The Chatham Cheese Company

Amazing cheese & gourmet food and wine shop in Chatham! This is probably one of my favorite places on the Cape. A must-​do for anyone passing through. They also have a wide variety of local products — including a wine that restores 100 oysters per bottle!

Best place on Cape Cod to buy cheese! Located across from Del Mar restaurant, right on route 28. Heather can always recommend a great cheese and there is always a lot to choose from… never disappointed in her recommendations! If you’re lucky enough, you may go on a day that the Mac and cheese is made… simply delicious! The only downside to this place is it is not open year round, but totally worth the wait until spring!

Maybe we were here on an off-​day but we took a drive based on so many nice reviews and honestly, there were only about a dozen cheeses to choose from and they were awkwardly placed in a low display case that you had to bend over to look into as opposed to an above-​the-​waist case that I’ve seen at every other cheese shop.
Anyway, the clerk (owner) was not very welcoming, friendly, or attentive and offered no help or suggestions for which cheeses to try. I was disappointed to be left on my own but did manage to pick a few cheeses that were delicious.
The other items they offer for sale such as crackers, jellies, etc. can be found in any upscale grocer like Wegman’s or WholeFoods or even Fairway at a fraction of the cost here but it was nice to have everything in one place. I was surprised to see how much wine they offer for sale because I wasn’t expecting that at all.
Overall, I might visit again if having company because they do have some different cheeses than you’ll find other places, but it is expensive and not overly helpful.

Great selection of cheese. I can see how this would be a great site to stop before heading to the beach or on your boat for the day. They have cheese, baguettes, wines and a small selection of beer. I would have given 4 stars but I genuinely felt that the women behind the country, who I assume was the owner, really didn’t care if I was there or not.

Love, love, love!
Yes, a bit pricey, but so worth it, especially for special occasions.
Such a wide variety of specialty cheeses, crackers, etc.
And, the great thing is, that they allow you to «test» the cheeses before purchasing!
This is our «go-​to» place when preparing for company, holiday parties, etc.

Beautiful shop! Nice place to sit outside and eat a sandwich on the picnic tables.
We got some delicious cheeses, we enjoyed an excellent cheddar from March of 2006! It was so good! I think my Dad ate a whole pound!
They also sell wines, crackers, fancy little jams and jellys from the Chatham Jam and Jelly Store which is an EXCELLENT store!
The very best thing were these delicous Bequet Celtic Sea Salt Caramels. They are $ 3.99 for four and you bet I bought a lot of them.
I am not a big sweets person, but these were perfect. My whole family loved them.
Can’t wait to come back next year!

Good cheeses, good service — just a little overpriced. Overall I would have liked a bit more help with picking out interesting stuff. But no major complaints here, and I’d probably go back again.

I really liked this shop and don’t think the negative reviews are warranted. The cheeses are reasonably priced, at least according to this Manhattanite!
We got the pecorino romano and garrotxa. Both were delicious. We also bought their pesto sauce — can’t wait to taste it!
The service was friendly and accommodating.

Great asset to Chatham. Reasonable prices on wine and cheese and cheese-​related products like jams and other spreads. Reasonable for Chatham, at least. Friendly staff who are knowledgeable and who don’t seem to want to automatically push you to the most expensive bottle of wine or cheese if asked for a suggestion.
