First time visiting and loved everything about Cheese Please! Delicious cheeses, meats and wine pairings, cozy atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. Well organized and visually pleasing front store area to browse and purchase your favorites to take home. Happy to see some local jam and jelly offerings on their shelves too. A big thank you to my best friend for introducing me to this place for a wonderful birthday outing. This cheese lover will definitely be returning for more!

Cheese please is awesome ❤️❤️❤️ Great variety loved the environment and the owners also own the cigar lounge next door. We paired our whiskey cheeses meats and cigars. We will definitely be back

My favorite cheese place. They always have the most perfect jam and mustard pairings. Their toffee pudding cheese and truffle goat are two of the best cheeses I’ve ever had.

Love this place. The owners are fantastic!

Very nice cool place with good product. Stephan C was excellent, super pleasant and impressive.

Good wine selection, always seem to come up with a little gem that I am happy to pick up after a tasting. Amazing cheese selection, a mix of discovered favorites and new tastes to try. New owners still making guests feel welcome and carrying on ChhesePlease expected tradition of being friendly, passionate and knowledgeable

Sam and his crew are awesome. Stop by and have a glass, or a bottle, with a grilled cheese or a salad (new salad menu). Bonanza Cabernet and the Feta salad were delicious.

Fun lots of extra samples great wine selection and trivia! Took my mom and we both learned alot and had a great time

Are you in love with 🍷and love tasting 🧀, this place is a must for visiting, enjoy! 😀

Great place! Very fun! Cheese was delicious. First time actually drinking wine and it was so good!!! Definitely will come back

Wine tasting is so much fun! Good laughs. Good food. Good wine!

This wine shop is supreme! They had a wide range of good collections of wine. One thing that I liked about this wine shop, you could taste the wine first before buying it. The staves will help you to choose a great wine. Also, they were friendly and accommodating as well. Highly recommended!

I recently visited cheese please for the first time and it was wonderful. The winds were very enjoyable and the charcuterie was fantastic. The staff was incredibly helpful with the wine selections and especially the cheese selections. They provided a great experience, including Sam, the owner. I will be back here again and again. PS The cigar bar next-door with the same owner is just opening and it’s a wonderful experience as well.

Love the cheese selection and jam pairings. Outside seating is a plus! Service was great. This is our favorite place for wine and cheese tasting.

Exceptional! Great music, ambiance and most importantly, Cheese!

Ill be giving my 5 stars all the way to this wine shop. He never fails me on my high expectations. Highly recommended for both meetings and friends as well for having an excellent atmosphere. It was a nice experience for me for the first time. An outstanding place to visit!

Winding the day down at cheese please has become my routine. The best selection of cheese and wine with a chilled atmosphere. Sami and Mya are always so welcoming and ready to share a glass of wine. Highly recommended for a great time with friends or some needed “me time.”

LOVE this place. They have legit European cheeses with the honey and mustard dips and wine. You can get wine flights to try out 3 at a time. Its a pretty small place, you dont need a reservation but it can get packed on a weekend night. They have funny little quotes on the walls that you can purchase if you like them. You can also buy more cheese blocks and condiments to take home, or even cheese platters for a party are premade and available.

The plate that the owner put together was out of this world! The primmadonna with the spiced onion pepper jelly hit the spot. Definitely made our Friday At home date night. This place is definitely a new favorite!

Went there yesterday with my girlfriend. There food was mouth watering and there staff were amazing! The owners Mia and Sam are really generous, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend!

Very warm and cozy place, kind of tight when it comes to space but does not matter when it comes to the experience. Not a large selection of wine but each one that I tried was outstanding you can tell the wines they choose for the menu are special. I was not familiar with the cheeses they had so I asked the bartender to choose for me and that I prefer spicy, he smiled and said I got you and to my surprise he did not let me down! Everything on my plate was absolutely stunning and delicious. Everything he chose was absolutely great tasting! The waitress was extremely attentive and asked me if there was anything I needed at the right times and was never too slow or annoying. The owner even approached me and I asked for his recommendation on grill cheeses and he selected a grill cheese that will forever have a place in my heart ha ha. Do not come here worrying about money and just indulge in the experience believe me! I will be back for sure and it was my pleasure that I came (after work).Pros: everythingCons: tight space but really doesnt matter

I was expecting good cheese. What I got instead was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted in my life. Like, my girlfriend and I both had to pause after our first bites to process just how cosmically, stratospherically good it was. It was so good I thought about it for the rest of the day. I’m still thinking about it. I think maybe I’ll always be thinking about it. For me, the bar has been raised not just for cheese, but for the human sensation of eating. I’ll never be the same, and can’t wait to visit again!

We had a great time for a friends birthday! Staff was very interactive and oh so fun & informative! We all had a great experience that night. We would go back & we did recommend it to our friends. Stacy was our server. She was awesome! (I don’t care for “out of the ordinary” kind of cheese) but it was so much fun and such a good time. Worth to check out!

Great selection of cheeses and wines. Owner very knowledgeable and inviting. Good prices.

Great Wine and Delicious & Specialty Cheese selections!! Friendly service!!

Best cheese board and grilled cheese I ever had in a restaurant. The only negative is they need to put more of the jellies or sauces because they were so good. It’s a very small hole in the wall place but wow how delicious everything was.

Cozy and yummy. The staff is very knowledge and the variety of cheeses, wines and beers are wonderful.

Amazing wine and charcuterie... and staff! In a small wine bar, the staff makes it or breaks it. Sam (and I was feeling the wine so I didnt catch the other gentlemans name on 8/8 pm shift, (Andre?)) made us feel like wed been friends forever and definitely found our new favorite spot! Will be back soon, cheers!

Came to the bar on Saturday for the first time with my boyfriend and had a great experience. Our server Abby was very knowledgeable about the cheeses and wine and made great recommendations. Will definitely be coming back!

I was surprised to find a chill spot like this around here. The staff was very friendly and they had a big selection of cigars. Will definitely be coming back!

Best cozy place. Love the sandwiches and i enjoy drinking wine specially when the owner Sam is around! Sooooo friendly. Tried the wine tasting 👌Simply this is my happy place 🍷🧀

Fantastic service! Excellent food and great wine. Definitely worth a stop!!

Highly recommended. This is the type of small business that you really hope weathers the pandemic and stays in business. We love Cheese Please!

Excellent variety and specialty cheeses and cold cuts that are super flavorful and delicious!!! The atmosphere is inviting and the staff really friendly. Wines are top notch! Great way to relax after a crazy day!

Great place!! Very friendly and welcoming. If you are a cheese and wine lover then thats the place to go to!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED🍷🧀

This place is simply amazing. We have been here a few times and have never once been disappointed. The safe as always been fun and super nice while always remembering customers. Would highly recommend this place.

Hidden gem. Amazing grilled cheeses and charcuterie boards as well as a fantastic wine selection in the back bar. Fun, laid-back vibe, very LGBT friendly. Highly recommend. 🍷🧀

We had such a great time! Staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcomed. Cheeses are amazing hands down. Pair them with wine and a good company and you have an excellent evening!

Very odd cheese tasting experience. The people running the place are a little excentric and made it memorable. Tasting the cheeses with and without the accoutrement was a good idea, but I wish they had a few different breads rather than all French baguette (it tasted fine). The wine refills during tasting were an unexpected bonus. The grilled cheeses look pretty good!

Fun experience and great service. Went here before dinner and enjoyed their 3 option platter. Nice wine and craft beer options.

This is the most fun you can have at a beer and cheese tasting. Dinner and a show! Excellent value for the money. Well always come back here. Learn something new every time and have a blast.

Welcome home, Mama. Cheese Please serves unique red & white varietals and distinct cheeses and meats. The back room has a speakeasy feel and the attention you receive is charming and knowledgeable. Takeout is available at the entrance and the glass cases are filled with care and the top notch presentation is appreciated. If you are looking for a low key hot minute in what could pass for the hippest jazz fusion lounge that is not a jazz fusion lounge then give this delight a try.

10/10 stars if I could. Fantastic staff, awesome menu selection. Not usually a fan of wine bars but this place felt like home. Definitely need to go back.

WOW What an amazing place! The owner is just the bees knees! I cant wait to try the cheese tasting he spoke of. I on a whim decided to get a gift basket, he built it before my eyes and was it a hit!

Michael was so so helpful in helping me design my cheese wedding cake! It was gorgeous and the perfect mix of cheeses with jams! Highly recommend this great little shop!

Very interesting place, nice selection of cheese and wine plus some rather unique dessert and snack offerings. A bit pricey, but all look very tasty. What I had was very good.

Michael is amazing! My girlfriends and I went to the tasting last night then back again this afternoon. Lovely time.

My husband and I love it here. From the moment you walk in you feel at home. Michael and his staff are amazing in personality and service. Just go to this place you will not be disappointed.

This place was beyond amazing! Everything was paired perfectly and the owner Michael was incredible. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves cheese, wine, jelly, charcuterie, or delicious food.PS their 3 king grilled cheese is the best grilled cheese Ive ever had

Cheese Please has a large selection of products from around the world and a very knowledgeable staff. I attended a wine and cheese pairing and found it interesting and very much gay male themed. During the informative presentation, each new pairing was based on a picture of provocative men and oogled at by the crowd (mostly women). Fair enough. But before you call me too conservative or gay bashing please note I consider myself very liberal and accepting. I try to understand all points of view and work in a business run by gay men. But Im not. I would have preferred some sexually neutral humor and images. I cant imagine the uproar if the pairing had semi nude women. It would have been just as presumptuous as what I experienced. Just be forewarned.

Fantastic Service! I just walked in without any knowledge of cheese and Michael helped me pick all types for all my friends with just a few questions. Excited to try more!

My husband and I were in love with the place. Great wine selection, great cheese, service is super good. Go go go go there. You will love it.

Amazing cheese selection in the shop, amazing grilled cheeses at Clooney’s and even more amazing tasting events in the tasting room. If I could give them 10 stars I would! The owners are hilarious, knowledgeable and very friendly.

Had a blast during the cheese/wine tasting. Michael was super fun and educational, can’t wait to go back!

Loved this cute little secluded place. Pick and choose your own cheese and charcuterie board. Owner is funny knowledge and fun to hang with.

Just an amazing place well-staffed.. Michael definitely knows how to show his Hospitality with his guests wines are incredible.. looking forward to going back.. the bottle we had was Lara from Italy outstanding red blend..

What isn’t to like about this place. Great beer, wine and cheese selection. The only thing better is the entertaining host. Highly recommend sitting at the Clooney bar, the guy running this area was hilarious and fun. It is expensive, but worth it.

Good selection of wine, great selection of cheeses. Very good service. Beware Google maps has an error and will not properly guide you.

A gourmet cheese mecca! Michael and Carlos, as well as the staff, are very knowledgeable. Cozy back room bar offers incredible gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches as well as charcuterie boards paired with selected wines.

This place was amazing! The owner, who hosts the Cheese tasting, is hilarious and so informational! The cheese was awesome! I will definitely be going back!

Went with a group a few months ago and love the concept. Owners were knowledgable about the cheese and wine pairings. They did a great job explaining everything and kept it relaxed. Fun place to go but you also learn a little something too.

The atmosphere is great to just sit down and talk to your friends while sipping on some great wines! The staffs recommendations are on point! I had a great experience highly recommend this place.

Did a wine tasting Friday night and Michael never disappoints! It wasn’t my first time. It’s an AWESOME event!!!! Invited 18 ppl and everyone raved about how much fun they had. He is so funny and knowledgeable. Even if you are just visiting the bar as a guest and not necessarily doing the wine tasting: great wine, food, service, and atmosphere! Lastly, we also love buying some of the wine and cheese we sample from the small market up front. Go to Chease Please- it’s great!!!

Had a great time. Michael & Carlos were terrific hosts. The cheese and wine selections were excellent. Would highly recommend this experience.

Love the cheese and wine tasting, after tasting you can walk the store and select all items from the tasting and buy it. Great staff and fun event.

New favorite cheese plate in town!!! Beyond great...

Great place. After a scheduling issue with a tasting ..every single person working came over to us to make sure we had a great night. The wine was great, the cheese is perfectly paired, the staff is knowledgable and entertaining, and from the moment you step in the door you feel like a regular.

Nice, cosy cheese and wine bar with a good collection. The staff is also quite nice.

Small place but warm atmosphere. The cheese and shine tasting is an experience that shouldnt be missed. Fun, yummy and surprisingly educational.

I was able to have a taste of five or six flavors of cheese. Great atmosphere, good service.

Best cheese and wine 🍷 bar in TAMPA!!

Lots of different great cheeses! Nice place to drink wine and sample cheese! Goat, cow and sheep cheese.

Friendly place. cozy. expansive, but enjoy coming here. support your local business! these small friendly places are getting hard to find.

Go for their weekend evening wine and cheese tasting! The back bar, with George Clooney theme, is super cute. Staff is a wee bit snobbish, putting on airs as South Tampa sometimes does. A nice evening out, total change of pace from the usual restaurant or small plates.

Love the cheese assortment and fun little wine bar in the back.

Wonderful selection of cheese and wine. I highly recommend going for a tasting especially a chocolate amd cheese pairing!

Cozy room, tasty pairings of cheese with honey or jams and wines. Well worth a stop for Foodies who want to have fun.

Love Cheese, Please! The tastings are tons of fun or go after work for a drink. Great atmosphere!

Good amount of cheese and PLENTY of wine. The owners are fabulous--and I mean every sense of the word ;) definitely something worth doing.

The cheese is phenomenal, I recommend asking your server for recommendations. I came here after a ladies lunch and had a great, relaxing time.

Go to the cheese tasting. The owner is very smart, funny and informative.

The service was amazing and the cheese and wine tasting was so much fun. 10/10 would reccomend

Great cozy atmosphere and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Great cheese board!

Michael, Renee, James, and Arol were just amazing. They brought me in like family, even introduced me to one of their reps.Favorite wine/cheese bar in Tampa!

Best kept secret in town. Perfect for an afternoon excape

Great place..cheese was amazing wine was great and service was outstanding!

The owner is really nice. Excellent customer service.

I love Cheese Please - Micheal and staff always have the perfect pairings for wine and cheeses.

Tasty wine and savory grilled cheese sandwiches. Added bonus if you like George Clooney, his pictures are all over the place here.

Michael and his staff are so warm and welcoming! A quality place for any occasion.

Love the grilled cheese options! So happy I found this place.

Best cheese place in Tampa bay area. Beat wine and cheese tasting parties in town!

Great place for top notch wine, cheese and small bites

Great tasting events. Bring your friends, always a good time.

Great wine and cheese.

Best grilled cheese in Tampa Bay! Great selection of cheeses and wine!

Listen. I need you to understand. Let me set the scene. South Tampa has given you a case of the bayshore blues. Its raining, the bolts lost, you arent allowed back at any bar in SoHo after the shorts incident, so youre roaming MacDill like in Mad Max, only instead of the wasteland its a gentrified wasteland and instead of Tina Turner its Stamkos or something, ok, sorry, getting off topic. Anyways youre roaming MacDill in the Medusa when you see it.... yes... between the gaudy soccer mom traps and the bars where dudes tell you theyre entrepreneurs and wont shut up about TED talks ... and you see a humble sign, glowing like a beacon in the humid Tampa night. An orchestra plays. The rain turns to liquid Siberian Pule.Cheese PleaseYou brake so hard someone almost wrecks their Lexus and you dive out from the wreckage to carefully enter la dieu doux temple sacré doré du fromage (thats Québécois for cheese please). What is this place? What secrets does it hold?Its like a wine bar, but theyve got cheeses so good that youre probably going to need to read some books on cheese to fully understand. Also theres a wine bar. As a local weirdo, I recommend grabbing a fistful of the most unpronouncable ones and a bottle of prosecco and going to sit under the Selmon Expressway Bridge and become a delightful bacchenalian tramp. Disclaimer: Tampa PD discourages being a delightful bacchenalian tramp in public.

Love the atmosphere and the friendly owners. Cheese and wines are terrific.

Great tasting bar and cheese platters, very friendly staff.

Fun on a Sunday afternoon. Will be back for a tasting or three.
