We expected great things before we set foot in the door, located right across the street from the Thornbury bakery, it was easy to spot. The decor was quite cool, but the cheese selection wasn't that impressive. Staff was friendly and willing to give samples. Overall, a good experience, but it didn't blow me away.

It's the staff, decor, relaxed seating, local artisans' work, teas, wines, beer & yes, cheese, that make this a major destination for anyone! Our B&B Guests tell us that there is nothing like it in Southern Ontario that they are aware of & plan to return for the Cheese Gallery Goodies!
