Stinky BKLYN

I walked In after thinking ‘that looks like a cute shop’ and it sure was! try the cheesy pretzel bites. wow! I need another bag

I would give these guys 6 stars if I could. I hosted a dance party down the street and needed great cheeses and breads and meats for a crowd of about 70 people. George set up a gorgeous display with great artisanal cheeses like Cowgirl’s Red Hawk. He stayed to keep everything looking beautiful and fresh, answered questions about the selections, and was altogether fabulous.

I love this place. I come here a lot for lunch (soup or sandwiches) or to buy coffee (beans or brewed). There’s a coffee shop next to my office but the coffee isn’t very good, but coming for the New Orleans-​style ice coffee is a joy. There’s a lot of beer and cheese, plus a discount growler day (and a loyalty card for growlers!), which is great to have near to office. Everyone who works here is kind, friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable.

Awesome selection, very knowledgeable and passionate (about beer) staff! Come here if you want an assortment of Brooklyn-​procured sweets and treats and food along with your hard-​to-​find and local beers. Lots of individual bottles priced around $ 2.50 each, but six packs and larger bottles available as well. We got a bottle of Mother’s Milk’s Widow Jane Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout. Brooklyn brewed in more Brooklyn in a store in Chelsea. Yeah!
Oh I didn’t even talk about their cheese. It’s also good.
There’s no space for non-​purchase, loitering activities here.

Just went for lunch. Ordered the #7 sandwich — bacon, arugula and gruyère on pressed bread. SO DAMN GOOD. That’s why I’m so disappointed with the soup.
They listed a white bean and ham soup and a tomato/​pepper something. I asked for the white bean/​ham, but they were all out. At 12:10pm on a Wednesday. Just saying. Did they make one bowl? Anyway, I ordered the tomato soup, and I can honestly say it was one of the laziest, blandest soups I’ve ever had. Watery, lacking any complexity of flavor — it tasted like someone opened canned tomatoes and added some pepper and heated it for a couple of minutes. Like what I would imagine the chicken parm sauce tasting like at The Olive Garden.
Other than the soup, I have nothing bad to say. Really nice craft beer selection, and some interesting cheeses in their small cheese fridge. Also other assorted chocolates, donuts and random things of that ilk.
Perhaps they just had a bad day with the tomato soup — I’l still go back and get a sandwich and some beer and cheese.

Great place for a quick-​ish lunch!
I’ve only been here for sandwiches, so I can’t speak to their sundries, but the selection is vast and prices are decent.
The sandwiches have a wide range of sizes (that’s the lack of one star), some are big enough to feed me for two meals and others leave me hungry an hour later. Even so, all delicious.

What can I say about this quaint Chelsea hotspot for foodies all the cool stuff you can get other where’s all under one roof specially the goodies from Brooklyn highly recommend this specialty shop for anyone is looking for the best of what New York City has to offer and the owner Patrick is one heckuva nice guy as well check them out recommended to tourists and locals alike

This shop is around the corner from my office and I am glad to finally have a decent sandwich place nearby. If you are looking for Subway or Lenny’s, look elsewhere because Stinky’s is owning the artisanal game. Bonus: great vegetarian options.
I have had:
#5 Aged Cheddar, Apples, Salt Rubbed Kale, Honey Mustard, on Miche $ 8 (Excellent but a little difficult to eat because bits kept falling out. Miche was amazing)
#6 Smashed Chickpeas, Mahon Cheese, Artichoke Pesto, Arugula on Ciabatta $ 8
(Lots of yes on a perfect ciabatta roll)
#9 Aged Cheddar, Bourbon «Bread & Butter» Pickles on Miche $ 6.50
(Why haven’t I explored pickles on grilled cheese earlier? Also, great deal! Especially since most deli grilled cheese will put you back $ 5 for American cheese on white bread)
They have a little grocery selection of cheese, bread and sweets, not to mention a large craft brew selection.

Broken into two storefronts, one with wine and liquor, and the other with sandwiches, beer and snacks.
Selection of all items is great, and we’ve discovered a lot of new/​interesting beer and wine brands since the spot opened a few months ago.
Would be 5 stars but the place sells a $ 9 hot dog. NINE DOLLARS.

The best place ever. I’ve been visiting the Brooklyn location for a decade. Great selections and the best staff. I’m a little obsessed with this place!

Great sammiches and catering platters! Also super helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. I could eat delicious cheese, bread, and meat all day, every day. And this place being across the street from my office is not helping.

As of September 2014, they no longer carry Dough donuts. Boo hiss. But I’ll still go to get Chufi orxata for $ 2.50, as well as Kas limon and Kas naranja, as this is the only place in the area that you can find them if you don’t want to go down to Despana (where it’s slightly cheaper).

I got the #1 prosciutto sandwich. It’s a huge square shape sub with good bread and brushed with tasty herbs. The prosciutto was thin sliced and melted in the mouth, although I’m not a great judge when it comes to ham. Will come back to try more of their cheeses since they definitely have a good collection here.

This place is great. Staff is super friendly, sandwiches are delicious, beer selection is diverse, and can’t go wrong with Blue Bottle… ever.
Definitely check it out if you’re in the Chelsea/​Flatiron area.

THE GOOD:
my sandwich was very tasty!
THE MEH:
–my sandwich was very tiny! as someone who frequently shelves the second half of their lunch for later, i was underwhelmed by the size of the sandwich when i saw it, and sure enough, after eating the little $ 9 thing, i am still hungry.
–i ordered the turkey, dry jack, arugula & spicy tomato jam sandwich. there was zero spice — the jam is sweet. and my sandwich had HAM on it, not turkey.
–my sandwich was handed to me without a bag. there was something nice about holding the sandwich in-​hand as i walked the 1 block back to my office, but what about people on the go? this is basic. no napkins in sight, btw — so bring your own bags and napkins if you’ve got a ways to go.
–there is no seating
–the store is somewhat hard to find (if you’re like me and look up for large awnings)
OVERALL:
because their sandwiches taste so great, i’d return on a day when i’m feeling financially flush AND not super hungry (although that’s a rare combination), but otherwise, stinky kinda stinks.

Great selection of not just cheese but craft beers, condiments and sandwiches. And they have beer, cider, and Brooklyn kombucha on tap!
I’d definitely be back if I’m feeling bougie, or if I want a sandwich under ten bucks.
