Cheese Shop Santa Barbara

I wish we had the need to shop here more often. I try to stop in whenever I am nearby. My daughter is 1.5 and one of her first words was cheese . She loves it! She 's very open to trying new things, and I appreciate that they let us taste the different cheeses to see what she 'll like. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the quality of products they carry is just top notch. I highly recommend showing up and supporting this gem of a local cheese shop. They are also the only place I know of that carried Jose Andres Potato chips (they are the best).

In my opinion, this cheese shop is a must do in Santa Barbara. The selection is excellent and the folks behind the counter never steer me in the wrong direction. Everything they have suggested is delicious or, its just that every single thing in this store tastes good! Grab a baguette, cheese and accompaniments and walk up to the courthouse or the mission for a picnic. I like to stock up on cheese and meat when I visit and snack on my goodies all week for lunches.

Such beautiful design touches on the platters we ordered! We ordered Salumi, Smoked Salmon, Assorted Cheese, and Homemade Cookie trays for a recent party. I worked with Kathryn who perfectly advised me on the correct amount for our party size. She's a ball of happy energy and clearly shows her passion for her business. Our guests raved about the appearance, tastes, and artistry of each platter. Everything was fresh, lovely, beautifully arranged and delicious. We highly recommend Kathryn and her marvelous Cheese Shop for your next party!

Visited on 5/3 while visiting Santa Barbara was not disappointed. The guy at the register helped me and my boyfriend out being so kind and knowledgable about all the cheese selection they had. We even sampled the roasted tomato feta spread and had to get a tub to take home. It's a shame it's only one location but every single cheese we tried was amazing! I love cheese and would definitely recommend checking this place out if you love cheese as well!

Terrific place to pick up goods for a picnic and exquisite gifts for your foodie friends. Fun to browse which is a good thing because it can be a wait to get counter service.
