I stopped to purchase cheese/meats for a charcuterie board. They spent a good amount of time with me to curate the perfect board. They were very knowledgeable and their love of cheese resonated in the service they provided! In addition to the cheese/meats, they had a great selection of accompaniments (crackers, jams, olives, nuts). What a great place to have in Des Moines!

Incredible selection of cheese and wines! Stopped by for a board and ended up leaving with a selection of delicious cheeses to share for the holidays! Great gift Idea and they curate larger boards for parties. Shoutout to Maggie for curating our experience and giving a slice of the hospitality Des Moines has to offer.

I stopped in here on a whim and I am very glad I did so. The Monger sandwich is incredible. The staff were all friendly and informative. The atmosphere was great, the location was clean, and the prices were very reasonable. I'll definitely return and would recommend others to visit as well.

Went in to get some cheese to make Beer Cheese Soup. The staff was extremely helpful, taking their time to suggest cheeses and let us try some. They even recommend a beer to try, and we got that as well.
