| - This place is great! They have all sorts of cheeses in an amazing variety from fresh, soft, hard, old, smelly, soaked in port, even a select few raw-milk cheeses too.
They have a small selection of canned goods including beans, tomatoes, bottles of olive oil, olives, antipasto, some frozen fish and an array of crackers.
The only possible strike against them is that they are CASH ONLY. I have found this very discouraging in my nearly cash-less existence (both paper and electronic of which I have none). But I suppose on the other hand it prevents me from dropping $300 on cheese in one spree. And I guess this saves my life because I don't go home right away and polish off all that cheese in one sitting.
Thanks to changes in Ontario health-code rubbish, they can no longer have stacks and stacks of cheese sitting on the counter. Before it was amusing watching short people try and communicate with the staff because the wall-o-cheese was very tall. This has vastly reduced the number of samples they offer because the cheese isn't sitting on display waiting to be taste-tested.
The staff do know their product well and if you fancy something for a special purpose or occasion or specific dish or wine combination, they generally can help guide you to a fantastic selection.
