We love this cheese! We buy it at Meijer. Imagine our surprise when we were in the highway and saw signs advertising a store. We made a beeline there. We were not disappointed! A nice size store with friendly service. Tons of options with any price below retail. Great discounts off of assorted ends and miscuts. Deals on dips and don't forget the Cheese Bread! Clean and welcoming. Be sure to visit! read more

Quality cheeses. Ordered aged cheddar and aged Swiss. Very good. Bought the cheese bread because it looked so good baked. Once I sliced into the bread I was not very pleased. Chunks of cheese in the bread loaf with no seasoning, just not appealing to me. The cheese on it's own is good. Lots of tapenades, olives, crackers to compliment the cheese. read more

Williams Cheese Company - Cheese Bread - Cheese Shops Near Me - Linwood, Michigan

We decided to give this place a try as we love Pinconning cheese. They had free samples to try and of course we loved them all. We ended up purchasing some of these items of because we got to try them. This is a unique feature, which is also a great selling point. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. A bit small on the inside but they have a great selection. We will return to this place again. read more

Williams was our first visit to a cheese store in the Pinconning area. The interior is small, neat, and well arranged. There are just enough cheese and meat choices to entice without feeling overwhelmed. We chose the heaviest loaf of cheese bread, came home and had grilled toast with tomato soup the next week; a total taste sensation. We also bought two large chunks of cheddar pieces and jalapeño cheddar cheese. We use these items, as needed, with various dishes that calm for grated or melted cheese. They are really lasting a long time, taste wonderful and melt easily. The employees were attentive and helpful. This store has a cute cow outside, but that's the only "touristy" symbol. Of all the cheese shops, it would be my go-to for quality products, and in-and-out, no hassle experience. read more

We have not visited the store but the pinconning cheese spread is our family's all time favorite. I wish we lived near there.

Visited during COVID epidemic, and things have changed for sure. If I had to choose between Wilson's and Williams, I'd choose Wilson's for sheer variety, but WIlliams definitely brings more bang for your buck. They have the large trimming ends for super cheap. I saw no baked goods, and they were only packaging cheese, no cheesemaking through the windows. read more

The cheese bread is out of this world. I have fond memories of stopping here as a kid on family trips "up north." Now as an adult, when I find myself out that way, I always stop. I recommended that you do too. SO MANY CHEESES. You can sample most anything, and they make it all on location! Also, clean restrooms. Cheese is love. Love yourself. You work hard and you deserve it. read more

One of several family traditions when heading up north to deer camp or vacation is stopping in here to get a variety of things. My personal favorite is the horseradish cheddar spread on crackers. My cousin will typically get two different types of cheese curds and the cheese bread also, which is delicious. It's nice having a place that makes homemade cheese in Michigan and you can see what they are doing inside depending on when you go in. The people seem fine behind the counter. The product is what brings us back. I love seeing the old cow out front as well. I didn't get a chance to go this week for deer camp because we got up too late, but my cousin got up there and bought the cheese bread again and it was good as usual. They have spicy, dill, and other flavored curds as well as block cheese and spreadable options, plus assorted meats, crackers and pickled veggies for all you charcuterie fans. A fun stop up north. read more

Cheese lovers haven! You can even sample them. There's even chocolate cheese. If you go here, you definitely have to take home the cheese bread. It's unlike anything I've ever tried. The cheese is in the middle of the bread instead of on top like most, so, when you toast it, it melts. DELICIOUS. They make it there so it's always fresh. read more

Do you like cheese? We do and Williams is our chosen supplier.Many of the cheeses are made on site.It's fun to take small kids, and let them see it being made, and then taste the samples that are provided. The selection is unreal. Quality is unsurpassed. Pinconning cheese originated here. This is a Michigan favorite. While there, make sure you pick up several pounds of the Amish Made butter.It will take older folks back to their childhood. You can order from the internet as well.

Williams Cheese Company - the name of the company - Cheese Shops Near Me - Linwood, Michigan

I love Williams Cheese Company! I saw a billboard for them on the way up north and decided to stop on a whim and I'm glad I did. The small shop is wall-to-wall cheese - cheese slices, blocks, dips, etc - with lots of samples to go around to help you decide with one to go with. We got some spicy beer cheese dip, gingerbread dip, pepper jack cheese, and some roasted garlic cheese. All have been amazing. The service was top notch too, at the register. Best in town. read more

The worst tasting cheese spread ever. #williamscheese#pimento. Why is there corn syrup in your cheese spread? Corn syrup is mentioned two times in your ingredients list!! Wasted my money on this stuff!! read more

This place rocks!! Its packed with cheese, cheese, and more cheese at what I thought were really low prices. There are lots of samples around the store. There is a small selection of some specialty grocery items as well. We got some cheese spreads and a bag of cheese curds. They are limited to the certain types of cheese made by their company (like colby jack? I don't remember what else) So you can't get a huge variety here. Still a great local place! read more

Great store! You can sample most anything & they will even open items for you to sample if youd like. You can watch cheese being made on site. We buy a lot if cheese at the big bulk stores and freeze it because the prices are cheaper, but Williams even best those prices. Very impressed! read more

Wow! Super good prices on cheese! Man, it was all so good I could barely decide what to buy. I, of course, spent to much money. I stood and watched the workers for a bit. The lady at the cash register was very friendly and we shared a few laughs. I will be coming here from now on to purchase any and all my cheese! I bought my daughter some string cheese they were two for five. I found some tiny rye breads that my mom always use to eat and some horseradish cheese spread.awesome place! read more

Favorite stop to get cheese, so much cheaper than getting it at the local grocery store and they always have different sales. This stop got us cheese sticks on bogo. Staff is nice, but they are always busy so with the shop being small you can feel crowded.... read more

This place is great, it is always neat and clean. the cheese is always made fresh, and you can watch them make it. Be sure to buy some extra sharp cheddar and a few pounds of that Amish roll butter. One thing i don't like about this place is that they don't have a drinking fountain. Wilson's cheese Shoppe just up the road has one. Anyway, this is still a great cheese shop. you must stop if you drive by. read more

I am too old to say my age but my husband and I crave Pinconning Cheese Mild. Loved it all my life. Retired to Florida and cannot get anything to compare. So I order it or sneak it on board when we go back for a visit. Tried the Traverse City Cherry this time. I like a toasted cheese on Raisin bread. Side of Bread and Butter pickles to go with it. Just our thing. But the cheese here is like no other anywhere. Love the friendly service too. But then again , they are Michigan people who are the BEST. Judi k. Odessa Florida read more

If you really like cheese this is the place! The six year old extra sharp cheddar and their bleu is as good as it gets.

I grew up in Michigan, but moved to California as an adult and I still bring some of Williams' cheese back with me when I visit the area. There is simply nothing elsewhere to compare with their Extra Sharp Pinconning cheese. I was excited to learn that I could order on-line and no longer have to wait for a trip to visit family in Michigan. read more

I live in Columbia SC and our Publix store had Williams sharp creamy cheddar on sale so I thought it would be a good time to try it and it was very very good. I found a little red spot on the cheese and took it back to the store because I just wanted to make sure the cheese was safe. Long story short....I got a PERSONAL call from the Williams Cheese Company about my concerns and was very very impressed with the superior customer service. Folks, this is the kind of service that seems to have died with my and my grandparents culture. The business of old where people cared about their products and wanted to make things right. I was not trying to get anything, I simply wanted to make them aware of this red spot to be sure it was harmlesss but they went above and beyond the personal phone call and offered me a complimentary gift of cheese to be sent to my home. There is something to be said about a family owned business. They contacted me the next day after I returned the cheese!!! That is fast!!! I was treated with respect and my concern was not blown off but they did tell me it probably was coloring or pimento which is what my suspicions were as well. I will be bypassing Sargento , Kraft, and the others . Williams cheese sold me on the taste alone but now it is personal and they deserve high praise and recognition. GO WILLIAMS CHEESE COMPANY. A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER IN COLUMBIA , SC MERRY CHRISTMAS read more
