    We visit Carmel every year, and every time we stop at the Cheese Shop. This place is amazing. It's cheese heaven. And the best part is the free sampling! They have so many different types of cheese, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable. On our most recent visit, the person helping us had to go on their meal break, so we got lucky as the owner, Kent, took over. He has so many great stories about the shop and some of its better known patrons, and of course he knows so much about the cheeses. We always end up buying more than we should, and are happier for it. They are also a bottle shop, and again have a great selection and extensive knowledge. Next step is to join their Cheese Club!

    Went in to buy some crackers to support the wines we were tasting in the plaza. Didn't buy any cheese but would totally come back if we were building a charcuterie board.

    Holy cheese !!!! The cheese shop has hundreds of cheeses to select from. Not going to lie, upon walking in I was overwhelmed and felt a bit crowded inside of this shop. I was unsure what to do and how to taste some cheeses before making any purchases, however, my husband has been here before and gave me a little run down of how things work. We stepped back and an employee that was very attentive knew that we had been waiting called us to the front counter. I told her my favorite types of cheeses and she made some recommendations and gave us samples of all the cheeses we asked about. If you are in need of some cheeses this is the place to go. Free cheese tasting before making any purchase? Yes, please. They also have wine tasting in the back for $17 for a flight that also included cheese on the side of your tasting. I didn't do the wine tasting but I'll certainly be back to do a wine tasting.
