The Cupboard

The Cupboard is a little slice of heaven. They have EVERYTHING that you could ever want for your kitchen. I can always go in and find something for myself or a friend. This store makes gift giving easy. What is even more impressive is that for being a boutique kitchen store their prices are very reasonable.

ALWAYS can find what I’m looking for here. Well priced, always diverse products, very friendly helpful staff.

One of the must-​visit shops in Old Town. They are expensive, yes, but that’s because they sell quality products.

The cupboard is a wonderful place to visit. High end cutlery, beautiful tableware, gourmet chocolates and various international consumables are just a few of the cool items found within. Parking is decent, the selection outstanding and the staff helpful and friendly. This place is worth a visit.

I absolutely love this place! I’ve never really been anywhere quite like it. They have everything from specialty imported food, kitchen gadgets, to linens or truffles. It is so full of great stuff that sometimes I walk in and feel like I don’t know where to start. Being a bargain hunter helped me focus on the clearance section. This store has a fantastic clearance section! I found things that I had actually been searching for months to find a good price. Don’t get me wrong, I checked out the rest of the store and bought myself some gadgets at full price. But, to just go shopping in this place is a bit pricey. Overall though, if you’re hunting for an obscure gadget or imported food, go here now.

Very impressive independent kitchen store! From tableware to baking supplies, this place has it all. The buyers are clearly savvy because the store is stocked with high quality products, including a wide range of specialty food items from condiments to hard-​to-​find British foods. The extensive selection of coffees and teas are reason alone to visit. The staff is knowledgable and they keep the wide range of merchandise beautifully displayed for easy shopping. Whether you want a quick specialty candy fix or need a wonderful wedding gift, The Cupboard is a great place.

I wish the Cupboard wasn’t so expensive! I love the things they have here!
This is a great upscale kitchen store, especially if you are needing something of a higher quality than Bed, Bath, and Beyond or Walmart. I got a waffle iron from here once, and it’s still in great condition and makes awesome Belgium waffles. They also have some goods and ingredients. I usually buy my Chai Tea mix here. I’m sure the other things are great as well, I just don’t find a need for them.
They have things on clearance in the back right corner. I recommend browsing through there. You may find something that you need at a good deal.
The spacing is a little cramped, so be careful not to knock down expensive things!

The store itself has charm and very nice (albeit EXTREMELY marked-​up) merchandise. You can get a lot of the same stuff at World Market for a lot less $$.
That is not the problem, however. The problem is the snot-​nosed staff who act like they are better than everyone just because they know how to operate a coffee machine.
Also heard that they bully their employees. Will not be returning here.

A great store with a mix of fairly nice kitchen gear and associated goods. I like stopping in here when I need something specific for the kitchen, and also when I need to pick up a gift for someone.
It gets a little crammed in there sometimes with the very narrow space in the aisles though, so I can’t be there long before getting frustrated.

This is a real jem. The selection of kitchen things is gigantic and high quality.
The service we a little week. I did not feel welcomed.
While I was at the register the person helping me gave me minimal attention, which I found a little rude.

Incredible customer service. Love to hang out there and browse and choose select items. Inspiring me to be a better home chef.

I loved their selection of O’Dell’s glasses and wish I had bought a New Belgium as well. Oh well, next visit.

Nice store, Nice staff, Nice selection! The only place I can get my Mustard fix!

This is a very cute home store in Old Town. I didn’t find what I was looking for (a percolator that wasn’t a Cuisinart), but I definitely want to go again to explore their vast array of table linens, fine food, cookbooks, etc.

This is a great kitchen store. Being from out of town, this is one place that I am sure to always visit when I am in FOCO, and I always find something that I love here, since they stock a great range of kitchen goods, from local foods to high-​end equipment (including Kitchen Aide and various espresso makers). Yes, there is a lot going on, but that is the charm of it… seeing tons of products collected in one place. You are almost guaranteed to find what you are seeking, and (if I am typical) things that you did not know you «need,» in this kitchen paradise.
As others have mentioned, it is a little pricy, but you can always visit the sales corner, which is a great place to pick up the kitchen gadget you did not even know you needed, at a reduced price.
The staff is always helpful, ensuring that I can find what I am looking for, and in my case, when I note that I am just browsing, they are not hovering (which is a big pet peeve).
They also gift wrap and have a large candy display… can you ask for more?

Pros: You’ll find high quality kitchen items here you may not be able to locate elsewhere in Fort Collins. They’ve also got a lot of imported treats, fun candies /​spices /​marinades, etc.
Cons: Staff isn’t terribly friendly or knowledgeable. Also, as others have mentioned, the store is INCREDIBLY packed, with both people and merchandise. There can be very little room to move around.
Still, four stars based on their stock. They may have too much stuff crammed into that store, but much of it is good stuff!

What a great place. The best kitchen store I have ever been into. They have been able to supply my every need without exception. LARGE selection and very high quality. I can do all of my Christmas shopping in this one store. A true gem. Not the cheapest place to shop but it is the best.

Walking into the Cupboard is like entering a sweet smelling land where the cooking possibilities are endless. Being a Fort Collins native and an avid cook, I have visited this store countless times and never tire of its infinite charms. Whether it’s unique china, sturdy cookware, fun cookbooks, or gourmet foreign foods, the Cupboard delivers. The personable staff and easy to navigate store make shopping and browsing here an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this store to my fellow foodies and cook-​a-​holics in addition to those looking for a great place to window shop.

This is one of my favorite cooking stores ever. They have everything you could possibly need, from pots and pans to flatware to flavorings. Their knives are very high quality; the have Henkel, Wusthof and ceramic. They also have everything you didn’t know you needed but now desparately want– an entire wall of kitchen gadgets that never fails to make me wish I’d recently won the lottery. They also have a great selection of cookbooks upstairs, and every type of coffee you could dream of.
I lived in Fort Collins for a few years before I found this place via Sunset magazine. Now I try to go every time I’m back in town. Highly recommended.

What an awesome spot that all the box stores wish they were like. The selection of food is awesome, including their oddball imports. The candle shop upstairs is fantastic, featuring some awesome local goods, and let’s not forget about all the kitchenware!
Whenever we visit Fort Fun, we always stop in here.
