Montana Avenue has a couple of staples, Father’s Office probably being the most popular amongst them. Beyond the beer and burger, Montana Cafe and 17th Street Cafe have been there forever, and Babalu even survived a fire. Fireside Cellars has an impressive selection of high-end wines, but the Duck Blind is the only liquor store around that sells high-end nudie magazines. With a constantly revolving selection of specialty stores pitching blink and you’ll miss them trends, it’s easy to ignore a new store opening.
Not so with Andrew’s Cheese Shop. Featuring a wide variety of cheeses from milk of every beast, the selection is both surprising and well-edited. They make fresh mozzarella every Wednesday, and even have plans for a singles cheese night in the works. Owner Andrew Steiner is exactly the shopkeeper you hope he’d be, handing out samples along with his personal notes on each cheese. Tell him what you like: soft or hard, mild or strong, and he’ll start slicing. I stopped in just to take a look around, but after chatting with Andrew for a few minutes about the smoked bleu cheese, I ended up leaving the shop with a wedge of cocoa-dusted creamy goat cheese and plans to return.
