This bustling sandwich shop and market offers a delectable array of gourmet cheeses, fresh salads, and mouthwatering sandwiches, perfect for a casual lunch out.
"This cheese shop has dominated the casual lunch game since opening in 2007 with a menu of sandwiches featuring cheeses from French brie (on a baguette with ham) to Rogue River's Smokey Blue (with thin sliced roast beef), not to mention a Ploughman's Lunch of cheeses, paté, chutney, a green salad, and bread. Both locations also offer some of the best entree salads in town." - Eater Staff
"This Uptown paradise for cheese lovers does a stupendous job on the simple grilled cheese. Order that modest favorite at St. James Cheese Company, and a bewitching, oozing delight awaits. By all means add ham, bacon, or proscuitto to a melt of aged Colby grilled on rustic Bellegarde sourdough. The Il Mostro, with capicola, rosemary ham, rosa salami, provolone, and all the fixins’ is also a local favorite." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"In Episode 4, “Jenni Seckel’s Diary,” Porowski learns about educator Jenni’s love of good cheese, born from her travels in France as a student. Porowksi stops by St. James Cheese Company (we think it’s the Prytania Street location rather than the Warehouse District shop) to pick up some cheeses, appearing to settle on some hard cheese and letting his dog sample a piece of salami. The cheese is on display for Jenni’s end-of-week reveal party, where Jenni also serves the trout meunière Porowski taught her to make." - Clair Lorell
"The Cantal and Parmesan Reggiano salads at St. James Cheese Company have been on the menu pretty much since day one — and there’s a good reason they’ve both lasted this long. A cheese lover’s dream, the Cantal salad also features julienned ham, apples, walnuts, and mixed greens with Dijon vinaigrette dressing. The Parmesan Reggiano, another customer favorite, is mixed greens topped with salami, black olives, grilled artichoke hearts, walnuts, Parmigiano, and vinaigrette dressing." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"Stop at St. James before heading to Rosh Hashanah dinner and arrive bearing a perfect holiday gift basket, one of the beloved cheese shop’s specialties. Both locations are wrapping up a bundle featuring with cheese, apple preserves, honeycomb, and crackers." - Clair Lorell
