Came in for a late afternoon pick me up and was pleasantly surprised with the best cheese sandwich (French Mouse). Coffee and Arnold Palmer was very good too. Will be returning on my next trip!

My favorite sandwiches and quality food products in CT; It's a fantastic cheese shop with a wide variety of local food products, drinks, and ingredients. High attention to detail in all aspects, especially the sandwiches and rotating specials, and the quality is apparent in the ingredients' taste - owner of the shop is a heavy believer in organic, responsibly sourced, preservative free ingredients in everything sold.

The food was OK. I was expecting something more like Caseus that used to be in New Haven or a cute french cafe. The sandwiches and salads are better at RJ Julia Bookstore cafe just down the street. The thing that I was most surprised about was how run down it is both inside and out. There is nothing charming or pretty about this place. Disappointed.

This place is SO DELICIOUS!! We all had fantastic sandwiches and then could not resist the cheese platter. This place is truly a treasure.

The grilled cheese sandwiches are so good, and the cheese selection is great! The lady helping us was very knowledgeable, I told her what I liked in different cheeses, and she had really great recommendations.

Sandwiches here are delicious!

The finest cheese shop in the area. They make wonderful, exotic sandwiches. Absolutely delicious foods. They know which cheese is appropriate for each occasion, which wine or crackers go well with each cheese. They sell all sorts of condiments and jams to match their products. It's right across from Stop & Shop in Madison. I think they're closed on Tuesdays but well worth the trip.

A must visit in Madison! We stopped in for the cheese selection and could have spent hours tasting cheese and learning about all the varieties. We definitely left with a great selection. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. We didn’t try a sandwich but they looked

Wonderful service, as always (first time back in 3 years). Food is delightful (albeit pricey), but the quality is great and I completely understand the markup. For how understaffed and busy they were when we came, food came out fairly quickly. Delighted that gluten free bread was an option! We will be back whenever we are in the area.

Had a very disappointing and highly overpriced lunch here, two small salads, over 15 bucks apiece, lacking in substance and flavor, and an iced tea. Small portions, took over 40 minutes for them to assemble minimalistic salads. We were told it was a twenty minute wait, so we figured okay. The place wasn’t busy so honestly confused why took so long to open a plastic tub of salad mix and cut some tomatoes, plop some cheese, and dress it. Grossly overpriced, highway robbery. I know small business is tough but I can’t imagine they get a lot of repeat customers. Maybe the cheese selection is good but the dining experience is poor.

Cheese😊of course! Best Brie cheese 🧀

This was our second visit here. There was plenty of parking. They have a very nice selection of various cheeses. There are also other cheese related items such as meats, chips, crackers, etc. They also have plenty of good tasty sandwiches. We ordered the Mean Mama sandwich to spilt and it was very good. The only issue we had was that the sandwich took 15 minutes to prepare, that seemed like a lot for a to-go sandwich. Other than that, all was very good.
