Picnic Cheese Shop

While in Chomp Food Hall in Santa Fe, I came across the Picnic Cheese Shop.  It only opened in this location last summer but they have a history of catering and they know their cheeses. I told them I like cheddar (not being much of an experimenter when it comes to cheese!) and I was offered the Red Rock Bleu. It was Cheddar with veins of Bleu. Very tasty, unique, and pretty, too. It reminded me of the patterns in turquoise. I hope I can resist eating it until I put it on my charcuterie board on New Year's Eve!They also sell charcuterie boxes and plates which I plan on ordering for visits to the Santa Fe Opera next summer.   In the Food Hall is a bar so folks can order wine or cocktails and get cheese, bread, meats, etc, and have a nice relaxed time. There was lots of seating on the main level and a loft with cushioned chairs for extra seating. Added bonus: the owners were super friendly and informative. Looking forward to coming back!

Lady was rude when I asked a question. "On a deadline" she said. She couldn't be bothered for "30 minutes".Wow, Just freaking wow. If I could give negative stars, I would.

Firstly, thanks for being so kind to my kids! I appreciate it! The owners are so sweet.What we ordered: mushroom soup, grilled cheese, and the sandwich.Each was so delicious especially the grilled cheese! The description likened it to a French onion soup and it was. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Sandwich had a solid balance of meat to cheese. The bread is great! Top notch use of spicy mustard. Soup was so yummy! If you love mushrooms you'll love this soup. It came with 2 pickled carrots which were delicious!Picnic is located in a food hall. Noise was average, smaller parking lot. I can see both casual and date night vibes.

Words can't describe how beautiful is this place, a true masterpiece out of this world. U rarely come across a nice cheese section in a big grocery store's let alone a whole store specialized in cheese and cheese platters. The store instgram page has a beautiful mouth watering pictures for some of what they sold definitely highly recommend to visit. Very unique gift for different occasions.Shoutout to the team out there very hospitable and welcoming. 11 out 10 experience will definitely come back

Just tried this place and it was great! The woman there was super helpful and the green chile pimento cheese delighted us, especially my husband who LOVES LOVES pimento cheese. She had gluten free crackers and we had a glass of wine with it. Will definitely be back.
