Friendly and welcoming! I loved how they greeted us and gave us great recommendations based on what we typically drink. We ordered a cider and a sparkling rose which we both enjoyed as we walked around Ghiradelli Square. They were kind enough to even say if we didnt enjoy either that they would find us something else! I would love to come back and try their cheese and charcuterie next time Im in the area.

Loved this place! Stopped in after walking around the bay. Kept it simple with a grilled cheese and a glass of wine. The blend of cheese was superb, and the California wine was superb. Lovely views of the bay, definitely a relaxing experience. Staff was friendly, and I loved the cheese shop inside the restaurant! Wish I could’ve taken some for the road (I don’t think the cheese would have made the cross country flight home). Highly recommend for any cheese lover looking to relax.

I highly recommend getting their meat & cheese board! I was hesitant to order it at first, simply because I was skeptical that it would be enough for for the price. However, it did not disappoint! The accompaniments were paired very well, it was all quite tasty. Their grilled cheese was also very flavorful, especially with the tomato soup on the side. The only thing we didnt like as much was that we couldnt get much info out of our cashier while we were trying to order - we wanted to know the portion sizes of a few items, but we werent given any helpful answers. She also made it seem like the meet & cheese board would be smaller, and that the sandwich would be much bigger. So that wasnt really true. Overall though, the food was great and the staff was very friendly!

Amazing little cheese spot to pick up a picnic, have a cheesy bite, or take a class. Loved their wine selection and incredible cheeses! I must take a Summer School class, only $30 for 1 hour lesson and tasting with wine. So excited!!

My onion soup had so little cheese. For the price they are charging, I was hoping for a bigger ball with lots of cheese. The pork sandwich was very good but naked. Once again, for the price it could have a small side. The service was nice but the items are so overpriced.

I had the cheese tray which was incredibly well-balanced. it had three kinds of cheeses one hard one medium and one soft. It also had some other nice pieces of baguette and some dried fruit and other things which balanced out extremely well and paired nicely with the red wine I chose.theres also a classroom upstairs to take classes related to cheese. In addition, the staff here is incredibly friendly and helpful.

Best kept secret in Ghirardelli Square. Crowds outside, fantastic view from the inside. I loved the corn nuts added to the cheese board. Nice touch.

Say Cheese - we had the French onion soup, the daily cheese board, & red wine. Everything was delicious, the service was personable, & the view was stunning.

Great selection of food, cheese, and wine. Extremely pleasant, friendly, and helpful staff. Not sure which cheese to get? Someone will be happy to help you decide, including giving samples of the many varieties on hand to help you make your decision. Theres a restroom for customers inside, but its a small, one person at a time space. Seating inside is sightly limited, but theres plenty of room in the square out front. If you get a seat inside, the view is pretty darn good, sitting above the street, looking out towards the water.I did not attend one of their specially cheese aficionado classes, just bought some cheese and bread, but would definitely consider it, given the range of topics they had listed over the next month or so!Did I mention their great staff? They have awesome staff on hand!

Pretty cool, new find😁😁

They have a great selection of cheeses that you order and eat there or take home.They also have classes in wine and cheese.

Great classes, friendly staff and nice selection of delectable food.

European style bistro and deli which sells all kinds of cheese, hams, prosciuttos, salami and more and more delicacies.They also serve few dishes and soups. My tomato soup with garlic and parmiggiano reggiano was very tasty.Inside decorations are very nice and I really felt more like back home in Europe than in America.Staff is very polite and kind.Just prices are a quite high but it’s worth it to pay for such a good food! :)

The best Ibhave had in years.

Ive been there for the first private dinner they hosted. This was a magical experience. One cheese is arranged in three different plates (appetizer, main course and dessert), and it is matched with wine. It was so good! The chief and the owner were talking about the cheese, the recipe and the wine before each part of the meal. It was totally worth it and I highly recommend this whole experience.

If youre a cheese lover like me, theres nowhere better to learn about cheese. The class we took part in was extremely informative and tasty.The cheeses were great quality and extremely tasty. They sell all of the cheeses in the shop as well as a whole host of other cheeses from around the world.One of the best things about this place is that you can really feel the love they have for cheese and it shines through in everything they do, from their presentation, to the sheer amount of knowledge they have and the enthusiasm youre met with if you ask a question.

I have a newfound love for cheese after attending a cheese making class with Louella the Milk Maid and The Cheese School of San Francisco. It was hosted at Stable. Louella is a great teacher, and all the Cheeses School staff also know all you could possibly want to know about cheese. Cheese making is not as complicated as I expected. Its mostly about temperature and timing. I would definitely try to make some at home after this great class. What a fun experience!

I was interested in this place as soon as I seen it. My husband and I took 2 family members here. 3 of us ordered the grilled cheese with tomato soup and 1 ordered the Mac and cheese. The tomato soup wasn’t bad but honestly we weren’t big fans of the grilled cheese or Mac and cheese. I felt like I could have made way better at home. I love small portions of food but we didn’t feel like the price matched the food. I would go back to drink wine and eat cheese but I wouldn’t order any cooked food again.

Yummy!!!!!One word can describe this place. Great food, great service. They have a huge collection of cheese from around the world. Staff is educated well in cheese and happy to teach all about it.

An awesome grilled cheese!

Recently went here for a private cheese making class and it was a blast! Louella explained everything in a manner that both novice & experts could understand. All of her staff is extremely knowledgeable & happy to let you pick their brain. Id highly suggest signing up for one of her beginning classes if you are looking for a unique activity for a date.

Awesome food, all fresh and delicious.

Very small menu with a Cafe style of ordering. The food only took 10 min to arrive at the table and I was pleased with my macaroni but not overly impressed. The bowl was very hot to the touch and kept my food warm during my conversation with friends at the tables in the beautiful sunroom area of the restaurant. The water supplied was warm and didnt taste good at all.

Fabulous soup and salad lunch including great cheese. Yes a little pricey but worth it. And we walked right in on black Friday when all the other restaurants had a line out the door.

Had a pizza making team event here, great staff and delicious pizza ingredients, the facilities are also quite nice. Recommended!

While we didnt do the cheese-tasting masterclass bit (which is inside and you are introduced to the cheese before tasting it) we ate the cheese from the class outside in their courtyard on a beautiful late summer day. It was really a great way to just chill and enjoy the cheeses on offer in a really relaxed setting. I wonder if they do wine pairing?

Hidden gem! Very cool place to come if visiting SF, you get to taste really good cheese and learn how to describe/identify which is which. When you first walk in, you enter a little green garden/patio scene where you can enjoy a cold beer. Then you go into the cheese school looks very Californian. Come here if you want the Cali feel.

A nice compliment to Ghiradelli Square offering a wide selection of wines, cheese and other fine foods. My family and I visited the store around 2pm so it was a little slow and pretty empty but still plenty of visitors touring the shop. We ordered a charcuterie plate with a bottle of complimenting vino.Service at the counter where orders were placed was just okay. The staff wasnt very friendly and seemed uninterested in anything outside of taking orders. The staff that brought our food to our seats were very friendly.The food was wonderful as was the wine. We had an awesome view of the square and could easily loose track of time with the tasty foods, complimenting wine and spectacular view of the bustling square below.

Fantastic French onion soup! The perfect balance of cheese, onion, and broth. The cream braised pork sandwich is tender and juicy. The pork au jus is a nice addition but not necessary. Truly a phenomenal dining experience. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.

I just attended a cheese making class with Louella the Milk Maid and The Cheese School of San Francisco. It was hosted at Stable. It was a fantastic learning experience.Louella is a great teacher, hubs and I learned a lot today.It was such a wonderful experience!!!We look forward to taking what weve learned and making cheese at home together.

Beautiful Haven in the middle of the hustle and bustle of mission district.We were there for a cheese making event... And boy was it fun!! Louella was our instructor who was not only fun but knowledgeable.I highly recommend a class here!!

Superb cheese boards and cheese sandwiches. Took the family here for a late lunch and everyone was happy!

Outstanding food and friendly service. Great space to have wine and cheese. Nice that you order at the counter

Yum yum yum! Great little place for relaxing lunch or snack after walking the piers in San Francisco sites. The combo charcuterie plate was amazing.

My husband and I had a fantastic time at the cheese school. We had hands on experience with making ricotta and mozzarella cheese. The instructor was very good at explaining the history of cheese and the science of making it. Its a great place to take a group or just a date.

Love attending all of the cheese school classes! We attended a yogurt making class and now we are making fresh yogurt at home, it taste sooo good! So much better than store bought. Its definitely an informative class and fun date night idea!

Stop in here and youll have the perfect cheese experience. Not only do you get to eat cheese, but the experts will guide you through how to taste cheese, how to identify different types, and crucially how to find the cheese that you love! I came away with tastebuds tingling, and a brain filled with new ideas of how to find my cheese heaven, every day.

I teach at The Cheese School and love the experience from the backend. The staff is organized and inspired. The new location is dynamite. Taking a class here is THE PERFECT thing to do with a Sunday afternoon.-The Milk Maid

Love this place! Had a beer salad and tomato soup with garlic bread. OMG going back tomorrow for lunch!!!

I ordered the grilled chese sandwich with the prosciutto jam. One of the better such sandwiches Ive eaten. I think it might be better than one I like in the Ferry Building. Also, the price was nice, considering I am in Fishermans Wharf at Ghirardelli Square with a table and a view.

Cheese boards not good for keto... For those that this would help, the cheese boards are not good for keto as they have a majority sweet pickles, dried fruit, boozie raisins, and bread. 5 small cuts of cheese and 8 small thin sliced cuts of meat. Quality is excellent, but only about 1/8th of the cheese board is keto friendly...usually an easy choice for me, but not here.

Delicious spot for a snack. The staff is friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about both cheese and wine. The pimento cheese dip was delicious.

Small menu and good food.Cheese is good as you would expect from name.Tomato soup was okie, grilled cheese sandwich was different and good.

A group of us went here for the Wednesday Cheese Makes Me Happy Hour. It was $20 online ($25 at the door) and it included one drink and all you can eat cheese, meats, veggies, salad etc. There was a cute band playing soft music and the outdoor lighting really set the mood! We all had a great time.

I have taken about 5 classes from the SF cheese school, and its always a fun time. I have learned quite a bit about cheese and wine, though really I go just to enjoy new cheeses and have some wine/beer with my friends. The classes Ive enjoyed the most are: The Cheese Showdown (CA vs WS), Cheeses of France, & Cheese + Beer. If you are looking for a fun & different night out, you will enjoy this school. Be sure to book early as the classes fill up fast!

Wowee - this place is awesome! I went here for their cheese happy hour which is on Wednesdays and for $20 you get unlimited trips to the cheese bar (which included roasted veggies, meats, salad, etc) and a drink. The venue itself was adorable with lights strung from wall to wall. It was a great place to go to catch up with friends or go on a date. Next time, I want to try one of their cheese-making classes! The burratta one has my name on it!

Simply excellent for cheese lovers with excellent view n choice. The cheese board was amazing

Nice location, ordered a grilled cheese and 2 glasses of wine, the bill was $43 plus tip. The sandwich had no visible cheese, on small bread, tomatoe soup was okay, we have eaten at some fine places in the bay area all about $40, for two of us, Disappointed with this choice.

Excellent selection of cheese. Great sandwiches. Lovely place.

Great little place in Ghirardelli Square. Had the Mac and Cheese, Grilled Cheese, and Pressed Pork all were delicious.

Great food and wine for snacking and purchasing. Also, fantastic classes!!

Attended a cheese making class here and had an absolute blast. Learned how to make mozzarella, burata and ricotta cheese! Loved the staff there - super welcoming and friendly. Great place to grab a bite at the cafe next door too!Looking forward to coming back to learn more. I heard they have pizza classes and cheese pairings!

This cafe is awesome there quality of food is much better than others i highly recommend this place

Grilled cheese, Tomato soup, and some white wine...wining combo.As a local, wonder what happens when word gets out

Amazing cheese selection, wine selection and staff that are friendly, knowledgeable and fun! A must see place in San Fran.

Nice in Ghirardelli Square eating and wine tasting

I took a fascinating class today with Louella Hill. We made Creme Fraiche, Cow Feta and Fromage Blanc at The Cheese School of San Francisco. Nice ambiance and overall lovely experience. Louella is a true cheese expert and a effective instructor, great style and voice. The school was very generous with delicious samples and sparkling wine. The classroom was comfortable and professional. Nice location in the Mission, set back in a garden atmosphere.

If you are a cheese lover and want to better understand the flavors and taste of really good cheeses these is the right place to go.

I love CHEESE and went to the Cheese School of SF for a Mozzarella, Burrata & Ricotta Cheesemaking event on a warm sunny day. What a wonderful learning and foodie experience!Louella the Milk Maid was super knowledgeable about cheese and a great instructor. The class began with refreshments, charcuterie and cheese at the outdoor space in front of a big fireplace under a lemon tree. The class was filled with interesting facts and we all got hands-on experience making cheese at our team stations. My favorite was the freshly made ricotta...so deliciously light and creamy.I highly recommend this! This place is great for a fun team event. Friendly & helpful staff! Thank you Google City Experts for hosting this exclusive event!

Ive been coming to this place since I opened my wine bar in fremont for about 8 or 9 years.I love everything about this school. Cant wait to check out the new location at ghirardelli square.Ive taken about 5 wine and cheese 101 classes, french cheeses, italian, i think spanish im pretty sure, cheese favorites and next month im taking another italian cheeses and back to the basics cheese 101. You can never have too much cheese.Highly recommend this. All of their classes are amazing. You can close your eyes and pick one. They are all that good.

Having a chance to attend the Cheese 101 class and it was great for beginner like me.

They only sell cheese and wine and some merchandise

What a great experience! I learned so much about cheese and suggested wine pairings during Cheese 101. Brillat Savarin from France was my favorite cheese to try.

Im a cheese making novice (as distinct from cheese-eating) and I learned a lot very recently at a cheese making class taught by the milk maid herself. The Folsom street location is truly excellent, right next to Leila B and Stable Cafe. Making mozzarella is a way to turn your knead-y side to good use! Its encouraged, not viewed as cheesy, to take home your results. They have an awesome pizza oven, there could be a pizza class in my future. If you want to unwind afterwards, Mission Bowling is around the corner on 17th Street.

A really nice and wonderfull moment to smel and taste these delicious cheese. I suggest to taste a bloomy fresh Goats cheese ;-) what an Amazing moment,... Its only here with kind cheese professor and nice people from all around the World. Whouaw flavour effect, thank you.

I didnt try anything there but they have a large variety of cheese that looked very tempting!

Im now officially a cheese snob!I havent been too adventurous on my cheesy adventures throughout life. Ive only gone as fancy as brie & halloumi at Trader Joes and what not. However, I planned to rectify that situation! The Cheese School in the Mission District has cheese and/or wine classes for the cheese connoisseur & the layperson, like me. I was fortunate enough to attend a Cheese 101 class during my trip to San Francisco, relishing in each stinky bite.Cheese plate (clockwise from top - Valencay, Brillat Savarin, Landmark Creamery Anabasque, Uplands Cheese Pleasant Ridge Reserve, Rogue Creamery Caveman Blue)-Who knew how technical cheese could be? I learned rind classifications include wrinkly & bloomy. I critiqued the subtle (and not so subtle) differences between pasteurized cow milk, pasteurized goat milk, pasteurized sheep milk & raw cow milk. And, I savored the mouth feel of hard/semi-hard to soft cheese. My favorite was the soft Brillat Savarin cheese. With a fat content of at least 75%, the cheese was buttery with a nutty component. Utterly decadent. My second was probably the Rogue Creamery Caveman Blue. Smelly, strong, moldy - just like good bleu cheese should be. We were informed of the supposed origin of bleu cheese, in which a guy forgot about his cheese because he was enamored by a pretty lady. When he got back to the cheese, mold formed within the cheese..........and the rest is history!AccoutrementTo cleanse our palates between bites & to serve as vehicles for the cheese, plates of crusty bread, crackers, slices of nectarines & some very delicious champagne-infused raisins were available to partake of. Sparkling water served as refreshment.Service was great! Kiri Fisher, proprietor of The Cheese School, conducted an easy to follow cheese class, where anyone can acquire the rudimentary knowledge of a cheese monger.Parking via metered street parking. The Cheese School of San Francisco is located on the right & back of The Stable Café.Say cheese! The classes at The Cheese School are a great way to spend an evening, sampling cheese, perhaps sipping some wine & learning something new or advancing your current understanding of cheese. All the cheese we had were top quality & I now know what to look for when Im at the cheese section of my local grocery.Highly recommend!NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM

Knew little-learned a lot-instructors were great...

Wonderful classes with super knowledgeable instructors

Mozzarella sandwich and grilled cheese sandwich 👍🏼

Lots of cheeses, wines and tasty food.

Excellent! Great pairings and staff

Great place for cheese lovers

Fun experience Spanish cheese and wines

I love cheese

Really good cheeses

Liked it.

All kinds of cheese

Great concept

The Cheese School is as its name suggests a school to learn about cheese. They have a classroom and tastings can be done outdoors in their green terrace by their plants and with a large wooden table. Very nice decoration and super nice staff.

Very delicious he chocolate
