Global Cheese Shoppe

I normally go to St. Lawrence Market to buy my cheeses and other deli products but since Global Cheese is closer to me, I decided to try them. The cheese prices are nowhere displayed so when you want something you have to ask for them. Price wise some of the cheese is a little bit cheaper (sometimes $1 less per 100g) than St. Lawrence. You would think that you're saving money but when you're finally paying at the counter you will be taken aback because of how expensive it was but also wondering why the hell it looks smaller than it seems. I know they weigh them but who knows what's happening behind the counter coz you don't get to see the final weight of the cheese. The St. Andre cheese I bought also doesn't taste fresh at all. I guess I'm back to buying cheese from my fave St. Lawrence cheesemonger.

I am IN LOVE with this place. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, you can get cheese samples to guide your purchase, and they have plenty of cheeses…. Enough said! This is cheese heaven.

The staff here are very kind and helpful. Always eager to let you try a sample of their products before you purchase anything and are fantastic at giving recommendations. Solid variety of cheese and others goods, and very fair prices, way better than the big box stores. Love supporting this shop whenever I’m in the area!

Global Cheese in Toronto's Kensington Market: When it comes to cheese - you speak my language (just like the sign says.) And you have my cheese and olive oil. I really appreciated this. Please keep it rolling in from Sardinia. The staff was great and very helpful. It was a really nice way to start the day. Thank you.

Global Cheese Shop in Kensington Market is the BEST cheese shop in Toronto! It is definitely a beloved Toronto institution. I’ve tried so many delicious cheeses here thanks to the expertise and fantastic service of everyone working here. For many years I’ve been focused on raw, unpasteurized cheeses that’s been helping my health and some of these can be pricey. But it’s been a vital investment in my long term health. The staff here made it fun and educational and turned me into a big fan of so many international cheeses. Recently, Global Cheese Shop brought back their iconic, colourful signs on their windows showing special cheese deals. I was so happy to see them again and wanted to try a whole bunch of new cheeses! Out of the 6 cheeses I tried my favourites were Irish Regato, Hommage Goat Gouda and Mimolette that looked like the colour of cantaloupes! All were so delicious and nutritious. Highly recommend you visit! And when you do say hello to Manny, Rosie, Emma or Paul and tell them I sent you!

We have visited the shop twice last week: Saturday and Sunday . The reason we back on Sunday again as we bought very good cheese on Saturday and service was exceptionally good. While on Sunday there was awful service: one of the guy who served us did not give us samples to try when we asked and gave only when the other serving person push him. Moreover he did not wear the gloves and touched every piece of cheese with hos hands. To Sunday service needs to be upgrated and more customer oriented.

I went there to buy a Camembert and I asked how old was it (young and old Camembert don’t taste the same), the answer I got was ‘middle’ but when I arrived at home and opened it, found out that it was beyond old. When it’s brown like that it’s way too old, shouldn’t even be sold anymore. This shop is full of unprofessional ppl who know nothing about cheese.

We love Global Cheese on Norseman. Today we visited there for some Christmas goodies & when we got home, we got such a nice surprise - inside our bag, was a Happy Holidays bag of Cantucci - what a lovely gesture. So typical of this shop. Excellent service, excellent prices & overall great offerings for everything for entertaining. All class & great experience! Thank you! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to you!
