BKLYN Larder

Disappointed in the service here. We had a simple order- 2 grilled cheese sandwiches and 2 tomato soups. It took 40 minutes to get the sandwiches. And the restaurant was empty when we showed up. After the first 20 mins we asked what was going on and they let us know they lost our order. It took another 20 mins to finally get the grilled cheese sandwiches Bummed because the food was great and the store had a good vibe. Hope they can improve this in the future.

A wonderful spot to pick up delicious local and organic cheese, meats, and other prepared foods. Also has a solid breakfast menu, good lunch sandwiches, and friendly staff. The prepared foods also include sweet baked goods. There’s also ice cream, craft beer, and a wall of snacks and flavors. High end stuff - usually pretty damn tasty too. The prices reflect the high quality. (Review corrected! I thought I bought wine here a couple years ago!)

When Seamless goofed my delivery, they remade sandwiches fresh n hot for pickup and threw in some free cookies as a treat!! Sandwiches (esp Meatball sub) are amazing, best to order direct through their website (cheaper and easier…)

Absolutely love this place!The environment is so fun, even though the actual venue is small. They have absolutely everything from snacks and deli , to beer and ice cream. I bought two sandwiches and a bev. The meatball sandwich is to die for. Was so bomb🔥 Service not bad either. Totally stop by if you’re anywhere near here!!

On my way home to day, I stopped at this amazing new partner on the food for all app. It’s the last hour before they close, and I was so fortunate to pick up a wide variety of amazing quality, tasty dishes at a discount. Emily, who was extremely patient and friendly, helped me with all the purchases. I couldn’t help but do a full on photo shoot of this adorable place and all the things that I now get to eat. There’s a really adorable seating section, and they’re also happy to heat up the food as well for people to stay. Thank you so much for being part of this movement to save food!

Great selection of cheeses and other grocery items! We found all our favorite cheeses in one place. The folks working here are very friendly. Might be our new favorite spot.

Beer + Cheese Tasting - this was my first Yelp Event! A special little market place off of Flatbush Ave, which you should totally take the time to check out. Even if just for the lovely cheesy smell. There's more than just an abundance of cheese options, such as a variety of creative ice cream flavors, meats, and beer. There were 3 sampling stations with reps describing the beer and cheese pairings. I learned about some new beers which tasted better than I expected. I'm not very much a beer person so this was a great way to try new beers recommended to go well with something I do enjoy...CHEESE! The staff was lovely, Sandy (I hope I got her name right ) was especially helpful and explained a variety of salads (see in pictures). I loved the roasted cauliflower salad, delicious!

Very very impressed! Incredible selection of high end and homemade products. I got the roast beef sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend if you’re passing by

This place is such a gem! I've stopped in 3 times now, to get food, food items and gifts. Most recently, I went in as I saw on their social media they sold unique tins of fish (pictured) from countries like Portugal. I purchased tinned sardines, squid in tomato sauce, horse mackerel and scallops, along with a really cute Hanukkah themed card for a friend. I've only tried the sardines but they were awesome on toast. The shop itself is small but carries a good variety of dry goods, and refrigerated items near the back. I've also tried one of their sandwiches and one of their pre prepared pastas which were divine, with the quality of ingredients standing out to me the most. Staff is always friendly as well. I'd come back here any day of the week!

Popped in here for a quick lunch. I know this spot is a cheese dream but something drew me in at the sound of 'Truffle Chicken Salad'. It is definitely a smaller sandwich, as I normally save one half of sandwiches when dining out to save for later but this lil guy I ate in one sitting. Could have also been the fact that it was delicious. The chicken salad itself had just the right amount of truffle, which is a hard amount to master. It was somewhat light and refreshing for a summer's day as the salad was chilled and creamy. Paired of course with lettuce and tomato, this was a great lunch. The bread could have been a bit fresher, but the nuttiness from the seeded bread complimented the creamy interior well. I would still order this again, though it was on the more expensive side for a small sandwich (I think it was $16?). The service staff was lovely and attentive and helped answer multiple cheese questions for me. I did end up leaving with a 1/4 of cheese to use for ham sandwiches (which I had asked for help with). I've since eaten my selection and agree with the cheese monger that this was a nice choice for this purpose. It went well with ham and mustard and I was overall happy with my experience. I want to use the TooGoodToGo for this spot in the future, I really like that they participate in this program. I'll update as I continue to try their sandwiches and other offerings. :)

Excellent spot near Barclays. If you're coming in for a show and want something quick, this would be a great pick. It's got your Brooklyn hipster feel inside with a few tables and chairs inside and out. The truffle chicken salad sandwich was great- it doesn't really taste like truffle IMO but it's still great. The Brocc was my favorite- bread was fresh, sauce was flavorful, broccoli was perfectly cooked. They also have gluten free bread as an option! Didn't try them but the desserts looked excellent

I have been here a bunch. I'll first say it's stupidly overpriced, even for NYC, but particularly for what you get. The grilled cheese for instance is the smallest sandwich you can conceive of, yet they charge $15+ for it because of the "quality of the cheese." Other sandwiches are pretty average. That said the meatball sandwich is excellent. So will I go back? Yes I am sure I will. But I'll be annoyed at the prices and wishing there was another place nearby I could go to instead.

Cute local sandwich and picnic food spot. I got the turkey and soup. The cheese hits home

The truffle chicken salad is the best I've ever had. A must try. A nice little gem in Park Slope.

I stopped in here on the 30th to pick up last minute gifts for my mother in law. I was pretty excited about the selections, but the end result of this was embarrassment and disgust. Last night, we discovered mold on the sea salt Concord grape jam when we opened the jar. Initially, I wanted to bring it back for return but fam wanted to keep it. Disappointing, especially since I spent around $70 here. Hope this product is removed ASAP and a better process for rotating products and overall quality control is developed for the future.

I've been a customer of Brooklyn Larder for a few years. While I don't often visit, when I do, the customer service is excellent. Yesterday I called to inquire about a charcuterie board. I'm attending a picnic event in Prospect Park and wanted a small charcuterie box. I ordered a similar box approximately six months ago for Diner En Blanc. The person on the phone was able to find my information in the system, tell me the cheeses I ordered, and said if I could come in today, I could create a similar item for pick up on Saturday. He said he would leave a note for his colleagues so they knew to expect me. I arrived and explained why I was in the store. The counter person did not know what I was talking about. No worries. I gave her my name and asked if she could look me up in the system. She seemed bothered by the request and told me she couldn't find my information. I needed to know what cheeses were in the previous box to reorder them. After reviewing the laptop, she found my information and referred me to the cheesemonger. David was friendly, gave me some samples, and made suggestions. I went to order the box and was told by the counter person that I could not order it in the store but would have to do it online. I wrote the information down, paid for some items, and left. When I got to work, I went to the website but had difficulty ordering as the item I wanted to purchase was not there. I called the store and spoke to the counterperson. When I told her what I was looking for, she stated, "Oh No! We don't have that. We only have the boxes priced on the website." I thanked her, and she replied, "Yep," and hung up the phone. I expected a bit more from the Brooklyn Larder, given my positive experiences, but that ship has sailed. I'll take my business elsewhere.

I received a TooGoodToGo order from here and now they've gotten a new customer out of me! The man at the counter was not only extremely friendly but packed my bag with a delicious variety. I received a tomato soup, Spanish omelet, chickpea salad, and sourdough bread. Everything was delicious and flavored with the perfect balance of spices. My favorite was the Spanish omelet which came with an amazing paprika aioli, delicious! Can't wait to come back!

Overpriced ... I got a grilled cheese sandwich here that cost $15. It's on a 4" square of bread. It's was SO TINY. I actually thought they gave me the wrong order. See picture (fork for scale). I thought it was going to be much bigger and sufficient for a full (lunch) meal.

BEYOND CHEESE HEAVEN, which fills all of your Charcuterie needs, their sandwiches are flavor Bombs that satisfy any hunger pains. We ate and turned around, came back & purchased more to take home. The Chicken Salad sandwich reminds you of a nice picnic in France...or up the block in Prospect Park. They PILE ON hearty scoops of organic chicken (which you actually taste!) Bathed in eggy, fresh mayo, squeeze of lemon, herbs (Parsley & dill), onions (red & white), scallions & salted gently for the PERFECT bite! It's mounted in between two hearty slices of Sourdough and Red Leaf lettuce. They also have their version of a Mississippi Beef sandwich. Instead of shredded beef, they have sliced Roasted Beef, in a hero with Pepperoncini and Provolone. We splurged on a bag of our favorite gourmet Swedish Fish, Kolsvart (Sour Blueberry) to feel extra fancy. You WILL leave BROKE, if you're like us, but you don't have to. You'll definitely leave successfully satisfied, full & craving for a quick return! Service is just as topnotch as the food!

Get everything. Was a loyal customer from day one - redeemed many sandwich cards and spent an unholy amount of time at the larder. Moved away and returned to visit nearly a decade later and the level of customer service, the consistency of the food has not changed. Looking forward to revisiting. The roast chicken, the polenta, the rabe and roast beef sandwiches, respectively. Even if you miss you can't miss with the selection.

Love this place it's been around for a long time and you can see why when you step inside. From a great curated collection of snacks and chocolates for I their own prepared food, all is excellent quality. Amazing cheese selection as well!

Definitely basic white people flavored food. The counter person was eh and couldn't be bothered. Ordered a pimento grilled cheese (only option) and tomato soup. After a long wait they told us there was no tomato soup available (but it was in the prepared foods cold case). Got some vegan potato-y soup instead. The flavors were very subtle. The soup could highly benefit from additional seasoning, at least some pepper. The sandwich tasted like grilled bread, can't imagine we'll return.

Love this place for a quick sandwich order!! My favorite has to be the truffle chicken salad. It's so tasty without having an over-powerful truffle taste. I did get the mac & cheese delivered once and didn't love it. It definitely needed some more salt and flavor. But, I can't wait to try more of their sandwiches!

Great cheese selections and be sure to try the cheese bread! I also am a big fan of the fresh bread.

We ordered a couple of sandwiches here this past weekend, 1 Italian Combo and 1 Truffle Chicken Salad Sandwich. Both sandwiches were delicious, the meats were plentiful and the bread was fresh. Great selection of cheeses and other charcuterie ingredients in the store, too.

I can't say enough great things about this place.. here is a witty observation: B: beautiful presentation of food, home decor and so much more K: the cheese kits prepared by their cheese mongers look delicious L: love love love did I say love? Lincolnshire Poacher Cheddar. Thanks to BL I have a serious addiction.. is there a cheesaholic anonymous? N: neighborhood cheese store, yep Brooklyn this is it, no need to shop elsewhere L: the definition of larder is a supply of food. And what a supply!! All delicious! A: artisanal cheeses sourced from UK, Netherlands, Spain and other glorious places R: rewards that are delicious; 8 points gets a free 1/4 pound cheese! Become a member today! D: Divina spreads.. yep they carry it.. have you tried the Sour Cherry? Fig? I can keep going... E: epicurean taste in food, wine, decor, etc R: recommendations from the cheese mongers when you join their Cheese of the Month club.. not just cheese but meats as well There are also Virtual Tasting Tours that are packed with great product education on cheese, meats, etc. Special shout out to Mandy, owner, and her entire Larder team for consistent excellent customer service, delicious cheeses and wonderful prepared foods( try the coconut curry corn salad, spicy tomato soup!) Any store that can keep a picky customer like me coming back, must be doing something right!

Unconscionably disappointing. The sandwich bread was frozen solid at first and then after i sent it back, crumbled in my hands. Was eating slices of meat with my fingers for $25. 0/10

BKLYN Lader is a cheese lover's paradise if there ever was one. I had the great pleasure of being led through a curated tasting of European Cheeses hosted virtually by the owner, and it's really true that food tastes better when you know something about it. We learned about a sheep farm whose herders play mariachi music before the sheep go out to graze on grass, and they believe this calms them and makes the milk and cheese taste better. We also learned that if a cheese is yellow vs. cream colored, it's mostly due to beta-carotene that is consumed by the cow and dissolves into the animal's fat stores and ends up in fat globules in its milk. Yum, right? Though really, the curation of the cheeses in this kit were fantastic. The shelves in their Downtown Brooklyn store were stocked with some of my favorite things, including Darjeeling tea, dark chocolate bars, Mike's Hot Honey, and kombucha. I am a sucker for artisanal products and I'm not sorry. This place is paradise for me.

The owner is an incredible person, very helpful in explaining the cheeses. As far as selection goes, if you're looking for quality, go here. I'm very impressed. I'll be back.

Picked up goodies to make a cheese plate class for Yelp's PostValentine event. Store was as beautifully decorated as it always is with the smell of deliciously pungent cheeses in the air. Service was quick and I got my free cookie for checking in on Yelp :)

I had a fantastic experience here yesterday. I'm new to the neighborhood and both of the staff working there were beyond friendly and helpful, taking the time to introduce me to their favorite cheeses and even giving me a "welcome to the neighborhood" sample to take home. Their offering of cheeses is top notch, special even, and I bought some beautiful things.

OK, we're open-minded enough to pay $9.00 (yes, nine dollars) for a cupcake, but then we expect it to be moist. And larger than typical cupcakes. BKLN Larder, drop the prices or improve the merchandise!!!

This place is AMAZING. Perfect, almost. Came here picked up a few charcuterie, antipasto items for picnic in the park. And they got it all! I really like the brussels sprouts in some chill dressing ( just a hint of spice), the tahini cauliflower, and the duck bacon brioche (!). I wanted the salad version but they sold out. I bet it would be even better! Next time! The service was friendly and efficient. You can pte order and pick up and go in less than 2 mins. Or stayed at one of the two tables outside. They sold coders, beers too. Get the whole action going. Come visit and support local biz!

This place is delicious. They have such a large assortment of cheeses that are all delicious. I purchased the panna cotta which was delicious along with ibérico ham for a friend and they could not stop raving about it. The store has such cute things and definitely makes a good place to purchase a gift for someone. Parking is difficult nearby because of the regulations but it is definitely worth it!

I am obsessed with this place! It is conveniently located right on Flatbush Ave in downtown Brooklyn but it is also very unassuming, sandwiched among other shops and apartment entrances. I walked right past it the first time I went looking for it! Upon entering, I was impressed with the sheer amount of stuff available! They have a ton of baked goods, charcuterie things, and about a million different types of cheeses and chocolates! I want to try all of it! Plus you can get prepared food there as well. This is the perfect place to stock up on things for a picnic, party, or a small get-together if you want to serve guests and friends an elevated level of finger foods/small bites. The Gouda, Cheddar, and Manchego were all perfect! As was the sour cherry spread, chocolate, and olive oil baguette crisps (?) I got from here. 10/10 will definitely be back to keep up my constant stock of cheese, chocolate and various spreads.

Everything that came with my cheese board package was amazing. The bread was perfectly toasted, the cherry spread tasted amazing with it. All the cheeses were so good, the Manchego especially!

Such a great shop for charcuterie, cheese, local treats and grocery items, prepared foods and more. I've been here a couple times and as much as I would love to go wild in here and buy 15 things, the place is pricey. That's my only setback. With that said, everything they offer is high quality, so you're getting what you pay for. Some of my fave things to pick up are the cheeses (such a unique, curated selection!) and kombucha or NY beer. Plus, they have great shortbread cookies! The walls are lined with local goods that make for great holiday gifts if you want to shop extra extra local by supporting small NY based businesses and supporting Bklyn Larder! One day I'll finally check out their sandwiches and prepared foods.

If you are using them for a business catering or corporate please DON'T!!!! I ordered a large catering order for 20 people around $500, places it on Friday for Monday delivery. The person taking my order gave me 30 minute delivery windows, we agreed on 11:30-12 bc it was a lunch meeting. I have the receipt that shows 11:30-12 pm delivery, I was only planning to arrive to the office at that time. Come Monday, the food was delivered at 10 AM, lunch was delivered at 10AM!!!! I would never ever in my life agree to that! Not only that but the receipt that was left at the office said MUST BE DELIVERED BY 10. By the time I got to the office I have no idea who had food and who didn't, which I need for reporting reasons, they screwed up my whole meeting and made me loook like an unprofessional clown. Instead of apologizing for their mistake the owner persists on telling me that their delivery windows are 2 hours and that food was room temperature, um deli meat shouldn't be at room temperature for 2 hours!! I'm reporting them for disgusting food practices. I wanted to dispute the charge but I'll do better I will not order and tell every office and rep I know in town not to use them

This is a review for the monthly virtual cheese tasting. What a fun event! I really enjoyed tasting the cheese while hearing the story of how its made and what it goes well with. I learned so much I didn't know about cheese. Also, the selection by Bklyn Larder were incredible. I am in the shop once a month and often don't know what to get but all 4 cheeses in the box were solid favorites along with the sour cherry spread. Thank you for introducing these to me. I will most certainly be back in the shop for more cheese, those yummy crostini and spreads.

Brooklyn Larder has changed from quality at a price to a complete swindle. We purchased a Thanksgiving turkey from them. It was expensive, but we had bought our turkey from them the previous two years and it was well cooked and good quality. This year they advertised a 10-12 pound turkey for $150. The turkey I got was 6 pounds. That's $25 per pound for turkey! $25! For turkey! We contacted them and were told the turkey shrinks during cooking. Turkeys don't shrink 50% during cooking. A complete rip-off. Brooklyn Larder has decided on a strategy of surviving the hard times by fleecing their customer. Advertising a 10-12 pound turkey and delivering a 6-pound bird borders on fraud. I will never go back.

The new egg sandwich is a big disappointment to me. It's a super rubbery brick of egg and cheese that giggles like jello, like something congealed overnight in a Tupperware container and has a strange taste. I have no idea why on earth you guys would take a perfectly delicious egg sandwich--a fluffy scrambled egg with  delicate cheese--and turn it into something else entirely, except to appear more edgy or unique. I can only speak for myself: this gelatinous brick is gross. PLEASE go back to making the original normal thing. When it comes to time-tested recipes from trusted small businesses, if it's not broken don't fix it. I understand you want to update your food but consider doing it gently, not radically.

This is the local go-to for craft beer (constantly rotating), meats, and cheeses. They have a fairly extensive hot/cold bar with chicken cutlets, lasagna, meatballs and a variety of pasta salads. The sandwiches are a bit pricey for the size, but come during lunch and get chips and a drink for a dollar more. This business has also responded quickly and effectively the recent corona virus, keep customers in the loop, and changing their operations to function more as a grab and go.

This review is just of the thing in the photo. The below text is apparently too long for a caption. ----- I'm not sure what this thing is called. I bought it at the counter for $2.75 on an impulse. It is chewy, and salty, and the nuttiness in the cheese dovetails right into the nuttiness in the pepitas and the poppyseeds, so beautifully, it is like going down a waterslide of nuts into the warmest, bubbliest, most borderline-gelatinous bubble bath, and I mean that in every conceivable sense of the phrase. Eat this thing.

I am logged in and yet, after numerous attempts - I still can't pay!! What's happening? I'm going to try once more and then I'l move on to another business!!

Love, love this place, especially since I'm a huge cheese addict! Bought two breakfast sandwiches (one with bacon on brioche and the other with sausage on a fresh buttermilk biscuit). Both of them were absolutely delicious and the biscuit was perfect -- super fluffy with just a touch of flake salt. The sausage was spiced well and was juicy and crispy on the outside. I also picked up provisions to picnic later in the park. There is a vast selection of cheeses and meats to choose from, and I also got a loaf of tangy sourdough as well. For $15, I bought their "cheese babies": an assortment of different cheeses which is awesome. There are two tables outside to enjoy your food, however they were both occupied so we walked over to some benches nearby. The reason I took off a star was as soon as my husband and I bit into our sandwiches, a bunch of raw egg came oozing out -- see last photo. I would definitely come back, but might ask that they cook the eggs through next time since that's something that is definitely not so appetizing. Great job, BKLYN Larder -- keep serving up the excellence!

Great ordering online for pickup experience. Awesome blue cotswold gouda pate manchengo and knowledge of the music sheep's listen to in certain farms in Spain. They have really stepped up there knowledge from a great sandwich shop to a great gourmet foods & strong cheese shop.

I did not actually physically go but a team sent my job a Thank You note and along the note was a $300 Cheese/Crackers Platter with roasted almonds from BKLYN Larder. I can honestly say, the crackers were amazing, especially the pistachio crackers. In the platter, there were a variety of cheeses that were all really great and not too strong. There were raisins, grapes, and the roasted almonds that had this amazing crisp char taste to it. The Chocolate Babka bread is also very delicious, it literally melts in your mouth, so soft, and the intricate textures of each bite.

Beer + Cheese Tasting - this was my first Yelp Event! A special little market place off of Flatbush Ave, which you should totally take the time to check out. Even if just for the lovely cheesy smell. There's more than just an abundance of cheese options, such as a variety of creative ice cream flavors, meats, and beer. There were 3 sampling stations with reps describing the beer and cheese pairings. I learned about some new beers which tasted better than I expected. I'm not very much a beer person so this was a great way to try new beers recommended to go well with something I do enjoy.. CHEESE! The staff was lovely, Sandy (i hope i got her name right ) was especially helpful and explained a variety of salads (see in pictures). I loved the roasted cauliflower salad, delicious!

A longtime Larder fan, the hand picked curated goods are of such high quality. Have enjoyed everything here over the years, prepared foods, sperfine baked goods, gelato w, breads, cheeses. The staff here is super knowledgable. Only wish is more seasonal prepared foods in the case. They do feature some seasonal baked goods and foods that can be ordered, but some smaller batch seasonal cooked foods in the case would be fab at the fabulous Franny's owned apot requested by Frannyonthego.

Quality and care. I feel like that best describes this place. If you're ok spending a bit more for a sandwich then this place is perfect. I went with the chicken salad sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed the fresh ingredients and well balanced execution. My girlfriend went with the G'Tom and same thing. Very simple, but high quality ingredients make each of these very enjoyable.

Mandy helped us host a virtual event with our clients. Absolutely incredible cheeses and she was perfect at hosting everyone on zoom. We've done a lot of virtual sessions and this was by far the best. Mandy is beyond knowledgeable without being pretentious, and strikes the right balance of leading the event while allowing everyone else to connect and ask questions. Thank you Mandy!!!

I looooove BKLYN Larder. It's pricy as hell but carries so many different amazing cheeses. I'm embarrassed that I've made $60 cheese plates for myself at home alone but YOLO right? They make great recommendations on cheeses based on what you're looking for. They carry good sides for cheese plates like jams, dried fruits, nuts, and honeys. They also have a free cookie with purchase as a check in special (please never remove this) and their chocolate chip cookie is to dieeeee for. I will definitely come to BKLYN Larder any time I feel like a fancy bitch and want to blow money on cheese.

The lost art of sandwich making... We ordered delivery so take that into consideration, but not sure that should matter with a sandwich. From my perspective, the foundations of a great sandwich were there but it was all ruined by the carelessness of whoever made our sandwiches. I'm talking, all meat on one side, all bread on the other, a ham sandwich that's light on meat and heavy on fat, etc. You get my point. Tighten it up fellas.

When I first walked in here, I wept tears of joy. Well, I almost did. They have a gorgeous selection of meats, cheeses, oils, breads, chocolates, soups, spreads...all things that make me happy (except chocolate, I don't really care that much about chocolate). The staff is fantastic; they are extremely friendly, and enthusiastic about their product (with good reason). I asked if they've tasted everything in the store, and they affirmed, "We have to know what we're selling." So I'm considering getting a job here. I can't afford to eat everything otherwise, because some items are just out-of-control expensive. And I really want to eat everything. I would do it for the rabbit terrine alone ($20/lb). Barring employment, I'm not sure how to solve this problem. I want to eat here every day and stock my fridge with the entire store. Unfortunately, I have to pay rent. I've spoken to my landlord, but this seems to be kind of a deal-breaker with him. Some people are just unreasonable.

Mandy helped us host a virtual holiday cheese tasting event for ~30 people. Not only was she super organized and on top of things despite many last-minute changes, but she was a fabulous host - extremely knowledgeable and skilled at making people feel welcome to participate despite a large-group Zoom environment. We got the 'Larder Favorites' tasting kit and the cheese was uniformly delicious (the Prairie Cheese Cheddar and Brabander in particular). We would definitely recommend BKLYN Larder and Mandy to co-workers and would do this again in the future.

I tried so much to avoid this place, and wanted so badly to dislike it, as I find Franny's to be the most overhyped, overrated restaurant in my fair borough - nay, the whole city. However, if you live in the area and like to cook at all, the breadth of unique, high-quality products are unparalleled. Need freekah? No problem! Recipe randomly suggests champagne or grenache vinegar - of course! As I've come here more often, willingly rather than begrudgingly, I've tried some of their prepared foods, which have been quite good. The cheese selection is incredible, and they have excellent craft beer and local coffee/tea/pantry options as well. The prices unfortunately don't let you forget that you are shopping at a high-quality/specialty store - they pretty much run the gamut from "I guess I could have expected that" to "Seriously? I mean, does that come with a hand job or something?" - but its still a good spot when you're willing to see the "get what you pay for" scale to fall heavily on the quality side as opposed to the thrifty side. Finally, based solely on personal experience, I would confidently estimate that you have about a 40% chance of a Maggie Gyllenhaal sighting here.

Really really good Ice Cream Sandwiches here ($4.75). Unless you are a real cheese fan, the overwhelming smell of it in here is a little off-putting, so just grab your Ice Cream Sandwich from the freezer case and take a nice walk outside to enjoy it. I'm always a little wary when ice cream sandwiches are prepackaged instead of freshly made, but these are really well made. The benefit to when they are prepackaged and in the freezer case as they are here is that the ice cream is nice and hard so they don't get too messy as you eat them (that's what she...). I guess people come here a lot for cheese, but I would like to come back again to try more of the several other flavors they have for ice cream sandwiches, as well as some of the delicious looking cookies and pastries. And they also sell Bacon Peanut Brittle, which I'm pretty sure must be delicious.
