Smallgoods Cheese Shop Cafe - La Jolla

This is an incredible cheese shop with even better company/ownership. We’ve known Jenny and Mike since before they had a storefront. Jenny is a member of the American cheese society. La Jolla doesn’t realize what a gem they have here (jk, they know, hence of recent awards! .The cheeses are amazing, tasty, and unusual/hard to find. The meats are tasty. They always have unique items today we bought some goat ghee! Another unique item they briefly had was a cave aged butter front Vermont that I think David Chang had special ordered. Today they had a harvest cheese that looked like a wheel made of fall sunset. The white truffle salami was very tasty. Our baby really enjoyed their baguette.I’d order their cheese trays and charcuterie boards for friends and family anytime. They have a fridge w some special soft cheeses to check out. Totally worth a stop for lunch or for a platter on your way to the beach. Hopefully you can say hi to Cash their dachshund who is also around on occasion.

I can’t say enough good things about Jenny and Small Goods! They went out of their way last minute to make a beautiful and festive charcuterie for a gift I needed.They included the most delicious things my kids who were the recipients couldn’t get over it!! I believe the meat was Wagu… not 100% but very high end meat and cheeses! They added caramels for my granddaughters.Couldn’t be more perfect!

Mike and Jenny’s cheese shop is absolutely fantastic for a sandwich (especially their wagyu sandwich! or for having them out together an amazing meat and cheese board for one of our dinner parties. We don’t go any where else. They have never failed in putting together the most amazing spreads. We are La Jolla locals and love them!

Food was good, but the owner was a bit weird, and pushy. My husband and i are first timers in LJ, and he aggressively insisted we try one of the cookies. he also stood around, and tried to make conversation with those around him outside, even when they seemed un interested in having a conversation. not a bad guy per say, just rubbed me the wrong way…
