This review is long overdue. Phinney’s is a blessing for Newtown. From their sandwiches (that are *ridiculously* delicious) to Thursday dinners, to their intentional selection of various goods/snacks/prepared foods served in their market… Phinney’s always hits the mark. You can tell right away that they have a high standard in everything they do. Not to mention it’s one of the only places to get some of the typically more challenging items to find such as imported, seed-oil free nut butters and jams, raw milk and actual fresh produce. And lastly, Steve and Gayle are some of the kindest people you will ever meet!

Gayle, Steve and the entire Phinney's team are rock stars. The kindest people, always smiling and the most important part of the review - their food is fantastic! Their Thursday night meals are always the star dinner of the week in my house. Their sandwiches, fresh produce are great for weekend trips to the park, a hike or just because! and their prepared foods are great to have on hand to elevate your home cooking. Phinney's has specialty al a carte or full menus for holidays and every single one has been a show stopper (shallot tart tatine and beef wellington, to name a few). I've recommended Phinney's for private catering and gotten rave reviews. Honestly my only feedback is to open another store closer to New Fairfield/Danbury - asap!

I live out of the local area but have family and friends in the area. For holidays and special occasions a Phinney's gift card is a favorite surprise for everyone.

Best fried chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! No exaggeration. Going back to try the rest of the menu as well as some other local items they carry. And Gayle was beyond kind to us. Happy to support this gem of a store.

Happened upon this lovely little spot while in the area for a rugby match. The happily curated selection of snacks, jams, marinades, other intriguing provisions will make any home cook smile. I didn’t have a chance to try the prepared foods, but I’m willing to bet it’s just as wonderful. Friendly owners! Will be back!

I absolutely love Phinneys and everything they stand for. There is an incredible amount of high quality and unique produce and dry goods to choose from that aren't readily available at most grocery stores. Plus, there are fun sandwiches and other treats on the weekends. I am a carnivore at heart and never thought I'd find myself so excited by so many non-meat options, not driving 25 mins away for them. On top of this, Stephen, Gayle, and team are always such a delight to talk to and quick to offer tips when I am in need of some inspiration for my meal.

I have been trying to decide how to describe this place and it felt like to me if I was in a Winnie the Pooh live action movie I took Christopher Robin as a teenage out for a chicken sandwich. This is where we would go. It is beautiful inside - it's fresh - it's inviting, a great family atmosphere, and a curated grocery with some home good items. They are also curated really well, loved shopping here. I loved eating here even more!!! the chicken sandwich is better than it looks!!! definitely highly recommend and look forward to seeing the friendly and warm couple that run this place again.

There are some many great treats I could mention– the Bo Ssam, the gluten free Rice Pudding, the Weekend Sandwiches, or all their packaged goods. I love that they have something unique every Thursday for dinner.And their branding and illustrations are beautiful as well. Next time I go in, I need to ask who did the work.

Phinney's just catered a party for us, and we couldn't have been happier. The food was absolutely delicious. Generous portions, reasonable prices, farm fresh locally sourced ingredients. What more can you ask for?

I gave my Mom a Phinney's prepared meal as a Mother's Day gift. She had to pick it up herself, but she did not mind at all. She said everyone was friendly and helpful, and the process was easy. Better yet, she LOVED the meal and was very impressed with how well it was prepared. There was a shrimp entree, a salad, and an Eton mess for dessert; each part of the meal was yummy and special. Thank you, Stephen and Gayle!
