" The Big Cheese is truly a reflection of local charm! The community vibe resonated throughout my visit, and the food was crafted with great care. The selection of cheeses left me wanting to try all their varieties. Perfect for a cozy lunch spot with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty good time at The Big Cheese. The food was tasty and fresh; however, I felt that the service was a tad slow, especially at peak lunch hours. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, which was decent but not as cheesy as I hoped. The vintage shop in the back added a quaint charm to the place, and I will likely visit again to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a charming little cafe! After hiking nearby, we stumbled upon The Big Cheese and were pleasantly surprised. The food, particularly their assortment of cheeses and pastries, was divine! I had the mushroom latte, which was unique and delicious. The staff was attentive and ensured we had a great experience. The only downside was the limited outdoor seating, but overall, it was a fantastic visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is one hidden gem I would love to revisit! Everything from the cheese selection to the charming atmosphere draws me in. We shared some pastries and a sandwich. While the pastries were top-notch, the sandwich could have had a bit more flavor. However, I would gladly return for more of their artisan cheese. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Big Cheese does have a lot of great aspects, especially their unique cheese selection and interesting decor. I tried a new type of sandwich, and while it was flavorful, the portion felt small for the price I paid. The staff tried their best, but service was slower than expected. However, I appreciate the effort to provide local and fresh ingredients! " (*Curated Review*)
