I was in dire need of a place to stay tonight, and I grew up with the cheese importer family. Thankfully they were able to help.

Cheese Importers is my go-to place for the best huge assortment of cheese and gifts. I've never seen so many different cheeses in one cooler. Looking for a certain French ingredient? They have it. A cool unique gift for any occassion? They have it.

If you're wanting fancy cheese, look no further! They have local cheeses, imported cheeses, hard cheeses, soft cheeses, cheeses I've never even heard of! I love this place. The main store is fun to look through as well with mostly French themed treats, decor, and kitchen items.

I wish they would open back up to the public to go in the building. I love the unique decor they have that you can buy.

This store is an absolute DELIGHT. The cheese room (massive, refrigerated) is stocked with more cheese from many regions than I have ever seen in one location. Beautiful housewares, novelties, candies, wine and more. We drive to Longmont from Boulder with our kids just to spend time looking at pretty things and find lovely treats.

It really is a gourmet grocery store. I've found rose water, edible rose petals, small jars of lemon curd, just a lot of niche cooking items that would be hard to find, let alone in one spot. The cheese is awesome too. I would recommend visiting just for the fun of it.

Used to make the most delicious food when their kitchen was open, now post covid I go occasionally for rare cheeses and soaps and I love their selection. A little expensive is only downside.

Had no idea this place existed. The shop is adorable and the cheeses. OMG! Good thing I don't live closer or I would be there once a week spending my whole grocery budget

I love this place! They have cheeses that you can't find at regular grocery stores. And if the cafe ever opens again. It is delicious. Yummy French onion and jambon sammies! So good

I know this place has an incredible wine and cheese selection but the gifts are amazing too! I was very pleased to find a Chantal olive jar to go with the delicious olives they sell.

Huge selection of cheese-domestic and international plus a huge selection of French and English grocery items. There is a wonderful selection of international decor as well. I haven't even seen everything yet!

This is an amazing shop for anyone who loves cheese, gifts, travel, shopping, food. So many treats and wonderfully curated. The shop is two stories and each room should be experienced - children's gifts, Parisian treats, stationary, cookware and so much more. Cheeses from all across the world as well as local cheese and vegan cheese.

Charcuterie Board lovers unite! Cheese Importers is such a gem! As soon as you step through the doors, you forget you are in Colorado and you feel as if you're in a European market. Every nook and cranny hides a hidden treasure you either want for yourself, or you want to buy for a loved one. The cheese cooler is even better! Coats are hung by the entrance for those not from Colorado (Coloradans love their cold!) and the cheese cooler is full of tasty samples and experts ready to offer their unrivaled cheese knowledge.

The cheese is organized by country, which makes it fun to shop for a smorgasbord of delectable dairy. Covid has taken a toll on the beloved cafe; hopefully the owners are ready to open it soon. I had a swoon-worthy baby shower on the second floor private room full of Victorian sofas and Parisian cafe tables.

A family-favorite place to shop, snack, dine, and learn about cheese, salami, and some specialty products. We are glad Cheese Importers is a part of our Longmont community.

Every time we visit the in-laws, I have to shop here. I will take benadryl, for my allergy to lavender. This quaint import shop has been expertly curated. I only found out this year that there is an upstairs! How did I miss that? If you are looking to set a smorgasbord charcuterie table. This place has it all. Meats, cheeses, wine, pasta, preserves, desserts, and lovely frozen croissants to bake at home.

The housewares are gorgeous. You can make your own gift baskets, or choose one of their signature ones. Too Much Great Stuff! Spend a day shopping here. You wont regret it. If you don't know what to get, the staff are very knowledgeable and willing to help you find that perfect something for the perfect someone. This holiday trip, I have been here 5 times, and I am not done! The upstairs needs some exploring

Amazing store. I mean, in Longmont? Yes, I live in Longmont and love it here, but the scope of excellence of this store goes beyond what one can reasonably expect to find in most big cities.

Fantastic find! They had so many different kinds of cheeses, jams, salamis, baked goods, books, knives, etc. This is a great place to stop for a picnic or to buy presents for people. Note that the address is Main Street but the entrance is on the back side. There's also a parking long on that side, but if you are walking from Main, you will be along the train tracks without a sidewalk and feel like this can't possibly be right. But it is. Keep going. Cheese awaits.

I was looking for specifically dutch cheeses and I not only found them but every other cheese imaginable. They also have a huge selection of other European treats and snacks. If you're looking for something out of the ordinary, you'll find it here!

This place is fabulous! Not only do they have yummy things to eat there or to take out, they also have THE BEST cheese selections from the USA AND around the world. The cheese room is refrigerated, so brings jacket! They also have a nice selection of olives and peppers and other deli-type items in the cheese room! Additionally, there's a great selection of household items which make. great gifts, mostly from France.

If all this doesn't draw you in, they also have a selection of dried pastas and wonderful salts and they sell fresh baguettes which are conveniently located near the check out counter! If you don't love it here, as I do, there's something seriously wrong with you!

Cute little hole in the wall wonderland of anything artesian you can think of. Came in looking for Macarons and sure enough I found them along with a menagerie of other quirky goods. The cheese selection will blow you away with how many options there are, and the rest of the shop presents a plethora of odds and ends that you didn't know you wanted until you saw them. Would highly recommend popping in, as the goods are plentiful and the staff if as friendly as can be.

I had to step aside and accept I wasn't the "cheesiest" one in the room for once! Went here with the little ones (grandkids) and we had a blast. The decore was French which made me hungry and there was something there for everyone. I had to run away from all the scrumptious exotic candy as I'm diabetic and I locked myself in the giant cheese fridge in search of safety!.BIG Mistake.

Cheese folks. Lots of cheese. Delicious cheese. From EVERY country. Geez. I felt like the new kid in school and the cheeses were trying to test me by teasing me! I had to fight the urge to not buy everything on the shelf! I've had an easier time ignoring cute little puppies in the shelter than leaving these gorgeous cheeses behind (kidding) Thank you for the fun guys!

What a great gem in Longmont! There's a nice store filled with various kitchen stuff, European centered snacks/ingredients, and alcohol. Then there's a whole part 2 of the store where it's FILLED with cheese. This is the most expansive cheese selection I've run into, EVER. The entire part is the size of a smaller store and it's basically like being inside a cheese display case. There's also an area where they are slicing meats and serve yourself accompaniments such as olives and pickles. Chips, crackers, and other cheese tray additions are sprinkled throughout.
