Van Hook Cheese Grocery - Montclair

There's a cheese you've never had, waiting quietly for you, in a refrigerator, at Van Hook. And you'll marvel at the richness of its cream, the funkiness of its oak tones, its very existence. And then you'll realize there's hundreds of them. All kinds. And meats, jams, it just keeps going. I had a moment that was like the scene in Moscow on the Hudson when he sees the variety and amount of coffee. Some of the items were too high, but most were worth it. You're gonna need more than one day. I intend to have a little something from here every day I'm in the area, until the day I die. Plus, the lady in charge of the place looks like Zooey Deschanel. She's very informative and helpful. It's the cleanest place I ever saw. Go discover fresh cheese from all over the world. Small, inexpensive pieces are sold, too.

An abundant variety of domestic and imported cheeses.The personal service uplifts the experience.

Ok …the place gets 5 stars….love everything about it! Everything is amazing….one of the few stores ever that actually makes me happy to be in it!The missing star is for the hours. They close at 6pm!!! Come on, we are all just getting home from work….Tell you what, I will pay for your employees to extend the hours to 8 pm and you keep 80% of the profits and I keep 20….if you don’t see a huge uptick after 6 months, I will pay you $5kThat’s how sure I am right you have your hours all wrong!!

Excellent selection. Very helpful staff. Would love if the they also sold fresh bread.

They got pistachio cream here. Better then Nutella, people don’t know yet.
