User Reviews for East Village Cheese

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

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.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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

3 Star Rating: Average

Honestly I am visiting family but EVERY time I visit it is an absolute surety that I will visit this Cheese Shop. They have a phenomenal French Feta cheese for half the price of where I am from. They also have many other really good quality cheeses and meats and their prices cannot be beat. You may have to wait in line (sometimes for 20 min or more) BUT ITS WORTH IT.

Pros: GREAT PRICES

Cons: Long lines (everyone loves this place)

I go to this place every week! It has best prices that I've found. Best place to get pita and hummus as well. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves cheese as much as I do! It's also nice to support small businesses.

Pros: Good location, great prices, great selection

Cons: Can get cramped on busy days
