Now, I love a good “build your own charcuterie” experience. It’s probably my favorite thing to do. This place is PERFECT for it! They have so many options of jams, olive oils, pickled things, dips, fantastically presented cheeses and some of the BEST cured meat I’ve ever had. Max was very knowledgeable about the pairings and waus throu each type of cheese, asking if we would like it stronger or more mild and letting us get the taste for the board he was creating for us! Max made my first experience very pleasurable, and will absolutely be back because of him. (Thanks for letting me take photos:-) ) Very intimate atmosphere with an amazing selection of products. If you’re not in a rush, take your time because I guarantee you that you’ll find something you’ve never seen before.

Such a cute spot! It’s like an authentic Italian market. We bought some of their wines that were superb. But the croissants… without a doubt, the best in Boston. You can immediately tell that the butter is high quality, and they have the perfect bite and color.

It is like cheese heaven. So much to choose from. The employees are helpful. The quaint shop is what gives it its appeal; also the hand-written signage describing each cheese's characteristic.

Stopped in for breakfast sandwich while on a Boston quick trip and this spot made us want to move into the neighborhood so we could come daily and get stuff for dinner parties . Reasonable prices for such a nice spot. Breakfast sandwich was fire.

This is a must visit cheese shop in Boston. High end cheeses, meats, win, and more. Go to the back of the shop, buy a sandwich as well. Will return!!!
