Review from Yvonne T.
2/25/2012 1 Check-in Here
This is my go-to place in the St. Lawrence Market when I'm looking for cheese.
This past weekend, I was looking for Smoked Mozzarella and Fontina cheese. They even saved me the work of grating it myself.
The boys behind the counter are all very knowledgeable and all very friendly. And there are always samples at the counter of whatever feature cheese they have.
They are also not slow to recommend pairings or supplementary products to go with (some may call this upselling), but I just think of it as expanding my culinary knowledge of food pairings.
If you don't have cash, you're in luck. They take plastic here ;) -

Perhaps the biggest cheese shop in SLM, Chris cheese mongers is affiliated with Alex Farms at the back of the market. They have an excellent selection of cheese here from generic standbys such as cheddar and gouda to boutique cheeses from quebec, ontario and europe.
What I like about em is that they offer good customer service compared to their Alex Farms counterparts. For one you don't feel rushed as much. The guys here are always friendly, handing out samples and offering tips on what to pair cheese with. Believe me, I got an earful from one fella when I bought some buffalo mozzarella once, he gave me some tips on a caprese salad. How cute! It's also very helpful that the display cases have descriptions of the various cheeses with notes on the region, taste and pairings. Makes selecting a cheese more fun.Listed in: Say Cheese!
