Cheese & Crack Snack Shop

I like this place. Think cheese, sandwiches and a salad or two. Three picnic style tables along the street. Plenty of space, mostly shaded. Happy hour: Mon – Fri 4pm – 6pm gives you a discount on a few good items with purchase of a beverage.

Tucked away in a sketchy little alleyway off of Hawthorne Blvd, Cheese & Crack started humbly as a neighborhood cheese stand on wheels. On weekends, owner William Steuernagel packed up little boxes of cheeses, cured meats, olives, pickles, jams, and handmade crackers. Crackers were baked in a tiny oven aboard the cart and a tacky yellow tarp canopy covered the heads of brave patrons.
