Stand Alone Cheese, Jackson Heights NY

Fantastic shop, well organized and clean! Huge seletion and very knowledgeable about the product inventory. As someone with an allergy to cows milk (I can have goat/sheep with no problems) it was wonderful to have such a variety of options! We made the journey all the way from SI and we plan on doing it again:) check this shop out if you love all things charcuterie!

Exceptional food.
Well made recommendations.
This is a gem of a shop with a stellar staff.

I stopped by this store on Thursday, December 21st to purchase one item I’d originally placed online for a pick-up order a few weeks ago.

I noticed it’s a small store, so I actually walked in. The store is very small and quaint.

I wasn’t greeted at all, in fact I walked in and said hi. Look at my picture, you can see my face clearly.

I think the male owner and the female owner were actually surprised to see me, walk into their shop. The vibe inside was really off to me. They were helping a white woman, who purchased some goods and a white man walked in after me, they said hello to him and seemed like they preferred to deal with him.

The female owner actually helped me but the male owner, with the mousy brown curls, looked like he didn’t want to bother with me.

The entire experience is sad because had the customer service treatment been better, I would’ve given them a much better review since they had a few quality items.

When the man gave me the bag with the items I purchased, I couldn’t say thank you before leaving as I did feel rushed.

It felt passive aggressive to me, especially since they are a small business. I live in Brooklyn, so I would’ve made the trek out here to Queens since I actually liked the products that I purchased.

Needless to say, I wouldn’t be back. I just didn’t have a good experience there. The shop is very small, I mean very small. It doesn’t look the cleanest either but because they are pretty niche, it seems to work for them.

For me, nope. Won’t come back.

Sorry.

Nice and helpful people. Great products. Would highly recommend. I really enjoy shopping here.

This is one of my favorite cheese shops in NY! They carry a great selection of cheese, charcuterie and accompaniments. The owners and staff are amazing - friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about cheese. They also host cheese tasting classes! I highly recommend.

Thanks to “Stand alone Cheese” for such an amazing plate of cheeses and cold cuts. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Awesome cheese shop! Very knowledgeable staff. Great local/east coast selection as well as US and Europe. Tons of conservas, crackers, jams, butter and slice to order charcuterie.

Glad to have a wonderful range of cheeses and very helpful and knowledgeable staff to guide me through it. I also stop by Stand Alone Cheese for other essentials like crusty bread, crackers, pasta and tinned fish.

So many yummy cheeses and other provisions. The owner and employees are always wonderful, helpful and welcoming.

Just moved to the neighborhood and this place immediately became a staple of ours. Great selection and service, top quality and good prices

Peter’s special cheese is the best! Ask the staff for that beautiful hunk of Montgomery’s Cheddar for a good lickin’!

I’ve been a customer since the very beginning and I’m so happy I don’t need to commute to Manhattan to buy products of very high quality. They have just the right amount of goods to make our lives better - trust me! Their variety of cheese is just fair and the charcuterie never disappoints. The couple is very polite, resourceful and they are always there for you, to answer your questions and, in case you need a good suggestion, you will be surprise on how they really know the business they’re running - very rare in this kind of gastronomic field, where some people who sell have no idea what they’re doing. As a chef, a father and an entrepreneur, I highly recommend this tinny peace of the paradise for cheese/charcuterie lovers.

Their products are SUPER high quality and their staff is really nice. I totally recommend their Cambonzola and the mozzarella

Fabulous addition to a great neighborhood for the senses! Great customer service and knowledge shared by staff and owners!

Updated 11/22-Still the best cheese in the area! Stefan knows his stuff and they are always rotating new and exciting things in with the customer favorites.

They have the best selection and everything always tastes fantastic! Ask for recommendations if you don't know what you're looking for, they always have new things to try.

Beautiful amazing cheese and other goodies. Across the street from Table Wine. Together the shops are a perfect pair.

Amazing cheese, super helpful and knowledgeable staff and owner. Went in and asked for suggestions on cheeses for a small party and left with everything I needed and more.
