The owner is a top-quality human being who was warm, knowledgeable, and entertaining in our brief visit at the shop. He helped us decide on the best cheese option, even offering little samples, which he did not need to do. A little taste of Italian hospitality and pride in a high-quality product. Highly recommend for meat, cheese, bread, jam, and wine!
As a french person, it’s always hard to find amazing cheese places that are up to par. Thé fromagerie does the trick! Paulines service and knowledge were impeccable, always fun to feel like I’m in france when I’m London for a second. Will definitely be back
Quality cheeses and very knowledgeable staff. I will definitely be returning soon!
I had to wait, as there was someone in front of me, coughing while she very slowly bought cheese. This was not a problem, but as she paid she remembered something else. I totally understood, and was waiting to be served, when another server arrived complaining of the queue growing in the body of the shop. With no apology for the length of my wait, when I asked if they had a brébis-chèvre blend, she was not interested in helping, just got a straight “no”. Absolutely no customer-service, or consideration. Won’t go there again, even though vegetarian and ready to spend a lot on cheese!.
Offhand, discourteous, and uninterested staff. No apologies for a long wait while a persnickety purchaser exulted in a prime queue position. Second member of staff reluctantly came to serve (?). No welcome, no friendliness. When asked about a cheese, she almost rolled her eyes. Who is serving whom? Unhelpful, negative and dismissive. .”We don’t go to France for cheese, we are just a big organisation using a wholesaler.” What a contrast to the caring and committed cheesemongers of Toulouse we had appreciated just a week before. This has to be our final attempt in over twenty-five years of well-intentioned neighbourhood supportive visiting to find something worthwhile in this place.
Fascinating to see the “bulldog defensive” responses from the management previously. Guys, just accept that nobody is trying to give you “disparaging” or “excoriating” reviews. We’re just reporting the disappointing experience, and there is enough coming up in-common for you to recognise it is time to arrange some effective review of staff attitudes and client service training. Not rocket science…..

Amazing place for a cheese fan. Wonderful range of interesting cheeses and helpful and passionate staff. They have gone out of the way to help me to find unique cheeses beginning with awkward letters of the alphabet for my cheese club 🥳🧀 while you're there pop in for a cheesy quiche and coffee too 🤗🥰
Went in Saturday- really morose energy coming off all the staff members, but clearly one in particular. No sales attention given to us at all just her icy presence making us uncomfortable. Once we had selected 3 cheeses totalling 25 pounds we were handed them individually as if we were going to walk home with them in the palm of our hands.
Whilst I’m here, I’ll mention the raqulette I bought from them 6 months ago - it was either poor quality or poorly sliced as it was sticking to our trays - something that has never happened
before until we bought from there.
Much much better off with the place on Newington Green, where you get enthusiastic, attentive and cheery service.
Will never go to La Fromagerie again.

This is my go-to for anything cheese related! They have a great selection and the people working there are very helpful!
They also have a nice selection of other things (cakes, tapenades, crackers) that would go perfectly on a charcuterie board in the front!
