An authentic neighborhood cheese shop in the European tradition, Pastoral offers the highest quality artisanal domestic and international cheeses, freshly baked breads and selected wines. You'll also find a number related items such as charcuterie, olives and spreads. There are also locations downtown (53 E. Lake St.) and in the West Loop (131 N. Clinton St.).

Pastoral closed all its locations in December 2019.

My favorite cheese shop in Chicago. The staff are friendly. The selection is absolutely mesmerizing. A little pricy but worth it.
Andrew Osanka
A classic that will be sorely missed.

Placed a catering order with them and 5 hours before the event they cancelled it b/c it was "too big to fulfill" (it was meats, cheeses, and cookies for 15 people).

I've always been a huge fan of Pastoral, either buying for myself or a client. Tonight, I tried their multi-grain baguette and wow! It's so yummy, packed with seeds and always soft inside and crusty outside. Plus they have Gluehwein with it being the holidays and just so happy to pick up a bottle.
