The Village Cheese Shop 105 Love Lane, Mattituck, NY 11952

"I always enjoy the Village Cheese Shop. Wonderful selection of fine cheeses and friendly knowledge staff. They are always patient with helping my wife and I select the right cheese. We usually end up leaving with something with truffles."

"I have been a loyal customer for many years. The past several months I’ve been surprised with your poor service. I stopped by a few weeks ago at 4:58 and the door was locked with employees inside looking at me. Tonight I made a point of stopping by earlier in case the employees wanted to run out of there before the 5 o’clock closing time. Unfortunately for me, it was 4:40 PM the doors were locked and the sign was on the door. I saw an employee in the background. I love your cheese selection, but I’m wondering if you want to sell cheese and make money with me buying cheese from you. ."

"While The Village Cheese Shop has some really nice cheese, with the exception of 2-3 local NY cheeses, every other cheese was imported and those cheeses were from Europe. I truly enjoy European cheese, but the North Fork, upstate, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding states have some amazing cheese which I was hoping that I would find at this store. It's a small store and there were 10+ people when we visited. Nice store, but we were also essentially ignored until I discovered there were no local cheeses and decided to leave at which point they tried to engage us. I'm sure that you will enjoy this store if you're looking for nice imported cheeses from Europe, but I would check out the farms and farmstands if you're searching for local cheese."

"My favorite cheese shop on the island! The staff members are very knowledgable about the cheeses they offer, which is extremely important. The labels on the cheeses have a lot of great information about what region they come from, the tasting notes, and what type of animal milk they are made from. Each time I stop in I try different cheeses. Lemon ricotta and Whitney are my favorites!"

"A delightful little shop that we visited during vacation. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable about their products, and we actual had a fun time talking to them. This shop carries a plethora of spices, cheeses, jams, and kitchen goods. It was a highlight from our trip and we are grateful for the lovely energy of the people working there."
