THE CHEESE SHOPPE
1800 Long Beach Boulevard, Surf City, (609) 494-4630
“This is always our first stop on the island.” That's what our customers tell us again and again. While “Cheese Shop” says part of it, with over a hundred varieties of cheeses to choose from, “Gourmet Shop” is a better fit. Here you will find a large selection of olive oils, crackers, jams and jellies, fresh roasted coffee beans, barbecue sauces, fresh pastas, and the list goes on. But that still doesn't say it all. If you need a creative gift basket or cheese tray, that's their specialty. With twenty-plus years of experience, stop in to see for yourself. It's all about having fun—life is short, why not stop in and indulge your senses? Open 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM daily.
