AWESOME!! AWESOME!! AWESOME!!

by Turrbo

If you like fine foods this is the place for you. Grab a great bottle of wine, some cheese, and FANTASTIC service. They gladly took me in 5min before close and spent well over 40min with me with all the great items they had on hand.

Passion is a wonderful thing, especially whey there's food involved. This is the place for you if you love cheese. DON'T come here if you're expecting a 10" tall sandwich made from cheap product, it's good food, for people that have an advanced level of taste.

• Pros: Fine and rare cheeses and meats
• Cons: it's pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Great service and best veggie sandwich in Silver Lake!

by IMOC

It was my favorite type of morning, the kind that's a bit chilly with a little drizzle making me want to be somewhere cozy, drinking a frothy cappuccino or a thick hot chocolate while dipping a warm, crunchy, buttery baguette into both. A friend invited me for breakfast to this local cafe that I've driven and walked by for a year but never felt the pull to visit, what a mistake!!! Say Cheese has everything I love about a cafe, a European ambience but with great American service. Brian, our server, was excellent! He made sure we were comfortable, happy and was very attentive without being too intrusive throughout our 2 hour stay. I'm a vegetarian and was wary about ordering the veggie sandwich because most restaurants think vegetarian food has to be boring but to my surpirse, the portobello sandwich was very tasty. Go and enjoy yourself at Say Cheese and say hi to Brian.

Jewel in Silver Lake - Fromagerie & Cafe - Delicious food & coffee, gorgeous selection of cheeses

by dottingpromise

We tried Say Cheese for breakfast: morning cheese plate came with a sampling of exquisite gourmet cheeses, a couple of strawberries, dried fruit, and a baguette. The European Ham & Gruyere on a croissant was utterly delicious - served with gourmet mustard. The caffe latte was unmatched. And the orange juice tasted fresh-squeezed. Our waiter was very attentive. Afterwards, we enjoyed perusing the little fromagerie. Glenn (behind the counter) was friendly and clearly an expert in cheese and gourmet meat. He let us sample the gorgeous Serrano ham, Pata Negra, various salamis (the pepper salami was our favorite)... we left with a big bag filled to the brim with cave-aged gouda, gruyere, melt-in-your-mouth goat cheese, the Serrano ham, and pepper salami... and couldn't resist adding several of the flaky, buttery croissants. What a picnic we had later! It was truly an experience... and we'll stop by again very soon.

• Pros: High quality food, great selection of cheese, knowledgeable & friendly staff
• Cons: None
