    -Nextdoor

  • "They founded Smallgoods to help support and promote small producers of American farmstead cheese as well as charcuterie and other gourmet American products. Though they will continue to have a farmer’s market presence, their new brick-and-mortar on La Jolla Boulevard gives the pop-up cheese shop a permanent location where it can expand into a full-fledged cafe."

    Bishop’s Magazine

  • "Recently, the team at smallgoods created a custom sandwich box for my group of 32 guests, and every single guest raved about their lunch. The sandwiches were delicious and the sides included a selection of American farmstead cheese and charcuterie, and a salad of micro greens (grown 40 minutes from the shop). My groups are high level execs visiting SD for business--they're picky--and I'll be calling smallgoods for every gig from now on."

  • "What to Eat in San Diego"

  • "Such a cute shop right in downtown. I feel like a lot of the restaurants either cater to locals or tourists but this one definitely appeals to both. The couple who own it are so friendly and knowledgeable about the cheeses and charcuterie offered."
