A warm welcome, fabulous cheeses and accompaniments await you. It was a lousy, wet afternoon and most cafes had closed for the day. Stumbling upon this wonderful cheese shop was a lovely experience. We only came for a cup of tea and Chai latte, with biscotti, but left with ready made macaroni cheese, which was a delicious, lazy dinner that evening. The shop has a wonderful smell, with a good range of accoutrements and small goods, and you would be forgiven for thinking you had stepped into a charcuterie in France! If you are driving to Wellington, make sure you stop off here!

Tried the Black Truffle Brie made locally and recommended to me too in the Wairarapa was divine and literally melted in your mouth.Took it round to friends place for drinks/nibbles for a Birthday Treat before dining out later in the evening.
Have also got coffee and hot chocolates in the morning too with their homemade cheese scones with blue vein, pretty good and right up there too.
Well done guys what a selection and full of choice of products you have and other marinades, the shop is always full and you make your own cheese as well.
Best shop ever, come down to Greytown too please !!

We just stopped here for a coffee/hot chocolate on a cold Saturday afternoon, but also browsed the shop a little. There is some interesting deli related tasty stock in C'est Cheese. If you are looking for a different cheese certainly the place to go. Worth a stop if you are passing through Featherston.

Had coffee and a cheese scone at C'est Cheese today. Two choices. Blue cheese or extra tasty. We opted for the extra tasty and I shared it with my husband as it was big enough for two.
It was perfection. The best cheese scone I've ever had.
Tres bon!

Loved this boutique cheese store. Stopped by while passing through Featherstone to check out their award winning cheeses. They stock a wide variety of cheeses including goat and ewe cheeses. Taste tested some and bought some to being home and savour. Highly recommended.

They're on Facebook - C'est Cheese, Featherston, Wairarapa, New Zealand. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cest-Cheese/178075662286199
Awesome place. On SH2. So anyone travelling out of Wellington on SH2, over the Rimutaka Hill, Featherston is the first township over the Rimutaka Hill. C'est Cheese is on your left opposite the Royal Hotel and near the Mobil Garage. Amazing cheeses. All from NZ and mostly local and they will be making their own cheese out the back - you'll be able to see them through the window in the shop! Just awesome. Worth a stop for sure. There's a cafe next door for a coffee too.
Cheese to die for. They're even open 7 days a week 10am - 6pm! Christmas Day excepted!
My favourites are: Fromaglio - soft cream cheese made in Greytown, up the road, with celery! oooo Yummmm. Lindis Brie and Whitestone's Windsor Blue. With pears or celery. But they have a huge range of New Zealand Cheeses and will be making their own very soon. They also have a great range of oils, biscuits etc - all to go with their amazing cheeses. Cheese-lover's heaven. Enjoy.

Stopped here recently to check out the selection, and purchase some cheese for our road trip. The shop is very lovely, and has an excellent selection. My suggestion for you is to work on your customer service a little bit. We got a hello on the way in, we asked if we could try the cheese of the day, to which it was pointed out to us on the counter. That is were the customer service finished. We were standing there for some time, not once did the lady ask if we needed help, or what type of cheeses do we usually like to make a suggestion with. Your shop is advertised on the maps, are you are in a tourist town, so I'm guessing would rely on tourist stopping at your shop. Offering some customer service to your customer would make them buy more, or in our case at least some cheese.
