Beecher’s Handmade Cheese

Check out the bar downstairs and try the balsamic mushroom fennel mac and cheese.

Great date spot! Very romantic in the basement with the dim lighting. Awesome happy hour prices and good wine. Cocktails were a bit more pricey. Def add this to your happy hour list!

Came here last night for grilled cheese sandwiches. I had the turkey version and it was delicious. Comes with tomato and and turkey to compliment the jack and house cheese. Ah life’s simple pleasures. Great bread and grilled to perfection it really hit the spot on a cold winters night. And you can watch them making the cheese through the glass wall while you eat. Will be back again.

Went with the classic grilled cheese for $ 7, which was inconsistent and unimpressive. Wish I’d grabbed something from the enticing takeaway area instead, but at least the waiting involved watching the cheesemaking process. Missed the BBEats deal a while back, and they apparently have happy hour (weekdays from 3 to 7 p.m.). Might grab the mac & cheese from
in the future, but won’t be back for grilled cheese.

Unlike the Beecher’s in Seattle, this particular location emphasizes dining in. The actual retail ‘shop’ area is very tiny and consists of only one cooler full of cheese and a box of crackers. They do offer a variety of cheese and crackers, but it definitely wasn’t as expansive as the variety in Seattle — which I guess is only expected.
Pricing is (surprisingly) the same as the Beecher’s in Seattle! Which is nice. :)

Espectaculares Mac&cheese, los mejores de NYC parece ser. Hacen el queso casero, de hecho lo veréis allí mismo. Mola mucho comer allí mismo, lo pides y te sientas y te llaman. Nosotros cogimos un Mac&cheese grande y un grilled cheese sándwich, que mejor es imposible que estuvieran, lo dice una auténtica forofa del queso. De verdad que vale la pena. También es buena idea comprar algo de queso para llevar, ya que tienen una gran variedad.
Mac&cheese grande para los dos y un grilled cheese sándwich (sándwich de queso fundido) = 22 $.

Situated above the Cellar and across from Equinox, this is where I get my grilled cheese on in NYC… usually after I go to the gym.
Regarding price and quality, this is one of the best grilled cheeses you can get in NYC. A gourmet grilled cheese for under ten bucks? Yeah, I’m in. The bread is thin and wide but still holds a great crunch. There are variety of different cheese/​meat/​and spread combinations that you can apply to what you’re feeling. The portions are decently sized. You won’t food coma out like you would at Los Angeles’ Clementine (nor is there a grilled cheese month…) but it is enough to be filling.
BCS has more of the casual in and out vibe. You can go in, grab a glass of wine, and get your grilled cheese on – it’s not as formal as other spots in Flatiron/​Gramercy. The more formal spot is the Cellar downstairs.
If you’re in the area, have a hankering for melted cheese, and want to watch masters craft one of the best dairy products, I recommend coming in. You can also pick up a small variety of salads and imported cheeses that are unique onto BCS.

Cheese everything. The best part is the flagship samples they have to try.
However, the even better part (which most people don’t seem to know) is that you can sample any of their other cheeses if you just ask.
I highly recommend the cheese plate that includes the variations of the flagship cheese with pairings. My personal favorite is the smoked flagship.
Make sure you take a look at them making the cheese, the process goes pretty quickly if you catch it toward the end.
My only complaint is the wobbly tables in the loft area.

Freshly made cheese on premise — and they also carry other cheeses.
I like their Flagship cheddar as it is strong and is good for omelette, grilled cheese, Mac & Cheese (which they actually sell and can be bought in different sizes to be heated and served at home) or eat it as it is plain or with fruit and good bread — or not so good bread. (Ha ha). The cheese is very good and will enhance the bad bread or crackers at your place. But of course to enhance the flavor, please get good crackers — they have some also for sale at their premise or get one somewhere.
This is originally from Seattle, Washington.

Great happy hour with great wine/​great food especially the mac and cheese!

QUESO. CHEEEEEEESE.
if you love cheese, you definitely have to check this place out.
and when you walk in, if you go to the right, they ahve free samples of their homemade staple cheese a cheddar gruyère. they have that, a smoked version, and a curd version (fresh, not aged). all three are great.
I tried the Fig and Cheese grilled cheese.
While it was really flavorful (the cheese had a very complex and rich taste), it was not very filling (for $ 9 bucks) and i wish they put in more cheese and more fig jam. The fig jam was great too though. the subtle sweetness. yes.
My friends have told me to try the tomato soup, asaparagus, and mac and cheese so i will def be back.

I can not wait to come back when I have more time for dinner! This place is a wine and cheese heaven. We came on a Saturday night for an early happy hour, which they do every day, for some cheese and wine before we headed for our night out in NYC. The place was way more crowded then what I was expecting but was awesome none the less. The first floor is more of a cheese shop with small bites and the giant homemade cheese machine which was a sight to see. Down stairs, the full restaurant opens up.
We came and the bar was packed but waited only 10 minutes before we snagged a seat. Our bartenders were not only some of the nicest I have had in NYC, but some of the best dressed. I had the bar tender choice cocktail for happy hour which was gingery and spicy. From then on, we took advanatge of the $ 5 red or white wine special til 7. We had probally about 4 rounds of wine over an hour and half including the $ 8 cheese monger plate which had bread, two cheeses and two accompaniments. It was delicious and if we weren’t heading to dinner soon, we would have stayed for a full meal.
I can’t wait to come back here for a full dinner and some cheese to take home with me. If you love cheese, you will love Beecher’s!

Places like this make me wish I lived in the city!
My boyfriend and I loooooove cheese so this place was right up our alley. We came here on a Saturday night to do happy hour before we went to dinner. The first floor is where they make their own cheese and it’s counter-​order but downstairs in «the cellar» is more restauranty. We went downstairs and grabbed a spot at the bar which was a miracle because there was a wait to get a table and the bar was pretty busy. The cellar is a cool place to come and hang out with your friends and is really relaxing. The happy hour special was great with $ 5 – 8 drinks and $ 8 food specials. We got some glasses of wine and the cheese board (YUM). The bartenders were incredibly busy and running around like mad but they were extremely attentive. Our drinks were never empty and we were always being checked on. They were also so nice! You’d think if they were so busy they’d be a little grumpy but that wasn’t the case. After dinner we checked out the giant cheese machine upstairs — woah. This thing is HUGE!
I definitely want to come back here and get a full dinner here — and get more cheese. Duh. We had a great experience and will be back!

Delicious! Great option for a bite to eat while shopping in the local area, without having to visit a restaurant and have a formal lunch.
I loved that you can see through the window at staff making cheese. The counter is large with lots of cheese and products to purchase. We visited the takeaway counter and ordered 2 grilled cheese sandwiches (caprese $ 8 & big deal $ 10) and a small sweet pea soup. Service didn’t take long, but the sandwiches were not ready at the same time, my husband had got his sandwich and eaten it by the time mine was ready. However, I just ate my soup in the meantime, but bare that in mind if two of you are only having sandwiches. The soup was tasty and a great size portion. It isn’t the thick type though, it is runnier.
I didn’t try the Mac & cheese, but it looked really good. Il give that a go next time. I’m glad I’ve found a place to grab a lunch on the go in this area of town and look forward to returning.

When I worked right next to Beecher’s, I came here an embarrassing number of times. Hell, I even did business here. Initially, it was due to sheer convenience, but afterward, it was just out of love. I’m not sure the mac ‘n’ cheese is the best I’ve ever had, but it’s solid, fresh and creamy. The grilled cheese sandwich was a go-​to lunch staple for me.
The happy hour, though, is what you really need to come for. Delicious $ 5 cocktails and reduced entrée prices make for the perfect post-​work indulgence.

Well first off, c’mon cheese. Cheese!
So they make cheese here (and it is DELICIOUS) and they also make lots of other delicious food items with said cheese such as their amazing mac ‘n cheese which I could eat for days.
The real gem is downstairs where you can grab drinks in a really cool settings and still order all of their delicious food. I believe it is called The Cellar, and it was an awesome spot to hang out with friends.

Stopped into the café after getting my hair done nearby for a late afternoon snack. I got a small order of the signature Mac n cheese along with a small cappuccino. The mac n cheese with an added splash of tobasco was just what I was looking for. Penne pasta with creamy white cheese based sauce, mmm! I was also really impressed with all the local food they had available to buy i.e. Mcclures pickles and chips! The other items on the café menu looked really tasty too, might need to come back for a grilled cheese.

OMG CHEEEEESE!!! How could I NOT rate a local cheese making and cheese selling establishment 5 stars?!
The folks that work here are all super friendly and very knowledgable about cheeses, complimentary wine pairings, breads, etc. This is really a fantastic place if you’re looking for some high-​end, excellent quality cheeses, breads olive oils and accessories for the awesome cheese lovers in your life.
Also, don’t forget to check out their basement restaurant called «The Cellar». Their cocktails are fantastic and rotate seasonally. During happy hour their «cocktail of the day» (which is the bartender’s choice is only $ 5 — that’s a steal kids!
The mac n’ cheese here is also seriously out of this world! If you’d like to know more about it then I direct you over here:
.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to check Beecher’s out yet, then I encourage that you make it over soon… quickly…before I eat all their cheeses Kirby style ;-).

It’s a Cheese shop, yes, they sell cheese. But they are a Cheesemaker, too, and that just turns me on.
I overdid it. Grilled Cheese ($ 9) and Mac n’ Cheese ($ 7). I got sick from all the cheesy grease, but I loved it going down. Heavy cheese for both, but no options for bread (only wheat) and the mac used penne… not my fav for mac n’ cheese, as the ratio for noodle to cheese is more noodle. It was also packaged in a «to go» cup, not browned/​toasted as I’ve seen pictured.
Overall, it’s a great experience with a super friendly and helpful staff that feels more like Portland than NYC.
Note: downstairs is The Cellar. Bigger menu, and table service.

Beecher’s is great!
Delicious cheese here.
The only other location (the original) is in Seattle.
The downstairs has a bar with a great happy hour.

My boyfriend and I attended a dinner wine tasting held with Thomas George Estates.
It was a five course meal, each with wine pairing and a little history and knowledge of all the different wine that was served. The pairings worked beautifully with each other. The seatings were in a C-​shape which helps if you want to mingle with other people.
Dishes that stood out that night were the burrata cheese, stringy cheese that was complimented with a cherry-​black pepper jam; and a lamb that served as dessert rather than your typical sweet dessert.
Beecher’s is known for their cheese but they do a heck of a dinner wine pairing. Seats are limited since they make it a small and intimate group. Be sure to reserve in advance.
