Great selection of sandwiches, drinks, and most importantly, cheeses! It was very busy when we visited so be sure to be patient. The wait is well worth it!

Call in advance and pick up your order from the walk-up window around the side of the building. Save yourself from the crush of people that are almost always in line inside!

Loved the variety of items there. Fun shopping experience. You can find anything from fudge, divinity, pralines etc, Southern style peanuts (large selection) to wine, and of course Kitschy tourist attractions. Fun place to poke around.

We usually have lunch here. Love the fresh ingredients mad to order sandwiches (same tuna salad as the Trellis) and get the chips. My husband and I have found our favorite flavors! Grab a grape soda in a glass bottle from the cooler and wow! Lunch is just too good:) Seating can be a bit tricky and they always seem... More

I had heard so many rave about The Cheese Shop so we thought we'd drop by while we were walking around Colonial Williamsburg one night. We had a bottle of wine waiting at our Condo and thought a cheese tray would be great with it. The shop has a large variety of cheeses from many states, chutneys, dried fruits, freshly... More

It may look like a shop. But the sandwiches are great. The wait can be long but they post your wait time. You have to order and find a place to eat. Some tables but very busy at lunch time. The shop offers lots of products. Worth a visit and cheaper then the other square eat places.

Very nice lunch. We had 'Bread Ends" the house dip and a cheese platter. Very nice and reasonably priced.

We wanted a sandwich for lunch without a restaurant experience. We had wonderful freshly made ingredients and fresh salads we chose from the cooler. My shrimp salad was excellent with large shrimp with a tasty mayo celery, onion dressing. We each had a glass of wine and were very happy with our choices. The covered side outdoor area was pleasant... More

Don't let the line deter you. The sandwiches are the best around. And the wine shop is stellar. It's my "go to" Williamsburg place. I never wanna miss it on any trip down here. Love, love, love!

If you're in the mood for a delicious sandwich made with fresh bread and the freshest ingredients, this is the place for you. The shop is always busy - a good sign anywhere - but the line moves quickly. You enter the line on the left side of the order counter (if you've read this first, you'll look like a... More
