Messy and Picky

My friend Tenaya over at Madame Fromage, your one stop shop for all delicious things cheesy, has been doing these cheese tastings over at Quince Fine Foods that got me curious about the shop itself. I had passed by the shop several times, but it was usually closed as I was around there at odd hours. But I finally got a chance to stop in while running errands one Saturday afternoon last month.

It's a cozy spot on Girard where you can warm up and grab a bite to eat or a treat to take home.

They have hot and cold drinks and small batch items ranging from cured meats to baked goods and cheese. Stop in for lunch to try out one of their sandwiches on whole wheat or baguettes or a salad.

This classy joint even has cubed sugar for your hot beverage of choice.

Everything about this spot screams cute. They have lots of local fare too. Goods from my favorite blogger and baker Foodaphilia and treats from Metropolitan Bakery are what I can remember from my quick stop into Quince.

I left the store with a little bag of dark chocolate covered cherries which I happily munched on while riding the El back to Center City. Quince is definitely worth a browse when you're up in Northern Liberties and one day, I'm gonna make it out for a cheese tasting with Mme Fromage herself as my cheesy guide!
