An upscale cheese shop! They have a lot of options for cheese, crackers, and spreads. They have food you can order too. Its a tad pricey, but probably worth it.

I wish I could have bought this shop home to LA with me. Super friendly and fun staff. Tasty comfort food and so many creative options. I loved the Sleazy Mac!

I love the sandwiches and the soup! I stop here for cheese for any outing with friends, or dinner that I need to bring an appetizer course. They are excellent at recommending cheese and giving samples!

This is a great place not only for fancy cheese, but also for gourmet non-perishable food items - they stock a large and interesting selection of things like hot sauce, mustard, pickles, and pasta sauce. I buy lots of gifts here. They also make a great grilled cheese (with high quality cheese of course) that you can get with tomato soup. Highly recommended all around.

Generous, friendly, knowledgeable service. They were game to take a vague description of a need and recommend just the right cheese. A little on the expensive side, but hey, this is a cheese shop were talking about.

There is not a single thing to complain about here. The only thing that surpasses the food is the friendliness of the staff. I’m really going to miss this place.

Can say enough about this place. Selections of cheese and various spreads and canned goodness. The people know and respect the cheese. Also, serves great lunch, definitely have to try out their various award winning Mac n cheese offering.

Cant say enough good things about this place. Stellar neighborhood cheese shop, with the focus on neighborhood; everybody is a friend here. Super affable staff with a deep knowledge of cheese and top quality products. Their sandwiches are amazing; try mashing the Tofu 2.0 together with the Grilled Cheese Trinity and it basically tears a hole in space-time.

If you ever crave grilled cheese and tomato soup, Sacred Wheel is the go to that will hit the spot. Crispy grilled cheesy goodness with a side of PBR infused tomato soup is the best combo. Also has their creamy crawfish soup. Ask for samples if you cant decide. The Bernie Mac was interesting. Grilled slice of Mac and cheese made the edges crispy. Didnt think it was anything special, but the honey sauce that came with it definitely brought out the flavors and made it taste better.

This is a cozy, homestyle food market that serves award-winning mac and cheese and grilled cheese, and offers a modest but well curated selection of cheddars, hard and soft cheeses. That is what you can expect from this adorable mom-and-daughter operation and a former chef for Michael Mina. Transplants and lovers of the state of Virginia will appreciate the wall of homage to the duos Virginia roots, and the great things that have come from that state. Who knew Spam was invented in Virginia?

Came here with my family after a Giants game. Their mac n cheese is out of this world (I had the sleazy mac, which is mac n cheese covered in sriracha/sloppy joe and a fried egg). They sear the mac n cheese so it has a caramelized crust on it. My kids had grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.They also have a great selection of cheeses, and staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful. We came for lunch, and ended up leaving with three different types of cheese, some chorizo, and a selection of crackers.If youre in the area, you should check this place out. Great food, great products, and above all, really great people.

In addition to the amazing cheese selection be sure to come hungry for half a sandwich and a serving of Mac and cheese. It gives homeroom a run for its money.

An amazing, perfectly curated selection of cheeses awaits you here. Just try to walk away from the counter once the owner starts you on a cheese-sample bender!
