Best Cheese Shop: Houston Dairymaids

There are places that sell cheese and then there is Houston Dairy Maids, a shop completely dedicated to all things cheesy. Inside the quaint little storefront on the northeast end of the Houston Heights are a boatload of varieties from hard to soft, robust to light, stinky to creamy delicious. And the staff is filled with expertise on every type of cheese including the numerous brands from the state of Texas. Their weekly tastings will open your palette to things you didn't know you liked and if you need to round out your board for that night, they have crackers, snacks and even a carefully curated selection of wines for pairing.

You can help by participating in our "I Support" program, allowing us to keep offering readers access to our incisive coverage of local news, food and culture with no paywalls.
The Houston Press is a nationally award-winning, 34-year-old publication ruled by endless curiosity, a certain amount of irreverence, the desire to get to the truth and to point out the absurd as well as the glorious.
