The cafe area is mostly at the back of the premises, well-lit by a skylight, and comprises a long table seating 12 people in fairly close-packed company, as well as three two-person tables along the right-hand wall. They've also opened up an area to the front of the premises, by the street. On [[Ewan]]'s February 2008 visit, before the extra space was added, it was full at 12:30pm, and though space became free fairly quickly there were more people waiting, so expect to be squashed in. It also means that there's a slightly frenetic feel to the place. |

This is primarily a cheese shop with a large walk-in cheese room dominating the frontage, in Marylebone. However, it is also a delicatessen stocking fresh fruit and vegetables and a wide variety of dry goods, as well as a small "tasting cafe".
Lunch is served from 12:30pm, and afternoon tea from 2:30pm. Last orders for food are half an hour before closing time.

The menu is available online and (unsurprisingly) favours cheese-based dishes. Meat is provided by the neighbouring charcuterie, the Ginger Pig. The centrepiece of the lunch menu is the cheese plate, which is available either small (around £7.50) or large (around £12.50). This came with five cheeses (all of which are given a full write-up on the reverse of the daily menu), and some apple and raisins for cleansing the palate. It is served with a pile of lovely fresh bread on a board, and a tray of butter. All of the cheeses (a goat's cheese, two soft cheeses, a blue cheese and a firmer, cheddar-like cheese) were, as you'd expect, robust well-flavoured and interesting, and for fans of cheese I'd strongly recommend this option.
My eating companion had the ploughman's lunch, which came with a large chunk of pork pie which was very well-received, a fresh salad, some home-made pickle and a good amount of cheese.
There is a fairly large wine-list with food-matching suggestions. For the cheese plate, they suggest the house red (around £16 for a bottle), which turned out to be really quite excellent, although it didn't quite go with all the cheeses on offer, but that's no great problem.
They also have [La Fromagerie, N5 2AA|another shop] (but not cafe) in Highbury.
