The Boulevard Market

Update: Boulevard Market has recently added a small menu of sandwiches. Before, the owners would always make a sandwich if you asked, but now there are four «standards» that you can choose from, and they’re all incredible.

It has been a while since I’ve given a 5 star review in Tecumseh but I believe this place really deserves it. They were friendly and welcoming. I felt like they cared about sending me out the door with delicious treats and food. The chocolate is unique and so are some of their cheeses. Be sure to ask then if you have any questions because they were more than happy to talk with us. We got the sampler cheese pack. My favorite was the pimento and then the mozzarella. I love that they make some of it. You can ask for samples if you are unsure what you want. I’m so happy to see a place like this in Tecumseh!

I really liked this place. Between the wine, cheese, imported balsamic and smoked and cured meats it had a really cool European feel.
They also have a great chocolate, coffee and tea selection. I picked up a bag of a great key west loose leaf tea blend. As you shop you can also order one of their awesome sandwiches. I tried the St Germain with prosciutto, Brie, lettuce and balsamic.
The place is really an awesome find that I didn’t expect to run across in Tecumseh.

Amazing! Great, friendly service from the business owners and caring staff. Their brand of handcrafted cheeses and chocolates are delicious. The products are not cheap but they are very high quality and fairly priced.

Wow! We happened upon this place by accident and it is wonderful. They make their own goat cheese. You really can taste the freshness of the cheese. We also bought Cantal which brought back memories of evenings in the southwest of France, watching my kids devour the Cantal my mother in law bought. They are now venturing into chocolate making with beans imported from South America The bread was crusty, fresh and a perfect foil to the cheeses. We didn’t purchase any wine but spent a lot of time talking with the owners who are knowledgeable and pleasant. Well worth the detour. If you go to Tecumseh (pronounced Tecumsee) stop in at Pentamere Winery across the street. Totally changed our minds about sweet fruity Michigan wines. Free tastings and we walked out with a nice merlot and a lovely white.

We were initially impressed with this market enough to place a large order of 55 mini-​loaves of bread to be part of a Christmas basket for friends. We thought it would be a nice gift when combined with imported jams which we bought for that purpose. We ordered the bread over a month in advance and were told everything would be wonderful. Then, less than 3 days before the order was to be picked up, they said their supplier couldn’t provide enough dough. Obviously they didn’t plan ahead. When we asked about alternative solutions, Erika, one of the owners, literally YELLED at my wife for several minutes over the phone and then Erika cancelled the order. How rude! We won’t be back.

We always make it a point to drive from Ann Arbor to Tecumseh to sample the cheeses at Boulevard Market. We usually leave the store laden with packages and the lingering flavor of gourmet cheese on our palates.
The cheese here isn’t cheap and it shouldn’t be; we’re talking the good stuff. They offer both local and imported cheeses, all of the highest quality. Not sure what to buy? Not a problem — the knowledgeable staff will gladly walk you through your adventure and offer you plenty of tastes along the way.
This is where I found the most astounding aged gouda, crystalline and tasting of butterscotch. It was perfection.
While the cheeses are the gems in the crown of Boulevard Market, they also offer a very nice selection of wines, beers, and gourmet food products. This is truly a foodie destination and you’ll do yourself a favor by going there as frequently as you’re able — good cheese goes fast!
