Houston Dairymaids

We're an 19-year-old cheese shop in the Houston Heights. We have over 150 cheeses. Each week in our shop we select 5 cheeses to sample in a brief free guided tasting. We sample all day, every day we are open. Our goal is to find artisan cheesemakers, learn about their craft and bring the best of their products to you. We freshly cut cheese to your specifications and wrap in cheese paper. To accompany the cheeses, we also feature wine, crackers, nuts, local honey, jam and charcuterie.

Store size varies enormously, from a small corner grocery with a few aisles to a full supermarket chain location in Houston with a bakery, seafood counter and food court under one roof. Sales and promotions are often posted in-store or in a weekly flyer rather than online, so prices listed on a website may be out of date. Seafood markets sell live and on-ice product and can usually clean or prepare fish on request for a small fee. Specialty food stores in Texas may focus narrowly on one category, like a butcher, a rice and dry goods shop, or an import store, so calling ahead to confirm stock for a specific item saves a wasted trip.
