"A vegan gem in the Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood, this shop features the most impressive collection of dairy-free cheeses in town. Brought to you by Brittany and Ryan Snipes — the same folks behind package-free grocery store The Realm Refillery — Vtopian specializes in cultured cashew cheeses in flavors like umami rich black garlic, creamy rainbow peppercorn brie, and a grateable sharp aged white cheddar. The display case also carries some of the biggest vegan cheese names in the country, including Rebel Cheese, Cheeze & Thank You, and Rind Cheese. Customers will even find seaweed caviar, tinned celeriac fish, and fig salami here. Over on Belmont, Vtopian’s food cart Unwind serves cheese plates and handmade pasta, like brown butter squash pappardelle, at Company wine bar." - Waz Wu

"Don’t worry, vegans: local cheesemongers haven’t forgotten about you. Vtopia in Southwest Portland’s Goose Hollow neighborhood specializes in house-made, aged vegan cheese. You can buy a block of cheese to take home yourself, with options like cashew-based cheddar, soy-based brie, soy-and-coconut-based muenster, and soy-based mozzarella. The shop also offers a menu of comfort foods, like vegan mac and cheese made with cashew-based cheese sauce and mozzarella. But for the ultimate cheesy treat, pursue the shop’s grilled mac and cheese sandwich, made with the shop’s classic mac with extra melty cheese on vegan Grand Central Bakery Como bread." - Zoe Baillargeon
"The holiday menu at this entirely vegan cheese shop and deli includes roasted vegetable seitan roasts with mushroom gravy, wild rice winter vegetable pilaf, and root vegetable gratin with house-made “brie”. Vtopia will also offer special cheese platters and cookie tins, in addition to its impressive selection of house-made cashew cheeses. Order online by December 19 for pickup on December 22." - Waz Wu
"In addition to house-made deli cheeses and loaded mac and cheese, this all-vegan cheese shop in Goose Hollow also serves two rotating soups. Currently, Vtopia’s takeout and delivery menu includes a no-frills classic tomato soup for dunking grilled cheese sandwiches and an autumnal bisque with roasted butternut squash, carrots, and apples. New soups are announced regularly on Instagram." - Waz Wu
