BravoNovember 22, 2010The best selection of cheese in NY with a great staff to help you. -Ed Cotton, Top Chef
Caroline SchulweisMarch 11, 2015Take one of the wine and cheese classes (book on website ahead of time)! They'll walk you through wine and cheese pairings with a wine expert and a cheese expert. It's a great date night activity.
- Unique pantry finds, from spicy honey and artisanal olive oil to local blueberry preserves and handmade pasta. Perfect pairings for all that cheese.
Maximum BurgerApril 3, 2019One of if not THE best cheese joint(s) in the city. Modestly priced if undersized sandwiches. Great selection of interesting take home cheeses and meats and other provisions. Here’s ham and cheese
- Breakfast melt for the win! English muffin + fried egg + thick bacon + (obviously) melted cheese. Doesn't look appetizing, but delicious for $6 & free cup of coffee.
The cheese mongers are very knowledgeable. They can suggest alternative cheeses to what you like in general. If you can take a class!
Stephanie Berry SklutApril 6, 2014This is the best of NY. Education along with service and the taste! People elsewhere may gasp but it's the best $50.00 you will ever spend on gourmet food, if you can keep it that low!
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 12, 2013Go to the take away counter inside here for Murray's Melts, and get the Breakfast Melt - fontina, bacon, and fried egg on an english muffin. Leave happy.
Julie SosciaJanuary 29, 2019One of few locations, probably the most famous and oldest cheese shop in NYC. Grab some to go because you'll definitely want to bring lots home to munch on.
So much choice, don’t be scared to ask the lovely cheese people for a recommendation, you can taste test and tell them exactly how much you want to spend. Their tasting nights are also incredible!- Beakira LeaMarch 10, 2018To be honest it's been a while since we got down here! But when we did its the best grilled cheese (unlike another reviewer America) I'm going to say the best grilled cheese in the world.
Anabella MingoJanuary 24, 2016Murray's is not only a great place for buying cheese but also to have a quick lunch. Good stop if you are visiting the neighborhood and don't want to overspend. Try the Mac n cheese!- David SmithApril 17, 2021Wide range of cheese is available. One of the great shop. They are wine expert and a cheese expert. Amazing grilled cheese sandwiches.

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍December 26, 2019Murray's Cheese is New York's quintessential cheese shop. The whole restaurant/bar scheme puts cheese on a whole new platform. Order a bottle of wine & drift through multiple courses of meat & cheese
Summer BedardJune 4, 2014If you love cheese, don't miss this place. Try the Cambozola Black, the Ossau-Iraty Vieille, and if you are feeling adventurous ask to taste the "C Local" which stinks like the C train.
Serious EatsMarch 29, 2013One of the city's top cheese shops with incredible selection and always-friendly staff. Grilled cheese sandwiches and sweet snacks are winners, too.
Kathy MatthiesenDecember 17, 2015The restaurant is two doors down from the main shop on Bleecker. I recommend the Cheesemonger plate to share with friends and pretty much everything on the menu!- Leisl EvansSeptember 7, 2020I Loved it. My preference is probably cream cheese, and the kinds they have here are mind-blowing. It's awesome. The people who work there really know their things.
Miguel A.November 4, 2014While you are you should try one of their affordable gourmet sandwiches. I recommend the "Oh man, that's good". It's to die for.
Alina BrugalJuly 2, 2014Cheese 101 class is educational, fun and super yummy. They refill your wine and champagne whenever you're running low... so drink up
- Devin CozzDecember 23, 2020Best cheese shop in town. Huge collection of cheese with wide variety. Price is affordable. Fresh cheese always available. Recommended to friends. Must visit once.
Brian BallSeptember 14, 2013Grab a melt or flatbread (and a beer) and walk to Washington Square Park for people watching, live music and the fountain! A perfect lunch experience in the village!
Paige CMay 9, 2018They do a lot of fun events and classes upstairs. Really good selection and gourmet items downstairs!
Katie SchlossFebruary 22, 2012They have cheese caves. In New York City. AH-mazing. They do classes & tastings on-location & for private events, and their Cheese of the Month pairings are some of the best. presents. ever.- DoubleDeuceApril 4, 2015Full and fantastic selection of cheeses.

A must do if you're visiting. Grilled cheese sandwiches, cheese to go, great kitchen gifts, chocolate. They have such a variety.
Martha Stewart doesn't mind the sandwiches from here and neither do I. Little craft beer selection, great meats and cheeses. Like that they stock Fred water.
Kushal DaveDecember 10, 2014Get the Hudson Flower. They make it in their caves with a rind of local flowers, hops, and herbs. It is the best cheese.
Sofia PapastamelosMay 29, 2017A cheese lover's heaven! Staff is very helpful and loved the bagels with homemade cream cheese for breakfast option.
jonathan leiterDecember 30, 2015Excellent selection. Bit of a hassle even on a Wednesday AM! Opted for blue cheese listed at $18.99 a pound. Rang up at $29.99 Don't Assume!
BBLT (Bacon, Burrata, Lettuce, Tomato) GET IT NOW! This is not a 'melt' because of the burrata... AND they use Romaine... Cuz life's too short to eat bullshit lettuce!
Celena ChanJune 23, 2015Helpful and friendly cheesemongers! The one who helped me made some great suggestions Make sure to take a number and wait to be called.
Melanie BouleyNovember 25, 2015What an amazing place. The employees are very patient and will happy let you sample the cheeses and meats before you make a final decision.
Cristy JohnJuly 19, 2011Friendly staff and the widest selections of cheese and dairy products in the city. Great organic smoked salmon, chicken sausage and chocolates Their freshly made pasta is Amazing- esp Crab Ravioli.
New York HabitatNovember 1, 2011Outstanding selection of cheese and cured meats here. Find everything from a mild cheddar to the stinkiest washed rind cheese.

Sir KensingtonAugust 11, 2011Here I encountered an old Fromagier by the name of Rusty. He told me, "I lived in a cave as a gruyere ager in my youth, I've drunk goat cheese from the teet, But I've never had cheese this GOOD!"
Fernanda Di GiaimoJuly 19, 2013The cheese smell when you enter the store is irresistible. Great selection of world cheeses, beers, chocolates and other gourmet wishes !!
