I am wondering if anyone has been and what it's like. It sound like they carry some good breads, and I am excited about that since it is difficult to find good bread locally.

Finally something opens that is not a disappointment. (i.e. a profusion of Asian Fusion places) Thu Nov 12 11:36:22 -0800 2009 5172081 10243 jcmods 2 5178616 You've got that right! Fri Nov 13 08:29:03 -0800 2009 5176205 34558 roxlet 1 5198980 Dobbs and Bishop Fine Cheeses on Pondfield Road in Bronxville opened 2 weeks ago and it is a must visit! Great selection of cheeses from around the world and excellent bread selection from Bathazar. The also carry some other gourmet items like crackers, fig spread etc. and have great pies for the holidays - also from Balthazar. Really nice people too!

The selection seems to be very poor overall in most Westchester wines stores. What they do have is probably decent, but since I don't generally want to spend $30-$50 on a bottle, I have trouble finding the "everyday" sort of wine. Mon Nov 23 12:07:25 -0800 2009 5202765 10243 jcmods 1 5292833 As a Bronxville resident, I welcome Dobbs and Bishop to Bronxville..it is definitely a nice addition to the village. The young staff is very knowledgable and offers tastes of cheeses. The cheese selection was quite extensive and they carry a small selection of other fine foods. Prices were generally high however..one cheese I purchased was close to $30 a pound. I only brought home a small slice and would have purchased more if the price was a bit more reasonable. I recommend all cheese enthusiasts visit this shop..I hope they survive in this economy.

My husband had visited prior to Christmas and had gotten a fantastic roquefort and a Stilton, which we haven't eaten yet. IToday I got a Petit Robert and a goat cheese. My son and I had both for lunch along with the remains of the roquefort, the ficelle and an apple. What a great lunch and what impeccably ripened cheeses! Everything I tasted at the store seemed to be in a perfect state of ripeness. This is a great addition to the neighborhood and I will hold my breath that they survive. In their favor is the fact that it is a small shop and that they haven't gone overboard in stocking it. Also, it is in easy walking distance to the main parking lot near the Food Emporium. Parking is always an issue in Bronxville, so this may help matters for the store. I hope moron66 is wrong and we see this store hang around for the long term.
