| - Shut the front door. As a cheese lover, I am eternally indebted to Shirley B for turning me on to this place. Before I even finished my first meal, I was joking with staff about pitching a tent and moving into their front flowerbed. I am lucky this place is not closeby, or I'd be here constantly and weigh as much as one of their large 300 pound wheels of cheese!
Came in with my Yelp sidekick, Bethany E., 'cause she's the macaroni to my cheese. When I was running late, she stepped up to the plate and set up our charcuterie order with three prosciuttos (the spicy was best!) and three cheeses- the one described as a bleu-brie was our favorite, paired nicely with a honey drizzle! You could easily make a meal out of one of these platters, and I'm sure I will within a couple of weeks.
Because we were already smitten, and also our eyes are bigger than our stomachs, we also ordered two sandwiches to share. One was a daily special riffing on a classic caprese, with pesto and fresh mozz along with roasted peppers and prosciutto. It was fresh and juicy, and the bread they picked was great- chewy with a touch of doughiness, but sturdy enough to hold up! I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a menu staple before long.
But the highlight for us both was easily the TRUFFLE & HONEY GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH. Yes, that name deserves to be in all caps. It's a mind-blowing harmony of flavors. Brie, mozzarella, Savial truffle sauce, acacia honey, and white truffle sea salt- gooey, savory, salty, sweet, plus the punch of truffle. Ooh baby. And the best/worst part of it all is that you can buy all the ingredients in their shop area and make this bad boy at home any time you want! Insert the shocked emoji face here.
The shop itself is small but cute, the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive- we were given all sorts of tips, tricks, and info from the servers and owner, and that personal touch really pushes this business into the next level of awesome. I look forward to being a regular here- it goes without saying that this place is worth rearranging your schedule to find a time to pop in for their limited weekday hours!
