Naysayers be gone!

by kenobebe1 at Citysearch

EVC has been the ONLY place that I have bought cheese for the past 5 years. Do not heed the negative reviews, just b/c the cheese here is not 25$ per pound does not mean it is bad by any extent. Whenever I bring cheeses from here over a friend's house or party I ALWAYS get rave reviews. The cheese is literally dirt cheap with the sales items going for 2-4$ per pound and the most expensive cheese is usually about 12-14$ per pound. This place is a godsend and is always crowded for good reason!

• Pros: Cheap, delicious cheese
• Cons: No tasting before buying (but who cares they're all great!)

Not for serious cheese lovers

I realize that the price is right at this cheese store, but it is so for a reason....these are not good cheeses. Most are processed junk like havarti and provolone. The rest tend to be past their prime (I bought one covered in mold-and not the kind welcome in cheese). If you are looking for anything gourmet-worthy, this shop with just disappoint.

Crazy Prices

How do they get their cheese so cheap? Honestly, 2 lbs of french brie for $1....doesn't it cost that much just to ship it from France? This place is awesome, perfect for starving students, artists and anyone else who needs an inexpensive cheese fix.

• Pros: Insanely low prices
