The Cheese Shop's long history in La Jolla Shores has seen many customers grow from kids into parents. Established in 1972 by John and Dorothy Schutz, the shop began as purveyors of imported cheese and fine foods from all over the world. Over the years, different products have been added, and roasting meats and baking cookies in the shop – Made By US!!! – demonstrates that common food can be done uncommonly well.
Things "Made By US!!!" means the item is completely homemade -- something we are really proud to say. Nothing out of a can or box! The item is completely made from scratch!
Home cooking takes time and skill but it gives us a sense of pride and we guarantee that you'll LOVE it! You'll taste the difference! And you won't find our stuff anywhere else!
I think this is the best little sandwich shop in LaJolla! I had the egg salad and my husband had the New York special. Both sandwiches were made to order with whatever you might want added. The candy selection is way old old school with wax Dracula teeth and all. We'll be back.
A true hidden gem. We got a breakfast sandwich on English muffin with bacon and pepper jack cheese along with their famous turkey and avocado sandwich on wheat with no red onions sooooo simple and great! 2 cups of their fresh squeezed orange juice LITERALLY squeezed to order was the best pairing...
My parents have lived here since 1993 so I can't believe I haven't ever written a review. The sandwiches here are fine. The oatmeal cookies are flourless and fantastic. I always get one whenever I visit. The owner and staff are friendly and efficient so the lines aren't ever a big deal.
Such great sandwiches here! The owner is so so sweet and really cares about the customers! You can't get anything here that's not good! Their oatmeal cookies are the best thing ever! And they ship them to other parts of the US! Also don't forget to get some candy as well!
5 stars!!! Great Sandwich, New York special was amazing! Wide variety of bread and fillings. Sandwich was filled very generously! And tasted awesome! Staff were friendly and happy to recommend things! Must visit if you're in the area!
