Without a doubt, one of the best cheese shops in Denver! I first visited years ago with an old friend and had the pleasure of returning yesterday with my fiancé. The shop has grown tremendously, offering an incredible selection of high-quality cheeses and gourmet products— all at prices that are surprisingly affordable compared to competitors. The staff is warm, knowledgeable, and always ready to help you find the perfect cheese for any occasion. I highly recommend supporting this fantastic local business!

This cheese shop, conveniently located in the Highlands, was excellent! I came in yesterday looking for a few cheeses for the charcuterie board I’m making for a Super Bowl party. Earlier in the day, I had gone to a cheese shop near Sunnyside and was disappointed by the lack of product and crazy prices. So, I made St. Kilian’s my last stop before I gave up and just went to Whole Foods to find my cheese. I was so excited when I walked in! Not only is the store packed with samples, but the team was incredibly helpful in guiding me on which ones to pick for my board. Every cheese I got was unique and delicious. And the best part? The prices were way more affordable than I expected, especially compared to the first cheese shop I went to.

A friend of ours has recommended this place for cheese and bread. We stopped in to check out their selection. If you are looking for specialty meats and cheeses for charcuterie, this is definitely worth a visit. It's pricey but not beyond what you might expect for high end meats and cheese. Everything we tried was exceptional. Nothing was a dud or a disappointment. Will definitely be going back.

My favourite Fromagerie this side of I-25. Great selections in all price ranges. I left with a wedge of Mycella Blue. It was Soooo tasty. Great items for a charcuterie party as well.

Love this place. My go to for amazing cheese and imported Jamón. The staff is very friendly and super knowledgeable. It’s pricey( that’s the nature of cheese ) but competitive. High quality and worth it.

Great products with fast and reliable delivery. I particularly like the Parmigiano Reggiano and Moltrasio al Tartufo cheeses. The mostarda is delicious with cheeses. I only wish they also had a pear mostarda like I used to get when I lived in Italy

Great store that has a lot more to offer than just cheese. Highly recommend for high end local and international goods.

This place has such an extensive selection of goods; it's such a small store, and yet I find something new every time. They have every kind of cheese, pickled food, or cured meat you can think of and the staff are wonderful. Definitely the best place to go for cheeses and other goods. They even have a huge selection of pastas, and some fresh produce options as well!

What a fabulous surprise to visit here. It is chock full of so many unique and specialty items whether it be meats or cheeses (as you would expect by its name), but it is sooo much more. The layout was relaxing, but with an upbeat energy--was perfect for an unplanned shopping extravaganza. I forgot the person's name who was helping me, but she was super wonderful and knew a lot about all of the products. Granted I called them to see if they had the Wisconsin brick cheese for the Detroit Style Pizza we were making. I would have liked to buy more but it was their last one, until they get more in. But instead of just picking up the cheese and leaving, I made my way through their store, perusing their many treasures. So many great products that I didn't know I needed :). You can stop here if you don't want to read the details of what I ended up getting. Got a white balsamic vinegar (more citrusy taste I was told) and garlic infused olive oil. Both of those paired together will make a great vinaigrette salad dressing. Then Merf hot sauces, got the green and red ones. Yum! Figured would try out the Chile Miso condiment. Sounded very interesting. Picked up their cuttlefish ink, squid ink pasta, salted french butter and organic cream. Mixed with the parmigiana rigatto cheese I had at home would make a great sauce with this unique pasta. But I needed a shredder for the cheese and they had a very cool tri-shredder that fit the bill. And finally their meats. So many varieties of meats. I went with the Genoa salami, prosciutto, and speck (smoked ham). All were super delicious and tasty. Will have to try some of the others in the future. I picked up a piece of goat, fig and honey cheese that I am anxious to try. I wonder if it will be a dessert treat or not. Finally, I couldn't pass up the vanilla chai tea. I will try it as a hot and iced tea with milk. Yum! They have beautiful cheese/charcuterie boards and tools. I may just have to break down and get those during my future return visit(s).

Friendly and patient staff with lots of fun things to buy (even outside of their plethora of cheese!) they have a lot of unique jams, a bunch of high quality meat to go with your cheese, and fresh bread on Saturdays apparently. I got their days old bread and even that was good. It can get pricey here but you get what you paid for because I was in cheesy heaven that night! Def will go here again to get my cheese fix in the future.

I'm so happy we came across this gem when I was in Denver for a wedding! We stayed for about a week and we were all aching to have a cheese and wine night and St. Killians assortment of cheese and crackers was exactly what we needed to complete our charcuterie board! Also... some of their crackers was so good, I had my local friends asking me where I bought it!

I came here for iberico, and left super disappointed. They shaved it so thick that it tasted like I was chewing onto plastic rubber. Very disappointing, was really looking forward for this place to be a hit. Service was very meh, worker looked like she hated having customers. Anyways wouldn't recommend

I was the first person into the store as they opened and asked the lady at the counter if I could place an order. She told me to wait and 2 min later she helped the other people who came in after me. RUDE. I stood at the counter for 5 min before I had to request for help. Not one person offered to help. I'm 6 feet 220 hard to miss. When I did get help ordering various cheeses and other items not once was it offered to try the cheeses I asked about, he actually seemed bothered that i was asking. I was also surprised at the limited selection of cheese for this being a cheese shop. I had no choice as time was short to shop for the holidays so to leave and go elsewhere was not an option at this point. I spent over $500 to be ignored and treated poorly. Obviously they think they are special, some of the same unique cheeses are available at Murrays cheese shop in the local kings super. Almost everything in this store I have seen in others and appreciated as a customer. The only thing I found that was truly special was there extremely high prices. I also found it strange they open at noon and being that I get up early to deal with clients in New York in Europe by 10 o'clock I'm ready to get my errands done and I have to travel a distance if I wanted to shop here. Opening at noon really throws off my day should I ever decide to stop by again. I do want to give them a second chance as that would only be fair. It's one thing to have attitude if your special enough and want to portray that attitude, but to not be all that and throw attitude makes is definitely not a place I would frequent. I do want to give them a second chance as that would only be fair.

If you want to be stared at after mispronouncing the french cheese "Comté", then feel the importance of spelling out the word "Comté" because there is no acknowledgement from the man behind the counter, then being condescendingly laughed at by this man, then this is your shoppe. I was planning a Christmas party and french cheeses were on my menu. And I needed plenty of guidance, which I expressed to this man...I asked how long the shoppe had been here and he responded 45ish years. I playfully replied, "I'm angry because I was unaware sooner." There was zero reply. During my entire purchasing process he absolutely made me think I was disturbing him. He perked up when I mentioned Burrata. Anyway, I'm a simple office manager and I spent $150 on vinegar, cheese, and olives & prolly would've spent more if I was properly directed. This man was the only person in the shoppe. I left this place feeling bad because of how I was treated.

Very cute speciality grocer and cheese monger. Does err on the pricier side but from the cheese we had it was worth it. We asked them for a cheese that could stand alone as a snack on the go and they really delivered with the Challerhocker

I don't think it gets much better than this. The location is super cute, you walk in only to be smacked in the face with the pungent aroma of cheese. Such a funky and yet amazing smell. We were able to sample a few cheeses and ask for recommendations. The gentleman working was quite friendly and eager to help us pick out a nice selection of cheeses and sliced meats. We left with a bag of goodies that included three different cheeses, sliced meat and a delicious bag of blue cheese jerky. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area, and worth the drive if your aren't.

CHEESE CHEESE CHEESE AND ALL THINGS WONDERFUL FOR THE MOST DELICIOUS CHEESE SPREAD! Aside from all the amazing selections they have with cheese, they also have an incredibly variety of sausages and salamis to make any board stand out! In addition they also have several spreads, chocolates, specialty foods to accompany your spread with a beautiful meal to follow! The staff was very friendly and suggestive. Love the apparel even purchased a shirt to take back to Cali with me for the husband! Thanks again for all your help! Can't wait to return

I go here all the time for cheese but what is the deal with the old crotchety old man who continues to work there and treat everyone like complete ****?! I thought it was just me, but when I saw an older woman in there, where he was not only not helpful but extremely rude, realized every day for him is a bad day. I wish they had competent staff that were friendly and helpful, but all he does is condescend when people are paying $$$ for cheese. The only reason I'm not giving the place a one star is that it's in the neighborhood, and even if I am reprimanded every time for questions I have about their selection, I gotta have my cheese! There is another cheese place on 44th that I may just have to start going to...

This gourmet store has lots of goodies including merguez (a Moroccan lamb sausage), great cheeses, Forte teas, various pastas, vinegars and oils. The staff is friendly and helpful. I enjoy coming in. The negative is parking, so be prepared to search for street parking.

I'll start by saying this place is absolutely amazing! I called up a few places around town because I was having a cheese party and this one impressed me right away. (Note: if you're a business, phone conversations make a huge impression- know what you're talking about). I happened to be in the area the following day so I decided to pop in. I'm a visual person and I like to meet who I'm working with in person. Without saying anything, the gentleman who helped me on the phone was working and showed me photos of past trays he's done. Immediately, I was sold on a 'foodie' cheese tray he did for someone recently. I loved his in depth knowledge of the different types of cheeses but also what other 'sides' I should have to do along with them. He also lent me a plate and tray without my asking nor did they ask for a deposit! He really helped my spread look amazing! I felt that all the way around from the knowledge to the customer service to the selection available that this place nailed it. This is especially great when you aren't an expert and you are leaning on someone to help you make the right decisions. I will say that the other places I called were cheaper but, in the end, it was worth the extra money for the service and end product I got here!

What a fun little specialty shop! I love the name, first of all! It has a super huge selection of cheeses, and so many kinds I've never ever heard of. Oh yeah, and gelato in the summer time! I think what the kids say here is "woot!" The prices are a touch high, but they ARE a specialty shop, so it's to be expected. Quality looks great, and the smell is wonderful as well. If you want to pay for incredibly overpriced wine from Mondo Vino, pair if up with moderately priced cheese from St. Killians. It's a cute, fun shop in a neighborhood with lots of "must visits."

Came to this cheese shop since they carry Merguez sausages and duck Rillettes. I had the Merguez for dinner the first night and they were excellent. I tried the fresh goat cheese and put it on a beets salad. Very good. Also I got the raclette cheese which was my dinner for tonight! It was great. Will return.

I love the idea of a shop dedicated to a craft so cheesy. The very polite staff is very knowledgeable about a great variety of imported and (a few) domestic cheeses - all of which are top shelf. If you are a cheese fan (Green Bay fans don't count!) you'll love this little local shop!

Everything I said 3 years ago stands. Cheese, people, selection, service. Two tiny negatives. 1. No Wi-Fi. 2. Parking is a nightmare. Not their fault, but the intersection of Lowell and 32nd is just insane.

Cute store. Great selection of cheese, crackers and spices. A bit spendy but as to be expected for the hood. However the customer service... RUDE. I don't know who the gentleman was that was working the counter tonight but I sure hope he's not the owner. We weren't greeted when we walked in at 6pm, they close at 7. Scoffed at us when we asked about samples. Received a lot of push back for requesting to sample a certain cheese told us we wouldn't like it and to pick another one. My sister bought 2 cheeses and a baguette. He asked if she needed a bag and she said yes. He then told her she already had a bag with her (her purse) and didn't need another one. She politely told the man she'd like a bag and he told her that typically his customers in THIS neighborhood don't ask for additional bags. BTW we live in the neighborhood. What a disappointment especially when we just finished at mondo vino who ALWAYS has the absolute best customer service and friendly staff.

I found out about this time last year that I have food allergies. My doctor misdiagnosed me with Rheumatoid Arthritis because a blood result I took (due to back pain) came back elevated. My aunt-in-law practices acupuncture and told me to be tested for food allergies. Apparently, the symptoms for both are similar and the RA test measures the amount of inflamation in your tissues which is sometimes caused by food allergens. On a scale from 1 to 5, (5 being the most allergic and enough so to go into anaphylactic shock and 1 being so small of a reaction that you won't even know you're allergic), I scored about a 3 on everything that I was tested for... All 40 foods. That includes all cow dairy, wheat and yeast (so no bread of any kind - not even spelt; it usually has yeast), black pepper, soy, onion, tomato, cane and beet sugar, pork, beef, white flour, etc. I thought I could handle it. "So, who cares if I can't eat everything I've been used to eating my entire life. I'll do it with pleasure if this damned back pain will go away." I figured what the hell? I'll lose weight. My big toe and, maybe, my booty will be all that's left of me. I'll be the healthiest person on the planet if all can eat is grass and drink water. Well, it wasn't quite that extreme, but you try grocery shopping for that type of diet. NEVER have I been so frustrated in my life! But, I went for a month and was able to completely cleanse my body of all toxins and yes. There were a few that had built up after 27 years of eating foods that I am allergic to (hence the back pain). But, I did it. Then I hit a brick wall. Maybe I was PMSing. Who knows. I woke up one morning, my husband (then fiancee) mentioned something about making waffles (with our flaxseed flour, of course) and I burst into tears. I couldn't have butter on my waffles! How sad is that?! ESPECIALLY when you are already subsituting rice syrup for regular syrup. Growing up in Texas, I was used to butter or cheese on EVERYTHING. I can't help it. That's how I was raised. And, that's how I like all my food. "Cover it in butter and/or cheese, please." Yep. That's me. So, there's my husband, looking at me like I'm crazy. He is still trying to be supportive though, bless his heart. "What about goat products? They make goat cheese, who says they don't make goat butter?" RIGHT! This is why I love him! ...I can eat goat dairy products. I kept forgetting that! Before moving in with him, I lived in the Highlands for a year. I loved living there - but, that's another review for another day. My roommate and I loved to throw parties. And, my roommate, aka Chef Megan, loved to serve wine and cheese before the main appetizers at every get together. She had had me pick up cheese for her on occasion at this great little cheese shop just north of the 32nd and Lowell intersection. The very day of the butter incident, I booked it to the shop. And, yes. There is a God. Goats make great, though pungent, butter. Not to mention the cheese. Yum. I've since found the same brand goat butter at Wild Oats for $2 cheaper. However, no other place I've since shopped holds a candle to the quality, selection and price of the cheeses.

OMG - FUN PLACE! I am still a novice with cheese although I do love it. All kinds and more. I listened to my fellow Yelpers and decided to take the trip after work and check this place out. The woman working greeted me immediately with a smile and asked if I would like an samples. I was overwhelmed with the massive selection and said I was just looking. We proceeded to chit chat about the day and what I was looking for which was very nice and comfortable. There is a great variety of cheese as well as some cured meats, crackers, and assorted sauces. I am completely intrigued by a lot of the cheeses that I know nothing about. I ended up walking out with some smoked Gouda and a creamy cheese that I can't remember the name of that the woman recommended. A very nice store and I will definitely be back to try a more cheeses. :)

My family wanted to enjoy Italian & French meats, cheeses, and accoutrements for New Year's Eve with a bottle of Champagne. We asked St. Killian's to select everything except the bubbly which ended up being the most satisfying charcuterie dining experience ever! My family agreed this would become a tradition for all future New Year's festivities! St. Hilaire & Sullivan Clan

Every time I travel, I try to hit up the cheese shops in the cities I'm visiting. I remember visiting St. Kilian's in the past, but couldn't remember what I thought of it. Upon entering, I had the same thoughts I had before -- a good but small selection of cheese and gourmet foods. The saleswoman provided tasting of my choices, but all the while seemed like she'd rather be doing something else. She was difficult to engage in conversations about the cheese--which is my favorite part of going to cheese shop. I want to hear about what milks are used, the cheese-making process, and the clerk's take on the flavors. But, she didn't offer any of this and, as I think back, didn't even smile. How could you work in a cheese store and not smile all the time?!?!? The cheese we selected, however, was excellent and therefore I was happy in the end.

I expected it to be larger. This place is TINY! As others mentioned, parking in the area is somewhat nightmarish, but that's not the fault of St. Killian's. I, like most of us, LOVES me some cheese. But I also loves me some service. This is where St. Killian's was lacking. The guy behind the tiny counter didn't bother with a greeting, and when I started conversation, it was short, choppy answers. No offers of samples, no small talk, nada. The non-perishable section was pretty bare, and somewhat predictable. Their frozen/fridge area had some things in it...but I honestly forget. It was that unmemorable. Maybe I caught him on a bad day, and they DID have a few interesting-looking cheeses, so I'll not completely pan this place, but despite other Yelpers' experiences, I doubt I'll be back.

Love this tiny shop. There is always a fantastic selection of cheeses, and the shop owner has always been there when I have come in. I love that about a small business. I refuse to complain about Parking, especially since I have always found a spot in the general area no issue. This little shop takes me to somewhere in Europe, and that i think is what I love the most.

Please note they have new hours. S-12-5, M-1-6, Tuesday-CLOSED, W-Sat. 11-7. Cheese how I love thee. Great selection and friendly staff. Who doesn't love samples. Bf and I decided on an Irish Chedder as it almost St. Patty's day. It was delicious. We hope to take his mom who is visiting here to pick up some more. Great selection for such a tiny establishment.

1. Who wouldn't want to be surrounded by cheese? 2. Awesome local business in the Highlands. 3. I went in last weekend and the person working at the time, Ryan, was like some sort of cheese guru and immediately guessed my new favorite cheese, Carr Valley mellage. FANTASTIC.

Crush the competition with superior cheese. 20-30 varieties of high end, melt-in-your-mouth, artisian cheeses brought to you by expert cheeseologists. The two goudas I picked up here were a big hit at the party I brought them to. No one touched the cracker barrel. The shop has a good variety of crackers, breads, cured meats and mustards as well. It's not inexpensive, but you won't be disappointed with the taste and quality.

I agree with the "the employee seemed like she had better things to do" I dropped the hints of an indecisive person, not really sure what I wanted...but there were not recommendations or cheese talks. I got a 1/4 lb of the aged manchego. No doubt delicious. I only wish I had one of those fancy thin slicing cheese knifes. It just tastes so much better!

My boyfriend and I love coming to this store solely on the options available and the unique food they offer. With that said, we are highly considering not going anymore based off the way they treat us. I'm not sure who the bald snarky guy is that cuts meats but we haven't had one experience where he wasn't rude. If you want a cute meat and cheese platter it's a great place. Just be prepared to be treated like dirt and scoffed at when you are picking out your meat and cheese. It's unfortunate on how bad of an experience the staff always makes it.

I can't say enough about the service I received from this place after calling the store yesterday on behalf of my daughter and future son in law. Both work in healthcare and said they were out of food...no energy to get to the store...nothing to eat/hungry...I called St. Kilians and the owner and his wife put together a pick up box of items for them at the last minute--even staying open an extra half hour since the place literally was closing when I called. I was so embarrassed to ask and would have been willing to wait until tomorrow, but they knew that it would have been best to do it immediately. I am so grateful. The food was well received and the kids raved about the truffle cheese. I was in such a rush and initially could not figure out how to use the super simple website (since I'm so old) that they helped me through it when I called 3 times for support. Then, I had to leave and couldn't finish paying, so they simply let me finish payment the next day. I have never heard of such a thing in this day and age, but this place has 4.5 stars for a reason. They live up to it. I hope to go meet them in person when I come to Denver (from California) at the end of the month. I will not identify myself, though, as I am too embarrassed.

CHEESE. GOOD CHEESE. Cheese you can't find anywhere else. Tired of looking at Whole Foods as your go-to cheese place? Tired of sighing with displeasure and disappointment when they don't have anything interesting? GO HERE. The owner is extremely helpful, knows his products, and is a good share-er. The samples are generous and the selection is really varied. We made some of the most bomb-ass grilled cheese I've ever had in my life after shopping here. And the prices are surprisingly reasonable! We had a $50 gift certificate and, try as we might, only ended up spending about $30 on more cheese than we could eat in a week. SCORE. Plus, the owner is a great supporter of local nonprofits. LOVE that.

oh my GAH. I could spend a fortune in here and usually do but I walk away with a ton of great items. The staff is always so friendly and taste test friendly. I've loved every item I've bought. Found this amazing smoked salt and it's been the best on everything. The olive tapenade was smack your face good too. Nothing but love for St. Kilians.

Wow! Great artisanal cheese shop! Amazing stuff and will special order just about anything you could want ... I am not sure how to talk about a fine cheese shop in superlatives, but this place is great and the staff knows cheese ... If you want or need a cheese for something specific, if you want to pick up something special well this is the place to visit ... just remember it doesn't come cheap!

Thank you yelpers!! I went to this local cheese shop for some cheese to do a cheese tasting at home for Valentines Day after reading the reviews on yelp. My husband and I walked in and the woman working immediately began talking to us! Personally, this is a huge plus since I feel like more often than not people tend to get ignored at businesses now a days. I began explaining what we were planning to do and the types of cheeses that we enjoy. She let us try five different cheeses which was awesome! We eventually decided on four cheeses and she wrapped them up for us. She even suggested great bread and wine for us to try to even further our experience. I didn't find it too pricey for the quality that you get. We only spent $15 on four different types of cheese. There was more than enough, in fact we have plenty left over to have later this week! This place is a keeper! Thanks St. Killians for a memorable V-Day! I will definetly be back in the near future.

Excellent, gourmet urban grocery store in the neighborhood. Great selection and quality of foods, cheeses, meats and supplies....a blessing to have in Highlands Square. I go about once a week.

I love cheese. And in the interest of clarity, I have to say I have been buying at this store since they were first opened. Hugh the owner is a great guy who knows his cheese, and will, if you ask, tell you what is the best cheese to go with a wine or meal. The owner of Mondo Vino and Hugh will interact to make sure you get the best selection of wine and cheese. And if you aren't sure if the cheese is to your taste, just ask for a taste of the selection you think you like. They will give you a nice sized chunk so you can really taste it and make a decision. Most of the folk in the neighborhood will attest to the great cheeses they stock, as will I. Definitely a good store to visit!

Absolutely the kind of place everyone should try. I am forever saying that I want local...I want unique...I want exceptional quality. Well this place is all of that. Specialty cheeses, meats, pastas, sauces, spices and much more. The expertise is fantastic. They will help you get exactly what you need. I know it's hard on the little guy these days but I hope this place stays around for a long time. Every time I'm making a cheese board or a fancy authentic pasta dinner this is now my go-to store. Well done!

We drive 12 miles to visit this shop, although I admit the surrounding area is also a draw. The owners are a delight and the cheese and salami selection are always interesting. It is pricey, but we find it a treat to visit every time. We never leave without making a purchase.

This place is awesome, local sweet shop, with a good variety of cheeses. My favorite is Latur, it is a killer soft cheese from Italy, strong and pungent but absolutely beautiful. Robusto is all super tasty. They are always willing to let you have a little sample of the cheesy goodness, only complaint is a bit pricey and they likely won't cut to order on the cheese

I've found no trip to Mondo Vino is complete without a quick stop at St. Killian's. Unlike the Monty Python sketch, St. Killian's has an excellent selection of cheeses and a helpful staff. They are very knowledgeable and friendly and the prices are reasonable. Tell them what you like in a cheese, or show them what you bought at Mondo, and they'll happily fix you up with a cheese. They never try and up-sell, which is always nice and I've never been disappointed with a purchase. If you like cheese, real cheese, good cheese this is your spot.

To save the reader I won't repeat all of the same positive opinions expressed about St. Kilian's but I agree with them all. Fabulous in almost every way. I am Italian. I cook often and a large amount for many people and I have good taste (at least I think so as people never turn my food down). I am afraid I have a criticism based on my consumer needs. This wonderful shop does not slice cheese. They have a great big, beautiful, professional slicer at this specialty cheese shop. But the slicer is only for meat only. The (very nice and helpful) woman who helped me said a slicer for cheese would be to expensive. I will have to continue to drive far away for my Italian cheeses. Sad for me and my baked dishes and loss of income for them. I will still shop for appetizer cheeses and other goodies though. What a great shop to have down the street.

This is a wonderful shop if you love cheese. They have a large selection and know their cheeses well. There is even a table by the window if you wish to eat your cheese right there and chillax. Fond memories of walking home with a giant slice of cheese for lunch. Not to be missed!

I don't like writing crummy reviews. I've been going to this business on and off for 10 years. It's really close to my home. Because of my prior experiences with Kilians, I usually shop for cheese, etc., at Cheese and Provisions or Truffle Cheese Shop. When in a pinch, I go to Kilians. Went to the farmers market today with a friend so she wanted to stop in. I didn't share my previous experiences. It was the same and I'll never go back. St. Kilians has a wonderful selection but I've never once felt welcome as a customer. I have never been greeted with a hello (but others have while I'm browsing). Never a can I help you. Not once. When I ask about the cheese, I get a few words and that's it. Seem Uninterested in serving me and rude. When I've checked out I've never received a thank you. I say thank you and they will say you're welcome. Maybe they are nicer to other customers but they certainly aren't to me. My friend instantly caught the vibe without me saying anything. I've never been in a more pretentious store. Good lord. It's cheese. Be kind and respectful to your customers . It's good manners.

Man O' man, I love cheese! I've been frequenting this little shop for sometime now and I'll never forget the first time my wife brought home some cheese from St Killian's Cheese Shop. Hugh and his wife are great and always willing to let you sample before you decide! He has introduced us to all different types of cheese from all over the world. It would be very easy for me to spend a fair amount of money here and some times we do. There is almost nothing better than good piece of cheese and a fresh baguette. If you remember anything from this review please make sure it's this.....Époisses, ask for it by name.
