It is a great local small business with quite the selection. They have so many beautiful gift ideas for women and men alike, and they have a n excellent selection of "local Connecticut" items as well.

My daughter's campus is 0.5 miles away from the store and because of her classes and meetings, she wasn't able to go back to her dorm to receive the delivery until 5pm. Since the store's driver only works till 5pm, the store arranged for Doordash to do the delivery for my daughter at no additional costs. The beautiful birthday arrangement was a sweet surprise to celebrate my daughter's first birthday away from home! Thank you @Edible Arrangements (Chapel St., New Haven, CT)!!

I ordered chocolate covered apples & bananas in a cup and used my student ID for a 15% discount. It took a while for the treat to be ready as he made it fresh for me. Due to the wait, he tossed in a couple extra. So yummy!!
