A wide variety of very good cheese. Price is ok, although imported cheeses can be expensive. Also a friendly work crew.I did wish they could go back to giving tastes so I could experiment more with different cheeses
Whenever people from out of town visit me in Farmington I take them here! I love going in and trying the samples -- the employees are really helpful and totally patient and dont get offended if youre looking for something different. My favorite experience was going in and saying I was looking for 2-3 cheeses for 2-3 people to pair with a red wine and they got me set up perfectly with a diverse spread... including a chocolate cheese which I think everyone needs to try. I also love their dry goods section which has a great cherry scone mix.Im so grateful this little shop is in Farmington! :)
Absolutely love the cheese lady shops! Everyone Ive been to offers friendly, knowledgeable and tasty information. So many quality cheeses to choose from. Not your grocery store choices.
Very nice staff and always very clean and well organized, the food is one of a kind and is always ready for peoples needs
This place is amazing! Everything you could ever want for charcuterie, and a vast selection of cheese. What a fun experience!
Awesome choices of cheese. They always have samples and I can always find something to accompany what Im serving.
Came in asking for a cheese to go with a soft pretzel and was recommended “Red Dragon.” It was a perfect pairing and my only regret is not purchasing a larger piece.
This place is such a gem! There is an amazing cheese selection, including some hard-to-find varieties. There are a lot of local jams, honey, sauces, and other accompaniments. The quality is fantastic. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I will definitely keep coming back here.
Specialty gourmet cheeses from around the world! It will be nice when COVID-19 is no longer an issue and they will allow tasting again.
Extremely helpful staff. Amazing selection of cheeses!
Highly recommend this place. Very helpful Staff & knowledgeable about their products. I send my parents a gift package every Mothers/Fathers Day and they just rave about it every year. So many different cheeses and crackers to choose from. Go give them a try. They wont disappoint.
Always helpful and knowledgeable about aged cheese, cheese for lactose allergy people and suggestions on best pairings.
Such a great shop. Local owners who really know their cheeses and make great suggestions.
A unique gift store with different unique cheeses from around the world.
Love....Love The Cheese Lady!Family owned! Great selection of cheese,wine local brew beers! Great for friendly back yard get togethers!
I absolutely love this place-from the expansive variety of cheeses available, great recommendations they offer in-store as well as their excellent customer service. I placed an order today where I was accidentally given the wrong cheese (which I did not notice until I got home due to the curdside pickup during the pandemic). When I called to inquire about my options, Joe immediately offered to rectify the situation by dropping off the corrected items to my home on his own time. This unsurpassed level of customer service is very hard to come by, and I sincerely appreciate Joe going above and beyond to make things right. I will continue to recommend The Cheese Lady to all of my friends and family, as well as remain a loyal customer myself. Thank you to Joe and the other Farmington staff for being so wonderful
Great downtown shop. They know their stuff and are more than happy to give samples and suggestions. Wednesday grilled cheese sandwiches are always so good. They do mac and cheese on Friday but Ive never made it there to try some....yet. I know its called the cheese lady but chef Kyle is my favorite. I believe he is the genius behind the grilled cheese sandwich combinations. Sometimes I worry because they sound a little odd but trust...they are the best. The shop also offers a variety of other fun items that are nice for a treat or gift.
Very nice place. Friendly staffBig selection.
Im having a havarti time finding words to explain how Gouda the cheese is here and how kind and caring the staff is. You always feel like the cream of the crop. If youre Stilton not convinced, Muenster up the energy to go! You cheddar believe Ill be back.
Cheese heaven for cheese lovers. Over a hundred cheeses to choose from. Kyle is friendly, super knowledgeable and eloquent in his descriptions of all the cheeses so he can narrow down your tastes & choices a bit. The staff will let you taste some of your choices so to be sure walk out with what you love. There are also fine beer & wine choices as well as fancier crackers, jams & cookie choices. I love this place.
Going here multiple times, I can say every experience has been very pleasant. Giving off an vintage feel with well polished wood and most stock laid in the open. The staff is very helpful and always willing to give a free sample of their very expansive library of both dairy and vegan cheeses.Prices arent hiked up at a premium at all, anything youd get off the supermarket casually, youd be able to get here. Often at a fairer prices due to their constant sales.Their selection outside cheese is very wide as well, tools, spices, sauces, ornaments, anything to make your guests feel more whole.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Theyll explain their cheeses in detail and allow taste tests! If you want to know what cheese would be best for a specific dish, this is the place to go.
I drive over 20 miles. Hows that for a review. They know cheese and you always feel welcomed. Worth the trip. Try the prairie breeze, awesome!
Love the cheese ladys shop. Delicious cheeses and other delights. I make it a point to go often. Can sample any cheese and staffs very friendly and knowledgeable. Register for one of the cheese n wine pairings...
Great selection of sheep and goat cheeses! All the cheese is always so so fresh tasting.
So many options! I needed a specific rare cheese for a recipe, and they had it!! Also got to taste a bunch of other special cheeses and buy some unique options for my party. Bacon Jack, Rosemary Asiago, Hatch Chili Gouda... they workers are knowledgeable and super friendly. There are probably 100 cheese to pick from, plus lots of other tools, crackers, olives, etc to complment your cheese platter.
Lots of interesting local made items. Nice beer selection. Knowledgeable, friendly service. Of course, lots of cheeses. You can try before you buy!
You must treat yourself to this cheese boutique. Husband and wife team treat you like family and have a quaint yet well appointed store. Cheeses are exceptional and locally made artisan offerings of crafts add to the sumptuous storefront.
This place was amazing and if you love cheese this is the place to go! The staff WOW absolutely amazing also!
Love their smoked cheese selection! Great customer service, very helpful, and very friendly.If youre a fan of cheese, this is a great place. Lots of options that will ensure you leave with some great stuff!
If you love cheese, you have to experience The Cheese Lady shop! Kyle is my favorite store employee! He is knowleadable about the variety of cheese that they carry, and he can tell you about the region that it comes from, along with what you will taste when you sample the cheese. There are numerous other products like crackers, drinking vinegars and slicing utensils, so its a fun place to shop.
I have never had any issues at this place. I was surprised to see less than 5 stars on any review. I have been a Farmington resident for a while and this place is a great addition. The staff (including the owner) are all very patient and want to make you happy. They also make sure that they customize your purchase for your needs.You can sample various cheeses to make sure it is something you want. Try this place, you will be happy that you did!!
This is a great place. Very familiar and very much like the Muskegon store in how great the .. well.. everything is! They carry gluten free, corn free noodles made in Michigan, and the cheeses, so many options and so fresh. Cant wait to visit again! Very close to Farmington Saturday Farmers Market, and Painting with Twist. Very clean.
The best selection of cheese and the nicest staff around,I’ll definitely be going there more often.
Very knowledgeable and a warm and inviting environment for cheese mongers old and new! My favorite place to visit on vacation!
The staff is very friendly and helpful and the cheese is delicious. My two-year-old was able to sample about half a dozen different cheeses and she was in heaven.
Top notch service! Will answer any questions you have. The cheese is amazing!
Nice staff!
Fantastic selection. Friendly and helpful staff. Can’t recommend this place enough to anyone who really loves cheese!
Awesome place. Must try out
Dropped by to get a different appetizer for a friends for wine and cheese. Totally helped with wine pairings and buying the right amount, not suggesting amounts that were too large and would not be used...cut up the cheese and added cards for i.d. - will definitely go back!
I have no idea why there are so many reviews citing this place as friendly and helpful..stopped along to check out the wares, no greeting upon entry despite 4 staff members actively working in the front end. Despite looking around totally lost for 10 minutes staff never offered help on top of not greeting us. Staff looked right into our faces and didnt say one word. One staff member walked past me within inches and didnt say one word. We were totally ignored and treated poorly. Resulting in us feeling uncomfortable..I noticed other customers being actively engaged with staff. Although Im typically not the type to cite racism but definitely feel my experience was based off of myself being a person of color. Would not return ever. Nothing really worth purchasing at those prices also.
If you are a vegetarian, you will appreciate the wide variety of cheeses and all the little enhancers like crackers, flavored nuts, chutneys, and pickled anything (cornichons, anyone?!).As a vegan, I never saw myself setting foot in a cheese store. Seeing as the one in Farmington, MI is right next to a vegan restaurant, I humored my non-vegan friend and explored. Much to my surprise, there are also non-dairy based cheeses available, and a much rarer variety than your general grocer.So, while I cant condone the dairy based cheeses, if you do, please enjoy them. You will get great selection and wonderful advice what to pair them with. And if you are a vegan, please get past the things that keep this store alive, and try the wonderful vegan cheeses and pickles. Its worth it, and we all get along just fine.Dear Cheese Lady, well done, and thank you!
Excellent cheese varieties, excellent staff. Love their cheese tasting and friendly knowledgeable service
Outstanding! Exceptional service and extremely helpful. She helped put together a charcuterie for my bridal shower that turned out perfectly. Extremely knowledgeable and great quality products.
Love this place. Amazing cheese collection. Knowledgeable staff. Love the soups too.
Great Place for cheese and things. Many to choose from and the staff is very helpful and friendly.
Great people, great service and cheese you wont find anywhere else. Worth the trip to enjoy this foodie experience
I highly recommend you check this place out and sample some great cheeses. On Wednesdays they make grilled cheese, and on Fridays mac n cheese.
The cheese mongers are incredible! I love that you can taste any cheese you want and also learn a thing or two about its origin.
The best cheese from all over the world and the cheese lady employees are so knowledgeable and passionate about cheese. Love, love, love!!!
I love this place! Staff is knowledgable and friendly, all their recommendations are on point. This is the best place to go for cheese!!!
Cool place, I initially visited the cheese lady last summer had a really good time. The guy who was working was very friendly and allowed me to sample out multiple varieties of cheese I was unfamiliar with for adding to my recipes and great suggestions on what might taste good.
Wonderful selection. Great staff plus they let try before you buy! Yum yum yum
Very friendly staff, excellent service and products. They have a nice selection of Michigan beers for sale, and also make and serve delicious macaroni and cheese on Fridays!

Best grilled cheese you can find!
The cheese selection cannot be beat. Its almost overwhelming. The staff are very friendly and are there to help, and the wine pairing is always a great bonus.
Very knowledgeable staff and friendly. Went in to buy some Leelanau from Suttons Bay. Left with some of that and also a great young French raclette and cave aged Gruyere. The provide taste samples to make sure the cheese meets your tastes and needs. Great find.
Love the cheese here and the Cheese Mongers are very knowledgeable.
Great cheese selections even have vegan cheese.
So patient with me and my cheese tasting requests! Definitely worth stopping in!
Great customer service!
The owner of this place is an absolute disgrace. A judgemental, churlish, amateur, FOOL, who makes himself out to be a hirling of a bedlamite. The staff & selections are quaint & can be nice, but if you come across a hagard & bitter old man who isnt dying fast enough, leave at once.
Kyle is great at helping you find just what you want!
Big variety, excellent quality, friendly staff!
Amazing selection of cheese and very helpful staff. If only I could afford to shop here more...
Very kind and lots of vegan cheese options too!
Very knowledgeable and helpful staff and the BEST cheeses, wine, cutting boards and other stuff! Gotta check it out!!!
