Cheesekeeper

The Cheesekeeper is a hidden gem located in the west end of Belleville. I only learned about them through the library and their sponsoring of the summer reading program, though they've been in business for 39 years! I visited on a Tuesday morning in June and had a nice conversation with the owner Mark. He told me all about their cheese selections and his love for the town. He recommended two cheeses- applewood smoked cheddar and one from New York. He sliced my portions straight from the block in the cooler behind the counter and gave me specific instructions on how to store it (as I'm no cheese connoisseur and needed to be told 😆). I didn't end up needing the information though because the cheese didn't last more than a day, because we ate it so quickly! 🧀

The Cheesekeeper also has a selection of wine available to pair with the cheese, as well as coffee. Mark told me about their bi-monthly cheese tastings open to the public and complete with wine tasting to pair with it. I plan to return for one of the upcoming events.

Nice selection of various wines and cheeses. Staff is knowledgeable and courteous.

Beloved family business in the heart of West End offering wines and fine cheeses, coffees, select imported food stuffs and nibbles. I enjoy their Rose's Blend coffee beans (medium) and treat myself to Jamaican Blue Mountain. Fun wine tastings are offered throughout the year. Wonderful shoppe!!!

Always friendly and helpful service. Nice little shop with good selection of cheese, wine, and other goodies.

Best little gift in Belleville. Great service, cheese selection and wine. Love this place.

Five stars all the way.. for all your wine and cheese needs. They fresh cut everything off whole wheels or blocks of cheese nothing is pre-packed or pre-cut you can get any amount you want. They know how to pair any wine with any food or cheese. Sent a gift box to a friend and he just loved it. They do wine tastings that are out of this world and whatever they sample is 15% of the regular price during their wine tastings. They really make you feel welcome here.

Wonderful little shop. Lots of really good cheeses and nice wines. They also have food and coffee for your intimate gatherings.

Great selection of cheeses and top notch service.

I love the Cheese Keeper. I’ve been going there for years They’re very knowledgeable on the wide variety of cheese and wine!

Love this place. Always full of wonderful surprises. Like Willy Wonka and Wonderland and the French Market all in one. And the owners couldn't be more pleasant or helpful. Looking for something unusual? Just ask.

Wonderful selection of cheese, wine, coffee, and other assorted hard to find items. Wine tasting and excellent service everyday.

There are so many cheese and wine options to choose from. Friendly expert assistance. It is a great place.

Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! A great little gormet wine and cheese shop right around the corner. I love this town! And this shop is a nice chunk of why. I'll get some pictures up soon.

Had a wonderful experience talking to the gentleman and tasting cheese. This is a place we'll worth visiting.

The best cheeses around! Applewood smoked cheddar and oak smoked cheddar are my faves.

A solid selection of cheese, wine, and coffee. A unique variety that most stores do not carry. Worth the trip!

The post government employment Marine and his wife have created a fun educational European boutique shopping experience here in Belleville. Hoorah! Sir. Mission accomplished.

Awesome store. Superb customer service. I absolutely love this place.

A very nice place to find cheese, wine, and bread. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

The best wine shop I've ever been to. Mark was very friendly and knowledgeable.
