This small shop offers a large variety of excellent cheeses, with a patient, knowledgeable staff. I spent about $80 and was surprised by the tip suggestions on the payment machine. I am appreciative of the advice but would rather pay more for the product than be asked to subsidize wages.

This cheese shop is the best place in Austin to find specialty cheeses, build a unique charcuterie board, and take cheese-related classes.
