Gem of a place in downtown Concord. Sure. Come for the cheese. The excellent, various cheese. And talk to someone behind the counter who will steer the adventerous Stilton lover to the Cabrales, or the timid Cheddar buyer to the mild funk of the Crucolo. Then wander the small but well curated wine selection, the tasty preserved meats and sweet European treats, and pick from a basket of breads. Or get the busy deli department to make you a sammich. Then head back to your safe and happy place, your purse lighter, your step springy with anticipation, and enjoy.

If I had to describe heaven on Earth, it would look pretty similar to The Concord Cheese Shop. When you walk in, there is a whole counter top and fridge full of all the types of cheeses one could ever want to sample. To the right are shelves full of wine, specialty teas, and all the snacks and accompaniments you’d want. In the back corner, there’s a deli counter with sandwiches and salami. If there’s a lot of people, the process is you take a yellow ticket and wait to be called up to get serviced. If you don’t need anything cut or portioned, you won’t need a ticket. I ended up spending about 100 for two bottles of wine (6 each from Portugal), 6 cheeses, cashews, salami, and amazing customer service. It’s a little pricey, but you pay for the quality of the cheeses, well worth it, especially since you get to sample the cheeses before you get them. Sometimes the people at the counter will cut too much and will share some with other people. But all the staff are wicked knowledgeable on the cheeses so just share some things that you’re looking for and they’ll give you some ideas of what to get! It can be quite busy around the holidays (especially when I went 3 days before Christmas), so make sure you’re not in a rush. Parking can be tricky since it’s in Downtown Concord, but there’s a ton of street parking in the area. I hope you enjoy this shop as much as I do!
Nice curation of wines you wouldn't normally find from wine regions all over the world. For a moment you forget you're a shop and feel like are in someone's personal cellar! The cheese selections are also just as intriguing.
I had a lovely cheese selection. Though busy on the weekends, they adhere to good social distancing and safety through their store. Would return!
Wonderful Selection! If you go make sure you talk to Stacey, great customer service and knowledge about my selection. It was busy but I can see why, can’t beat awesome cheese and a historic location. My fondue will be perfect.
