As far as I'm concerned, the constellation of the bookstore, Willoughby's coffee and this cheese shop make the center of Madison's universe. The charm of this town centers on this triad, and the cheese shop and its sandwiches are essential. I've only been once and tried the Cheesy Chin, but it was the perfect pairing of sweet and savory, blending stilton with a drizzle of honey and serving it on a rosemary focaccia and layered with chicken for some protein and texture. More than that, the staff were extremely friendly and happy to walk us through an eccentric parade of cheeses, both mild and alluringly foul. This shop takes it's cheese seriously, with all the inventory of a Whole Foods, but with the passion of staff that actually know what each block stands for on the nose and tongue. It's a touch out of the way from the central avenue, but make the extra 50 foot trip - it's well worth it for a savory treat.
