I tried them during planted expo and their cheese is insanely good
Read moreI wish we’d have something like this back in Germany! It’s creamy, it’s rich and it’s flavourful
So many options and so addictive
They put all their love for plant-based food into creating this.

AMAZING Vegan Cheese - Edit
Had the good fortune to have 3 (!) cheeses gifted to me recently in a birthday hamper from my family and they were so, so good. Easily the best one was the pink peppercorns one. So flavourful and cute packaging too.

Vegan cheeses, fermented and aged - Edit
Good selection of vegan cheeses, made from cashews, coconut or almonds, and cultured just like dairy cheese - “microbial fermentation and aging.” My first visit, I bought two cheeses: Shore (cashews, caraway seed, pink peppercorn) and Extra Aged Le Bleuet (coconut milk, blueberries, ginger). Both nice. They sell a few other plant-based food products too.
Read moreThey’ve added a third opening day, so now it’s Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 11 am - 5 pm.
I learned that shipments are made to Victoria BC, to The Market Garden in Vic West and to (some) Save-On-Foods locations.

Industry Standard - Edit
I love blue heron, I've been getting cheeses since they opened.
Read moreSome must haves:
- Herbed Cumulus
- The red spicy one (god I forget what it's called!)
And any other ones they come up with! I've heard the opened a bigger place too, which makes me feel weirdly proud.
Pros: Vegan!, Price is right for fancy cheese

fantastic - Edit
Their cheese is so good. I hesitate to write this review because they have limited stock and I selfishly want fewer people to go so I can have my fill. But alas, everybody should go buy their cheese.
Read moreShould sell baguette! I also think it would be nice if they sold ‘simpler’ cheeses without anything in them or any strange rind. Like the cultured nut in Victoria.
Pros: best cheese I’ve had
Cons: often low stock, nowhere to sit (as of this writin, no non-soft simple cheeses

Lineups for a reason - Edit
These guys know how to put that cheezy umami goodness back into a vegan diet. Omg, we spend so much money here. Get there early to beat the line the couple days a week they are open; they have limited amounts and they go fast for a reason!
Read morePros: Lots of different flavours and textures , Knowledgeable staff
Cons: Super tiny cramped space , Limited quantities so get up early!

pleased - Edit
Only open weekends until they sell out but we tried about 5 cheeses. The 2, coconut based ones, are amazing. Especially the cormorant! Another 2 were pretty good. 1 tasted a little to liquid smoke but is still alright. We will definitely be buying more of their cheeses. Not only were they pretty tasty but some of them are also extremely beautiful to look at. Hope they do well and can have more hours.
Read morePros: great variety , beautifully made and packaged
Cons: only open weekends
