Rubiner's Cheesemongers is a fantastic cheese shop with an incredible selection of hard and soft cheeses from around the world, along with high-quality breads, spreads, and delicacies like prosciutto and smoked salmon. It offers an extensive assortment of other items including wines, jams, hot sauces, and frozen treats. The staff is super helpful, knowledgeable, and skilled. The atmosphere is nice, though the indoor air quality in the cafe area can be poor and smoky from toasting sandwiches. Some find the service has too much attitude and can feel unwelcoming, but the products are generally worth the price. It is considered the best for cheese, coffee, and sandwiches by many.
highly curated selection covers all genres. The team is kind and knowledgeable, happy to advise directions and selections. I don’t see them ever steering you wrong.

Cheese selection *looked* beautiful. Service painfully slow and the guy disappeared to the back before I gave up on trying to purchase. Maybe it was good?

This store all by itself, is worth a trip to Great Barrington
