Santa Monica, Los Angeles · shop
A Pico Boulevard cheese shop built entirely around American-made products, from the wheels behind the counter to the Lady Crackers that have quietly become a statewide staple. The secret lunch menu runs from 11 to 3 and sells fast—sandwiches like the Yes, Honey and Disco Only disappear early for a reason. Cheese club memberships and weekend board pickups have turned the place into a low-key neighborhood ritual.
