About The Cheese Store of Cedarhurst

Welcome, from the Cheese Store family! The store was opened in 1977 by Lou Rakita who sold mostly cheese and nuts. As time passed, The Cheese Store became the "go-to" destination for the latest in food trends. We were the first to feature the Pritikin line of foods, Oat Bran Bagels, Fat-Free Cheeses, and innumerable specialty dietary products. After we began selling naturally flavored varieties of iced coffee, our popularity exploded, making the hundreds of iced coffee flavors our most popular item to date.

Our friendly staff is always ready to help with whatever you need. So come stop by the Cheese Store, where you will always be a part of the family!

Our Business

Established in 1977, The Cheese Store of Cedarhurst has been providing the 5 Towns with personal service for more than 34 years. We have introduced the most up to date food trends long before they reach the mass market.

Conceived of, and started by, Louis and Pearl Rakita, they took a huge risk when they both quit their secure jobs and opened what proved to be a 5 Towns legend. Their son, Mitch, is now the face of the store, and you can often find his wife, Barbara, and son in law Ed, working behind the counter.

We make every effort to service each customer's personal needs and preferences. We hope to be able to assist you.

Holidays, Holidays, Holidays. So much rushing around. Take it easy on yourself, and let us do the work. Your business contacts will always appreciate the gift of food. Just submit your list, the items you want to send, and we will do the rest. Call now!!!
