Labne or Kefir Yogurt cheese

Actually, "Labne" I believe is Labneh - Lebanese cream cheese. I'd try Tiger Bakery.

Kefir, as a beverage (milk substitute), is widely available in the area but I don't ever recall seeing Kefir cheese.

Maybe Claudia's Health Foods on Secor?

Tks Foodie - I called Tiger and they have it.

Now for the dangerous part... going in there and getting JUST what I need and not a ton of other stuff!!

That's always the risk!

Also Middle East Market on Dorr St. near Reynolds.

labne is strained yogurt, put a bunch of yogurt in a cheese cloth and drain off the liquid, add some salt and you have labne, labneh... or however you want to spell it, it's translated out of arabic so it's spelled many ways in english. Kefir is kind of like yogurt except with a different bacteria culture that looks like a weird sponge. it's usually made with milk but i've made some with coconut milk.

Toledo Market on Dorr Street.

I second Middle East Market. Great customer service, reasonable prices, and their kitchen is out of this world!
