Center Street Cheese Shop

Came in here on a whim and my mom and I ended up loving it and coming back the next day!
Patty and Lauren are so friendly and sweet, if you have no idea what you want feel free to ask them!
Will definitely be coming here again whenever I have a craving for cheese… this coming from a cheese lover. :)

I can find my raw cheeses here. I like the brue, triple cream etc.
Update: So I learned from another cheese store that you can’t really sell raw soft cheeses like brie and triple cream because they would sour and produce some whey if they were left over 60 days (which is USA’s requirement for minimum age of cheeses). Hmmm, I’m beginning to wonder if they told me the truth. It’d be nice to get a response from Center Street Cheese Shop.

Great selection of cheeses. They had the types of cheeses I wanted and allowed me to taste a few I had never had. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff helped me make some good decisions. Purchase a baguette, but they neglected to give it to me and I got home without realizing I didn’t have it in my bag.

Great cheese and treats and even better company. Thanks Steve for the great service and appetizers! A very good selection of cheeses and a few speciality meats. NOT an average deli case! Something different and unique. I wish them well and much future success!
We had the 3 item plate and it was wonderful and tasty late afternoon treat that was artistically presented for our delight on a beautiful porch like setting out front. We will be back soon!

Don’t go here for this:
It’s a gourmet cheese shop — very happy to have one close to home and easily accessible!
I’ve only purchased cheese «to go» — haven’t tried any of their ready to eat offerings.
Prices are appropriate for gourmet level cheeses.
There’s a small selection of gift items, looks pretty cool, but I’d need to check the prices for those items.
Center Street cheese shop also offers a loyalty card, make eight sandwich or cheese purchases and get one free!
It’s a small shop, only one or two people serving and not busy when I have visited.
My experience with their customer service is what stands out for me and earns a 5 star rating.
Needed to pick up some brie for a dinner party. I was in a hurry, I sampled 2 or 3 of them and made my choice — turned out we didn’t even use the brie for the party — instead we had it the next evening — I’m pretty sure it was my mistake, but I bought the one I didn’t want!
I purchased two pre packaged portions of brie — The day after that I called Center Street CS and explained what happened, I had one unopened prepackaged cheese — I figured «no way» but why no ask: Any chance of exchanging it?
To my surprise they said come on in, we’ll take care of it!
There were different servers working than the evening I bought the cheese — I couldn’t find the receipt, but they were able to look it up by the CC number. No problem at all exchanging to the brie I wanted.
A great example of caring customer service — They’ve earned another regular customer!

I lived across the street from here during my college program at Disneyland. It’s amazing and fresh. The caprese sandwich is to die for. They also offer a Disney employee discount and a stamp card system which is nice if you go there a lot like I did. The staff is very nice and very knows a lot about the cheeses

Oh Cheese how I miss you from my regular diet. But cheese when I do indulge in you it will be from Center Street Cheese Shop. What a great little shop. It is very easy to stop in and spend way more than planned on cheese, but it is delicious and high quality so well worth it for an occasional indulgence.
The staff is knowledgeable and will let you sample before you purchase. Also for lunch you can get a great cheese plate with a baguette to go, I think it is around $ 10 to $ 12 sorry cant remember with 3 chesses Marconi almonds, little pickled things, and bread.
The store is neat, clean, organized and totally cute.

What a wonderful treat on a Sunday Afternoon! Strolling downtown Anaheim, Fitbit on my wrist and suddenly became hungry, look to the right and there was a cute little cheese shop screaming build your own grilled cheese sandwich. Look at the cheese display and decided to try the Honey Bee Goat Gouda Cheese Grilled Cheese parried with Chilled Apple Beer. One bite and I thought I had made an entry into the cheese heaven on earth! 5 stars to the Cheese Shop and their staff!

Cheese experts with great service! I came here just to buy a gift for a cheese lover and know nothing about cheeses so they gave me a bunch of samples and helped me put together an awesome variety platter. I also picked up a beautiful and delish 7 item meat and cheese sampler for the hubby which he loved! I actually don’t even eat cheese but the samples and sampler were really good!

Even though the place is kinda small, it makes up for the variety of cheeses to try. I tried the cheese plate that included 5 of my choice for $ 18. Everything was fresh and the service was good.

This is a super cute cheese shop that makes some killer sandwiches! The cheese boards at first look like there isn’t much to eat but as you make your way through all the cheese it’s quite filling! All of the cheeses are so different but so tasty. Also, the sides they put on the board compliment the cheese perfectly! The ladies behind the counter are very helpful and very nice! All this little shop is missing is some wine., then it would be solid gold! Check this place out!

On a rainy day in what seemed to be the business district in Anaheim, I found this little gem.
I like creating meat and cheese boards at home, and I already had my salami and bread. All that was missing was the artisan cheese!
They have a variety of cheeses, and the lady working the day I went was very helpful (I hate not catching names!) I was looking for a creamy white cheese and she gave us a couple of samples before we settled.
They also have a selection of crackers and various condiments to go along with your cheese. There’s a pub nearby too for you beer and cheese lovers!

Great selection of cheeses and good food to they have some jams and jars very nice place to come try somethings. NEW.

We were on the hunt to try some new cheese and we came across this shop. We absolutely loved it. The customer service was great. We tried some samples of the cheese and meat. We told him what we usually like and he gave us tips on what we should try. We ended having a cheese platter. The cheese and meat we tried was delicious. At the end we got some bread on the house to take home. We will definitely come here again for some more cheese tasting.

We ordered a cheese plate, and we got a work of art.
My girlfriend and I were just strolling by, and decided to pop in and grab a quick cheese plate. For the price, we were expecting something simple. We were very happy to be wrong.
The gentleman working the shop, Sergio, was not only cool and friendly, but he was helpful and VERY knowledgable. He also turned out to be something of a cheese artist (which I didn’t know was possible). He spent SO MUCH TIME and put SO MUCH CARE into creating a cheese plate for us, which is rare in today’s «fast food» society. When the plate came out, I was floored by it’s complexity and beauty. The cheeses (which he chose specifically for us based on our likes and dislikes) were matched with the most amazing toppings and sauces, amazing things that I’d never heard of before, but that were magical. He even recommended which sort of beer would go well with the plate so my girl could grab a drink from the shop next door. He even served us on their patio and turned up his lovely music so we could enjoy it from next door.
Simply put, our «quick stop» became the perfect, magical experience. Something I never expected from a cheese shop.
Thanks Sergio!!! We’ll DEFINITELY be back!

LOVE cheese. I’ve been going here for the past year and a half, ever since I bought my condo down the street.
I love coming here because they always inform me of new cheese they got or that they recommend me. You must try their truffle cheeses too! Your taste buds will thank me. I typically get a 5-​cheese plate when I go. I let her know what I am feeling for when I come because my taste changes frequently. For example, there are times I want something sharp, or heavy; (Barely Buzzed is really good) Or days where I want something sweeter (Ewephoria) or creamy.
They also give great pairings for each cheeses they give you such as nuts, honeys or jams. I am no cheese expert, but I do have an appreciation for cheese. She also is aware of my allergies and doesn’t give me any berries or tropical items. She slices me some baguette to take home. The workers her are friendly and patient. It is almost like an art of cheese she is getting for you. Never feel fear for asking her questions about cheese! They are the experts and know much more than we do. Think of them as your personal cheese connoisseur.

Friendly and helpful people guide you on your path towards a cheese you will love!
In addition to the delectable cheeses, they also sell jams, preserves, honeys, and honeycomb.
Today I splurged on a creamy, lush cheese to pair with a small honeycomb, some oat crackers, and apricot jam.
The cheese cutters and animal shaped cutting boards are such a great idea for holiday and food party gifts!
We will definitely return for more cheeses and also to try their sandwiches!
Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Let’s get this out of the way first… i wish I were in France with all the cheese and baguettes my hear desired. The reality is… I’m not!
Next best thing… you are lucky enough to live or work close by.
I order a 3 or 5 pc cheese plate and I am transported to France in moments.
The shop is cute and has little gift like things that are great take away too.
If you find yourself wandering down Center Street Promenade… stop here!!! You will be happy you did!

Cheeses are good. Saw flies in the case but all the cheeses are individually wrapped so they didn’t touch the cheese. But seeing dead flies on the edges in the case made me feel gross.
SERVICE (3)
Girl was nice. I asked how the cheese plate works and she said she usually puts together some choices depending on what we like. I asked her to include 2 I definitely wanted, and she never really asked what else I liked to make the plate… I wish she asked for more of what we liked before picking the cheeses. Also, she gave the minimalist amount of jam to pair with my cheese! All of the pairings were so minimal! The cheese shop in the OC mix gives a greater amount of their pairings. The cheese was good though. My favorites are humboldt fog and Fromager d’affinois! Try them :)
Probably would have been a 4 star if I hadn’t been to the one in the OC Mix first.

I needed some holiday gifts for my clients and thought why buy some mass produced gift baskets when I can support our local small business. So I when over here and asked them to put together some baskets with some non-​parishable items and a hard cheese as I had to deliver all over So Cal with a long day in the car. The young man was concerned he could not make 7 baskets in 2 hours, but he managed just fine.
The only reasons they didn’t get 4 stars — they charge $ 14 for the crate (ok I get it), $ 15 for putting the crates together (I don’t get it, especially when there are on other customers and I’m buying more product than they sold all day) and there was not ribbon or holiday decoration (I added it to them). Hopefully they can make this part of their normal line.
