Baked Cheese Haus Raclette

Tried the cured ham one at their stall in the Bryant Park Winter Village. The line was looong, and it took about 45 minutes to finally get the order. The staff was working as quick as possible though trying to keep up with the line. The price of 18USD for a sandwich with just melted raclette didn’t cut it for me. They said it comes with gherkins, mustard and spring onions but they barely put anything in the baguette. Wasn’t worth the hype for me. It just looks tempting is all.

Waited on line for longer than I’d care to admit to try this bad boy.. We got the jambon with all the toppings (green onion, gherkins, Dijon mustard). Honestly, way over hyped. The bread was fresh and hot cheese is hot cheese, but the ham was like one morsel and overall the sandwich was bland. It needed much more Dijon and the bread needed more crust/crunch. I give it a solid “meh.”

One of the stalls in Bryant park Christmas village. The wait is long but it goes by fast. Very cool watching them make the sandwiches. Got one with salami and all toppings. The bread is fresh. Soft on the inside and crunch on the outside. The cheese is melty. Great snack to get. My bf and I both enjoyed it. Got to eat it fast on a cold winter day thought because it does cool down fast.

Waited 5 min in line after 2 pm on a Friday. It's fine, overrated in my opinion. Also felt like they skimped on the cheese and ham for $20. Wouldn't order again.

Delicious sandwich. Waited over an hour to make a purchase. Would we do it again? Probably. We met several interesting people while we waited in line - Which made the time go by almost painlessly. The cost was $58.79 for two sandwiches, one water and one Coke Zero. Employees were friendly. I was impressed at how well they handled the sheer volume of customers - and sandwich preparation.

Decent spot although a little overhyped and definitely overpriced. Cheese was good, bread was okay. Would give them a try though if you’re in the area.

Nearly 45 minute wait in line for a sandwich that was just ok, the food is bland and quite frankly this place was underwhelming despite the hype built around it. The cheese was good, but the meats used taste processed and generic similar to what a supermarket sells. The standout is the melted part on that first bite, but nothing memorable flavor wise.

We visited the Bryant park winter village just to try the raclette. They have two small shops in the winter village and the one we went to offered the cheese on potatoes (the other shop had the baguette). It was a very unique dish and it's nice to see how they make it as well. Worth trying once for sure!

I haven't visited the original locations of this specialty store, but I've had plenty of their delicious raclette baguettes. Baked Cheese Haus has a stall at Boston's Snowport holiday market every year, and I always make it a point to visit at least once or twice, and if I'm lucky- sometimes more! These foot-long raclette-stuffed baguettes are incredibly tasty, with just a few simple ingredients that come together perfectly. My favorite is the traditional version, featuring gooey melted raclette cheese, gherkins, scallions, and Dijon mustard inside a toasty, crispy, and chewy baguette. It's perfect for cold weather, but honestly, I'd enjoy it anytime!

Stopped by the Baked Cheese Haus at Bryant Park Winter Village today. I ordered the Bresaola and it was mediocre. There was very little filling overall. For example, they only put a thin slice of cured beef and a medium amount of melted cheese. It was mainly bread! I don't think it's worth $19 considering it's an average tasting sandwich. In addition, the service time took about 20 minutes to make. Service/staff rate 5/10. The only cool thing about it is its iconic melted cheese wheel that gets slathered onto the sandwich. Otherwise, there's nothing special about this food stand. I would definitely go check out other food options at Bryant Park during the holidays.

This has been a viral restaurant at Bryant Park Holiday Market and it did not live up to the hype for me. It was a $20 grilled cheese on a baguette. The line was wrapped around the corner to order and then a 15+ minute wait to get the food. The burnt cheese smell was over powering while waiting for the food. Probably not something I would order again but was a fun experience.

About a 1-1.5: The Baked Cheese Haus was one of those places that went viral, so everyone and their mother needed to check this place out at the Christmas Village (including me - HA!). This place offers raclette, which is melted alpine cheese on a toasted baguette, with the option of adding spring onions, baby gherkins, and/or dijon mustard to your choice of protein, if you'd like. Their menu is straightforward and simple: the Jambon Cru has cured ham; the Saucisson Sec has cured salami; and, the Traditionnel is just the raceltte on the baugette, making this a vegetarian option. They also have two drinks: the Hot Apple Cider Chai and the Caramel Apple Spice Cider. We shared the Saucisson Sec - could have had more of the melted cheese and be evenly distributed throughout the split baguette, instead of having a mound of it on top. Also, the sliced cured salami wasn't much, as it seemed like it only had 2 slices or so. The adding of the spring onions, the baby gherkins, and the dijon mustard was a good choice, but I wished it could be requested for extra/more of these. The baguette itself could have been more toasty, as it was more on the chewy side; also, it was just a lot of bread. Staff were efficient in taking orders, but it does take a while to get your items - the line is super long! It was fun to watch the scraping off the cheese wheel and the preparation of the sandwiches. +overhyped +efficient staff +long lines

Just go!! Jambon cut in half is the best. Expect a little bit of a line but totally worth it!

Great!!!! I waited on a line, weekday about 2pm, not too long a wait. Worth it!! Delicious!!!! I ordered the Apple Cider chai which was the closest to hot Apple cider and it was great. I ordered the Jambon-the first item on the menu--it has ham, raclette cheese, nice and melted, mustard, gherkins. Absolutely fantastic delicious!!! And, they take Apple Pay! Yay! Enjoy my photos and brief video.

Finally after what feels like 2-3 years of waiting, I was able to experience a raclette and see what the hype was about this winter. I'm sure you've seen those insta reels on these too! Sad to say, it felt a bit over-hyped. The line was too long, was filled with too many European tourists cutting and adding in their whole extended family, the baguette was kinda meh and too floury, there wasn't much cheese except in the front for show, they only put three little baby gherkins, the ham was tough, gristly, and gross, and overall wasn't worth the experience. The cheese itself was pretty good and I could've definitely used more in mine, which just felt like an empty bread sandwich with mustard. I super wanted to like this place and maybe everyone was just tired that morning, but meh.

Increíble as everyone has mentioned , chewy and gooey perfect hits the spot, best ambiance of Bryant park. Service was quick and efficient

ooookay, i get it. It taste just as good as it looks. It is simple flavors that remind me of Europe. We went here because my mom saw a video on facebook reviewing it. It was a bit difficult to locate. You'll find it at the end of the food buildings near the ice skating rink. There is a very long queue, but it moves quickly. They take cash or card and you get a show while you wait. The show being the cheese scarp for sandwiches before yours. Pretty pricing considering the size and ingredients; but memories with my mom are always priceless.

This had been high on my daughter's list of places to eat after seeing Tik Tok videos of the sandwiches being made. It's truly a unique experience! We were in Bryant Park shopping at the Christmas market, and managed to be near the front of the line when Baked Cheese Haus opened. We selected the standard sandwich - a foot long hoagie with thin sliced meat, covered in melted cheese, then finished with dijon mustard and mini pickles. So very tasty & like nothing we'd had before. If you're in Bryant Park during the holidays, definitely try!

Cheese is delicious, super toasted bread not soggy at all. Ordering was very quick but the booth was packed and there was a long wait for the food, to no fault of the employees, just the sheer amount of orders coming in. Extremely delicious and I would wait again for it!

$17 for bread, cheese and ham. I don't know why I expected more or for it to taste out of this world. Line was long. Took forever to get the sandwiches to be made because the workers were using a heat lamp to melt the cheese. This place went viral due to social media. The whole market is a bust. Overpriced food.

Such a fun experience! The line to order goes quick but there is definitely a little wait to get your sandwich. However, it is so fun to watch all the sandwiches be made and it is definitely worth the wait for the delicious sandwich!

I was lucky enough to go to Bryant Park on a Monday, so not a crazy wait. Loved this! Very simple sandwich with cheese, mustard and ham but the cheese is amazing quality and flavor, the staff was super nice and also very quick to assemble. I would definitely go back and have more

Ode to my arteries! Raclette cheese scrape is quite a performance and bucket list item. It is an experience satisfied once and ... am good with that. Fresh alpine raclette cheese wheel, melted....and scarped onto a baguette, add your fixings like Jamón (prosciutto), Dijon mustard and a few gherkins, and green scallions. THE EXPERIENCE AND SERVICE WAS BEYOND IMAGINABLE. Long lines and I know why. The workers sang, danced, were in a festive mood and demonstrated teamwork. Imagine this...a long lightly toasted baguette, prosciutto on one side and then the scraping of the melted cheese.. yum... oh my... and before handing the baguette to you... the melted cheese is scraped onto the top of the baguette which was nicely wrapped and ready for a bite! I wish there was more prosciutto, and the cheese scraped onto the inside of the baguette was a very thin spread. I tasted the cheese on top of the sandwich, but not in every bite. This was definitely an experience and I can cross it off my list.

Delicious, unique (for NYC at least) but a bit pricey for what it is. It's essentially a melted cheese sandwich with ham or salami and some interesting condiments sprinkled in there. I got the racklette sandwich with salami, it came with mustard, pickles and a hit of spring onions, which to my surprise worked out really well. The richness from cheese was cut nicely by the pickle, mustard and spring onion. I would definitely get this again, just wish it were priced better

It's almost like Mr. Internet heard me talking about going to NYC for Xmas, cuz I kept getting pop-ups on IG for the raclette Sammy at Baked Cheese Haus (BCH)...eerie! Anyway, I made BCH my bucket list destination and went to the Bryant Park location on a chilly Saturday afternoon the last weekend before Christmas. I found it right away due to the huuuge waiting line (ah, the power of viral marketing!). The line did, however, did go fast as the employees in the truck were HUSTLING! The warm gooeyness of the cheese covering the ham and toasted baguette were very welcome in the chilly weather. I washed it down with a hot & delicious chai apple cider. This experience was 4-star good, with the long queue and price taking it down a star. FYI, BCH also was at Union Square in the Village, and the line was just as long there as well. Glad I tried BCH, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

The line was not too crazy in the winter village...staff was very efficient as well. The wait for the sandwich not too bad either (no more than 7-10 minutes). Watching the staff scrape the cheese totally cool. The sandwich itself was delicious with the prosciutto and cheese. Perfect size and great for all the cheese lovers. Would come back definitely.

Stopped in around 4:30 to avoid the crowds and because I skipped lunch. The staff members were accommodating the woman in front of me who had several food allergies. They patiently showed packaging and walked through each of the ingredients. This was my first Raclette experience and it was fantastic. The fresh Raclette was shaved over about 10 boiled and halved red potatoes. The jambon cru is like prosciutto. I recommend this but they have a few options. After the gooey cheese is melted on a healthy portion of pepper is added on top. It's served with tiny gerkins or baby salty pickles. The warm cheese does cool quickly in the NY December, but there are ample tables around and space (@4:30pm on a Tuesday). Enjoy this hot and tip generously - it's cold outside!

Omg cheese!!!! Baked cheese haus a specialty cheese maker bringing you the joy of Swiss made cheese to fairs and holiday markets around the country. I was able to find them at the Bryant Park holiday market and get their traditional Raclette sandwich. A crisp baguette with melty gooey raclette cheese, scallions, mini pickle and Dijon mustard. Now if I could eat this every day I would! It was light, simple and filling! The flavors were balanced so perfectly it was the best walking meal you could enjoy with one hand. If you see them at any location give it a try you won't be disappointed!

The cheese was so fresh and soft that it melted in my mouth right when I took a bite. We ordered the jambon cru and the portion was good for the price, but after a few minutes outside, the whole raclette turned into a rock and impossible to eat so we unfortunately had to throw it away.

We found this place while walking around at Bryant Park during their Holiday Market. At first, the smell was not very appetizing, and I did hear people skipping this place while I was standing in line because of the smell, but honestly, it was worth it. The smell of the cheese is definitely strong, but the flavor is very much better. We ordered the Traditional Suisse Raceltte and enjoyed some caramel apple spice cider while waiting for our order. The cider was delicious. I'm not very into cider, but this one changed my whole perspective. The Raceltte was also good. We did the traditional because we didn't want any of the toppings to overpower the flavor of the cheese or something. It was a bit pricy for some potatoes with melted cheese on top, but it's worth the try.

It's sad that this company is so brazen about the minimal amount of raclette cheese that they serve in relation to how expensive it is. Almost $18 with tax for a tiny bit of raclette on a few potatoes or thick French baguette. But they trick you into thinking it's a lot more on the baguette by smearing some on top of the sandwich. Don't be fooled, there's just a smear inside. Don't believe me? Watch them make it. If it was reasonably priced, this tactic might be acceptable, but this is highway robbery. Poor people and tourists who are visiting get taken advantage of because Baked Cheese Haus know they're not serving repeat customers. I'm 99% sure this isn't AOP raclette from Switzerland either (which could be a bit of a justification for the price). Do not get ripped off, just buy your own raclette melter and cheese and potatoes/bread and have it at home.

This beat my expectations! Despite being on the pricey side for a sandwich, it tasted great. Liked the hint of mustard. The flavors reminded me of a cuban sandwich, but with much less meat.

The line was too long and takes about 30-40min. I think this place a bit over-hyped. Nothing special just a sandwich with cheese but overpriced. Also, this place a little bit dirty

Only open during the Bryant Park Holiday Fair ( during the winter) We got the Ham Raclette. It was delicious with the cheese as the best part. Yeah, the cheese is smelly, but sooo worth it. However, an hour long wait, kind of ridiculous for a sandwich. Would only get again if the wait was less than 30 min.

We were visiting Winter Village at Bryant Park and looking for something to eat. As soon as I saw this spot, I knew I wanted to try it. My husband and I split the Saucisson Sec sandwich. It was literally dropping with cheese and oh so delicious. It was my first time having raclette, but it definitely won't be my last. If you like cheese, you won't be disappointed.

It was very good, but pretty overpriced. $18 for 2 thin slices of ham, and some cheese on a hero. Not worth the hour wait, if the line isn't so long, despite being overpriced, it's worth trying, but not worth the wait.

Beware! You might he repelled by the smell of melting cheese, and this might quickly escalate to the top of "the nastiest things you smelled" list. But dont let this stop you from trying it. But dont raise the expectations too high either. We waited in-line for 30-45minutes fighting through the ugly smells of grilled Racellete cheese. The food: we had the traditional veggi, wasnt anything i'd come back running for.

We ate at the UNION SQUARE HOLIDAY MARKET. What an amazing sandwich! This location should be your point of destination. Gooey toasted cheese on a fresh baguette that has a slightly crunchy crust and soft bread. The salty prosciutto delicately matched with the mini-pickles (gerkins?), chives, and dressing. Very reasonably priced. You absolutely have to devour this sandwich immediately after it is handed to you while it is hot. I wish we bought more than one. I have dreams about this sandwich.

My nickname--given to me by my wife-- is "Cheese man" because of my love and obsession with cheese. And the Saucisson Sec--salami and raclette on baguette--hit me right in my cheese spot.

There's a reason there's a line and everyone taking pix!! This sandwich was amazing!! So hearty and filling on a chilly day in November! Staff are super kind and the sandwich was just perfect! Melty cheese, soft but crunchy warm bread, gherkins, dijon, thinly sliced ham, and spring onions - such an amazing combination!! The Jambon Cru was $17 and worth every penny! Wish I had gone back for another!!

We were walking in Bryant Park Christmas Market and we were smelling melted cheese, walked the corner and came across this Reclette stand. The cheese smells so good! It had us buy the Jambon Cru sandwich which has melted Alpine cheese raclette scraped over cured ham, on a toasted baguette with spring onions, baby gherkins, and Dijon mustard. OMG! It was amazing! The cheese tasted so gooey and the baguette was fresh, and the ham was just so flavorful! I wish they have this place open all year long!

Don't be afraid of the stinky cheese smell that emanates from the pop up food stall (seasonally located in Bryant Park or at Broadway Bites). I really wanted to try some raclette but it sort of smelled like something dead so it put me off for a long time before I sucked it up and finally tried it. I got the alpine brat - good sized authentic bratwurst with dijon and gherkins on a crusty baguette smothered in ooey gooey cheese. NOM! The gherkins balance it out nicely and give some crunch. Does not taste how it smells, would get again.

It was fun, great service and atmosphere. I would recommend just the Raclette because with the Jamon it was salty. Also maybe ask for extra cornichons.

Have you ever wanted to consume the equivalent of happiness in units of cheese? Each one of Baked Cheese Haus' raclettes contains more melted cheese than should ever rationally be sandwiched between two sides of bread. That in itself is nearly enough reason to make a visit... A friend and I shared the traditional raclette. I'd thought there would be more meat, but I'm glad there wasn't; the flavor would have been thrown off balance. The spring onions and baby gherkins added a light pickled flavor and spice to contrast with the richness of the meat and cheese; and all this wrapped up with a nice spread of dijon holding everything together. Perfection. I'm not sure what more I could say to make you hustle to Baked Cheese Haus if you've already seen pictures of the raclettes... assuming you're not an avid cheese hater (it's okay, we all have our flaws), or lactose intolerant beyond the saving grace of lactate pills... why are you still reading this? Is it to confirm that the toppings are tasty? (Yes; I can't pronounce half of the toppings or raclette names either, but I can eat them, which is what really matters.) Or to confirm that you won't have to give up coffee for a year to afford this delight, despite its location in a holiday market with true price gouging spirit? (You won't; the raclettes run from $10-15ish and are easily split between two as a snack or light meal.) Maybe you're checking about the line... okay yeah, fair. It's been decently quiet when I've stopped by at dinner hours on weekdays, but weekends are another beast entirely. I'm sure it'll get more chaotic as the holidays approach, so plan accordingly. In sum: If it's somehow not entirely obvious, I am a fan of Baked Cheese Haus. Please go and enjoy one of their hot, perfectly toasted sandwiches of happiness for me. (Why are you still reading this? Go to Baked Cheese Haus yesterday.)

This places exceeded my expectations. Was looking for a quick snack to eat while walking around and it was perfect. Easy to eat, crispy bread, and a delicious blend of flavors with the gherkin and scallion added to the ham sandwich

This was at Bryant Park for the Winter Village, and it's definitely worth checking out! It's a small booth, and though they do work efficiently, it can take some time to get your sandwich if crowded. Jambon Cru $13: Menu board says cured ham but it's basically prosciutto. Yum! They spread the warm raclette inside the sandwich, and finish off with an extra dollop of raclette on top for good measure. The baguette is also perfectly crispy. Pair it with their hot apple cider chai $4 for a tasty lunch!

In the winter of 2019 my family and i stumbled upon this little raclette booth at Gallagher Way Christmas Market while ice skating. My kids thought their raclette sándwiches were the best food they ever tasted. Ever. One of my kids talked about it non stop for over a years I tried contacting them to consider a private party for us last summer with no response. Today i finally took the family back to Gallagher Way and sure enough the booth was there again. The raclette was as delicious as we all remembered. 13$ for the sándwich but a very big portion and worth the spurge in price and calories. They also have a location at the Daley Center Christmas Market too supposedly.

literally so good i went twice! always a long line but usually takes 15 minutes or less depending on your place in line. always a fast line despite the wait. ordering is super easy and if you tip they'll give you extra cheese or add more love to your order in general. both times i got the ham raclette with the spiced caramel apple cider. the sandwhich is insanely good and worth the price, especially on a cold day. with that said the most underrated thing was the cider, my favorite out of all the holiday market ones i've tried. highly recommend coming here if you love cheese.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: n/a Overall: yummy little snack! Who could resist warm cheese on a bratwurst!?!?! The extended review... Food: Alpine brat - like I said in my overall comment. Who can say no!? The cheese was melting at my fingertips. Service: friendly staff. Ambiance: well it's outdoors so it can be nice weather dependent.

Went to Baked Cheese Haus in the Wrigleyville Christkindlmarket. I ordered the Jambon Raclette, when asked if I wanted toppings I said no. The employee then added all toping's while I said 'no' 5 times. Then when the manager came by because I kept saying no. The employee said I said yes to toppings-which I didn't. When I told the manager I said no, the employee remade my sandwich and the manager told me to say no before they make the sandwich which I did. They did not apologize at all. They did not listen to my instructions and tried to blame me for THEYRE mistake. Terrible service.

Okay. I'm writing a poor review based on their attitude. I've worked in so many places that involves customers/people and have NEVER in my life yelled at anybody under ANY circumstance (even if I was being yelled at). The older lady working there had the audacity to scream at me after I said 'Hi' to her and told me that she had to take care of other people but I was the only person on line... and then the other guy working there was yelling at her to cut more bread instead of taking orders... Anyways then they demanded me to tip them lol... ?? Yeah maybe, if you were nice to me in the beginning and not when I'm paying. P.S. the wait is EXTREMELY long... over 40 minutes to 1 hour of waiting. I probably won't be back at this location. Onto the food... I ordered the Traditional ($11) which was decent- it had Raclette, crispy bread, and some baby gherkins. The dijon was slightly stronger and didn't seem as cheesy as I remember.

When you see a long line at Bryant park your wonder why? Well once you've experience the sandwich's at this stall you aren't left wondering for long. It is simple at heart but is it executed well. For each handcrafted sandwich you get to see them broil the top of a alpine cheese whee and scoop that cheesy goodness in a freshly warmed baguette. I had gotten the traditional with all the basic toppings and they got the perfect complimentary flavors. The Dijon added a bit of spice and the pickles acidity cut through the heavy cheese. Speaking of the cheese- do not skimp out and thank goodness for that since it was probably the creamiest and gooiest cheese I've had- with some surprises of brunt topping. Overall would 100% recommend stopping by here.

Super long wait but it was definitely worth it. The sandwiches are dense but so delicious. The cornichons, mustard + scallions helped cut through the heaviness of the sandwich. If you want to wait in the long line, it's definitely worth it but if you don't feel like waiting for an hour don't bother.

I have been waiting for this sandwich for a year now. Find a winter market and go explore. Check out their website and see a video of this sandwich. Anyone who likes cheese and bread will love this. They start with a nice crunchy baguette. Sit that on top of a heater while melting cheese. Add whatever toppings you want. I get ham. And scrape melted cheese all over. So good!! My one thing that took a star off. I wish they had more meat.

Located at Winter Village in Bryant Park (Vendor S18) They have three different options of sandwiches you can choose from: Either bratwurst, cured ham, or vegetarian which come with melted Raclette scraped onto a toasted baguette with spring onions, baby gherkins, and dijon! AH-MAZING!! I love how you can watch them prepare each sandwich and watch the cheese being melted and scraped off the wheel right in front of you, definitely a sight to see! The only unfortunate part is the wait is extremely long due to the time it takes for the cheese to melt, but its worth it!

I'm obsessed with these sandwiches! I was checking out the holiday market at Union Square this past Christmas and smelled this wonderful smelly cheese and I stopped to find out where it was coming from. I watched them melt the cheese and spread it on baguettes for a while and then ordered the Jambon. OMG, it was so melty and delicious, I loved the addition of mustard and tiny pickles. After my first one I went here at least twice a week because I new the Holiday market wouldn't be here all year. I equally enjoyed the Jambon (Ham) and the Sausisson ( Salami). The girls that worked there would laugh and thought it was funny that I came so many times. Yelp says it's closed but I'm pretty sure that's only because it's a seasonal place. I hope it opens again for the 2018 Holiday season or I will be very sad. Sometimes when I was there the line would be long but totally worth it.
