The Cheese Place
Dayton, Virginia holds a little shop that surprised me with honey first. The Cheese Place isn't just a cheese shop; in Dayton it's also a hub for raw honey and creamed honey, sold in a simple, no-nonsense lineup. The honey is raw and unfiltered, with creamed honey giving a smooth, spreadable bite that pairs beautifully with breads. Beyond honey, the shelves bulge with jams, spices, dried fruit, nuts, and honest, pantry-friendly snacks; some reviewers even mention a deli counter and homemade pimento cheese. You can bring your own jars for raw honey and refill them here, a practical habit I wish more places copied. Shopping happens in the Dayton Market storefront, with in-store shopping or pickup only. The staff come across as genuinely friendly and helpful, making the experience feel like you’re visiting a well organized neighborhood market. If you’re in Dayton, Virginia, this place is a solid stop for everyday sweets and small-batch staples alike.
