italian meats and sides (get the dried pears and bacon jam!). Plus, they had several cheeses that require no refrigeration, so I toted two blocks of cheese back to Arizona! This place will be a must-visit for me whenever I return to Bentonville. read more

This cheese-lovers paradise is truly a jewel for NW Arkansas. They have all things cheese, from bandaged cheddar to Alpkäse or Wisconsin grilling cheese... the kind of product you only get as a gift after someone comes back from a trip to Europe, if you've behaved well. The staff is not just remarkably nice and knowledgeable, they are helpful and passionate about cheese, and will provide all the time and all the samples that it takes to ensure you're getting the best fit for what you need. The quality and price are comparable to what a Wholefoods store would be if the store was set in Paris and didn't need to make a margin. The only way of getting better cheese in the States would be to produce your own artisanal cheese. If that's your thing and you want to make cheese at home, they have all the equipment you need, cheaper than online, plus will share tips and point you in the right direction. They hold cheesemaking classes seasonally. If you're into cooking and dining, they have all you need from cheese to cured meats, veggies, spreads, crisps, crackers and all accoutrements, wine and cooking equipment from fondues to girolles or raclettes, rounded up with cooking classes and tasting events offered regularly. They also sell ready-to-go charcuterie plates if you're too busy to set your own. They have the kind of non-homogenized milk that leaves your kids with a milky moustache. Fair warning though, regular store-bought milk will taste like water afterwards. For a quick bite, their sandwiches and platters are exceptional. When my kids come to help with the groceries, I know their grilled cheese will be part of my order, not open to debate. You might have noticed their catering wagon driving around town. I wouldn't hesitate to pick them for any event. A couple of months back I attended an executive meeting and noticed the catering was of exceptional quality, then I saw their logo in the napkins. This is the kind of place that makes America great and Arkansas proud, that restores your faith in your fellow human beings. My only regret is not having discovered it earlier. read more

What an absolutely delightful store. The cheese varieties are gourmet bites of Heaven. We got a sampler and fell in love with this place. We drive from Fayetteville to shop with them. read more

We attended their 1st Raclette evening and it was pretty awesome. Per usual, husband and I arrived very early and were warmly greeted by the ladies behind the counter who encouraged us to walk the market while they finished prepping for the Raclette evening. (more on that another time) We returned and found a table in the small (seats 18) dining area. Ordered beverages and enjoyed the quaintness of the shop. They had planned a 5pm serving but the Raclette was taking longer to heat through. The staff was checking on us politely during the wait. Around 5:30 they began serving and it was really delicious. A heaping scrape of raclette served over small (perfectly cooked) potatoes, 2 hearty chunks of sourdough and several cornichans with 1 pearl onion. The presentation was very nice, however, I would enjoy a bit more cheese and fewer cornichans. (they were good but they are not my favorite). I did bring my dislike of serving raclette on paper plates to the attention of the cheese monger and she was very open and receptive to my comments. In fact, she tried modifying how the raclette was served (by adding what I think was parchment paper) to the next few orders. A very nice woman and I was thrilled that she was so agreeable to my comments. Only other (small) issue was plastic utensils, while the plate was 'soft' enough for their use, one of my tines on my plastic fork broke while piercing a potatoe. Overall a very nice experience and I would encourage cheese lovers to check this place out. It appears they are planning lots of interesting specials, i.e. fondue nights, more raclette nights, etc. Their menu was small but the portions we received were plentiful. Additionally their beer and wine menu options were varied and appropriately priced. We look forward to returning. read more

Luke, who I will refer to as "cheese master", was extremely knowledgeable. He was patient and helpful as I tasted and picked out cheese that I wanted. Cheese master was helpful and knew his cheese facts. He knew tastes and flavors and was helpful in pointing me in a direction of knowing which cheese I really wanted. read more
