Overview
If you're going to dedicate your life to cheese, you may as well do it in a big way. Since 2014, Sharyn and Sebastiaan de Kort have been showering Brisbane with dairy goodness thanks to their catering and hamper outfit, The Cheese Pleaser. Not content with hopping around the city's markets, doing intermittent pop-ups, and delivering creamy and sharp deliciousness in small doses, however, they're now taking the next step with their own CBD store.
Scheduled to open in June, The Cheese Pleaser will make the jump to permanent bricks and mortar digs, setting up shop in Adelaide Street. A delicatessen, fromagerie and cafe, it'll be dedicated to the good stuff. Think artisanal slices, chunks and blocks that both cheese lovers and cheese newbies won't be able to get enough of — plus coffees paired with their famous gooey, oozing three-cheese toasties, cheese and charcuterie pairings, and a cheese-worshipping seasonal menu.
If their previous catering dishes are anything to go by — confit tomato and whipped fetta bruschetta, and goat's cheese gnocchi are just some of the items resident chef Sebastiaan de Kort has whipped up — then your tastebuds are in for a cheese-tastic time. Brisbane mightn't be lacking in the cheese department lately, thanks to Albion's Emile & Solange, Milton's Fromage [The Cow] and CBD cheese toastie joint Melt Brothers, but every dairy fiend knows there's always room for more.
Find The Cheese Pleaser at Adelaide Street, Brisbane CBD by the end of June. For more information, keep an eye on their website and Facebook page.
