You don't need to go that far out of your way from San Francisco (particularly as the Cheese Board is run by hippies and therefore has amusingly random opening times - twice I've tried to go there only to find it shut.) Cowgirl Creamery in the Ferry Marketplace building, Cheese Plus at Divisadero & Polk, or Say Cheese in Cole Valley all do excellent cheeses; both local artisan varieties, and yes, Neal's Yard imports. No young raw-milk French cheeses though, because the FDA is fucking stupid.There's stuff above here
