| - I have a good friend who spends $50 a week on cheese at the Danforth location of Alex Farm and after a visit of my own to the Beaches location, I can see how. Shit's expensive, yo.
I picked up a huge rind of Muenster ($7), light Havarti ($7) and some gold label Appenzeller ($9). If you want to win my heart via cheese, that last one's my absolute weakness. It is SO GOOD. Luckily it's hard as hell to cut with a knife, ensuring that I don't gorge myself on it.
I didn't appreciate the commentary from the guy working -- among the comments were that it was "a waste" to get Havarti AND Muenster (hey, I'll be the judge of that, mmkay?) and that I didn't need to go for Havarti Light (based on my appearance I'm assuming). Commentary not appreciated. Also, they don't give out samples the way Global, Cheese Magic and Leslieville Cheese Market do. No need to be snobbish and elitist, Alex Farm. To me sampling cheese is part of the discovery and adventure.
Convenient due to location, but price and lack of friendliness will send me back to Leslieville Cheese & Cheese Magic for future cheese emergencies.
