Andrew's Cheese Shop - Santa Monica, California

I can't tell you how happy this Reuben sandwich makes me, it is really that good! Heated in their panini press, the pastrami, the sauerkraut, the bread, the Russian dressing, and of course the cheese, it is a cheese shop! All of it, it's so simple and so perfect! I drive across LA, in traffic, at least twice a month just for this Reuben sandwich! Come early because it is first come with a limited supply, fresh everyday! I also get an Italian to go for later, they're also that good! Hey they have an incredible selection of cheese from around the world too, just sayin!

Came here for a grilled cheese + wine night, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Great owner, great pairings, totally worth it.

Thanks for a memorable and tasty night!

Yet another wish for a 10/5 star rating! This is such a wonderful shop, with wonderful staff, and especially, of course, a wonderful Andrew! If you aren't getting your cheese (and wine, and other condiments) from here, you're missing out. And if you're not doing their monthly cheese club delivery, you really have to. Every cheese is always perfect, and it's always delivered with care — Andrew has regularly gone above and beyond to make sure we receive it safely, and somehow it's almost like he telepathically knows when we need it the most, because it always appears at the perfect time! Do yourself a favour and go to Andrew's Cheese Shop, and join their cheese club.

Wish I could give this shop 6/5 stars. They have a fantastic selection of cheeses, cured meats, wines, beers, and other gourmet foods. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and always very helpful with any questions or selecting products. I highly recommend their cheese of the month club, which provides a fantastic, curated selection of cheeses with ample information about each, all at a reasonable price. I truly credit this shop with sparking a passion for both eating and learning more about cheese. While they carry an impressive selection of imported products, I also appreciate the very deliberate showcasing of American-made cheeses and meats, not only through the wide variety carried in store, but also through the cheese of the month selection. Truly the best shop on Montana Ave!

This is the place to go for cheese in Santa Monica! The employees are super knowledgeable and will help you out. There are lots of rare cheese available you would normally not find places, along with some pates, charcuterie, sauces, beers, and wines. A true gem!

I went to the Beer and Grilled Cheese night and have shopped here several times. It’s clear that Andrew is a true expert on all things cheese, and this shop is very well curated. I always feel like I’m going to bring home something new and delicious when I come here. The live event was fun, especially learning new things about beer making, although I would have loved to try some more exotic cheeses. At this specialty shop, everything comes at a premium, so don’t expect a bargain. You pay for the expertise and recommendation of the staff.

Dry sandwich, bland, mediocre at best as far as sandwiches go.

I was very excited to go this cheese shoppe , as I’ve tried the few excellent ones in the Los Angeles , so this 1 hadn’t and close to my home. I found it odd that they said they didn’t offer tastes , so I purchased only one . I didn’t feel at all welcome in their shoppe so I purchased one and I left immediately. What a pity
