The Cambridge Cheese Company

Tucked away amongst a small passage of shops in a tiny alleyway linking Bridge St and Trinity St in the heart of Cambridge and accessible only by foot, this shop offers a variety of English and continental cheeses as well as other deli goods such as olives, cured meats or freshly prepared sandwiches.
At first, the rustic décor, amazing aroma and friendly staff make it feel like a treasure trove to a cheeseoholic such as myself, but unfortunately that initial excitement quickly turns into disappointment.
Granted, the staff are very knowledgeable about cheese, but they are less skilled at the practical side of their job, such as cutting a slice anywhere near to the weight specified by their customer or adding up prices correctly. Adding this to the rather high prices to begin with, leaves one’s wallet in severe danger of starvation.

Though a cheese shop to the casual passer by it is so much more than this! As well as being the only place to buy cheese from in Cambridge it has some of the best service of any cheese shop I have ever been to, the friendly staff are more than willing to engage you in cheese related conversations. When you come out you not only know you have the cheese that you went in wanting, but you also feel slightly more enlightened than before.
The main reason for my continious visits are the sandwiches that they sell, put simply they are amazing — so popular that John’s now purchase them to sell in their bar at lunch time! They are sandwhiches made from the highest quality ingredients fresh just a little earlier that day. Both hot and cold sandwhiches are avaliable.
