This morning I bought a loaf of white sourdough bread. Came back home for lunch to discover that the loaf is at least 3 days old.(Sourdough has a shelf life of 5 to 7 days). Came back to the shop after one hour to bring them back the old loaf and they insisted (rudely) that was freshly baked this morning. After 5 minute of discussion trying to explain that the bread is clearly old (the crust is softer than the inside!) the lady that served my said (but, at least, is the taste good?), ?!?!? I didn't came back to ask my money back (which considering the price of the loaf 6£ would have been good!) but after waiting the line in the cold to buy a 6£ loaf, go home and find out that is not fresh, go back to complain in the cold, the least you can expect is a bit of understanding! RUDE STAFF, PRODUCT NOT FRESH, you can find better fresh bread anywhere else, avoid!

Un amigo y yo queríamos comprar un regalo de cumpleaños, así que fui a esta tienda debido a la variedad de quesos. Al entrar a la tienda, saludamos al hombre detrás del mostrador que nos ignoró, lo cual nos pareció extraño ya que la tienda es muy pequeña y solo estábamos nosotros en la tienda. Luego entramos en la sección de quesos de la tienda donde la señora detrás del mostrador fue muy amable y profesional. Seleccionamos nuestros quesos y le pagamos. Luego, cuando intentaba salir de la tienda, el hombre detrás del mostrador (supongo que era el pesebre) le gritó a mi amigo que no podía irse porque no había pagado. No regresaré a esta tienda y no puedo evitar pensar que si mi amigo fuera un hombre blanco vestido que se vistiera y hablara como el caballero detrás del mostrador, no estaría escribiendo esta reseña.

¿Dónde encuentras un restaurante para recetas de queso (varonil)? Pequeño y encantador local hipster con una gran variedad de hermosos platos de queso. Bueno para un almuerzo y apetito.

Vive local aquí, así que muchas veces queremos darnos un capricho con un buen queso y antipasti, y La Fromagerie tiene una gran selección si eso es lo que buscas. Sin embargo, 2 rebanadas de queso cheddar y 3 tomates pequeños totalizaron 10! ! ! No volveré a menos que sea una ocasión muy especial, ya que es muy caro para las cosas que puede obtener de un supermercado por una fracción del precio.

チーズ大好きでしたら、ここで世界中のチーズを買えます。夕方は満員で店員がてんてこまいですが、朝昼行けば、店員さんが丁寧にチーズの説明はできます。イギリスで有名な硬いチーズ、フランスの香りが強いチーズ、イタリアのチーズもあります。。安くないですか、ものすごいおいしいチーズかたくさんあります。店員さんが余裕ある時は味見もできます。ロンドンにいる時はぜひ世界1のチーズ屋さんに是非。

This is my local, I often stop by for my breakfast , the coffee is wonderful , the boiled eggs on toast with perfect bread is a lovely start to the day. It’s also perfect for a croissant and quick meeting , it’s small only seats 6 but Perfect. Cheese shopping experience equally fab.

Lovely deli with a fantastic selection of cheese but beware the battle axe who runs the shop. Slightly expensive but it is a premium product they are selling. For cheese, I prefer Paxton in Jermyn Street, Mayfair because they also have an excellent range of quality cheeses and the staff seem kinder and more friendly.

We have lived in Highbury former than 30 years and value the independent shops and restaurants in the area. La Fromagerie as fine cheese shop has been around for a long time and after my recent 3 months in hospital it seemed a good idea to try their newish coffee shop addition to the cheese shop as part of my recovery. My experience in the past purchasing cheese rather than schlepping to Covent Garden or Jermyn street was that La Fromagerie sell great products but were let down by the surly man who runs the shop. However, I hoped that we could get a good cup of coffee and went in. First we were ignored although it was empty, then when we asked if we could sit and have coffee we were told that they were closing in half an hour - hardly welcoming, but we sat down. We ordered a latte and I ordered a black americano and whilst the barista was making the coffee he was told by the owner that he was making it wrong, despite that I was served with a 'dead coffee' with no crema. both coffees were very poor and we left disappointed. So if you want a warm welcome, good service and a good coffee don't go to La Fromagerie, we will be going back to the Highness cafe and tearoom opposite.

La Fromagerie har två delikatessbutiker, jag strosade i Soho och hamnade på en av dem. Inte helt säker på vilken. Men har läst att båda butikerna har varsitt ostrum och delikatessbutik, så kanske ingen skillnad vilken man hamnar på. Perfekta stället för lättare lunch, after work eller plock innan en middag. Köp hem eller till picknicken. Min fantasi slog dubbelvolter när jag gick in i butiken. Det blev ett måste stop för lite mat och vin. Servitrisen, som var svensk och jättetrevlig, fick rekommendera både mat och vin. Vi tog ostbricka och charkbrika, vitt vin och var i himmelriket och vände. Här kommer jag att landa fler gånger, helt klart!

Этот магазин гастрономии предлагает огромный выбор аутентичных продуктов - сыров из Франции и Италии, прошуто, салями, оливки и т.д. Всегда все свежее и вкусное. Цены такие же, как в Европе.

La Fromagerie at Highbury Barn is a shop, but no ordinary shop, more a magic cornucopia, a seduction of the highest quality tastiest morsels, and that before you even enter the cheese room.

Piccola caffetteria dallo stile francese, pochi tavoli ma ottima qualità. E' possibile consumare lì o portare via. E' anche una panetteria e pasticceria. Adatta quindi per colazioni ma anche per comprare prodotti da forno per tutta la giornata! Lo consiglio!

This is a beautiful place in a beautiful location, with good bread, pastries and patisseries on offer and, most importantly, excellent cheese - kept perfectly in an atmospherically controlled, glass-doored room in the back. All of this is enough to frequent the establishment with enthusiasm. However, my experience of being welcomed and served was of what seemed to be an odd superciliousness that kept reappearing in spite of efforts to be pleasant (and also an open reprimand to a person who appeared to be a member of staff for something that seemed to be a very minor issue). The three stars given in this review are for the location, decor and products available for sale.

Small but friendly! Lots of home-made soup,quiche,sausage rolls,charcuterie board etc...plus a vast choice of cheeses! And cakes and confectionery of course! Then you proceed into the cheese room behind the caff...an amazing array of cheeses with an expert to explain them and letting you taste whatever takes your fancy. There is also a selection of charcuterie sliced to order.Wine by the glass or bottle, very good coffee.In other words..lots of very tasty bits and pieces...oh,I forgot,,they do smoked salmon and Portuguese sardines too!

If you love cheese or really good coffee, this is the place to go. It's a small place, so not much seating, but it's great for a coffee, brunch and a paper.

Regularly visitor here for bread (which is fresh everyday / around £2 ish a loaf). Great selection of cheese and other fresh produce - real foodie paradise. Be warned, some of the prices aren't for the faint hearted / but fairly average for a bourgeois London store. Customer service can be a bit hit and miss too!

Not a part of London I have visited before. Fairly close to the Arsenal Football Club. The area has a village atmosphere, with in dependent food stores, and a decent looking pub. La Fromagerie is little sister to their place in Marylebone. The same selection of deli products and an amazing collection of cheeses from across Europe. Perfectly soft boiled eggs with soldiers, and excellent coffee made for a perfect breakfast.

Food looks somewhat better than it is and it's a little over-priced. Some of their cakes are really good but the range of savoury items is limited. In fairness this place majors on selling cheese, cakes and deli type fare for taking out - not really an eatery - but it looked quaint and interesting ...... all-in-all a little disappointing.

This delicatessen looked unique and olde world from the outside so I was surprised to find out that it is part of a small chain. It is rustic and enticing with a separate closed room full of cheese. The smell of cheese pervades the whole shop however. It is a pleasant place (except for the cheese fragrance) to have a cup of coffee and excellent cooked breakfast. The Portugese custard tarts are particularly recommended. Afterwards you can purchase various meats and products from Europe although it is quite expensive. Overall worth visiting if you are in Highbury Park

People come from far and wide to go La Fromagerie and that's hardly surprising as their selection and knowledge is spot on. They also have an assortment of cakes and pastries which they serve with coffee, but unless you are used to the smell of cheese with your chocolate brownie, it can be a little off putting. The brownies are however, delicious.

This is a lovely little deli style shop serving meats, cheese, veg and wine and then every now and then they do a tasting evening. My boyfriend brought me a cheese fondue evening as a Christmas present and it was superb. We were greeted with nibbles such as mini cheese scones and champagne. The alcohol was free flowing and the main courses were excellent. You sat on one large table that made for a social evening. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

It was a real shame: I am pleased that some people have enjoyed it enough to leave positive reviews and I all I can imagine was it was different team in place when we visited. We arrived soon after opening time on a Sunday evening (pre theatre) so we were completely expecting a less lively atmosphere compared say to a Saturday evening or maybe after work on a weekday but we were looking forward to having our taste buds tickled at least . I was very disappointed as I am relatively familiar with Korean food and was looking forward to something interesting and perhaps a bit different. The only positive I can offer was that the locally brewed makkoli was good and very different from the imported longer shelf life product generally available in London. There was little engagement from the staff who seemed obsessed with the number of drinks initially ordered before anything could progress… I was shocked at the bill as the numbers absolutely did not tally with what we had experienced in just over an hour . The same figure would have fed and watered us very well almost anywhere else!

Sábado 15, 4 pm - dos chicas en servicio extremadamente groseras. Uno de ellos hablaba en italiano todo el tiempo frente a los clientes. Reír haciéndonos sentir incómodos. Mal servicio al cliente. ¿Es esta la forma de administrar una cafetería?

Rather haughty air of staff, overpriced. £4 for 4 alleged stuffed peppers (looked like 4 cherry tomatoes), £7 for a small dish of rather rubbery mussels in tomato sauce.

Buen café pero con un nivel de higiene deficiente y en estos covid: 19 veces no es aceptable, lamentablemente, un buen pastel y un servicio amigable con el té, pero cuide su limpieza

Awful food and the wines isn’t that good, overpriced- can’t cook potatoes and take themselves too seriously. Go somewhere else.
