The Cheese Shop, Joo Chiat

About The Cheese Shop, Joo Chiat

The Cheese Shop on Joo Chiat Road is Singapore's specialist fromagerie and gourmet grocery — a shop built around a serious cheese counter and everything that makes a cheese board sing. The range is thoughtfully organised by type of milk (cows', sheep's, goats'), by style (soft, semi-hard, hard, blue, and fruit and savoury blends) and by country of origin, spanning France, Great Britain and Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, with a dedicated vegetarian selection alongside. The cheeses regulars come back for include Brie de Meaux AOC, truffle-studded brie, fresh burrata, an 18-month summer-milk Comté and aged Red Leicesters, with a rotating featured shelf surfacing names like Hornbacher, Cravanzina and the monthly Cheese of the Month. British fans are well served by Snowdonia's waxed truckles — truffle, chilli, pickled onion, port and brandy, cranberry — plus mustard-and-ale and whisky cheddars. Beyond the counter you'll find accompaniments from crackers to chutneys, fine foods with cult butters like Bordier, a full wine and beer section for pairing, ready-to-serve party platters, gift packs and cheese boards. The shop also runs events and ships orders, with the team reachable at +65 8887 0638.

The Cheese Shop, Joo Chiat: Singapore's Neighbourhood Fromagerie for Cheese, Wine and Fine Foods

On Joo Chiat Road, The Cheese Shop does exactly what its name promises — and then keeps going. It is a specialist fromagerie and gourmet grocery built around one simple idea: great cheese deserves great company. The shelves around the cheese counter are stocked with the crackers, cold cuts, olives, chutneys, butters and wines that turn a single wedge into a spread worth lingering over.

Cheese, organised the way you think about it

Browsing here is refreshingly logical. Cheeses are sorted by type of milk — cows', sheep's and goats' — by style, from soft and semi-hard to hard, blue and fruit-and-savoury blends, and by country of origin, spanning France, Great Britain and Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. A dedicated vegetarian category makes the shop an easy stop for meat-free tables too.

The most popular cheeses tell you where regulars start. Brie de Meaux AOC is the classic French benchmark, joined by a truffle-studded brie for special occasions. Fresh burrata in 200g portions, an 18-month summer-milk Comté and aged Red Leicesters round out the favourites. A rotating featured shelf surfaces names like Hornbacher, Cravanzina and the July Cheese of the Month, Tomme des Croquants.

British cheese lovers are especially well served. Snowdonia's waxed truckles cover a whole mood board: Truffle Trove with black summer truffle, Red Devil with chilli and pepper, Pickle Power with pickled onion, Ruby Mist with port and brandy, and Bouncing Berry with cranberries. Add Cheddar with Mustard and Ale, Cheddar with Whisky and an Irish porter cheese, and the Britain & Ireland section becomes a destination in itself.

Platters, gifts and reasons to gather

When the occasion calls for more than a wedge, the party platters take over. Let's Meat and Cheese and Let's Get Cheesy are the big centrepieces, while Nice to Meat You and Keep Calm and Eat Cheese are sized for groups of three to five. Selection packs and gift vouchers solve the gifting dilemma, and the cheese boards in the accessories range give everything somewhere handsome to sit.

The shop also runs events, with a calendar on the site — a natural fit for a fromagerie that enjoys talking about cheese as much as selling it.

Beyond the counter

Accompaniments get real shelf space: savoury crackers, biscuits and chips; ready-to-eat cold cuts; pâtés and tinned fish; olives; and honey, jams and chutneys. The fine foods aisle brings in cult butters — Bordier, Sublime Creations and Butter Days — plus oils and condiments like Finca La Barca, Garofalo pasta, and Clipper teas and coffee.

The alcohol section is built with cheese in mind: red, rosé, sparkling and white wines, curated wine bundles, beers and ciders, spirits, mixers and non-alcoholic options, so a pairing can be sorted on the same trip as the cheese.

Ordering is straightforward online, with shipping details under Find Us/Shipping and a newsletter for new products and upcoming sales. Questions? The team takes calls at +65 8887 0638, and if a cheese you're after is temporarily out of stock, a note via the Contact Us page gets you notified when it returns.

Whether you're building a board for a party, hunting a specific French AOC wheel or simply curious what a port-and-brandy cheddar tastes like, The Cheese Shop makes Joo Chiat the easiest place to shop — and think — like a fromager.
