A Fond Farewell...

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of Bedford Cheese Shop at 67 Irving Place in New York City, effective mid-June.

Bedford Cheese Shop first opened in 2003, and we have proudly served the Gramercy Park neighborhood since opening this location nearly 14 years ago. This decision has not been made lightly—it comes after careful consideration and deep reflection. Unfortunately, we can no longer operate out of our current space, as the building is set to undergo an extensive, multi-year renovation. This challenge, coupled with other forces outside our control—rising costs of doing business in New York City, increasing prices of products and supplies, and broader economic uncertainty—has made a path forward unfeasible at this time.

Still, we know that change is a constant, and with every challenge comes the possibility of new beginnings. For now, closing the Shop is a necessary step that will give us the space and time to reassess and reimagine what the next chapter of Bedford Cheese Shop might look like.

We offer our deepest gratitude to our remarkable team of cheesemongers who have shared their knowledge and passion so generously, to our loyal customers whose continued support has sustained us through the years, and to the dedicated artisans whose exceptional products have filled our shelves. We are endlessly thankful and inspired by you all.

Please stop by to see us in the coming weeks if you can!

With Love,
Samantha, Christina, & All of Us at Bedford Cheese Shop

About Bedford Cheese Shop

IT'S OUR STORY

About Bedford Cheese Shop

Bedford Cheese Shop was founded in 2003 with the mission of purveying hand-selected cheeses, charcuterie, specialty pantry items, and house-made foods for our community near and far. We endeavor to share our passion and knowledge of these foods in a way that creates a fun and memorable experience for our customers. As cheesemongers, we value the old-world tradition of imparting the origin, attributes, nuances, and stories behind the foods we offer. In fact, we take this responsibility seriously; our role is to be the bridge between the talented cheesemakers, and our customers.

As a woman-owned small business, we thrive on the opportunity to support similar efforts whenever possible: hand-made, small batch, local, independent, and delicious. All the while, we work shoulder-to-shoulder with our colleagues in an environment where we value hard work, respect, integrity, and laughter!

We extend our passion for cheese and community beyond the walls of our Shop by offering classes and creating a range of products - platters, cheese boards, gift baskets - available for pick-up or delivery in New York City and beyond. We hope the information to follow inspires your senses. We look forward to serving you!
