Lake Wine & Spirits is a hidden gem known for its excellent deli and sandwich offerings. The shop features a cute space with a separate cheese shop area that boasts incredible cheeses and meats, making the selection "fuego." Their sandwiches are highly praised, with some calling them the best in the city and highlighting favorites like the “Sean” and the Heidi Ho, which can change perceptions of what a sandwich can be. Customers appreciate good prices and friendly staff, although some note the shop is often closed early and suggest updating the website for accurate hours. The store also offers a good selection of wines, with recommendations to include more unique, hipster options to attract a broader crowd. Overall, it’s a well-loved local spot for quality deli sandwiches and a great wine and cheese selection.
The cheese shop is such a neighborhood gem, for both the delicious cheeses and sandwiches and the lovely, passionate staff. Cindy is so kind, welcoming, and fun to talk to every time I stop by—and you can bet she KNOWS her cheeses.

I could spend a month in the cheese store. Not just because they have a fantastic selection and are generous with the tastings. They love what they are selling and it translates. Going back tomorrow for sandwiches- which look and smell amazing.
