Cheese Importers is a Colorado family-owned business founded in 1976. They offer natural, organic,…read moreand imported cheeses, cured meats, specialty oils, spices, olives, chocolate, and other unique specialty foods. They also have wonderful French & Italian food items, and kitchen and dining ware. There are children's gifts, beeswax candles, gift wrap, gorgeous jigsaw puzzles, glassware, French table linens, aprons, and much, much more. It is worth the experience to visit this extraordinary shop! The building was formerly the Power & Communications Building, which Cheese Importers took over in 2012. The shop is gorgeous, and the buyers are fantastic, stocking it with so many beautiful items that you will not easily find in other shops or online. The staff is friendly and informative. The prices are very high, and I don't recommend buying items you can find in your local grocery store or gift shop, but if you find interesting, unique, and beautiful items that you love, then it is worth spending the money, in my opinion. This is a great place to find exceptional gifts, especially for someone who likes to entertain. Must take home a fresh French baguette and some caramels! There is a parking lot in the rear of the building.

What a lovely experience! The only thing I wish they had were tiny samples of different cheeses…read more Some cheeses we would have liked to try before purchasing for $10-$12 a pop. But the market feel, the variety, the customer service, patio, cute atmosphere, selection, and warm baguettes made it quite the experience. We were impressed and I would drive all the way from Littleton to experience it again. We basically built ourselves a little picnic and sat outside on the patio to enjoy it all. Bring your own plates, utensils if you plan on doing what we did. We made do with the plastic knives and napkins from the bakery, but it would have been better if we came more prepared. Lovely.

Kawaii Konbini is amazing! The Onigiri are always fresh, delicious and they never last long, so get…read morethere well before 4p! I would honestly eat there every day if I could! Since every onigiri is made to order, and they can sometimes be a little busy around lunchtime, (because who doesn't love onigiri for lunch!?) you may have to wait for a few minutes, no worries, it will be WELL WORTH IT!! Just plan ahead, and be happy that this will give you plenty of time to browse the incredible and varied stock of Japanese foods, candies, frozen treats and other novel items in Kawaii Konbini. If you don't leave with a bag (or box) full of Hi-Chew, shrimp chips, Peach gummies, Hapi Pudding Cups and some Green Tea Kit Kat with your Onigiri, you are doing it all wrong!! All of this, plus the warm, welcoming, inclusive service, and the oh so cozy space makes Kawaii Konbini a Longmont must visit!!

We heard about this new business a few months ago and finally made it in to check it out. Its…read moretucked into a strip mall at the beginning of your drive into Main St. You walk through some cozy Japanese curtains, into the main shop that is filled with unique snacks, spices, drinks, condiments and some varieties of packaged ramen to shop from. There is a modest assortment of hello kitty themed merchandise, but the real star of this location is the amazing and fresh Onigiri that they offer. They have a really nice selection to choose from and its made fresh to order while you wait. They have a few seats inside if you want to eat there, or you can take it to go and dine in the car, work or home. The portions are generous and the flavors are really lovely. Really great price starting at $6ea too. When I was there, I got an assortment and my husband had a hard time picking his favorite one. I also got some really cool furikake seasonings that we like to put on top of rice and bagels too. The person working there was kind and polite and it was a really overall lovely experience. This is a small business, but if you need to pop in for the delicious onigiri and a few small treats when feeling that craving for sushi or Japanese eats, but don't want to get to a restaurant or need a grab-n-go experience, this place is perfect for you.

FIVE HUNDRED STARS for Simply Bulk! I love this place. Instead of buying 5lb bags of flour when I…read morego through 1lb a year, I fill a mason jar, label it with Sharpie and put it in my redneck country chic pantry with all the other mason jars of sugar, brown sugar, quinoa, gluten free organic oats, MECO cheese crackers, chocolate covered balls, coffee beans, organic olive oil, tamari sauce, and alllllll the spices I get from Simply Bulk. Local eggs, bread, soaps and value add products are always available at the register along with a fun selection of Longmont stickers. You can get almost everything here. I haven't loved the laundry soda (it doesn't work nearly as well as Charlie's) but they have tons of options of cleaning products and body care as well as the food selection. You can replace almost everything you buy at the grocery store with something Simply Bulk sells in bulk. You can also pick up free used buckets and 30-55 gallon drums for home and yard use - think of the rain barrels! Employees have always been super helpful and friendly and the staff has been consistent over time. Bring in empty salsa, condiment, pasta sauce jars (with their lids) to donate here for others to use who may have forgotten or don't have something the right size for what they're buying.

They even provide you with a cooler to keep your products fresh and safe. I highly recommend giving them a try.
