Good cheese, samplers are really great. Ate them all the way back to Kentucky. Very good and the chocolate cheese is great. I will definitely be calling and have some shipped to me.

Man... where to start! Before I was vegan this was one my favorite places to visit in the world. Yes, I have a cheese addiction ;) I remember coming here for the first time with my cousins while on a vacation to their house in Youngstown. That was probably one of the best days of my life. I couldn't believe the selection of cheeses here and the samples were plentiful. Mmm! This place is so welcoming and the people who work here are so kind and generous. The vibe here is very relaxing and chill. They have so much to offer in regards to healthy Amish foods but their cheese is the superstar here. They have one of my favorite cheeses in the world. Their Swiss is to die for! Listen, I'm not one of those vegans who are like OMG this, OMG that! I respect people and whatever they want to eat is on them. So I am vegetarian sometimes and pescatarian sometimes too. So when I'm vegetarian this place has my heart as does the whole area. Take a visit here and you'll be welcomed to cheese heaven with a block of one of the best cheeses you'll ever have :P

If there was such a thing as cheese heaven this place would be it! They have a huge selection of cheeses to choose from. I've never seen so much cheese in my life. They also have a pretty big selection of spices as well among other things. The building itself is really cute too and it's surrounded by a farm. We tried to go to another cheese place in the area and quickly left after seeing that it was a tourist trap. This place was the exact opposite sooooo much better! The employees were friendly and answered any questions that we had. The prices were more than fair. You can't go wrong with this place!

The best cheese place in Amish Country hands down. Heini's makes so many different cheeses and they are all good. Not only do they make cheese but they have meats, and many pantry staples like popcorn, spices, soups, dips, seasonings, and much more. The canned Tomato soup in a jar is fantastic. Their house made spices are great for any occasion. But did I mention cheese. Oh my do they have the best cheese. Don't be shy. Try some of the smoked verities as well. My favorite is the smoked hot pepper. After you visit those larger more commercial cheese shops in the area go over to Heine's. You won't shop for cheese anyway we else again. I guarantee it.

When visiting in May 2021, we were to sad to see they still had no samples. Fortunately we've tried most of the cheeses on previous visits, so we know it's a great place to buy cheese. If you grab the cheese ends, you can get a great deal just because it doesn't look as pretty. In addition to the cheese and fudge shop, there are a lot of other items for sale in the larger portion of the shop. Oh, and it's not always easy to find a public restroom while visiting Amish country, so be sure to hit it up here.

They used to give samples & show the workers making the cheese - that may have stopped during COVID times because neither was happening when I visited this past September. There's plenty of refrigerated food available for purchase (cheeses, meats, pickled foods) & dry food (candies, chocolates, sauces, pastas) I tried several chocolates & they were wonderful. Definitely a good place to stop for some snacks on a long drive.

If you're in Amish Country, you'd better move your heinie over to Heini's. It's the generosity of Costco samples with the crowds of a Disney attraction. As you'll notice just by pulling into the parking lot. But yes, the line is worth it. When you enter Heini's, you can grab a shopping cart or basket if you're a good person and plan to actually buy something. If you're broke (check) or just shameless (check), then look to your right towards the refrigerated cheese and fudge section and trace the line back to its end. Even if it looks long, it's worth the wait. Because free. And because so much cheese. And cream cheese. And the sweet ending - fudge heaven. My favorites were the smoked cheeses, pineapple cream cheese, and peanut butter fudge. **The best strategy is to take a partner with you and have someone else get apple butter or peanut butter sauce samples on the pretzel sticks in the various aisles while you wait in line. But please play nice and don't cut the line, and also make way for people actually buying products and Amish girls restocking them!** The middle section of Heini's has an assortment of packaged candies, chocolates, and honey that make great seasonal gifts. No samples here, but the bathrooms are located up a ramp near the entrance so I guess it's important. The women's stalls are not the most sanitary as there's a constant flux of tourists, so just try not to sit on that housefly and wash your hands. Maybe bring some hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes too if you're really a germaphobe. The leftmost section has more samples, this time for more dips. And... SAUSAGE. The sausage line hugs the wall closest to the entrance and is not one to miss if you're at all carnivorous! Heini's also offers tours of the factory that you can sign up for at a table in the left section, but as there was no cheesemaking going on when we went, we didn't take advantage of it. I guess a return trip is necessary!
