The Cheese Parlor - Livermore, California

Their passion for cheese is unparalleled. They really know what they’re doing here and they only have the best of the best. We tried a couple of different sampler platters and everything was delicious. They also have happy hour and other fun things to try like canned fishes and lots of different pickled items.

Came based on a recommendation from a local. It was a great spot for an afternoon snack. I appreciated the dealers choice aspect because I was able to try several I might not have tried on my own. The deep knowledge of the origins of each cheese. The pairings on the board were good. We definitely had some accompaniments that we purchased after trying them.

One of our absolute favorites! The Cheese Parlor offers absolutely amazing cheeses, but it’s the staff that really make it a wonderful experience. Every single staff member is beyond knowledgeable and so warm and kind.

We will often have lunch or dinner with their cheese mongers plates. As a vegetarian they offer to swap out the meats for additional cheeses and the accompaniments are smaller, mostly local craft makers and companies. Again, all are absolutely delicious! They also offer wine, beers and ciders on tap and a slew of canned beers for dine in or to go.

My family and I visited The Cheese Parlor on Christmas Eve, and we had the best time! The owner is incredibly friendly and has a loving family that adds to the warm atmosphere. The cheeses we tried were absolutely incredible, especially the gouda, which was so good that we took around a pound home. The wine selection is also excellent, and the cozy environment made our visit even more enjoyable. They treat their guests very well, making everyone feel welcome and valued. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delightful experience!

Best cheese shop in the area without having to cross the bay. The staff were friendly, gave me suggestions, and were happy to let me sample cheeses as well. Their pricing was pretty good too. They've got real variety unlike a grocery store having 5 brands of parmesan and 10 brands of cheddar. Apparently their stock can vary a bit, which makes sense so some things they'll have more regularly than others so going back later there should be new things to try.

Staff is friendly and always keep busy. The gentleman behind the counter was patient with my children and me while we chose the perfect cheese for our board. He offered different thicknesses in the prosciutto cuts. He warned us about heat in some tastings. He even hooked us up all the extras we didn't know we needed. Very helpful!

Excellent cheese board! Such a cute shop. Made a wonderful cheese board for my sister’s 40th birthday and we all enjoyed it very much.
