Dear Carmen,

Your catering was THE BEST YET according to the happy guests.

Many thanks again Carmen. You are such a great community supporter!

Love the new expanded space. 🙂

Just a note of thanks for the fantastic lunch yesterday.  It was delicious and a huge hit with the physician group.  We hope to be able to enjoy more of your food soon.

Kind regards,

I stopped in around 3:00 today and ordered a roast beef and cheese sandwich. I sat in my car and devoured it. So simple and so delicious.  Thanks for always making me feel glad I came in.

Cheers,

Thank you for that amazing 210 hours platter!  EVERYONE at Fort Street was talking about it and enjoyed it!
I was certainly a hit at work on Saturday and it was all due to you!

Cheers,

Hi Carmen and crew,

I wanted to thank you for the tickets to the tasting. We enjoyed it so much! We would be happy to buy tickets to future events, so please put us on the mailing list, if there is one. The food and drinks were all delicious and abundant! I liked so many things that I don’t even have a favourite.

Dear Carmen,

On behalf of Victoria Golf Club, I would like to extend my sincere thanks for your recent support of Victoria Women’s Transition House.

Your generous donation contributed to $8,000 raised by the Art, Silent and Live Auctions.  Overall, Summer Soiree resulted in a $15,000 contribution to Victoria Women’s Transition House.

We are truly grateful for the gift certificate from Charelli’s and for your helping people in need in our community.

Yours sincerely,

Hi Carmen,

Of course, we love sharing your delicious cheese with our clients and do hope that some of them find their way to you…

Kind regards,

Thank you so much.  The trays were stunning & delicious!  No wonder Jamie recommends you so highly!  Have a great day!

Thank you for taking the time to create the list.

Kindest Regards,

Dear Carmen,

I was really impressed with the catering you provided for opening night and I’m sorry you could not be with us for the show. (If there is only one show you see this year, this would be a great one to see!)Thanks again for your contribution to the wonderful opening of Onegin!

Thank you SO much for the lunch yesterday. Everyone loved it and I think you’ll definitely be getting more customers from our branch because I’ve had at least 5 people asking me for your address and how early they need to place orders for Christmas.

Thanks again!! =)

To the staff of Charelli’s Cheese Shop and Delicatessen,

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for putting together such a lovely selection for my grandfather’s birthday present. He received the parcel, everything was intact and in great shape. He was very appreciative of the wonderful selection of products! It was a very special gift. Thank you for your time and attention putting it together and sending it!

I look forward to ordering through you again, and perhaps even one day visiting myself.

Carmen and staff,

Thank you for the awesome grilled cheese sandwiches and soup!  So good!

Thanks again,

Congratulations Carmen and Nicole on making your teeny tiny deli into a wonderful success in the village.

Your store is one of the best. Victoria is a better place for it. Food, service and a fantastic neighbourhood location is much appreciated. Your kindness and generosity is as well. Thanks!

Your cheese and charcuterie platters are simply spectacular; in fact, we now have guests who attend the event, hopeful your catering will be there!

Sincere thanks for your generous contribution towards our fundraising raffle last fall. It was a huge success, exceeding our expectations. Without your support this would not have been possible.

The executive lunch you prepared for us today was a huge success. I didn’t even need to set up as you had done such a wonderful job with presentation. Many thanks.

Thank you so much for your support at the Pee Wee Christmas Classic hockey tournament. We are so grateful.

Have just enjoyed the best picnic I have had outside France. What a treat – each one at the peak of perfection. Thank you so much, two cheeses I have not tasted before. The Tomme de Savoie took me back to my summer in a French restaurant kitchen – there’s a story there which I will try to remember to tell you when I return the (empty) platter.

Carmen,

Once again your generosity & thoughtfulness is so very much appreciated. Thank you for the gorgeous cheese & your ever positive presence in this city.

Carmen,

Your contribution to Summit at the Pier made the lives of many a lot more colourful.
As always, your generosity is so appreciated and the platters were a HUGE hit!
You are a gem.

With gratitude,

Hi Carmen,

I want to sincerely thank you for the beautiful cheese. It was so very generous of you and it really touched me. You are one of those people that go about their lives in a seemingly quiet way dropping bits of kindness & generosity in your wake. Thank you for that.

See you soon,

Dear Carmen & Staff,

Thanks so much for being the perfect neighbourhood shop around the corner! Walking past your beautiful windows and stepping into the shop with its rich aromas makes us feel, for a moment, that we live in a small European village! Thanks for knowing what cheese we like! We pray you all have a wonderful Christmas Season.

Love,

Dearest Charelli’s staff,

Hello Ladies,

Just a quick note to let you know my son was thrilled with his first month of cheese selections and is counting the days until his next delivery. I love that this gift supports a local business, creates minimal waste, and cultivates a curiosity about different parts of the world. We can’t wait to see what surprises you have in store for us in the next few months!

Sincerely,

To Carmen & Charelli’s team,

Thank you again for all you do for the Belfry! You are amazing!

Wow Carmen!!! When I came in and suggested that people donate money, I was thinking that you might have a little basket on the counter for change or something. I’m absolutely flabbergasted!!! You are amazing and I can’t believe you’ve done this. What a great person you are!!!

Thank you again for Charelli’s being such a generous and supportive business Carmen!!

All the best,

Hey Carmen,
