As a niche food establishment, CheeseMé Charcuterie & Coffee will focus on two products: cheese and coffee. Complementary products like specialty meats, jams, bakery items, sodas, teas and waters will also be available for sale. Menu items featuring cheese, such as customized grilled cheese sandwiches and pizzas will be available during lunch and dinner hours, and a rotating “Midnight CheeseMé Special” on weekends.
Our mission at CheeseMé is to curate an exquisite selection of thoughtfully sourced and expertly prepared artisanal cheeses, while also providing educational opportunities on cheeses and pairings. Rooted in celebrating timeless culinary traditions, we strive to create a welcoming space where every visit is an exploration of flavors, a gathering of friends, and an invitation to indulge in life's simple pleasures.
About us
CheeseMé Charcuterie & Coffee is a women and Latina-owned business serving a curated selection of specialty cheeses and coffee. The concept for the shop was conceived in 2023 by Jessica Mueller and Emilie Herrera. Inspired by Mueller’s travels to New Orleans and a visit to a local neighborhood shop that created a space for young professionals and families to gather in a similarly hospitality-driven city, the duo decided to bring that same feeling and experience to Midtown San Antonio.
