New World Cheese

Just got back from a delicious lunch at New World Cheese and I have to say — the service, atmosphere and food all exceeded my expectations! Our server was sincere, the dining room clean and inviting, and the food was clever, simple and made with high-​quality ingredients.
And the truffles were fantastic, too ;)
We will definitely be back!

Don’t be fooled by the small size of this little restaurant. This is a perfectly curated restaurant with exquisite, seasonal small plates. If that isn’t enough, they also sell the cheeses, charcuterie and other treats perfect for parties, or late night noshing.
I live in the neighborhood, and stop in often.
This would be a great place to get a bite while at the Tattered Cover Complex.

What a fantastic addition to the neighborhood!
Didn’t expect to be able to get lunch here in addition to picking up cheese!
Amazing fare includes great salads and soup too. Whoever put this menu together is sophisticated, experienced and passionate about food.
The owner and staff are enthusiastic and friendly, always around and eager to answer questions. Pricing is reasonable.
They also carry delicious (vegan) cashew milk cheeses – definitely a huge plus.
Highly recommend trying this place out.

I had such a great experience here. I asked for a small platter of meat and cheese to take to a social event. They asked me some questions, made some recommendation, got a price range, and off I went. A few hours later I came back and what I got was way beyond my expectations. Lots for the money, everything was fantastic, and there were leftovers for days. This is a great little addition to the neighborhood.

We saw a poster for this store in the parking garage & thought we would check it out after going to Tattered Cover. As we were checking out as the cashier at the bookstore about it and she raved. The owner of New World Cheese was friendly and informative. We asked for stinky cheese and she provided. She gave us samples, which helped in our decisions. The atmosphere is very cool. Theresa (the owner) said they do tastings & wine pairings. Sounds like a fun evening. We will definitely be back.

I first heard about this place opening up at the Chocolate festival over Mother’s Day. Stopped in this evening to grab some cheese for this weekend and was pleasantly surprised that not only do they have cheese but they also have a restaurant option. Teresa and her staff, including my new favorite Chocolatier from Chocolate Lab treated me to several delicious tastes, paired with some great wine and even some sweet treats from Chocolate Lab. I decided I absolutely had to stay for dinner. I went with a new twist on an old favorite the «Oh No You Didn’t» mac n cheese on a grilled cheese sandwich with a cup of tomato soup-​it was delicious! This little shop is definitely at the top of my list to return to.

I think I need to save my main review for another time when I’m able to go back.
They didn’t have a liquor license yet and so there was no wine :(but they said they are working on it!
All the cheeses were DELICIOUS and they had excellent small bites too! My favorite was the Shoshito peppers. Love those little things!
Do yourself a favor and let the experts pick your cheese and meat selections for you! Genius.
Overall really like and need to go back once they have wine and I bet I’ll LOVE!

Unparalleled cheese selection and expertise. One of the finest cheese shops I have visited. I shall return soon and frequently.

Found this place on the way to Tattered Cover. We had Mac and cheese and a sandwich made with delicious cheese and salami. Truffles were also tasty. Their website says they’re getting a beer and wine license soon. I’d love to try the Mac and cheese with a nice Spätlese on a cool day.

Great service and great cheeses.
Just got some cheesy goodness to go this time. Will be back for a meal soon. :)

Good assortment of American-​produced cheeses. Service was friendly and prices were acceptable. Only wish the person attending me could recommend things better rather than just tell me a memorized list for each cheese I inquired about. Would definitely have to come back to try the grilled cheese and mac and cheese.

What a great edition to the Congress Park neighborhood. We’re especially lucky since it is a 3 minute walk from our house! We’ve stopped in already on several occasions to pick out some cheese and spread for an appetizer when we have friends over. The employees who work there are friendly and knowledgeable, but the best is when the owner is there. She clearly has a passion for cheese, and loves being able to help customers pick out something they will enjoy.
New World Cheese also has a cheese-​based menu that you can enjoy if you choose to dine in. I recently had their grilled cheese specialty of the week, which was melted to perfection. The side salad we got as well had great dressing on it. It’s currently a bit hard for them to manage having someone who is serving dine-​in customers, as well as managing customers who are in to grab some cheese from the display cases. When they fix that kink, this will be as lovely a place to eat as it is to buy cheese from.

Nice lunch here today. Menu is actually smaller than what is listed on their website, but my salad was very good and my friend loved her cheese sandwich. I worry about the viability of the space – I’m not sure this location gets the right kind of walk-​by traffic (high school students) and I don’t know how many people visiting Tattered Cover or Twist & Shout actually know it’s here. Nice addition to the block; I hope they can make it there.

This place is great! Come here for cheese but stay for a meal. Their food menu is so good! I love the watermelon salad and the super gourmet mac & cheese. Make sure to take home some fenugreek gouda with you from the deli case. It’s so tasty! They also carry local cheese makers like Broken Shovels.

Yes indeedy, if you like cheese and cured meat get into New World Cheese. I have to recommend this place for multiple reasons. It’s clearly privately owned and operated, and from the moment you set foot in the door it exudes the qualities that local Coloradans have come to love and to a certain extent expect out of a new neighbor.
The people running the place when I went in, would be my guess was the primary owner/​operators were more than accommodating with my date and I’s questions. They spoke with a passion that would rival only one describing a fine wine — on that note, I was thrilled to hear they are pending their liquor license! Bottom line — they knew what they were talking about, and they liked talking about it.
The pricing was fair, and in my opinion hit the target audience right on the bull’s eye.
They just opened so its still a little bare bones inside, but the promise is there.
The salami, prosciutto, and blue cheese I took home was absolutely some of the best I have had in the state.
Stoked to get in again to try the whole menu.
Baby Jesus Salami — just do it.

This was a very pleasant experience. We stopped in to check out the cheese shop and found it was also a café. The décor is light and well thought out. The sandwiches were light and tasty. I had a capicola, with some nice peppers and cheese to compliment the flavor. The price was pretty good for a café as well.
The staff were helpful and knowledgable. The cheese selections are all from the Americas, so if you are looking for specific European cheeses this isn’t the place for you, but they have all varieties you can imagine, well labeled with price, milk type, and flavor notes. They sample anything you want, and there was some cured butter which they brought out with the sandwiches.
Great place for light fare and cheese perusing.

Went by New World Cheese for lunch today. While cheese is great, I wouldn’t necessarily think of going to a cheese shop for a meal, which is why I was glad they have a good assortment of hot and cold sandwiches made from their cheeses and cured meats.
Great sandwich, and the owner/​staff are very enthusiastic and friendly, and eager to answer any questions you have about any of their products. Highly recommend trying this place out. The prices for most of the cheeses and other products seem very reasonable.
We’ve been back several times and loved each visit. Side arugula salad option is great, and the mac n cheese is great for kids. Also the grilled cheese and «oh no you didn’t» sandwiches are great (bread from Denver Bread Co — yum!)

Cute little cheese shop with American farmstead and artisan cheeses. I was very excited to find out they also carry (vegan) cashew milk cheeses that are aged with enzymes and taste so close to the real thing that they could convert me!
They will be offering wine and beer pairings with cheese in the near future, which makes it even better! I love supporting local and small business, so I’ll definitely be back!

Cheese, cheese, cheese!
Cheese café, cheese shop, cheese tapas.
Mac ‘n’ cheese, grilled cheese… and figs, beets, salads, deserts.
Colfax, met your cheesy new neighbor! I stumbled upon the two-​week-​old New World Cheese shop while walking between a bookworm session at Tattered Cover and a much-​needed burrito bowl from Chipotle. «Woah, what’s this cute little store?» I thought, drawn in by the cute décor and the intrigue of a storefront that was not Red Mango. Jackpot! Teresa – who personally introduced herself to this befuddled store stumbler – has created an beautiful, intimidate space to sell and serve a wildly creative menu of cheese-​based treats. I can barely tell pecorino from asiago, but one doesn’t need to be an expert to know that «Ugly Goat Goats’ Milk Fudge» and «Gouda Waffle» are going to be delicious additions to the Congress Park neighborhood. Most excitingly, New World Cheese (let’s just go ahead and make NWC a thing, mmmmkay?) will be hosting a Chocolate Lab pop-​up shop once a month. It can’t possibly get any better than this!
Yay cheese! Yay Colfax!
