Fromagination Specialty Foods Review

I had a great time tasting their large assortment of cheeses, honey, and tea! The staff was super friendly and helpful in finding cheeses for me. I highly recommend!

Nice boutique store with many Wisconsin themed items. A little too expensive when you purchase similar items elsewhere.

The employees really know how to help. Great suggestions and pairings. We will be back by soon.

I love this place. They let you sample just about anything and the staff is super informed so it makes it easy to make decisions about cheeses you've never heard of or tried before. They are the best.

Awesome cheese, especially the amazing sandwich. 5 stars for the food.

It smells so good-bad in there. Stank cheese in the air and knowledgeable cheese folk behind the counter itching to feed you a sample of their cheeses. Will return next Madison visit. It was a great end to a good trip to a nice city.

Well priced. Fantastic selection. Sandwiches are quick and good. I go every time I'm in Madison.

If you like cheese, you will leave here with a newfound love!

Large variety of cheeses as well as a nice and simple sub option

I had a gentleman who recommended me some of his favorites made in WI. He was outstanding and kind. I couldn't remember his name but I'm going to guess Andre. If that's not his name, he was a tall gentleman. He also recommended the raspberry jam to go with the cheese I picked. When I got home, i couldn't get enough of it. Sadly I ate all the cheese and now I am itching to fly back to this shop to get the cheese I need. Thank you for being awesome! Much appreciation from Dallas!

Nice store, good cheeses. Sandwiches - not so much.

Amazing place for vast cheese selection. Sandwiches are tasty as well. Highly recommend.

Staff was really friendly and helpful. The prices were better than I expected but I was going for the higher end stuff. Fun little shop.

Great place for cheeses, deli meats, local made gifts and eating sandwiches and much more. They also stock Jeni's ice cream as a sweet treat dessert.

Right when i walked in i was greated with hot cide. They were really nice and helpful. Lots of amazing cheeses to choose from.

Everybody is very friendly and helpful when you are trying to find something you like. They also have a wide selection of cured meats and cheeses, and some of the best sandwiches I have had in Madison!

So delighted to come here. Super helpful staff and sampled many of the flavors before buying them. Also suggested how to pair certain meats to the cheese. An array of cheese, plus sausage, honey, wine, sweet treats and unique patters and other types gifts. It's a must visit! I will be back.

Best cheese shop I have ever been in! So worth making the drive to Madison to see what this shop has to offer.

Cheese, cheese, cheese. Plus delicious sandwiches. Tons of imported fancy cheeses and meats. A little on the expensive side.

The atmosphere is terrific with such an amazing variety of cheese supported by so many different accompaniments. They offer soup, sandwiches and a few salad options. Although there is a terrific harvest table located at the back of the shop, it is more of a takeout idea. I enjoyed my sandwich but wont make it a regular option due to the higher price. I'm glad I tried it.

Very nice choice of cheeses. I don't know much about them but the staff seemed educated in the subject and happy to help. Seemed pricy but also worth it for such superior selection and quality.

Very friendly and well put together cheese shop. Great selections of cheeses, as well as fresh sandwiches and other local goodies.

Everything cheese and everything that goes good with it

This was an awesome find in Madison, Wisconsin. We bought a variety of unique cheeses and our server was very accommodating in giving us samples and patient while we made our selections. We also loved the different sausages which are homemade. We took our cheese and sausages back to our hotel and ate them for dinner. Really satisfying. A must stop if you are visiting Madison and want a good taste of dairy and meats of Wisconsin.

Visited yesterday with out of state relatives. We were immediately given hot cider and all the cheese we could sample! Great staff and amazing selection.

Their signature sandwich is probably the best sandwich in town. I have also had a fair share of their cheese and it is delicious as well. But really, I go for the sandwich and the sweet potato chips. Their other sandwiches are good as well, but for me, you just cannot beat the signature sandwich.

A gem store! The staff is perfect! So much knowledge about the cheeses and tons of enthusiasm to share! We were able to taste some cheeses and buy the ones we liked most. You can buy any sizes and it's just the cheese heaven!

I am not a big cheese fan but even I was impressed with this establishment, it's variety, and the helpfulness of the staff

The moment you step into Fromagination your senses come alive. Our food tour guests love this place. The helpful staff take time to explain how the cheeses are made, where the farms are located and how to pair the cheese with other food items and drinks. If you are looking for a special treat to take to a summer party, let Fromagination be your guide.

Incredible selection of cheese and other items. Sandwiches are awesome!

Great store with a variety of cheese, jams, crackers, and gifts. The process are high but so is the quality. I really recommend going here even if you jus want something neat to look at.

Cheese was DELICIOUS. So many local artisan goods for purchase. The staff was very kind and extremely helpful with selecting cheeses and pairing items. Best service I've ever received in a store! Will be back.

This is the place I go to treat myself because cheese is life. Great customer service and great cheese. Did I mention the cheese is amazing? Oh, and I love cheese.

friendly staff knowledgible about the cheese and products they sell. very cute little shop. worth a stop in if visiting the area

Cheeeeese! Walk in and bathe in the aroma. Staff was really knowledgeable and helpful in understanding what we were after. We were able to sample a variety of cheeses to find exactly what we really wanted

Very pleasant staff and good selection with plenty of local products

Amazing and well informed staff. Spent a lot of time explaining the cheeses and letting us sample them. Jeff was a great guide in our cheese journey

Love this place. Their selection of cheese is great and they'll help you pick out something if you're not sure what you want. They're also really taking safety precautions seriously right now.

Rude and overpriced. Great selection but terrible service.

Expensive as hell and with every penny! The dude there was passionate about his cheeses... love this place.

Amazing cheese! Great customer service! A gouda place to shop at right outside of the Capitol building.

The selection of cheese here is amazing. They have many things you can't find elsewhere as well as popular varieties. The staff is very knowledgeable, patient and helpful without being overbearing. They also offer a nice selection of other unique gourmet goods. Their sandwiches are always delicious.

Great shop, love the loud thunder! Always need to stop in before a trip to my hometown in IL.

Absolutely amazing little shop by the capital. Very neat atmosphere. Cheesemongers are very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. We got a selection of cheese and sandwich. Cranberry relish is so amazing. I always take my friends from out of State here for the experience. Everything there is good. It's just the matter of whether you are into the taste.

Delicious sandwiches; helpful, knowledgeable staff; interesting gifts; lots of beer and cheese. Pricey, but the variety, service, and experience are worth it.

Great place to get gifts or supplies for a cheese and wine night.

Great selection of cheeses!!!! Samples available on any one of them, just ask. Staff were friendly and polite. Loved the Goenegreek gouda, Colby, Bellavitano Raspberry, Raclette Rotelli, Pleasant Ridge Reserve and more! Have a food trailer and made some yummy Mac and cheese's upon returning to FL. My customers were delighted with the special blends!!

We were served some amazing cheese as samples that paired well with our picked beers. It was a great experience. Very kind staff.

Overpriced, adequate selection, but knowledgeable and friendly help and great pairing choices. Just hold off for the farmers market

If you are visiting Capitol, must go to this shop.You can find all kind of cheese around in all size e.g cream cheese, cheese spreads, cheese curds, and a lot to smell and taste. Luckily on our visit they were opening up the big Parmesan cheese wheel.

It's the cheese Capital. Very helpful staff and immediate service - even when busy, which is constant.

I've placed several orders to have cheese gift boxes delivered to family back home in Indiana and each time it is a HIT! Everything is packaged with such care and is delivered in a timely manner. I had a question about shipping this week and Ben, one of the employees, was super kind and helpful with helping me track down my order over the phone. My only wish is that shipping to Indiana could be free like some of the other neighboring states, but it is such a nice gift to send I find it 100% worth it!

Over-priced with a noticeably pompous staff, management, ownership.. whatever they were.. pompous would be the accurate description.

Bought a gift basket to be sent to my family on the east coast since they couldn't enjoy WI cheese with me this year. I had a weird shipping issue, but luckily Fromagination had great customer service and was able to resolve it very quickly and got the cheese to my family ASAP. Will definitely be ordering from them again for gifts.

My online transaction with Fromagination was superb. I needed some mini bags of Treat nuts for some teacher gift baskets, and Fromagination was the only store I found who offered them. They arrived in the mail lightning fast (although I do live locally), and they were EXTREMELY well-packaged -- in a special sturdy carton with an ice pack, some pretty tissue paper, a full store menu, and a thank-you note. I called the store to check whether I needed to refrigerate the nuts, and the woman knew exactly what I was talking about and gave me an answer right away. And we received feedback from the teachers that the nuts were delicious. So while their treats are more on the expensive side, Fromagination definitely makes it worth your while! I'll be buying from them again when I need special gifts.

What a great first shopping experience. I found a cheese there I usually was only able to purchase while on vacation in a certain area.
The shipping was super fast, the merchandise packed wonderfully and safe, truly the packaging was so nice it would have been gift giving ready if need be. Pricing is fair and communication stellar. I will be a returning customer to check out their other products. Thank you.

Great sandwiches, fresh bread, reasonably priced. A must-stop for lunch on the Square!

A cheese lovers heaven. A wonderful selection of great artisan cheeses from some of the best cheese makers around. The staff is very friendly, offering up samples of various varieties you may want to try to help with your selection. Their sandwiches are very good as well. I recently came home with four awesome cheeses to sample with family and friends over the new year. Highly recommended to cheese heads and non cheeseheads alike.

They know their cheese and they'll help you find the one you like as well as the beer or wine that matches. Very pleasant experience.

Great selection of cheese. Knowledgeable staff who are happy to answer questions. No trip to Madison is complete without a visit to Fromagination.

Great place to pick up gifts for visiting Wisconsin.

What a fun selection of foods and other items. Great for a gift or a bite to eat. Excellent service!

Excellent cheese selection. Very helpful staff. Eclectic selection of noon cheese products

Good lunch spot for a quick sandwich with good ingredients and a nice outdoor seating area.

Over priced pretentious cheese shop. Just like Madison

Good sandwiches for lunch! A bit overpriced, but quality ingredients. I always end up getting other snacks too!

Nice mix ... But for as many staff as there are no personalized service.

It was not 'snooty' at all...they were friendly right when I popped in for a look at what they had. They had great samples of cheeses wrapped in small packages by the register to choose from instead of buying larger portions; the woman who helped me was sweet and wrapped up a little sandwich sample for me to enjoy for later; terrific selections of local cheeses, salami's, beer, and crafts. Delicious bread that the sandwich was on too. Will be back next time I am in town.

My office catered in from here. The food was amazing, and you can tell they took their time putting everything together as it looks just as appealing as it taste! I will absolutely be recommending this place and coming here myself when i get the chance. The ONLY thing (and this could simply be that I didn't look into it enough online) is i wish i could find the nutrition information.

Undoubtedly the best cheese monger in Madison. Well curated selection of Wisconsin and international cheeses. Also lots of books, crackers, cheese-related utensils. Noticed that they offer a limited wine and liquor selection - the kinds of things that you don't see everywhere. Also well-trained, knowledgable staff.
