VISIT US
Grandpa’s Cheesebarn and Sweeties Chocolates is located right off Interstate 71 midway between Cleveland and Columbus—making it one of the state’s most popular visitor attractions.
You’ll find everything from Ohio cheese and imported cheese, to smoked meats and pickled products, to homemade ice cream and chocolates.
A top-tier cheese house, we offer samples of 100-plus varieties of local cheese, including favorites like Ohio Swiss and Maple Bacon Cheddar, along with flavorful smoked cheese like Gouda and Habanero Cheddar.
Founded in 1978 in Ashland, we make our own cheese spreads, baked goods, chocolates, fudge and ice cream, as well as smoke cheeses, bacon and other meats on-site.
WE ARE OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK
Open seven days a week, the store also has gift shop, deli and café, where you can grab coffee and a breakfast pastry or homemade sandwiches and old-fashioned hot dogs for lunch. A charming courtyard connects the cheese barn to the chocolate shop, offering plenty of places to relax and snap memorable photos next to grandpa’s classic 1950s Chevy truck, whimsical caricatures and seasonal décor.
STAY FOR LUNCH
Freshness is at the heart of everything we do — from rich, creamy cheeses and freshly sliced deli meats to farm-fresh cream and butter.
Stop by our deli & café and treat yourself to Grandpa’s favorites: hearty deli sandwiches, golden grilled cheese, our famous hot dogs, and the irresistible Monte Cristo. Make it a meal with crispy cheese curds or onion rings. Got a sweet tooth? Enjoy hand-dipped ice cream, a creamy milkshake, or a refreshing glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade.
