Bon Appetit

I've bought several candles from Val Viola, and they're easily the best I've ever used. As someone who's usually sensitive to scents, I've never had an issue with these. Val uses high-quality ingredients and it really shows (and smells!). I always look forward to seeing what new scents she's released and stocking up for myself and as gifts. My favorite is the Frasier Fir! Val is also super responsive whenever I have questions, which I really appreciate. Wonderful owner and wonderful candles. Couldn't recommend them enough!

I’m really impressed with these candles!! They burn clean and evenly, and the scents are lovely without being overwhelming or artificial. I appreciate that they use soy wax and non-toxic ingredients, it makes a big difference knowing I can enjoy them without worrying about what I’m breathing in. You can tell a lot of care goes into each candle, and supporting a small business like this makes it even better. I’ll definitely be purchasing again and recommending them to others!

From someone who uses alot of candles I've never been more impressed with these candles. The best part is I don't have to worry about any chemicals with these candles. Also love to support local businesses!

Valerie and her team did an absolutely amazing job on the 5 boxes we ordered - each box had a unique collection of cheeses, charcuterie, spreads, nuts, fruit, etc. Each one was gorgeous, generously filled, and delicious. Valerie and her team were wonderful to work with and accommodated all of our requests. I cannot recommend them more highly. Truly spectacular!

Bon Appetit is hands down the best cheese shop in CT. I've been coming here for years, and every visit there are new cheeses to try and unique imported products I can't find anywhere else. They even have fresh bread delivered daily from NYC bakeries like Balthazar and Pain D'Avignon! What makes this place truly special is the staff. They're welcoming, knowledgeable, and always steer me in the right direction, whether I know exactly what I want or need guidance. Every visit is a lovely experience. Their cheese and charcuterie boards are seriously stunning, too. Beautiful, delicious, and consistently impressive. They're absolute show-stoppers at every function I bring them to! Easily my favorite small business in the area. Can't recommend them enough!

What a hidden gem! If you want to be the hit of your party or gathering shop here! Cheese selection is amazing, along with all their snacks, cookies, sweets, and candles. The staff is amazing and goes out of their way to assure your experience is second to none. For the reviews complaining about price, this is a speciality shop, with high end items, if you want cheap feel free to go get your treats at Dollar General or Walmart. But, if you want quality and the opportunity to obtain craft products look no further.

Bon Appetite is an absolute gem. The selection is outstanding, from perfectly aged cheeses to unique items you won’t find at a regular grocery store. What really sets it apart, though, is the staff. They’re incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely eager to help, whether you need a recommendation for a dinner party or guidance on pairing cheese with wine. They take the time to ask questions and make spot-on suggestions without ever feeling pushy. I can’t wait to go back soon!
