I consider myself a cheese lover. Great selection of flavors. A grilled cheese never tasted better. More

There's not much sitting room, but at the very least, watch them make the famous cheese through the large shop windows (it's mesmerizing), and pick up a grilled cheese sandwich and their famous mac and cheese. The cheese has such a distinct flavor, you will know a Beecher's sandwich anywhere. Ooey, gooey, messy, and worth it. More

The cheese tastes wonderful - but it's even more fun to watch them make the cheese. There are glass windows around the entire production area so that you can see several stages of the cheese making. A lot of fun to go here! More

I had not heard of Beecher's cheese either prior to visiting the Pike Market. Now, anytime I am in town and have time I will go! We cannot get their cheese where I live. Darn it! I am in love with their Flagship cheese! And as the other reviewers have mentioned, their mac and cheese is to die for !!!... More

Every time that I'm in Seattle, we always have to stop for some of Beecher's famous mac n cheese; it is seriously to die for! This time, we came on a weekday and were able to get in and out very swiftly. If you go on a weekend, though, be warned that the line is usually out the door and... More

We had never heard of Beecher's. We walked in front of it while at Pike's Market and stopped in for the free samples of cheese - delicious! Later, during our stay, we bought a sandwich, soup and their famous mac and cheese for a picnic lunch in the nearby park that overlooks the water. Great experience! The food was wonderful,... More

My wife and I were excited to try their Gluten-free Mac and Cheese and walked several blocks from our hotel to have some. Apparently they only sell you the regular Mac and Cheese ready to eat. If you want the Gluten-free you're welcome to take a frozen brick of it with you. And then you what? Heat it up in... More

We didn’t eat their “world’s best mac and cheese”. We did take cheese back to The Maple (a Seattle pick for vacation rentals) and home (to Spokane). It’s all outstanding. More

There's good, There's great. And then there's Beechers. Sometimes the only meal that works is a good piece of fruit, a good glass of wine and whatever Beechers spreadable cheese I have. More
