Ordered a gift package - Edit
Ordered this cheese as a gift for a friend and she was so sweet and shared it! It came shipped in an insulated box with two ice packs and was still very cold when it arrived. The cheese was just delicious and it seemed like we all had different favorites! Top quality would totally buy again! It is also sold in a local natural food co-op near me in CA!

Fun spot for a foody. - Edit
I visited the Rebel Cheese shop in Austin while there on business. The staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered the Save A Chicken, Ride A Pimento sandwich and carrot cake slice to go. The sandwich was delicious. The chicken was just a faux meat patty, but the pimento cheese was amazing. It definitely set this sandwich apart from others I have tried during my travels. It came with a side. I chose the pasta salad. The portion of the side was small, but after the monster sandwich, I didn't need a side. However, the pasta salad was also very well done. I also ordered a couple of cheeses to bring home with me and they were kind enough to give me an ice freezer pack to help keep the cheese cold during my flight home. When I got back to my hotel, I realized they had forgotten my carrot cake slice. I was disappointed, but had already determined after tasting the sandwich that I was going back the next day. When I returned the next day, they were kind enough to give me a piece of carrot cake for free. This trip I ordered the Gentle Reuben. This was also a fantastic sandwich. I got the potato salad side this time and it was equally well made. Great Job Rebel Cheese! Keep up the good work!

One star service - Edit
I heard about Rebel Cheese and was anticipating visiting their location in Austin. There were 5 of us and we had a bottle of wine and two charcuterie plates. Before we could order more food, (at 7:35), we were told they were closing at 8pm, that they were short staffed and basically they kicked us out. We could get food to go but we couldn’t sit outside on their patio.
Read moreI was planning to purchase cheese and sign up for the mail order since I live in Arizona but since they were so inhospitable we were forced to leave. Its too bad. I hope the owner can get some better employees. The food was great in spite of poor service from the employee with a bad attitude
Pros: A couple of the cheese , No opportunity to purchase anything else
Cons: Unpleasant employee with a bad attitude

Lives up to the hype! - Edit
I had high expectations, based on recommendations (from non-vegans), and from trying some of their cheeses at home, and they met them!
Read moreThey had a lot of sandwiches that I wanted to try, and the ones we ordered were excellent!
I really appreciate that they sell vegan cheese from other vendors in their cheese case (in addition to their own wide selection). Lots of vegan food products to buy as well (jerky, honey, chips, hot sauce, chocolate).

Absolutely incredible vegan cheese - Edit
It's important to know that I am usually NOT a fan of vegan cheese. But I got a sampler of Rebel cheese from a friend and it was surprisingly incredible. The flavors were amazing and the textures were spot on! Since then, I've tried one of their specialty boxes for new years. It's a little pricey so not something I'll get all the time, but is a wonderful occasional treat. I love that they ship nationwide, but I really want to visit in person in Austin TX!

Excellent on so many levels - Edit
Creative, surprising, elevated fare offered by an enthusiastic, attentive, generous staff--Rebel shines in so many ways. We were thrilled and inspired by our visit, and it gave us just one more reason to cheer Austin's spaciousness and her progressive, diverse, cooperative communities--Well done, Rebel!

Just WOW! Absolutely amazing. - Edit
These are some of the best sandwiches you will EVER have in your life. Vegan or not. Top notch all the way. Try all of them but I highly recommend the Great Grinder, Bacon, Brie, Me and the Not Quite Cobb Salad. Deserts are amazing as well. Get some organic wine and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere. And the brunch! Uhhhh!!!

💚 All vegan 💚 I do not regularly eat imitation cheese so this was truly a special delight. We ordered the cheese board and the Tomato herb, Cheddar, and Brie cheese stood out. I also ordered the Capres salad and really enjoyed. Everything was phenomenal! I loved the outdoor atmosphere!

Stupidly Good - Edit
I got the cheese board at happy hour. They gave me the Brie and Cheddar cheeses with the red pepper jelly. This was the kind of meal you have to all but physically restrain yourself from inhaling because it’s that good. Slow down and savor those flavors! Staff was super lovely, so many snacks and wines to choose from. Can’t begin to praise this place enough

I got a charcuterie board and bacon turkey club to go. We started eating the charcuterie as a snack to hold us over until dinner. I couldn't stop eating and spoiled my dinner. I can't wait to tuck into my sandwich.
