Gourmage

Experts on wine, world wide chocolate and cheese. You'll love it, it's right in the heart of new braunfels. It's a must if you want to have the full old Germany experience. You won't be disappointed. The place is cozy and cute, with a nice view of the main street.

Recently, I was in New Braunfels on a friends trip. We went to Gourmage for an afternoon break. The staff was AMAZING. I cannot say enough about their knowledge of their chocolate, wines and cheese. Their recommendations were spot on. This place is awesome!

Absolutely delicious and wonderful service! Undoubtedly the best cheese selection in town and by far the only must try cheese and wine store in NB. Plan on ordering a charcuterie board- the best! We love the people and they are always so accommodating to large parties. We shop and eat here a lot…if you’re visiting our town, drop by this NB treasure and enjoy! Cheers!

Lovely wine, cheese, and chocolate shop in New Braunfels. Lovely decor and space to sit back and enjoy the yummy selections inside the store. Perfect for a wine tasting or snack while out shopping in town. The owner was sweet and gave recommendations for cheese pairings and let us sample the cheeses before we bought them. I would come here again with some friends to hang out.

I truly enjoyed returning here. It was once again a very relaxing and wonderful place to have a couple of glasses of wine. There is a great wine selection to choose from. The food portion of the menu is fabulous and delicious! To end our visit with some delicious chocolate was the finishing touch! Thank you to the owner. She was so charming. See you soon!!

My heart be still. This venue specializes in chocolate, cheese, and wine. I stopped in during a shopping day for a much needed chocolate break. I relaxed on an arm chair while I people watched and enjoyed the Christmas decor on San Antonio street. The chocolate was divine. I will most definitely be back and will bring friends. Every town should have a Gourmage.

Great place with great wine and cheese! Took the family and everyone including the guests were friendly and the place was comfortable.

We had wonderful visit with bottle of wine and cheese board! Great customer service. I'm seeing some reviews taking about soups and sandwiches- this isn't that kind of place, I think those reviews are on wrong establishment! Everything was fantastic!

Such a good atmosphere. Love the cheese and chocolates. The hummis plate make a good meal too. The service is top notch.

We were gifted a cheese making class. It was such an experience for a foodie like me. Stephanie was so sweet and informative and walked us through the process. We each made 5 four ounce servings. It was a good amount of cheese for us each to take home. After we walked to the farmers market to get fresh basil. I would highly recommend this class!!

How did I not know this was in New Braunfels? Very nice, relaxing stop for a nice glass of wine and an assortment of delicious cheese.

This place is a gem! The owner is the loveliest lady. Wine a cheese was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this place. Love wine and wedge Wednesday!

Staff was super nice, helpful and very friendly. All I went to was for their ciabatta bread which was frozen. Once I got him put them in the oven and it was delicious. They have an amazing assortments of wonderful things.

Absolute gem. If you're lucky enough to find yourself in Gourmage you won't be disappointed. Stephanie the owner is professional and kind. It's a cozy spot to split a bottle, or grab a glass of wine before dinner out. They also have cheese/meat plates, and delicious chocolate treats. Wednesday's they have a wine and cheese pairing which is always thoughtfully selected. Happy hour daily from 3-6. This has become my new favorite spot.

Gourmage is a Parisian inspired cheese shop and lunch spot nestled in the historic downtown center of New Braunfels. The place is full of wine knick-knacks and gear like pouters, chiller sticks, glassware etc. You naturally can also grab from some choices of wine by the glass or bottle. The employees literally couldn't be nicer if they tried. They love wine and cheese and all the joy that they bring. When asked about the three cheese samples they had out they replied with pure glee. Stating such descriptors as, "amazing" "delicious" "it even looks beautiful!" Their cheese of the week was marked at 20% off, might be a regular thing which is cool. It was a Murcia al Vino. A deep purple wine soaked exterior that as the employee put it, "fades to a wonderful snowy white when you get to the center." While here I grabbed a grilled cheese since they just won the Best of the Wurst award for their grilled cheese. It was quite adorable at $6.75 for a sandwich and chips. I selected the havarti with rosemary ham. It was a little thinner of a sandwich than I'm used to by Texas standards but the cheese was a plenty and filling so I left quite happy. Other choices were Manchester with prosciutto and fig and even a special jalapeño popper inspired grilled cheese. If you're looking for a lovely quick and delicious lunch spot while in New Braunfels then look no further. Grab some cheese for the road while you're here.

Gourmage is a charming little wine (very respectable selection; sold by glass in store or bottle to go) and cheese shop located on the main street (actually San Antonio St.) through New Braunfels. They have a variety of imported and U.S. cheeses (sometimes the selection is better than others; depends on when they receive shipment). They also make in-house mozzarella! All of the staff are super nice and very willing to give you a sample of anything you might be considering. Their offerings range the gamut from triple creams to bleus to aged and everything in between. One of the main reasons I usually stop in is because they carry one of the best aged goudas I have had outside of the Netherlands. Since the Pittag is so good, and that I don't get to visit very often, I usually buy every last ounce! Cheese head here for sure! The prices per lb at Gourmage are comparable to other shops I've been to, and I would state they are even a little more reasonable than some. Gourmage offers several other gourmet goodies including dips, jams, coffee, tea, olives, and more. Their inventory changes frequently. I would be remiss not to mention the large selection of chocolates they also case, including some beautiful artisan truffles. And, never a moment to be bored for the shopaholics out there (looking at mirror). They carry the most delightful and fun tea towels, wine accessories, and such. There are a few tables in the tiny shop where you may sit and enjoy wine or other beverage of choice AND from 11-2:30 Monday through Friday they serve "light lunch" items - usually a special of the day. Grilled cheese? Why, of course. Salads, soups...and one time they were kind enough to pack me up some Bleu Cheese Man n' Cheese to take home even they don't really have containers for such. Above and beyond customer service. When we're in NB, I always tell my husband "I'm just going to run in and grab some cheese and a truffle for you." Inevitably, about 30 minutes and at least $40 later, I walk out with a variety of items. Seeded bee honey, anyone? ;) I had to try it, right? Cheers!

My family and I visited last Friday night. Just as an FYI 1- they no longer serve sandwiches 2- please don't ask about the sandwiches. The employee was very snippy when she informed us that sandwiches were no longer being served. The chocolates did look delicious but I was so turned off by the employees attitude that I didn't even bother to order any.

You cannot find a better baguette anywhere. Okay maybe in Europe or New York... but this is exceptional bread right here in the middle of Texas!!!! The cheese selection is amazing and there are all sorts of delicious goodies too. They even offer cheese making classes! Excellent service, cheerful staff- great spot.

Love this place! Great for a "wine down" after a long day at work. The cheeses are excellent and a nice selction of wine. Highly recommend the ham and cheese sandwiches along with a caprese salad. The staff is helpful in recommending a nice wine to accommodate your food selection. Cute items for additional purchases to take home or give as gifts. Give this place a try. I think you'll enjoy the atmosphere and the delicious cheese selections to enjoy there or take home.

Great sandwiches and Mac and cheese. We were in the area and decide to stop by. They have cheeses, delectable chocolates and great lunch selections. We will be back soon.

Every meal is consistent with excellent quality, creative imagination, super smiling service! A local owner and operator, this restaurateur knows how to meet the needs of her community through food and fun! Nothing missing here for me except when I miss a week eating here.

What an amazing find after seeing an ad that said they were voted to have the best grill cheese sandwich in NB. (We are new to the area) The three of us each tried a different version of the sandwich & all three were equally impressed. I had the jalapeño popper version & it was melt in your mouth delicious ! The owner was extremely friendly and helpful; outstanding service was a bonus. The shop also has many other delectable offerings as well as cute wine & cheese accessories. Certain to return many times!

Always liked this place. Best cheese in town that I know of. Fig jam is pretty tasty too.

I usually get the Roast Beef with Au Jus, which I love. But today I had the Roasted Red Pepper Soup and a salad with Earl Gray vinaigrette. It was awesome. The soup had so much flavor, perfectly balanced. The home made croutons really make the salad special and the piece of bread that came with was a good quality baguette slice with just the right crisp around the edges.

A great place for a gourmet sandwich, a gift, a bottle of wine or gourmet ice cream. Fun, casual environment, but a super snooty selection of fine cheeses.

I went in on valentines to grab cheese for dinner and I had a girl named leta help me out and she was AWESOME! The store was crazy busy and she was very busy herself, but she still met me with a kind smile and pointed me in the right direction. Thank you gourmage for hiring such awesome and helpful staff and thank you Leta for choosing to be kind on such a busy day. -DH

We stopped in because I love cheese and the women running the store was the sweetest person i've encountered in a very long time. So nice inside and there's a lot of rad stuff. Thank you, definitely stop by if you are looking for a nice time. Beautiful desserts too!!!

What a find! I had bookmarked Gourmage after reading some positive Yelp reviews awhile back, and finally had a chance to try it while passing through New Braunfels. I was having a terrible time trying to decide between all the delicious sounding grilled cheeses. One with havarti, one with a chimay cheese, and one with manchego. Ultimately, I opted for the manchego with a side salad. Solid choice. They use a generous portion of melt-friendly cheese on these sammies, and I love that they aren't overwhelmingly large, just in case you want a truffle or croissant at the end of your visit. Something that was obvious from the get-go, these ladies really know their customers, and if they don't know you, they get to know you. I had the most pleasant conversation with one while she explained the place to me, and then watched her greet every customer by first name as I worked away on my laptop (yes- free wifi!). If I lived in NB, this would be a go-to place for lunch, gifts, or a cheese tray for that upcoming social gathering.

Got here at 5:58pm. The door was locked. Lady inside just waved and stayed on her phone. I wasn't there to eat. I just wanted to grab some cheeses before getting home. How rude. Why not try and cater to the people who get off work late and wanted to try this place out. I always get the best cheeses from Austin but this place just ruined my first experience. I get it...I was cutting it close, but if you don't care about a customer than why should I ever offer you my business. Yikes! What a nightmare.

I cannot get enough of this place!! Best cheese shop in central texas in my opinion :) Recently they catered for my wedding a large cheese spread for cocktail hour. Stephanie was fantastic every step of the way. The guests loved it! Huge thanks to Gourmage for helping make our wedding unforgettable!

I may be biased because these wonderful people were the best neighbors during my year spent in New Braunfels, but I know if Tourist Samantha wandered in seeking good wine recs and good cheese, she would come away more than satisfied and super happy to have met such fantastic cheese mongers. Will and Jan have a true passion for their customers and for their craft. They will help you find the wine for you among their chosen selection, and you can try any cheese you like. And when I say cheese, I don't mean "white" or "yellow." I mean CHEESE. Grab a picnic basket, a baguette, your favorite vino, some dessert, and even gourmet dog biscuits for Spot before you head to Landa to soak up some pre-fall action. And tell them I said hello! **Update: Gourmage is moving! Stop by their new location at 270 W. San Antonio (just right down the road)...still New Braunfels....still just as awesome!

A wonderful wine and cheese shop in downtown New Braunfels. Gourmage has a wonderful array of cheeses, chocolates, and other gourmet items. They also make amazing sandwiches. I recommend any of the grilled cheeses, which are very affordable. Their selection of wine is great and they also have a few bombers/liters of local beer for those of us who don't drink wine.

Where do I even begin with this gem? I love everything about this shop;) The front of the store has a cute old bike ready to be taken out for a stroll! I always walk in to smiling faces and a knowledable staff. If cheese, wine, foreign ingredients intimidate you. You have found your place to shop. Taste the cheese before you buy it, even swap recipe ideas. They carry my Oranginas which i cant find anywhere in NB. Join them on Saturdays for great wine tastings and cheese pairings. Will and Jan are the owners, thank you for bringing this business to New Braunfels!

What a great little shop in the middle of historic downtown New Braunfels! I mean what's not to like??? Wine, cheese, chocolate! Um, yes please! They have a great cheese selection and even better they are willing to let you taste without feeling like you are begging for a handout! They also have an incredible candy (mostly chocolate) counter with turtles, fudge, toffee bars, and....homemade marshmallows! The wine selection could be a little better, but there is some variety. They are very helpful and even more knowledgeable about the wines, flavors, and pairings. And bonus, they do serve lunch! Great sandwiches and soups!

My wife is a cheesehead. She lives for cheese, chugs entire gallons of milk, and roots for the Green Bay Packers. The Gouda macaroni and cheese set her heart a flutter like a Tiffany ring. She did not stop licking her lips all afternoon.

Delicious little wine and cheese shop. The gourmet cheeses are awesome as well as the goat cheese and pear salad. Excellent service would do again.

Try the manchego with prosciutto and fig! It's is simply divine. My guy got the havarti with rosemary ham and it was incredible as well. A diamond hidden in downtown New Braunfels!

Beautiful place to sit and have lunch, I got the French ham and Swiss... Delicious. The French baguette was crisp and flavorful, the ham was hand carved. They should offer a soup and sandwich combo

My friend and I ate at Gourmage on Tuesday, May 16. She ordered the mac and cheese and I got the chicken salad on a croissant. While both were very good ( I tasted mr friend's), they were not equal in portion. The mac and cheese was generous while my chicken salad was one small ice cream scoop size on a very small croissant with a normal size serving of chips. I had a water with my sandwich and the total was over $8. At the end of our meal I ordered some of their vanilla bean ice cream the waitress said they are famous for. It came in a small container that was less than 1/2 cup and I'd give a 6/10 rating. I should have asked the price before hand . . $3.75! Although the cafe itself was cute, we probably would not go back because we both felt is was overpriced for what you got. Too bad.

Had lunch last Thursday here. Beef sandwich open with Swiss cheese and dipping sauce. Dipping sauce had little flavor. It would be nice if they could make a richer sauce. That's why I can only give three stars.

I ordered a Mother's Day arrangement of assorted goodies from Gourmage, and was extremely pleased! I live out-of-state, and Angela helped me with my order down to the last detail. She was so personable, patient, and knew exactly what to combine for my order within my price range. Gourmage will continue to be my go-to place for all of my special orders--the best service AND delicious choices! Jan

Absolutely one of the best cheese shops I have ever been to in the US. So spoiled to have this in New Braunfels

Best cheese selection in town and the perfect place to buy some yummy gourmet chocolates for the special one on your life! A delight!

I went to Gourmage two weeks ago & was so excited to find this shop & to come back. However, after my experience yesterday, I will never do so. The shop itself is very cute, with a small selection of wines, cheeses & chocolates & should be very inviting. The sales clerk who worked the 7/7/18 evening shift, was extremely unwelcoming, stand-offish & disinterested. This lady had no interest in explaining the products even after we asked questions, her answers were short one word answers. My husband and I both felt this way & couldn't wait to get out of the store. It is very disappointing as I said before, I was so excited to go back. However, this one experience alone will prevent me from returning.

I gave this place several more try's and have been impressed with the selection of cheeses and wine. I'm still not crazy about the sandwiches they are still hit or miss. But I'm a regular now and really enjoy the staff.

Great lunch spot! Had Havarti and ham grilled cheese sandwich-YUM! I love the cheese board and baguettes also!

A great little find. It's not a true restaurant in terms, so as long as expectations are tempered from that standpoint, you shouldn't be disappointed. The grilled Havarti, with or without strawberry balsamic jam, is fantastic. There are also flavored salts, different cheese, and a variety of unique chocolate truffles, and interesting flavored ice creams. Goat cheese ice cream? Ok...it's worth a shot!

Wife and I went here for lunch. Roast beef sand was tasty. Chic salad for wife was good too. People were really nice too. Nice little place in old nb. The sweets were good too! You won't do wrong here.

Gourmet cheeses, chocolate, croissants...mmmmmm. What's not to love about this little piece of heaven?

Great artisan cheese plate, chocolate, coffee, and tuna salad. Great service and music

Lunch 11 to 2 Duck Breast Sandwich, hand made chocolates, and marshmallows (nothing like in the store), cheese, wines, and gifts, OH MY. Been 2 Saturdays and will proably go this weekend. Check out the web site, it is worth the little drive. Just delightful.

What a nice treat! Love trying new cheeses and the samples were large. Been there twice, and plan to become a regular customer. The grilled cheese sandwich with Havarty cheese was quite possibly the best I've ever had!

wonderful sandwich I had today. Gourmet grilled cheese with rosemary ham....something like that, but it was amazing. great atmosphere and nice people.

Really great cheeses but a little pricey. The staff is all super friendly and the roast beef was delicious

This place is wonderful! Knowledgable staff, nice selections of wines and cheeses. I have been here many times and always enjoy the experience.

Love this little gem in New Braunfels! Friendly staff and great sandwiches and soups for lunch! Very knowledgeable staff with the cheeses and wines. Great selection of sweets also! Highly recommend!
