Attention cheese lovers: if you haven't visited this gourmet cheese (and more) store in the Palmetto State then there's no better time like the present. The Gourmet Cheese Shop in Columbia is overflowing with a phenomenal cheese selection (possibly the best in the South), and a whole lot more that'll pique your interest while you're there.
While The Gourmet Shop features a vast selection of merchandise that goes hand-in-hand with gourmet cheese (and gourmet cheese eating!), it's really the cheese that takes center stage here.
And you'll find a huge seasonal selection (in both size and quantity!) of fine cheese here, so much that you my need some help toting it all out to your car.
Choose from a selection of the finest artisanal cheeses from across America, Europe, and everywhere in between. Plus, you'll also find a variety of dried fruits, grapes, nuts, crackers, and freshly baked breads.
It's easy to see that The Gourmet Shop has a certain passion for cheese.
But they also offer a huge variety of other items. From baskets, to spreads, utensils, gourmet cooking ware, and more, you'll enjoy browsing the cheese-related items and the things that just pair perfectly with cheese ...
... like their wide assortment of fine wine. Need a recommendation for a wine to accompany your cheese? The friendly staff is always willing to make suggestions!
Accessories and wine aren't the only other things you'll find at The Gourmet Shop.
The Cafe serves brunch and lunch seven days a week, with both indoor and outdoor seating.
The Gourmet Shop has been an anchor in Columbia's trendy Five Points since 1979. It's kind of a cheese lover's one-stop-shop for cheese — and more!
