The new store is larger than before. However, it is lacking in customer service despite a fully staffed counter. I tried buying some stuff, but gave up due the mayhem/confusion in the store. No one knew where the line begin/end and where/how to pay. I was sent from one end to the other end to pay. Unfortunately, no one was manning the cash register. After requesting assistance several times (and was ignored or asked to wait another minute), I decided that it was not worth the effort (after waiting for over 10 minutes). If you value your time and don't care to deal with mayhem/craziness, have your cheese delivered via freshdirect and stay away from this store until management irons out the operation kinks and the staff knows what they are doing.
Pros: Good Cheese

Recommended on FoodTV, I made a pilgrimage to this store. Worth it! Great prices & service! I was allowed to take a pic. Inside. I bought cheese that was beyond words. Advice: prepare yourself w/ cheese knowledge before going. It's a small fast-paced store & it helps to know what you want in advance. However, there are MANY staffers who can suggest something better. I am going to order gift baskets for Chirstmas!

If you're looking for the finest triple cream Brie to nibble with your champagne or some Swiss Gruyere to make that quiche sing, RUN to Murray's. They have a very knowledgeable staff, a store packed to the gills with every kind of cheese imaginable, sun-dried tomatoes, marinated mozzarella, imported olives and more in this corner shop. Family owned for over two generations, it used to be on Cornelia until they moved to this bigger shop. I've been going for over 13 years now and the free samples alone keep me coming back as they welcome you to try new things with helpful suggestions and tasty nibbles. Goat cheese galore. Highly Recommend. Stop at Aphrodisia across the street for herbs and spices as well as nuts and other dried goods, the two stores compliment each other beautifully.
Pros: Reasonable Prices, Quality, Huge Selection
Cons: Often Crowded
