Mission Cheese

Great selection of cheese and one of the yummiest grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had. The macncheese is also incredible. Service was just okay both times Ive been, the employees could have been a bit nicer and more welcoming.

Ambiance, Cheese, Beer, and Wine. Mission Cheese is the world’s first (and only, as of this writing) American Cheese Bar. From Triple Creams, to moody Blues, to stanky-Funkadelic Washed Rind cheeses, MC has it all! Plus some mouthwatering Mac n Cheese, and various grilled cheese sandwiches. Super BUSY ON WEEKENDS! So, show up early-anytime past 12, and you may not find a seat!! Not ideal for large groups, if you have more than 6 people, get your food to go. BEST time to go is Tuesday through Thursday, perfect for studying, a snack, and a frosty beer.

My husband took me here as a surprise birthday snack and I loved it! The cheeses were amazing. We got cheese platter #2 and they were all cow’s milk. One of my favorites was a Gouda that had a funky, salty taste. I wish I remembered the name. The woman that served us our platter gave us a description of all 3 cheeses and she was so passionate. The wine wasn’t anything to rave about so it was overpriced. The beer was a better choice. Also, I LOVE olives, but was not a fan of the olives served. Anyway, I’d still recommend anyone to come here. The women running it were very sweet.

A friend and I went to Mission Cheese in search of Charcuterie and we were not disappointed. We went with the owners recommendation for a selection of Salami, Cheese and Dried Fruit. The quality and flavor of the meat was excellent and the cheese was outstanding. I can't remember the types of cheese we ate but the flavors were rich and diverse. The order comes with some fresh bread and small house made pickles which were delicious. The owner also recommended a white wine from Berkeley called Donkey and Goat. I don't know much about wine but it was great and really complimented the flavor of the food. I can't wait to go back when I'm in the city.

I come here when I'm craving 'real' cheese and it doesn't disappoint. It has such a great selection and the staff is knowledgeable and gives a lot of info. The grilled sandwiches are great and I see many customers come here for wines. The place is small but very sociable.

It’s a very cool place and I live in France so love anything promoting REAL cheese but the prices for a glass of wine at $15 (I will say it was very good, an ‘orange’ wine I’ve never had) something as simple as a tin of mackerel (granted sustainably farmed) and a piece of toast at $14 are a bit high. If the prices were altered slightly I think it would represent a better value.

We popped in on a whim, after passing it on the way to Dandelion. So glad we did! Ended up having a nice afternoon on their patio just enjoying some local wine and curated cheese. We went during an off hour in the mid afternoon on a Friday so it wasn’t busy at all, but by the time we left it was starting to get packed. Great little spot to chat with a small group of friends, or go on a date!

I went here two days ago and ordered the three cheese, two meat platter, as was recommended for first timers. It was so good! I wish I could remember the exact details of the cheeses but each one was distinct and flavorful. It was a perfect pairing with the meats and I’m already planning a trip back to try the raclette or one of the sandwiches.
