Cheese Shop Delhi Ontario, Cheesetique, The Second Mouse

Opened in 2014, The Second Mouse Cheesetique has a name with a story as rich as our cheeses. One morning, as I woke my son up for school with the classic phrase, “The early bird gets the worm” (something my own mom had told me for years), he groggily replied, “Yes, but the second mouse gets the cheese!”

It took me a moment to get it, but when I did, the laughter was unstoppable. Years later, when I set out on my cheese-filled adventure, I knew there was no better name for my dream shop. After all, patience is a virtue—but good cheese is a reward worth waiting for!

  • Great varieties and helpful staff.

  • Massive selection of cheeses you’ve never heard of. I think she said over 100 in stock? Service is fantastic. Always a nice conversation and recommendation of what to try. Prices are very good too! Love coming in and getting 3-4 to try.
