5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Fantastic experience every time I go there - they record what you buy each time so you do not need to remember and the staff is always super enthusiastic and eager to expose their customers to the cheeses that best suit the event, palate, and mood. Highly recommended stop in Hillcrest

Pros: Educated, ethusiastic and warm staff makes it fun

Cons: Calories!

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Taste isn't just a cheese and gourmet store, it's an experience. They don't wait on you from behind a counter. The extremely knowledgeable and passionate owners bring the wheel of cheese to butcher block tables where they cut a taste right from the wheel. A level of service I've found nowhere else. Not only are there scores of great and unique cheeses, but they make it their goal to seek out the best olive oils, balsamicos, honeys, spices, etc. A great stop for foodies.

Editor's Review

Hillcrest cheese shop is a mecca for dinner-party hosts everywhere with all the latest in gourmet fixins'.  See the full editorial review.
