Wedge & Bottle

To be honest, I wish this place had advertised more or done a better job of it. I read about them closing and I was immediately saddened. Why didn’t I know about them before this. It was simply depressing learning that a cheese shop is closing. So I grabbed the wife and zip down there for a sandwich on Friday. It was Delicious. As good as mine.
We enjoyed our meal and I purchased some cheese and chocolate to go.
It’s sad they are closing. The cheese selection was beyond what you would find, even at AJ’s or Whole Foods. And they didn’t have that much left.
If you get a chance to go before they close, please do. Maybe they will stay open so Phoenix can enjoy some wonderful cheese, wine and extras.

Delicious fig and prosciutto grilled cheese with a side of tomato bisque! Mmmm. It’s always mellow here and the service is great. House-​made pickles are tasty! Take home some craft beer or gourmet cheese! Great place to grab a quick but yummy lunch.

This is great little gem. The owners/​staff are super friendly and the food is fantastic. The only problem is that I live far away! If it were closer I would come here all the time.

Incredible. So nice to have a charcuterie and cheese shop of this caliber in Ahwatukee. Had the cheese and charcuterie board and all of it was incredible. The owner recommended a wine to pair and that was excellent as well. Beer selection for purchase is small, but wonderfully rare and diverse. This could compete as my new favorite restaurant. Top notch.

I love love love Wedge & Bottle. I have been coming here since they offered their groupon deal probably around 4−5yrs ago and haven’t looked back. Customer service, pricing and offerings are the BEST in Ahwatukee.

Charming and deliciously cheesy. Well delicious cheese at any rate. Great place very unique with wonderful staff. Great selection of unique items!

This place is awesome. We shared two sandwiches and both were very very good. Great taste and high quality. The house cab, which was only 6 bucks, was awesome. Lots of cool cheeses and spreads to buy but they are a little on the pricey side. Pretty divers menu for a small place. Highly recommend.

Love Wedge & Bottle! I order their grilled cheese & tomato soup all the time and it is amazing! The owners are super kind and the customer service, atmosphere and product quality are all amazing. I love their ice coffee, its not on the menu but it is made to perfection so ask about it next time your in. Hidden gem of Ahwatukee!

Awesome cheese shop! Sandwiches and cheese platter are amazing. They also have bacon that they cut by the slice as well as some other meats. I will definitely be back.

I love this place and we go there at least twice a week. Today we had the best Bacon sandwich ever. Toasted Nobel bread light and crispy with thick slices of gourmet pepper bacon. Warn pimento cheese that drip down as you eat it. Fresh tomatoes and arugula. Trust me you dont want to miss this one but they offer this on Saturdays only for a limited time. If you want to pair this with a glass of wine or a special beer ask the owners they know just what goes best with it.

I adore Wedge and Bottle. I’ll start with the #3 cheese sandwich because I have eaten it a lot. A lot, a lot. Why? Probably because I love horseradish and cheese and together they are magical. If you’re feeling particularly hungry, get it along with the tomato soup for a gourmet comfort food combination. Other reasons to love Wedge and Bottle include, but are not limited to: the ever-​changing selection of quality wines and cheeses and the knowledge of Krista and Troy to help you choose among them; the selection of craft beers and ciders; the grocery where you can get small batch chocolates, quality crackers, spreads, salts, honey and so much more; the wine and cheese of the month club, which I have had the good fortune to take part in 6 months running and have not once been disappointed in; the frequent and affordable wine tastings… I could go on like that for quite a while. There is always something new next to our favorites and we are always welcomed with a smile.
Go here often. You won’t regret it.

I’m going to keep this review short because I have no other cheese shops to compare this one too, but I can’t imagine anything else I’d want.
On Saturdays they have bread from some local bread place that’s great.
On every day, they have just a ton of cheeses and meats and they’re always really willing to let you taste things to figure out what you like or what you need. They’re really knowledgable about wine and cheese and meat and beer, but they don’t act superior or anything, so when I walk in there and have NO IDEA WHAT I’M DOING they are super helpful and everything ends up great and I walk out of there happy.
You can stop in for lunch or dinner or whatever but most of the time I’m just coming in for some bread and cheese and meat, but it’s a good atmosphere either way. It’s nice to enjoy their outdoor seating and look at the people going to yoga or whatever and just have a good time.

What a great find! Thank you Unilocalers!
Very friendly service and a great retail spread of cheeses, wine, craft beers, and all sorts of goodies to add to your cheese plates at home.
We ate in: a grilled cheese, tomato basil soup, and the «3 Cheese Plate.» All was scrumptious! The cheese portions in the cheese plate were larger than I normally see. They let me substitute a wedge on the 3 Cheese Plate because I do not like one that was in this week’s rotation (Humboldt Fog). I’m happy to know they are flexible on this.
We will be back!

My favorite trip with my husband has always been to Sonoma, California and this place reminds of that trip. Wedge & Bottle is a Phoenix cheese shop that’s been open since 2011. It’s obvious the owners know their cheese and they have a unique assortment available on their menu as well as for take-​home purchases. I had the #1 (#1 Asiago, Prosciutto, Fig Jam, and Balsamic Vinegar on Marble Rye Bread $ 8.50) and it was amazing! Service was friendly and quick and I can’t wait to go back and try some wine next time. They host regular events such as wine and cheese tastings so there’s always an excuse to go back! :D

A strip mall in Ahwatukee is home to the Arizonian best cheese shop I’ve ever been to.
— Rennet types are listed & very much appreciated.
— Sammiches are all varieties of cheesy and bready, but consistently quality.
— The selection of cheese truffles will make you forget you’re in a strip mall in Ahwatukee.
It’s pricey, but it’s worth it. Sit outside, get some cheesy morsels, and revel in it.
Can’t get enough? Also bring a metric sh*t ton of goodies home with you, then say to your significant other, «We don’t need no money, baby, we got everything we need right here.» *smile and point to massive assortment of cheeses that just cost you the remnants of your joint bank account*

Although the cheese plates are wonderful… have you tried any of their grilled cheese sandwiches? They are to-​die-​for! My favorite has a fig jam with just the right amount of cheese and lightly grilled… not greasy… on delicious bread!
You can get a small salad or a bag of chips to go with your sandwich, I say why not have both! Pair this with a perfect glass of wine and you have a nice light dinner that is quite filling.
Make sure to check out their website for regular wine tastings and events. I’m super excited for the upcoming Sangria Saturday!

I was literally scared of going in here for a few months after it opened, because I know nothing about cheese and wine. The place is so small that I thought as soon as I walked in, I’d be sniffed out as an amateur and tables full of socialites would begin laughing at me as they stared through their monocles.
Not at all! It is very friendly and unassuming. The staff is laid back and helpful, and they appear to have many great little plates on offer. My wife and I stopped in just for a glass of wine, and it was very nice.
I can’t wait to go back and try some of their meat and cheese offerings – it looks like a great place to have a relaxed and quiet lunch.

Finally, a very good cheese shop in Phoenix. You can find good cheese at Whole Foods or AJs, but it’s always the same cheese week in and week out. Wedge and Bottle’s cheese selection is seasonal and they have a nice rotation going. They do focus more on the American cheeses, so some of my favorite French, Spanish, and Swiss cheeses are impossible to come by, but they’ve found cheeses in the U.S. that have been inspired by great European cheeses (e.g., Vacherin Mont d’Or).
Prices are higher than your cheese shops on the East Coast, which was a bit surprising.

My new favorite place in Chandler. The food is excellent. The items they sell in the store are unique and delicious and the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.
Don’t be fooled by the imported cheese and meat selections at your local supermarkets. Wedge & Bottle truly takes the time to choose the best of the best when it comes to their offerings. They will give you a back story all the way from the name of the farm and owner that their products come from, along with the reasons they decided to carry it.
Icing on the cake? Wine and Cheese Pairing classes. Cider and Cheese Pairing. Monthly Wine Tasting. These aren’t your Bevmo «wine tastings», where they try to sell you the flavor of the week. Everything at Wedge & Bottle represents a true love for the art of fine food and drink.

Stopped by Wedge & Bottle again recently to pick up a sandwich. While there, I noticed some improvements on the things I didn’t like on my first visit. It appeared that they are offering drinking water for their customers (without charging by the bottle) now. Cool. I also observed them pouring some wines by the glass, and their pours are now very reasonable – not the pitiful one I received many months ago (*see old photo). So, it looks like they’ve taken some steps in the right direction.
As far as my sandwich that I ordered recently… it was okay. I mean, the quality was great. And the preparation was perfect. It’s just that the «fancy» cheeses they use are a bit robust for my (likely) unrefined palate. Just wish they also offered some «simpler» sandwich options as well. I’m not talking about bologna with American cheese necessarily, just something with a slightly less pungent backnote in the flavor.
One of the employees recommended some beers to me as well. He was dead-​on with his recommendations too. Very cool. I like trying new beers, and those were some quality ones I bought. I do wish they kept a few in a fridge as well so I could have enjoyed them that night though. It was sort of like bringing a kid to a toy store, buying him a shiny new toy, but making him wait until the next day before he could play with it. Excitement and a bummer all at once.
Regardless, I am a fan of this place. It’s a great concept; and it was really packed during my last visit, so they must be doing something right. I just don’t see a need (yet) for me, personally, to visit more frequently.
