Cheese & Board — Local services in West Chicago Township

RUN, don’t walk, to this absolute gem that should NOT be hidden!

I’m not exaggerating when I say this shop is dangerously good—in the best possible way. From the second you step inside, your mouth will start to salivate… fresh bread, and displays packed with cheeses, meats, and gourmet treats you won’t find anywhere else in Chicago.

Grace, the owner, and her team are some of the warmest, most knowledgeable people you’ll ever meet. You can tell they genuinely LOVE what they do. They don’t just hand you cheese—they walk you through flavors, textures, pairings, and let you try things until you find your perfect match. Their passion is contagious.

And the boards? STUNNING. Whether you want something cute for a holiday, elegant for a dinner party, or totally custom for a celebration, they absolutely nail it every single time. (I've bought three boards from them since they opened and I'll definitely be back for the Holidays!) Everything is fresh, thoughtfully selected, and styled so beautifully you almost don’t want to touch it… almost. My family and friends devour every last bit.

This shop has EVERYTHING: Cheeses from all over the world Freshly sliced cured meats Honeycomb, olives, caviar, crackers Crispy French bread Imported European butters that are out of this world Ready-to-go or custom charcuterie boards for ANY occasion

It’s the perfect spot for date nights, gifts, hosting, or even just treating yourself. Every visit is fun, friendly, and delicious.

If you love good food, good vibes, and supporting a woman-owned small business—go. Immediately. Once you go once, you’ll be back again and again. Did I mention, I don't even live in Chicago? Worth the special trip every time I'm in town. LOVE!

We are incredibly lucky to have a fantastic new cheese shop open in West Loop! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a welcoming vibe. The owner, Grace, is so friendly and shared that she is passionate about cheese and enjoys entertaining, which inspired her to open her own store. The Cheese King and Cheese Prince also add to the shop's warm and inviting atmosphere- they are experts on everything cheese.

But it's not just the friendly faces that make this place special; it's also the incredible selection. Whether you're a fan of cow's milk cheeses, sheep's milk cheeses, or goat's milk cheeses, you'll find an impressive variety to indulge in. Beyond the cheese, they're truly a one-stop shop for all your charcuterie needs. You can pick up high-quality crackers, fresh, crusty French bread, an assortment of charcuterie meats, olives, honeycomb, and much more. They even sell premade charcuterie boards (which are gorgeous by the way) if you need one in a pinch.
