Love Cheese in York

Highly recommend the 5 course cheese tasting menu. Really knowledgeable and friendly staff who introduce each cheese and wine over the course of a couple of hours, all in a cosy and chilled out setting.

Amazing lunch. Knowledgeable, helpful staff. Nice small eating area, the Speakcheesy. Cheese platters were generous and plenty of crackers. Cheese toasty was to die for. Bought some of our favourites from the deli to take home. It's easy to miss on the busy high street, but it's a hidden gem. Highly recommend and will be back to try out the small garden area. Dog friendly.

We had the five course wine and cheese tasting experience and it was absolutely fantastic. It was great to hear about the different cheeses and how they were paired with the wines. We would definitely recommend a visit to this little gem, especially if you are a lover of wine and cheese.

Such a great find! If you love cheese the speakcheesy is where it's at. Lovely toasties and divine cheese boards. Very friendly staff and lovely area outside to sit on a nice day. Will be back!

The two ladies were very pleasant and helpful but food did take a long time to come through, some of the cheese portions seemed a little small and unequal compared to others and bearing in mind the price. Overall pleasant and some very nice cheese but not sure we would do it again.

Cheese and wine pairing for 9 on a Saturday. Very very charming garden. Jordan and his team were lovely, the cheese was excellent and artfully presented, and the pairings were superb. Highly recommended!

A wonderfully friendly team who delivered a corker for a very special event! Gorgeous cheese, nice wine and brilliant pizzas - what more could you want? We sat in the courtyard behind the shop in the sun and sipped wine and tucked into the afternoon cheese and pizzas! A brilliant time was had by all!

Perfect place for a delicious lunch. Great food, obviously top quality ingredients and at a very reasonable price, and looking at their afternoon tea equivalent (with cheese, obviously) left thinking "I’m definitely going to come back and have THAT”. Very nice staff, delightful setting. Love it.

Love Cheese supplied the perfect cheese ‘cake’ for our wedding day, and we received so many compliments from our guests. To help chose the cheeses for the cake we had an initial tasting which was a really enjoyable experience, and Jordans knowledge was incredible. He is really helpful and quick to respond to emails. We would definitely recommend Love Cheese if you are considering a cheese cake for your wedding day, you won’t regret it.

Ordered from here for a cheese and wine evening I hosted. All went down very well and the staff were incredibly helpful with their advice.

Really nice cheese plate and wine. The staff were lovely and knowledgeable.

I booked a York food tour as part of my friend’s stag which led to me discovering the Speakcheesey. This time around, it was just one other friend and I: we shared a cheeseboard of 3 different varieties- you can choose from about 5 or 6- and it came with crackers and chutney, too. Service was friendly: we got detailed descriptions of each cheese 🧀

Lovely food and wine, very friendly efficient service, great chilled atmosphere, good choice of lovely food, will definitely be back..👍👍

Nice little place in York. Had a very enjoyable lunch here sat in the garden. My husband and I opted for the toasties and a side of balsamic onions. He had the triple cheese & I had the Italian job. Both excellent made with a beautiful sourdough although I had definite food envy when I saw just how cheesy his triple cheese was. Great wine selection, we had a very classy Portuguese rose. Wish I lived in York as if I did I certainly would have bought some cheese from the shop & would be eating here all the time. Staff really nice & friendly. Came to circa £41 for 2 toasties, 2 large wines, 2 waters & a side of balsamic picked onions. Perfection.

Great selection of cheeses and things!! Dog friendly in the garden which is so good. Lovely wine. Try the afternoon cheese , go with the recommendations. Thank you.

Amazing place. Lovely atmosphere, and they really know their cheeses! The afternoon cheese for two was delicious. Highly recommend a visit.

We had the best time at lunch. The food was amazing. We got the afternoon cheese and a toastie to share. Everything tasted so good and the service was fantastic. We are also going back in the morning to buy some cheese before we head home. Highly recommended to all cheese lovers

This place has a rather unique space in that it's all things cheesy ! Deli, tables and home delivery options. Great choice of cheeses for platter to share. Opportunity to try something different. Owner/ staff are delightful.

The best cheese toastie I’ve ever had. Coffee was also 10/10. Highly recommend!

This is THE place to go when in York. Excellent food, kind and welcoming customer service, and lovely coffee/tea. Oh and did I mention the cheese ? Perfect place to pop into on a rainy or sunny day.

Last year, I had the pleasure of dining at Love Cheese's Speakcheesy. It was such a delightful experience that I decided to return this year as a birthday gift for my partner. We opted for the five-course wine and cheese pairing menu and were thoroughly impressed. If you are a cheese enthusiast seeking a unique and memorable date idea or a gathering with friends or family, I highly recommend Love Cheese. The combination of delectable cheeses and expertly paired wines creates an unforgettable culinary journey. Furthermore, the establishment offers a bus tour around York, which provides an enjoyable and tipsy way to explore the city. 🙂

We had an absolutely amazing time celebrating my 30th at love cheese. It was the most perfect informative but informal afternoon - the staff (thank you Cordi + team) were clearly passionate and knowledgeable, but also relaxed and fun. The wines selected were beautiful + the cheese delicious. Love cheese we’re accommodating of dietary needs and couldn’t have been more helpful. The garden was private and covered so allowed us to have more space to enjoy, chat and drink wine 🍷. A beautiful little establishment - would love to return ❤️

Love Cheese provided a cheese "cake" for our wedding and it was absolutely brilliant. We arranged a cheese tasting session beforehand and enjoyed a wide range of options (and benefited from Jordan's impressive knowledge and expertise). The cheese went down incredibly well with all of our guests and we look forward to visiting Love Cheese again in the future.

Got this for gift for my parents as it was my dads birthday in January and finally made the trip while in York Great mix of wines cheeses that grew in strength taking you on a journey Note to signify preferences unless curios to try new things but be prepared for the strength of alcohol Great establishment and gift for foodies , couples , events or just fancy trying through curiosity and like cheese Staff helpful and informative felt welcome and enjoyed the experience paired with crackers and chutney too , a nice way to spend the afternoon

Great little cheese place. Friendly staff. Great products. Definitely would recommend a visit if you're in York & love cheese! Get a few small offerings for a picnic in the city.

Stopped in for lunch at the Speakcheesey. Good food and wine, lovely staff, we'll definitely be back in summer to check out the garden. Accessibility notes: wheelchair accessible inside, steps in garden.

Staff friendly and helpful went for a meal and drinks both had the cheeseboard the lady that served us very knowledgeable and told us where the cheese came from and how they were matured food and drinks were excellent we were saw impressed with the cheese we bought a selection from the shop at the front on leaving would highly recommend. They also do a excellent on line service

If you want to buy good quality cheese, go only here. The gentleman was very helpful, he told us about cheese, a bit of history, and a bit of cuisine. I was happy with my choice and the whole family confirms that the cheeses were tasty!

We visited for lunch at the Speakcheesey, and the toasties were amazing! The best toastie I've ever had! The blend of cheese in the three cheese toastie was perfect and well complemented by the red onion marmalade. It's got a lovely vibe inside, and a great selection of cheeses from the shop available! We were served by Cordi who was friendly, enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable about cheese.

Ordered a load of cheese online as a treat for myself after going through a tough time. I cannot rate the customer service at Love Cheese high enough! The cheese was exceptional and I’ve ordered another 4 cheeses to try! Can’t wait to visit the shop and try a toastie when I’m well again!

Great service by very knowledgeable staff

My wife and I visited York to meet our son who lives here . We fancied a light bite and happened upon Love Cheese and how lucky we were . We were greeted by the delightful Cordi who recommended a selection of cheeses that were excellent ,this was a hard task I am a very fussy cheese eater . To complement the cheese Cordi recommended an excellent wine . If in York please visit you will not be Disappointed..

Such a great experience! The server (apologies I didn't catch your name) was SO helpful and selected an amazing selection for our afternoon tea. The wines were just so smooth and lush and the server nailed his choices for us for the afternoon tea and was so friendly and helpful- we really couldn't have asked for more.

Love this place! Friendly staff who know there stuff about cheese. We had the afternoon tea of cheese. Food was fantastic and so was the wine. Please visit this place if u love cheese, u won't leave disappointed.

Popped in with my wife to Love cheese, seated quickly. Nice staff Had pork pie with chutney extra cheese £4.50 +£1 extra cheese. My wife had three cheeses for 9.95. Latte £3 and tea Not been in for a few years . The Cafe has improved with different decor and seating. This is a great improvement I really enjoyed it. Would we go back definitely Looking forward to our next visit

Lovely staff and venue, really know their stuff and are so friendly. The place has a great atmosphere and food and wine is of great quality. A little on the pricey side but worth the money.

We loved it here, great food, lovely friendly staff and amazing wine. The inside was warm and welcoming and the food was delicious. We only had a toastie and olives (which were amazing) in the end but I wish we'd had more! Great selection of cheese and chutneys on the counter. I would highly recommend the white rioja, it was delicious

Wanted a cheese toastie with ham in - the menu does cheese and meat boards and has noted under toasties that customers can make their own as there are only 3 on offer. I was refused any meat in the toastie which defeats the point of make your own. You can only make your own toastie with cheese and choices of spread like chilli jam. My wine was also supposed to be large but didn’t feel that way.

Found this place by accident last night and booked a table for this evening. What a find!!, superb food, wine,atmosphere and wonderful staff. Recommended. 👍👍

I walked past the shop and saw a sign advertising a 5 course cheese and wine tasting. I booked a table for 2, Tim looked after us he was amazing he knew all the wines and cheese. It was a great experience and I will definitely go back. Really good value

Gorgeous little 'Speakcheesy' restaurant with a wonderful vibe. Excellent selection of cheeses, crackers, breads and sides and wines to go with them. Staff helpful and friendly. If I lived in York I'd definitely be a regular! As it was, my friend and I had a great time catching up over our food in unhurried and relaxed setting. Thank you!

Lovely visit to the cafe. The waitress was lovely and very knowledgeable around the cheese they serve. I had the 5 piece cheese board and it was very tasty. For me the only minor thing that let it down was the lack of nice background music.

Gorgeous collection of super cheeses and such helpful staff.

If you are visiting York definitely should go to Love Cheese! The toasties are mouth-wateringly scrumptious!

We visited on an afternoon after a wander around the Christmas Market, the location is good, just out of the centre. I had booked a table however it was only us in the "speakcheesy" cafe. (There was a sign saying closed for private function) Ordered the 5 cheeseboard, along with some breads and Italian meats. They accommodated my partners gluten free requirements too. Brought home a large piece of my favourite cheese too. A lovely visit.

Love Cheese hosted our Christmas party this year and they were absolutely fantastic. So accommodating, very responsive to emails, and extremely welcoming and friendly. All the staff are just incredible. Nothing was too much trouble! Thank you for making our Christmas party extra special. Would recommend to anyone!

Cutie little shop and restaurant. I enjoyed my grilled cheese and wine at this store and would return if I'm ever back in York!

Best cheese shop in York, have been in the cafe and that was great as well - that good we couldn't get a seat

Great variety of cheeses to choose from. Staff very helpful.

We visited for my wife's birthday and I kept the location a surprise, her face lit up when we were shown to our table. We ordered the Cheese afternoon tea, I asked our server to choose the cheese for us. Every piece was delicious and the Italian meats went well with the meal. The French wine was light and fresh and refreshing. Thanks for a great meal, we will be back very soon.

We had the excellent cheese toasties - one Gorgonzola and chutney and one make your own (goats cheese and pear chutney) which were absolutely divine. A glass of red and a local beer went down well. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The speakcheesy was cosy for lunch and the garden area looked nice. Fab shop and if we hadn’t been travelling home by train we would have bought cheese to go. A really lovely place and we would love to return if visiting York.

What a little gem of a place. You walk in and are greeted by a counter full of wonderful cheeses. The cafe is small but cosy and laid back. The staff were so friendly and clearly used to customers who can't make their mind up about which cheese. I would highly recommend.

Lovely little deli with fab eatery ‘Speakcheesey” in the back. Lovely 5 cheese board with Spanish meats - good value. Really good wine. Excellent service. They also do some pizzas on weekend. We would love to come back and have the cheese & wine tasting...

Came here to get a cheese board and wasn’t disappointed. Staff were helpful and polite in selecting cheeses , and excellent range of very nice stuff, delicious and just what I was looking for. Perfect way to start my holiday!

Visited this little gem today. Service and food fantastic. Waitress was fabulous and even went out of her way to help us find the outlet shopping centre and going so far as to find out the bus times! A truly wonderful experience, we will be back.

We visited for a cheese tasting ahead of ordering a cheese wedding cake. The staff were brilliant and knew so much about each of the cheeses they brought to us. With more than 20 to try, we were blown away with how different each one...

Amazing as always, I had the three cheese toasties, and it was delicious. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Girlfriend LOVES this place. Took her for tea fora treat early evening and sat in garden. Gutted ,some local pub was blasting 60s tunes out for the whole time, so loud we couldn't talk or relax, ruined the vibe. Wasted my money and this place...

Lovely time. Good cheese and wine. Will go again.

This was a great find, there were plenty of options for vegetarians which is always very positive. The food was brilliant and we really enjoyed sitting in the lovely garden area, it felt very peaceful in the bustle of the city and yet very central...

I knew I liked cheese but this place has made me love cheese. The staff definitely know their stuff alongside providing a great service. My daughter also thinks the cheese toastie was the best she has ever had (teenager who normally moans about everything). I can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic selection of cheese, very knowledgable - ate in the small restaurant in the back - will return! Have also done a couple of the virtual cheese tasting experiences. Thoroughly recommend either if nearby or ordering online.

Absolutely amazing!!! Did the 5 course cheese and wine tasting and it was incredible. Some of the best cheese we have ever had!! They made us feel so welcome and was such a lovely atmosphere. Could not recommend more!!!!

Great little shop, lovely cafe behind. Excellent customer service.

Staff were lovely and personable. Cheese excellent. Outside was lovely. Just a bit on the pricey side.

We had an amazing experience here for a company away day. We were able to book a private cheese and wine tasting in the "Secret Garden" hosted by the wonderful Jordan and Josh who were so knowledgeable and passionate about all the products we were trying. Our team thoroughly enjoyed their time and will definitely return if we're ever in York again!

As you walk in to the Love Cheese shop, you are greeted with a gorgeous waft of cheesy aromas. Welcoming staff are very knowledgeable and there is a cheese-focused menu of cheese toasties and pizzas. The onion marmalade is brilliant as well. Also available is...

Visited for the first time today.Absolutely stunning cheese toasties. Best toasty we have ever had. Beautiful sweet marmalade jam.Rustic setting.friendly staff.thank you very much would visit again

Had my wedding cake from these guys it was amazing There's a pork pie in there as well, awesome thank you xx

Amazing! Arrived here for Brunch after booking (advised as this little Gem gets busy). We ordered 3 cheese sharing board with breads snd we weren't disappointed. Simply choose your style of cheese and a'voila... Minutes later, mouthwatering goodness encroached our palette and believe me, it didn't disappoint! You get generous servings of cheese (we only chose 3 and we were full!....) ❤️ truly happy we found this hidden Gem. We will 100 % be back. Great business, service, pricing and experience. Thank you Love cheese 🧀

Absolutely amazing. Sat in the sun drinking lovely Macedonian wine and eating an amazing cheese afternoon tea. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend enough

Fabulous cheese and staff, well worth a visit

Great little find, outstanding food and very casual

Had my daughters Babyshower here today. Glorious weather meant we were able to be outside in the beautiful ‘ secret garden’ but if the weather had been bad would have been lovely and cosy inside too. Nothing was too much trouble for Jordan and the...

Delightful spot to sit to enjoy a glass of wine with some cheese with chutney

It is a busy and compact cafe, but it is to cheese what Blackpool is to rock. Wonderful array of rare and taste artisan cheeses. I was able to tick off 3 more samples in my encyclopedia with a good glas of wine. Bit sad...

If u like cheese toasties or cheese boards and enjoy reasonably priced wine then this place is for u.

A hidden delight just outside of York's walls. Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and fantastic lunch with high quality and delicious cheeses (loved the local crumbly cheese and the Spanish brie-style smelly!). Go with an empty tummy!

We had a cheese afternoon tea and it was incredible - the atmosphere, the quality, the service, everything. I can’t recommend highly enough and I’m already trying to figure out how we plan another visit.

We came for a hen party, had a great time the wine and cheese pairings were great and the staff were knowledgable interesting and generous. I will definitely visit again!

We had the Afternoon Cheese for two and it was absolutely heavenly! 5 different types of cheese, some continental meats, bread, pickles and chutney with a lovely bottle of wine. If you like cheese you really need to visit this place!

Visited Love Cheese as a wedding cake tasting evening. The staff were super helpful, not pressuring us at all, and helped guide us to choose our perfect wedding cake. Can’t fault a single part - the cheese was delicious, the service impeccable and the price...

Great cheeses! Try the 5 cheese and wine pairing, great way of spending a couple of hours!

Love this Love Cheese! We got the afternoon cheese in the indoor dining area, Speakcheesy. Amazing and helpful service, great value for the afternoon cheese, and a pleasant place to stay and relax. Highly recommend if you're in York!

Booked the 'speakcheesey' for post work drinks and food to celebrate 40th with colleagues and friends. The service and fayres offered were top notch. Service was relaxed but attentive, I had no need to worry about my mix of guests. The toasties were to die...

Popped in for the first time today on the way back to the car as fancied some blue cheese, went for the Swaledale Blue, ate it when we got home and it’s fantastic, wish I’d bought more! Will definitely be popping back in next time...

Lunch in the Speakcheesey for 4 of us was great. We had a really interesting selection of cheeses, an Italian meat platter, pork pies, chutney ...& ofc red wine. OK the Speakcheesey room itself is pretty small but that made it more cosy and atmospheric....

Had an amazing 3 cheese toasty sandwich and nice tea worth a visit for the cheese sandwich 👍

We have visited love cheese several times over the last 5 years be it to buy cheese from the deli, have an in house cheese and wine tasting and most recently, booking out the ‘Speakcheesey’ for a Christmas get together with friends. This was a...

Fabulous gem of a place just outside the York walls. A really well stocked deli - try the balsamic pickles - they’re amazing, loads of different cheeses to choose from plus a great selection of wines and accompaniments. We were eating in the Speakcheesy which is hidden through a doorway behind and is a lovely , cosy space. We treated ourselves to a Christmas Special which featured 3 pork pies, a goats cheese salad, pickles, cornichons, 3 types of continental meats, 5 large portions of cheese, crackers & bread & butter plus 2 glasses of wine - so much food & very reasonably priced! We did add the balsamic picked onions to our table as they’re too good to miss. Really can’t recommend this lovely place enough.

If you’re having a little visit to York and looking for somewhere cosy & tasty for lunch, this is the place. It’s a fabulous gem, just outside the York walls To the front there’s a really well stocked deli - try the balsamic pickles -...

Friendly staff, Wonderful presentation, food was unbelievable, along with beautiful wine choices. Would thoroughly recommend!

Such a wonderful afternoon. Fantastic service and amazing selection of cheese. The Triple Cheese toastie was amazing. Balsamic pickled onions are a revelation and the knowledge of the staff was wonderful

Amazing lunch today. Fantastic service and amazing choice of glorious cheese. The balsamic pickled onions were epic too!

Knowledgeable, friendly and fab themed nights. Cheese lovers must go!

As the name suggests you have to Love Cheese to visit here. I do love cheese and was not disappointed. Had the 'Afternoon Cheese' and it was amazing. You can select the types of cheese you do (or do not) want. When it arrived at...

I came across the cheese and wine tasting evening by chance. I liked that we were all served and talked to as individual groups, not lumped together. The cheeses and wines were carefully paired with attention paid to what order they were served in. It was clear that the owner is incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his business. A great evening.

A lovely cheeeese shop, Grommet! Well worth a visit if you are a bit (or a lot) of a cheesie mousie. Good selection of cheeses, wines, pickles and biscuits. Good little emporium who do food hampers too. It has a wonderful little café to the rear, who knew?! Called The Speakcheesey. Serves light bites, cheeseboards, toasties and pizzas. Also has a charming little courtyard garden to the rear, with a glimpse of York's renowned Walls through the trees. I had a pot of green tea and some Puttanesea olives with a triple cheese toastie. It came delightfully presented pon a slate with salad and great yummy crisps (Tyrells). The toastie had layers of Cheddar, Red Leicester and Mozarella, along with red onion marmalade, all served in a Haxby Bakehouse Sourdough. It was really good. Would recommend and would revisit. Oh, and good service too from the young gentleman. Thank you.

An excellent Café located just outside the city walls but well worth seeking out for light lunch with coffee or wine or just coffee/tea or just purchase from their range of interesting cheeses. Had a lovely tasty cheese toasty from the menu board provided with...

Had a great time and owner full of knowledge Decided to go for the 5 cheese taster menu with wine had a fantastic experience Started at 10.15 in morning and finished about 12.30 was not rushed thoroughly enjoyed thank you Definitely back soon
