We loved this place, if I could have been able to buy all the cheese I would have done it for sure…read more So many delicious cheese flavors and styles plus other goodies you might need if you want to create your own cheese/Charcuterie board. Also, they have a curated variety of imported and US-made food products. And house tools for cheese lovers (even kits to make cheese). Everyone here is very friendly, and knowledgeable about cheese, and you can tell they care about their clients and community. It is a very cute place, a paradise for cheese lovers like me. Everything is very well organized, and well taking care of and clean. They also have wines, ciders and beers to go there.

I decided to check out their offerings, since I was in the area…read more I never actually made it here when the cheese lady was here and they were open. Never had such luck until now. Glad I ended up going to brunch nearby. Wanted to check out their Gouda and their goat milk offerings. Could use some yummy goat milk cheese after all, right? Decided to try several of their different goat cheese Goudas. I learned that I prefer their harder cheeses, not fond of the soft cheese unless it's in a salad or something. I tried their midnight moon, ballerina, smoke, Beemster and honeybee. I ended up purchasing two 1/4 of each of the harder cheeses (Midnight moon, Beemster and Honey Bee) $46.86. The ballerina and smoked is a softer cheese and doesn't have as much flavor as the midnight moon. The midnight moon has the most defined flavor out of all that I tried today. More expensive than I would have liked, but fantastic that you can try many of them. The female staffer was more knowledgeable about the cheeses than the younger male staffer, he was nice to work with. She was just as nice.

A deli/high end specialty grocery store, with high end cheese/wine/beer... Prepared food to go and an attached dining area under the name 'Rind.' Staff was great, prices were high but not extreme, the to-go food was actually pretty reasonable.

Who doesn't like cheese?…read more I got a 1/4 wedge of the midnight moon (aged and slightly harder) and the smoked Gouda and a ginger beer. $20.71 Midnight goat cheese has become one of my favorites this year. The smoked Gouda is softer, nice distinctly Smokey flavoring to it.

Quaint family owned shop in Brighton. It's a wonderful time…read morefor the whole family, young and old. I personally enjoy their many cheese options and the unique flavours of ice cream. I also appreciate their allowing me to sample something questionable. Kinda selly in the long run because I'm going to like it and buy it, anyway. It's more than that. In the handful of times we've been here, they seem to know us the second we walk in. They usually can recall where the conversation left off....usually 6 months later! I'm not a crepe guy but the other three in our party are. The compliments range from incredible to awesome. I'm more the beer guy and the good news is this place is craft beer capital. A myriad of selections! This shop alone is a compelling argument to move to Brighton, Mi. Maybe one day! 11/24

FULL DISCLOSURE: I stole a loaf of bread from this store. It's true, folks, no lie…read more I was around 7 or 8 years old when the family went to Cheese Haven to buy some things for the picnic we had planned later that afternoon. I was told to hold onto a loaf of French bread as they looked around. As it were, I quickly got separated from my mother and father and so with bread in hand, I walked out the door looking for them. I found my father outside having a smoke, and when he saw that loaf of bread, well, he wasn't very happy about it, but then again, he didn't make me take it back in either. So, many decades later: * The statute of limitations has passed. * I've made peace with my guilty conscience. * I stopped in again, a few weeks ago What I found was the same fun, kitschy, touristy place that it used to be. It's full of some things you need and some things you'll just want. They've got an impressive deli with all kinds of smoked meats and cheeses. Of course, all that needs to be washed down with some of their eclectic selection of sodas. Looking for something more adult? They have a huge selection of local Ohio beers and wines. If you're into the sweet and salty, there's plenty of candy and snacks. If you like spice, you'll find a surprisingly good selection of hot sauces too. Their prices are tourist haunt reasonable, so the cash register tally shouldn't be much of a surprise. Cheese Haven is a solid locally owned business that promotes Ohio based products with some good local stuff from all over the area. It'll delight and excite the younger ones and give some nostalgic feelings to the older ones. In any case, it's a lot of fun and a delicious stop while you're in the area. For me? Easily, 5 stars.

Cheese Haven in Port Clinton, Ohio, is a well-known stop for a vast selection of cheeses, including…read moreaged, smoked, and blended varieties, along with deli items, smoked fish, and wine. We have been visiting for 60 years, and find this shop to be delightful; the nearby retail area has greatly developed. The title of "Walleye Capital of the World" is primarily claimed by two major locations: Lake of the Woods in Baudette, Minnesota, and Lake Erie in Port Clinton, Ohio. Port Clinton offers neat holiday experiences and the smoked cheese from Cheese Haven is a family tradition. Caveat: traffic may be heavy in this area; avoid u-turns.

I was hoping that the scent of the store would subside by now since they are under new management,…read morebut it hasn't happened yet. I'm still hopeful though. They do carry vegan and gluten free options which is a plus. There is a small fridge where a small business sells freshly baked goods that are vegan and gluten free with clean ingredients. They are pricey but you are what you eat so you do the math I'd say it's worth it. They also have the best chicken fried chicken and you can place your order and schedule pick up!

Their selection is second to none in the area. Every step of the way the staff will make sure you get the right products. Don't forget to the wine shop in the back, they will get you the proper wine to go with all that amazing cheese.

This is a cute place. I stopped in looking for vegan cheese. We were greeted immediately upon…read moreentering the small store. They didn't carry vegan cheese on a regular basis but did share they have it periodically. So this was the main item that I stopped in for and was unable to purchase. The store is really quaint and cute. They had several jams/jellies, crackers, olive oils, balsamic vinegars and candies. They had some pre-made charcuterie boxes available for purchase. The store made fresh grill cheeses and offered a daily soup which all smelled amazing.

I am a big Swiss fan so I asked if they had any - I ended up buying a small piece of one, which ended up being tasty, and also an aged cheddar they had, called Prairie Farms - they had a sample of it and it was DELICIOUS, which swayed me to try it. They also sell tiny little charcuterie boxes here and even big things of gelato. Everything looked really good. Staff is also very friendly - the girl behind the counter is a recent UM grad so we talked about that, I'm a 2009 alum. $6-7 for a small block of cheese is pretty standard for gourmet cheeses too, so I didn't think it was super pricey (although they did have some for $15+). I definitely want to stop by here again the next time I'm in A2.

After a disappointing lunch in Ypsi, we turned to Yelp for something sweet…read more How 'bout Gelato? Head to Zingerman's Creamery! Quickly. This is an excellent stop for all things dairy. Mostly, cheese for me. Today I picked up: six ounces of a very creamy Goat cream cheese, a smoked salmon cream cheese and a Goat feta. Since we had a cooler, I also bought a half pound of Detroit Street Brick cheese. It begins as a dense, crumbly cheese with a twist of lemon and ages into more of a savory, spicy flavour. The star of the show is the gelato. I say the best is the Coffee flavour. Closely followed by the Peanut Butter chocolate and the Dark chocolate. Today we split a Cherry Cream Cheese Gelato. It really hit the spot. The prices are a bit steep. You're paying for quality, not quantity. Always an education talking cheese with these folks! 08/24
