I honestly don't get how this place calls itself a "cheese haus." If you're coming to Frankenmuth for cheese, do yourself a favor and skip this spot. The selection is shockingly limited--I'm talking one case of cheese! You'd find a better variety of artisan cheeses at your local Jewel or Mariano's, no joke.
To be blunt, there was a bunch of people behind the counter, cutting the cheese (LOL) literally just standing there cutting up blocks of cheese. And it looked like there was a bunch of cheese in the backroom storage area, but literally one medium size case of blocks of cheese out for customers to buy, and they were all expensive!!! $8-$30 for like 1/2 lb. Let's HOPE they were just having an off day, low in stock out on the floor or something, but even still, i would have been underwhelmed.
Honestly, only about 5% of their merchandise is actually cheese... The rest of the store is filled with random knickknacks, candy, touristy junk, some kitschy paraphernalia, and cooking tools--basically everything except cheese. I get that stores like this try to offer variety, but half of the items had zero connection to cheese at all. There was also a small section for meat and cheese-related accessories, but even that was underwhelming. You can get most of the stuff on Amazon for like half the price.
The staff were friendly enough, but the place just didn't live up to the "cheese haus" hype. If you're hoping for a great cheese selection or even a memorable cheese-shopping experience, you'll be disappointed.
