Calf & Kid: New Cheese Store (to be) on Capitol Hill – UPDATE

Via Twitter, I found out that Sheri LaVigne, a Seattle transplant from New York, plans to open a cheese shop here in our very own neighborhood.  You can read about her scoping out various locations.  Though, it sounds like – she just (minutes ago) finalized a spot on 12th Avenue.  Anyone care to guess the location?

Update via Twitter (@calfandkid): merci! space is next to NWFF, housed carburetors for 30 yrs and needs a LOT of love. It’s not a done deal yet but fingers crossed!

I am going to guess the Trace. Perhaps the now closed sales office.

Constantly amazed at Seadevi’s inside take on new restaurant/food options on the hill

It will heighten our cheese awareness through education, wit, and suggested beer and wine pairings!
Yay!

Forget the cheese, where are we going to get our replacement needle valves now? This is a tragedy!

A cheese store here on the Hill would be great. The “cheese girls” at Quality Cheeses in the Market are great, but something even closer would be amazing.
Now, how about a bakery?

Oh man, I so feel you on that bakery. For such a thriving neighborhood I am constantly saddened by our lack of a quality artisan bread supplier. :(

@Wes, Its not the sales office. That will be a bar, opening around June. Could be the Pizza Fusion space or the former carburetor shop?

The Pizza Fusion space seems way too big for a cheese shop. It is I think about 3,500 sq.ft. That is alot of cheese to sell to stay afloat.

i say it is either the old carburator shop next to revival home or one at trace, although the prices there are so high, that i doubt a cheese shop could swing it. and the packard spaces are too large for this kind of store. maybe the old crave space?
