About Bloomy

Bloomy is an independent woman-owned specialty cheese shop in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Following a year as Pop-Up in Residence at HudCo, we opened our permanent location in November 2022. The shop features dozens of domestic and imported cut-to-order artisan cheeses, fine charcuterie and pantry items, and handmade gifts from local artists. We regularly host events and workshops for cheese enthusiasts. 

We bring the specialty cheese party to you with private events and catering. From guided cheese tastings to jaw-dropping cheese tablescapes and “cheesetender” services. Anything’s a party when there’s cheese involved! 

Bloomy owner Jessica Galen loved cheese from a young age. While in graduate school for Food Studies at New York University (NYU), she assisted in the cheese caves at the legendary Murray's Cheese and for Cato Corner Farm, a raw milk farmstead cheesemaker. She also served as general manager at Lucy's Whey, then the Upper East Side's largest artisan cheese shop. Through these roles she developed a deep appreciation for the tireless work of farmers, cheesemakers, and affineurs (cheese agers) that continues to inspire her every day. She has dedicated her career to supporting independent farming, most recently as Director of Communications at Stone Barns Center before opening Bloomy.

  • "I love Bloomy — there's nothing better than sampling cheeses to find exactly what I'm in the mood for and prices are comparable or better than the same cheeses at the grocery store. I love their selection of nuts, condiments, etc. as well."
