Chez Cheese Gourmet Market

I went to grab a sandwich from this place and it’s gone with no sign as to where they went. Anyone know if they relocated? I hope so since their sandwiches and cheese were great.

This place is awesome. It’s a nice respite from the expensive lunch places in Larimer Square, and literally right up the street. I love coming in here for a grilled cheese. I always trust the special and it’s never led me astray. To be honest, I haven’t even looked at a menu for the grilled cheese… I don’t even know if there is one! A few of the times I’ve been in this shop the shelves looked a little bare, but I’m only here for the cheese.
I did have one special request for the owner, I was trying to find Basajo cheese. He found it, but couldn’t procure it from any of his suppliers. Like someone else said, he was very enthusiastic throughout the whole process. I will continue to come back.

Great selection and knowledgeable staff. Their homemade mozzarella is excellent. I understand their sandwiches are great, I’ll have to go back.

I love this place and try to stop by any time I’m in the area. Fantastic sandwiches, fantastic service, and amazing cheese.
Long and fun story: The last time I was in, I asked the cheese monger behind the counter about a cheese I had heard about from a raving Welshman I met in Nepal (seriously). I didn’t know how to spell it, didn’t know what was in it, just knew I was supposed to try it. It’s pronounced «Kaus» but considering it was a Welsh cheese, was probably spelled khjecuschhhhhh. He’d never heard of it, but went the extra mile to find it. After going through a couple of cheese encyclopedias, we found it! «Caws» go figure. Anyway, he didn’t have it, and couldn’t get it, but he was certainly enthusiastic about trying.
Here’s a fun game to try next time you’re in: Ask for a sample of their current favorite. After you try it, you’ll want to buy all of it.

After today’s experience, I WILL be going back.
I don’t cook often (and by that I mean twice a year if I’m feeling adventurous), but I must have hit my head the other day and invited the boyf over for a home-​cooked meal to celebrate a big business milestone of his. Crap. After deciding what to make (Pasta Carbonara, because I’m both ambitious and crazy) and running to Vitamin Cottage last night, I unpacked my groceries just to realize I forgot the parmesan. Double crap.
I’d passed Chez Cheese several times before grabbing a bite to eat at Café Colore or ducking through the square to get to Front Porch, but I’d never had a reason to stop. Now I did.
The man behind the counter was SUPER helpful. When he asked me how much parmesan I’d need (my answer: I don’t know… I’m making carbonara… for two), he told me to hang on a sec and he’d look up the recipe so I could get what I needed. How’s THAT for customer service?! He also double-​checked that he was giving me the right amount of cheese per pound to equal the cheese per cup I would need. Delightful!
On top of that, the cheese was extremely reasonably priced, the store was adorable and welcoming, and if I still ate wheat, I would be there for a grilled cheese sandwich just about every single day. The brie and strawberry sounded DELISH.

What a neat place!
The owner is so friendly and helpful. He helped me pick out an Romano cheese which went perfectly into my risotto last night. And then he up-​sold me on some smoked cheddar. He let me taste everything and was so pleasant!
The shop has cheese, dairy, some fruits and vegetables and many other things like jams and jellies, vinegars, spices and even things like marble cutting boards. Every day, they feature a gourmet, grilled cheese sandwich served with either a piece of fruit or bagel chips. It’s a good bargain.
I wouldn’t do all my shopping here, but I love stopping in for some cheese. And it’s good to have nearby if I need to grab some milk without stopping on the way home.

After walking by Chez Cheese a million times without ever thinking to stop in, I decided to give it a try for lunch today after hearing that they had the best grilled cheese in Denver. We were greeted warmly and were quickly filled in on the grilled cheese options and the daily special. As it was my first visit, I went with the ever popular (or so I am told) cheddar and gouda with tomatoes, onion, and mustard. The sandwich was very big, flavorful, and extremely filling for a grilled cheese. (Note: I am generally an onion fan, but the raw red onions on the sandwich overpowered the other flavors. I will likely skip them next time.) Each sandwich comes with a choice of fruit and bagel chips and cost me only $ 6.50. In addition, the shop is a market with beautiful fresh flowers, a variety of spices and sauces, and a deli case full of gourmet meats and cheeses. I will definitely be stopping by again– the grilled havarti and green peppers is calling my name!

Great vegetarian options! One of the best sandwiches ever. Good deal too! Awesome customer service. I had the pepperjack, green chiles and tomato. Mm!

Best grilled cheese sandwiches you can get! AND for under $ 7, you also get a piece of fruit, and homemade bagel chips.
I stopped in here one day being terribly hungover and needing some cheesy sustenance. I got the smoked gouda, cheddar, tomato & mustard grilled cheese, and was cured after that!
Now I simply adore the brie with strawberries & jam. YUM!
The owner is super sweet and knowledgeable about cheese, and always makes my visit a pleasant one! This place is quite a jewel, tucked away in Writer Square.

Nice little shop near home. The grilled cheese sandwiches (made on a panini grill) are delicious. My cheddar/​gouda sandwich was good, and my companion loved his manchego/​genoa salami sandwich.
The fresh baguettes are good, but get there early; they sell out. You can call a day in advance and ask the owner to order you a baguette or other bread from his baker (ciabatta, sourdough, etc.). The cheese selection is diverse but not huge. He seems to focus on quality cheese that his customers want. Same with the items on the shelves. It may seem sparse, but that means you won’t get a dusty jar that’s been around for a year.
The bagel chips come from the neighboring deli. He trades his unsold baguettes to the deli (for croutons) for their leftover bagels for chips to accompany his delicious sandwiches.
While waiting for our sandwiches, we tried the most amazing white stilton with mango and ginger. We didn’t have need for it then, but one taste made us swear to go back to buy it soon.

When is the last time you went to a cheese shop?
The owner is really friendly and helped us pick an amazing Smoked Wisconsin Cheddar that was on special. We took this back to our hotel with a fresh baguette and enjoyed every morsel.
Chez Cheese offers 100’s of cheeses, breads, wines, flowers, gift cards and a variety of sausages, olives, and mustard.
Great little shop!

To find a little cheese shop like this is like finding an ice cream shop on a hot day. Only better because the people behind the counter will steer your palette towards what you want to taste and or do. Give them an idea and they will make up your own little cheese flight or make up a perfect party package of one, two or twenty. Really! Treat yourself! But buy extra. Reward yourself and everyone else for your little trip here.

I wish I had some spare change because I would spend it here for some fine delicacies. It’s the closet thing to a grocery store in LoDo for the time being, unfortunately. If you live downtown and don’t have a car, try checking this place out. Unfortunately, you’ll still have to schlepp your behind to the King Soopers in Capitol Hill or 14^th and Speer for essentials like toilet paper, but oh well.
To indulge in some gourmet tastes, come here. They serve up some gourmet cheeses (hence the name), but there’s so much more. I wanted to buy so much here. but sadly, I walked out empty handed.
What I wanted to try was some jalepeno relish (how delicious would that be on some franks?). There were many delicious looking fruit jams, spreads, and jellies. Prefect for a party or just a night at home watching movies. Also tasty crackers and chips (perhaps organic?).
I also wanted to try the assorted set of stuffed olives or maybe give them as s gift. The one that stood out to me was Cajun stuffed olives. YUM
The store also has a small selection of produce, but it looked a bit sad. If you need an apple in the middle day, come here to pick one up. It’s worth a try, I suppose.
Friendly service, always a plus in my ( Unilocal) book.
Chez Cheese is worth checking out if your palette calls for pricey, gourmet nutrients.

When I lived downtown, I had no car. Getting groceries was always a pain, having to take the bus to any major grocery store. One day that all changed: My roommate and I stumbled upon Chez Cheese and it changed the way I bought groceries.
The guys who work there are great, always helpful. The cheese is delicious. They have a good selection of spices and kitchen staples. Milk, orange juice, a variety of produce. There was not much that I needed that I couldn’t get there and it was reasonably priced.

Strawberry and brie sandwich? Surprisingly delicious. Tasty pita chips, too.
We randomly found Chez Cheese while taking a conference lunch break. Excellent location with attached coffee shop and free wifi.

If I could use letters instead of stars, I would just say mmmm. Chez Cheese is a wee market in Writer’s Square. The cutest, most Euro market I could imagine in downtown Denver. They have clotted cream and natural sodas in the fridge, flowers and fresh fruit by the door, and spices, pastas and sauces on the shelves. And, we haven’t even gotten to the best part. They have all sorts of cheeses. Not only to they have them as tasty snacks, but they will make you a SANDWICH from them. A scrumptious grilled cheese. Smoked Cheddar and Gouda anyone? Want to add some Genoa Salami? No probs.

I love samples. Samples are the way to sell my something-​I like to see exactly what I’m getting. At Chez Cheese you can sample anything behind the counter, which is a good idea. Although I haven’t had anything there that was of bad quality, I have definitely found cheeses that were not to my liking. Good cheese is expensive, but the selections here are very high quality, so you really only need a little to be satisfied-​and I say this as a man who will eat a half pound block of supermarket cheese at a sitting. Also, the local cheese wizard behind the counter will let you know which selections are not so fresh, and when new orders arrive. Prava Vecchia is my fav of the day, but I can also recommend anything with garlic in it.

I picked up some pre-​packaged Gnocchi, exotic chicken rub in a cute yellow tin can and a few slices of Smoked Cheddar. They have a cheese deli and serve up some tight Paninis. I want to try the Smoked Cheddar, Gouda, Onion, Tomato Panini served up with the mustard of the day. Yes they have a mustard of the day. Sounds lovely doesn’t it?

This place has all that special cheese selection for decent prices that you crave when you want to play at being a good cook to impress your significant, or hope-​to-​be-​soon significant other.
Small but suffecient, the produce in this place looks great, the cheese looks better, and the dude behind the counter is friendly. They even make their own cheap sandwiches… and have WI-​FI!!? That’s it. you won me over Chez and your cheeses.

A Gourmet market.

So much more than cheese! In fact, a small supermarche of sorts. Immaculately organized for comfort and fung shui-​esque flow. Flowers, vases, jams, dressings, spice. A small selection of groceries, even. Fruits! Milk! Etc. I like it. Oh, and of course, cheese! Watch out, the spicy pepperflakes look a little steep (but also, especially fresh).
