I don 't know a lot about cheese, except that it makes for some of the best jokes. However, for a while now this place has been on my radar and a series of events (such as date night coinciding with the store 's late hours allowed us to come here and explore their offerings. It is a small shop, located on Delaware Ave. in a set of stores that is easy to miss if you don 't have a smart phone or a very observant wife/navigator! When we walked in it was obvious that this was a fun little store with a wide variety of cheeses. However, it wasn 't cold (as in full of fridge coolers at all but instead warm and pleasant. Which is also exactly how I would describe Mary, the woman who helped us. She w...

With a cheese connoisseur for a dad, I found this place and thought it was a must. It's a hole in the wall but arranged beautifully with cheeses, dried meats, drinks, sweets, and what felt like one-of-a-kind items. They offered a variety of cheeses and the attendant was incredibly knowledgable. They make pressed sandwiches, which we all ordered. When we visited, there was no place to sit inside but with a decent drive home, we sat in the parking lot to save the integrity of the food. The sandwiches come with a pickle which was great and we added the tomato soup for one of them. The idea is great, a sandwich with fancy meats and cheeses paired into hot sandwiches. Unfortunately, the pairings...
My husband decided to bring me here as a fun date night. We talked to Mary who was friendly and knowledgeable. After sampling some cheeses she helped us curate a dinner box with 4 cheeses, 2 meats and our choice of crackers or bread. We opted for black pepper water crackers which were very good.. The rest of the box was filled with an assortment of fruit, jam, nuts, cornishons, chocolate, and a honey stick. The store is quaint with an eclectic assortment of chocolate, candy, chips, tea, sodas, pasta, milk and other local products. They have some amazing sounding grilled cheese sandwiches. With duck...yes please! I wish I had known about their summer bbq menus sooner. Tomorrow is the last nig...
If you enjoy international and domestic cheeses, charcuterie, drinks, and all the accompaniments that go with them—along with a bit of extra cash—you’ll likely fall in love with this place right away. After recently moving from the mid-Hudson Valley, I was on the lookout for a spot that could satisfy my cravings for the cheeses and meats I loved from my previous favorite place (Adams), and that’s when I found Cheese Traveler. The staff here are incredibly welcoming and helpful, and their selection is truly impressive. They even offer cheese education for those interested in learning more! During my first visit, I indulged in some fantastic French cheeses, including Roquefort, and I can alrea... Book a table now
We needed a rush order on a Tuesday afternoon with delivery before 6 pm, and the wonderful woman, Becky, on the phone accommodated us with patience, efficiency, and artistry within the hour. She herself delivered a platter of assorted and tasty cheeses and charcuterie in a beautiful presentation that was so tasteful that the recipients, who were sitting Shiva for a beloved relative, were actually moved at its arrival. That it tasted as wonderfully as it looked, added to its special value. THANK YOU The Cheese Traveler!
During our first visit, we were delighted by the remarkable variety of cheeses and other food offerings. It’s evident that they possess extensive knowledge about cheese. This is an excellent place to discover a thoughtful holiday gift that anyone would love.
I ordered the cheese and sausage platter a few times. The staff was very knowledgeable about their recommendations, and the quality of the products was definitely worth the price. Excellent!
Absolutely loved the cheese class! Mary provided us with an enjoyable evening filled with Cheddars and Ciders from New York and Vermont. It was informative, fun, and absolutely delicious! Book a table now
