About us

Our story

Eastern District is a neighborhood cheese shop in Brooklyn. We opened in Greenpoint in 2010 and added our Park Slope shop in 2022. Ever since, we've been cutting cheese to order, filling our shelves with good things from local makers, and helping our neighbors find something delicious.

A Brooklyn cheese shop

Cut to order, with a taste first

Walk up to our counter and you'll find cheeses from small farms and creameries in Vermont, Wisconsin, California and across Europe, cut fresh for you. Not sure what you like? Ask for a taste. Our cheesemongers love helping you find a new favorite.

Next to the cheese, we stock charcuterie, bread and pantry goods, with a soft spot for products made right here in Brooklyn. We believe supporting local makers is part of being a good neighbor.

What we do

More than a cheese counter

The cheese counter

Soft, semi-hard, hard and blue, from American farmstead favorites to European classics. Pick up in the shop or have firm cheeses shipped.

Made in Brooklyn

Local pantry goods, plus sandwiches on She Wolf bread, made fresh for pickup or delivered through Grubhub, DoorDash and Uber Eats.

Boards and gifts

Cheese boards, platters and grazing boxes for parties of every size, and gift boxes packed by our cheesemongers.

"We're driven by our community. Our priority is always the local product made in Brooklyn, and we're proud to share it in our small shops."

FROM GOOGLE REVIEW

Mary Geschwindt "I had a large catering order (about 20-30 people) for 3 Saturday's in a row. Eastern District made the process of arranging this catering so easy and left me with nothing to worry about! Their owner was super accommodating and willing to work with some specific requests we had about packaging the order (not to mention working with allergies, but we happened to have none). We ordered an assortment of their sandwiches and everyone found them delicious. I personally tried all of their vegetarian sandwich options and each was so tasty! I will definitely stop by here again when I'm next in the neighborhood.''
