While I was searching for a place that sells sweet treat, I came across this cheese shop – a quite unlikely place for sweets. What I was after was some macarons, and yes, they had them! So, all intrigued and curious, we headed to Inwood Gourmet. They sell local cheese, some special and artisan, including vegan kind. They also have all kinds of olives, and Greek items. And, according to their sign, “best bagels EVER” are also sold.
The inside was not too big, there were two ladies, possibly the owner and her daughter? They were very nice and greeted us with a smile. They didn’t really bother us while we looked around, until we asked questions about some of the things they have.
The most noticeable items in the store were these silver containers, and whole lots of olives. The containers had different kinds of olive oil and vinegar, I thought they were awesome. You can have a little sample of each before deciding which one to buy, which was really cool and helpful. Speaking of sampling, they had sample of cheese that they sell.
We bought their "best bagels EVER" - we could not resist - some macarons, and 1 bottle of artisan vinegar and olive oil, both poured from the silver containers. Both ladies were really nice and helpful, and before I started to try to pour the olive oil into the bottle, the older lady asked if I wanted her to do it, as she is so much more used to it. Great help, I don’t know if I could have done it without making a mess. They also told me a bit about their cheese, and answered any and all questions we had. Really friendly, and that made it such a pleasant visit. I will definitely go back for more of their offering, especially when I finish my vinegar and oil.
