We told Lauren, the owner, what type of flavor of cheese we liked and she picked ones she thought we'd like. She was right, they were delicious! Love the food!
Went out for a wine and cheese night at the corner counter since we have been pleased with buying their unique cheeses to bring home. The service was nonexistent, we seated ourselves at a table, went to the counter to order, they brought out the wrong wine and did not bring napkins utensils or plates or wipe down the tables of guests who had finished and left. We ordered two glasses of wine and their “big board” which was $40. Three cheeses and three meats which were “monger picked” consisted of a baby brie, cheddar, gouda, salami, smoked pepperoni and one specialty meat together with fig jam, cornichons and dried apricots. Asking $40 for their hand picked “artisan cheese and charcuterie” and then being served something with small portions, little variation and poor service the quality advertised wasnt there. After we ate we walked around the grocery section to buy some bread and cheese before going home. When we went to check out the guy tried only charging us 3.50 for the bread we picked, seemingly unaware that we had just spent over an hour there when he was the one to take our order. We corrected him and paid for the full service but it quite honestly left a bad taste in our mouths and gave the impression that this small business preaching to the community about specialty cheeses and such is all about money. Pictured is the board we paid $40 for. The cheeses displayed none of which were actually served on their “monger” curated board. The dried apricots they’re selling for $3.79 for a whole container. Our previous visits were much better, but after trusting their “monger” selection I don’t anticipate coming back for seconds.
Absolutely perfect little shop. They have a very carefully selected variety of wonderful cheese and meats with seating for a leisurely afternoon snacking. Got a quiche from the fridge and it’s probably the best quiche I’ve ever had. Will be back!
So happy we stumbled upon the corner counter during a recent visit to the Catskills. The team was very knowledgeable and helpful. And the grilled cheeses were some of the best we’ve ever had. Highly recommend if you’re in red hook
Couldn't have asked for more - Lovely atmosphere, friendly service and delicious food! I had a glass of the local pear cider, the Figgie Piggie sandwich and Harvest Quinoa salad. 👌 I highly recommend them all!
Absolutely delicious grilled cheese (& Italian ham) sandwiches among other delicacies. Extremely well-curated, wine selection. Exquisite to go foods. Friendly, knowledge service & spotlessly clean. Didn’t break the bank but definitely a luxury experience.
This place gets it.
Highly recommend!!
