"Yoav Perry is extremely enthusiastic about cheese. You’d have to be to do what he’s doing in Olde Kensington right now: In a reclaimed shipping container inside a raw production space on Hancock Street, Perry is busy separating curds from whey, ladling fresh cheese into molds, and flavoring drinkable yogurts and whey “tonics” with salted caramel and pistachio. With his forthcoming creamery, Perrystead Dairy, Perry will join a robust community of cheese people in Pennsylvania, eager to do justice to the commonwealth’s dairy history." - Dayna Evans

A fun activity or a convenient spot to pickup cheese. There’s a beautiful garden with seating to enjoy your cheese.

The cheese is incredible, the seasonal cheese boxes are a must. That 24 hour neighborhood cheese dispensary is a game changer!

I love the cheeses from Perrystead Dairy. Intergalactic is a big hit anytime we do a tasting. Just about everyone that buys it comes back again a few weeks later for more! I look forward too seeing what new cheeses they develop in the future!

Amazing, original creations. I had the opportunity to try one of the first collaborations with Kismet Bagels that Perrystead created, and it did not disappoint. Such a great addition to the Fishtown / Olde Kensington area.

Full disclosure I've never actually been to the spot where all the cheese making magic happens, but I have met owner Yoav Perry at several community events and pop ups including a market at Riverwards Market and at a post-yoga Mural City Cellars wine and Perrystead cheese tasting at the nearby Sculpture Garden, hosted by Monarch Yoga. You can tell Perry loves all things Dairy as he is extremely passionate about describing his various cheeses to you and offering serving and accompaniment suggestions. I've tried at least four different cheeses he makes, and they're all delicious. They're all small-batch, hand-crafted, and locally made. He mentioned developing a cheese vending machine where you could purchase cheese and I believe it's also sold in local markets. Based on a Philly Eater article (April 2021) Perry is also planning to use the front yard of the space to sell his cheeses in a walk-up makers market during the warmer months.
