Good cheese can give you a sense of Ewephoria. That’s a punny cheese, by the way, and they stock it at The Cheese Shop. In fact, they stock hundreds of cheeses from around the world. Need a little Gjetost? They’ve got it. Can’t decide between a Leerdammer and an Ossau Iraty Istara? They folks behind the counter can help you decide. That may be the best thing about The Cheese Shop: customer service. The staff offer you samples without waiting for you to ask, and they know their stuff, giving you straight answers – no evasive or misleading answers, no “it would be irresponsible of me to comment at this time.” Just great cheese and knowledgeable people.
