Came here to expand my palate and get some recommendations for high quality cheeses. I could not be more happy with the experience that I had here. Jeff was incredibly kind and patient. He took the time to thoroughly explain the flavor profile of each cheese I was interested in and which cheeses would pair well with each other. It's clear that the employees of this shop are passionate about what they do. I will return to try some of Jeff's other recommendations including some hard to find cured meats and chocolate covered sweets as well.

Speaking as an insider— I’m a former employee— I can say that not only does Ideal have the best selection of European cheeses in New York, bar none, but that it is an incredible asset to the community. The shop has fiercely loyal regulars, many of them expats who want a taste of home, and they all get so much joy out of being here. The owners, the Binetti family, are some of the kindest and most considerate people I have ever met— they were a joy to work for. The staff too are a wonderful, colorful cast of characters, each of whom brings their own unique style and expertise to creating an educational, gourmet experience suitable for customers of all levels of connoisseurship. By patronizing Ideal, you will not only be getting the best cheese in New York— you will be supporting a gem of an institution.

Your one stop shop for everything cheese. You might be overwhelmed by the choices but the staff are there to help you and let you sample some. There's a nice selection of pasta and crackers too. The prices are good. They also offer charcuterie boards. Looking forward to visiting again soon.
