Vaughan Cheese Counter & Bar

Stopped here during a visit to the area, and so glad I did! Everything was delicious and the staff were so friendly and informative. The star of the show was definitely the cheeseboard we got. SO delicious.

Vaughan Cheese offers an amazing selection of cheese, meats & spreads to build your own charcuterie board. Don’t forget the house pickled veggies & fruit. We had the waiter select our meat & cheese board, everything was delicious! You can also purchase meat, cheese, bread & some condiments to go, the blueberry jam is a favorite!

We had a lovely dinner here without the kids. The cheeses were all fantastic, and we both loved hearing where they were sourced, etc. The drink menu was excellent and the service was very friendly and helpful. They were a bit slow at times, but only because they were so busy! This is a lovely addition to North Beach and I can't wait to return.

Whether you’re eating in, or buying cheese from them at the local farmers market- Vaughan Cheese is a MUST if you’re in Calvert County! The quality and presentation of the food is incredible, the servers are so personable and the owners are so friendly and helpful. You deserve to treat yourself to a meal, some wine and cheese from Vaughan Cheese! You’ll be glad that you did 😌

We stopped into this lovely little cheese paradise yesterday and we will absolutely be back. We had great conversations with the wonderful staff and both owners. We asked for a dry white wine with a mineral note and got an exuberant story about the love someone has for Kerner wine - a great choice. We picked a few meats and cheeses and then asked to have another one picked for us - they added a tartufo to compliment everything on the board. Conversations ranged from the community, to restaurants, to great bread, cheese and everything in between. The grilled cheese was amazing (I had high expectations of a cheese shop), the selection of 85 cheeses was fantastic and a lovely wine selection as well. The beach is so very lucky to have Vaughan Cheese.

Hubby and I got one of the BEST experiences in our lives at Vaughan Cheese Counter!✨ if you are in the area and love cheese, make sure you visit them! Loved the customer service and we will definitely go back again! 5 stars ⭐

Great atmosphere cute indoor and outdoor seating. We had them create a 5 item board for us with meat and cheese it included breads and a jam. All of it was well paired with the wine and sour beer. Absolutely will return

First time visiting Vaughn Cheese today and it was wonderful! The world we live in today, was forgotten while our visit there today. Megan, the owner was knowledgeable, personable and her hospitality was incredible! The food was absolutely amazing as well. We can’t wait to visit there again.

I might be obsessed. Went for dinner and got a cheese trio (opted for the “women in cheese” board). SO good, I went back a couple days later and bought more of each. The bearded lady bleu cheese is so creamy and delicious. Also got a wheel of the Chesapeake Brie (it’s ooey gooey inside naturally, like it’s a baked Brie) and some of the truffle cheese too. Got the baguette that comes in easy to tear off piece that reheated amazingly. Can’t wait for my next visit!

Stop whatever you’re doing, cancel your dinner plans, and go here tonight. This was most likely the best dining experience of my life. Between the outrageously warm and welcoming staff to the spectacular drinks and food, Vaughan and her staff make dining at her restaurant a core memory. We can not WAIT to return again soon!

Just tried this place for the first time last night and it was phenomenal! Vaughan Cheese is such a welcome and much needed addition to this area. Drinks, food and service were top notch. This is our new happy hour destination for sure!

Vaughn Cheese has an astonishing array of artisan cheeses and knowledgeable staff. The owners are passionate about quality and have an uncanny skill in remembering the preferences of their customers. They are nic people. You can’t go wrong.

Heaven on a board. After visiting Vaughan Cheese a few times over the summer at the farmers market, I fell in love! I have been dying to visit since they've opened their new location, and with my MIL in town, I knew it was the perfect time. If you're not quite sure what you want, they are extremely helpful in finding the perfect pairing for you! Thank you for helping create a wonderful memory I will keep of her and I. You all are wonderful and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming.

I can't say enough good things about this place. I am visiting from the West Coast I am a new and forever fan!! I will be back!!our food was amazing!! The cheese and wine pairing beyond My expectations!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place!

Totally worth the drive down from Annapolis! Megan was was very friendly and knowledgeable, and helped us pick a great selection of cheeses. Excited to go back

For lunch I had the Rye ale and the roasted red pepper with MD goat cheese.

This was AMAZING. I want to go get the sandwich again for lunch tomorrow.

Perfect bunch to sit outside and eat. Not too heavy, but it is still filling.

Taylor and Taylor were both great, very warm and convivial. I am new to cheese and they were very helpful and recommended me an entree. Overall, good experience, I recommend it.

I usually drop a star on the overall rating if the service was not that great... but... just gotta say that the food was worth "slightly less than observant" service. She was really sweet and nice, but more elusive. Other tables had multiple visits while i waited and a table of 2 that came in a while after i arrived; ordered, ate, paid and we're about to leave before me. The food however... oh, sweetness. Between the presentation, the texture and the flavors! I'm using the byte system for my teeth so it was a bit tender to eat, but so worth every bite! If i only ordered just bread and butter, it would have been enough to satisfy! Warm, crisp on the crust and soft inside... yum. The other table had a cheese adventure, so perhaps I'll try that another time! If you like cheese, I'd go for it, their comments as they were eating were just straight "Mmm"'s! With comments about the textures and the soft and creaminess of some. Visit again... absolutely!

Some of the best cheese and meats options around. You can even build your own charcuterie board. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
