Different Drummer’s Kitchen

The absolute worst service I have ever experienced. A coffee grinder that I bought there in late June, stopped working. My husband called and was told to bring it in, and speak to the manager. The following day, I did. The MANAGER was sullen, rude and not accommodating. Instead of helping me solve my problem, she insisted «I had not made my purchase there, that they hadn’t carried that model in a long time AND had never carried it» as well as that it had been poorly maintained. All of this was untrue and very upsetting.
I will never set foot in that store again, and I’m sharing my story with all my friends.

A cooking-lover’s dream. This place has everything you could think of for the kitchen/​dining/​picnicing. I’ve purchased a bunch of items for my own kitchen, and have picked up plenty of unique gifts for others who love cooking. Definitely worth dropping in on if you’re in the area.

I wanted to wow my relatives with my baking skills at a small family gathering, so I stopped in here for inspiration. The store isn’t huge, but they definitely make very good use of all their space. I found so many items that I had previously had to search for online or special order at other shops. There were also a few thoughtfully selected cookbooks and a nice grilling section. After walking through the store for almost 2 hours, filling my basket will all sorts of cooking items I had decided I couldn’t live without, I realized I was no closer to deciding what I was going to make. However, I was definitely more prepared.
I have since used several of the items I picked up here to create homemade treats, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchases. They have really cute cupcake baking cups that do not need to be put in a cupcake tin and were perfect for my nephew’s birthday party in «Blue Circles.» And I can finally make pies without over-​browning the crust thanks to Mrs. Anderson’s 9″ Pie Crust Shield.
If I am ever back in the area, I will be sure to stock up on baking supplies here.

We happened to drive by this place while on a road trip and it looked so inviting I suggested (okay, begged) that we pull over. What can I say, I really like to cook. At first I thought it was a restaurant supply store, given its size, but instead it was a remarkably well stocked kitchen store. Like a Williams Sonoma with better prices and better goods (no offense to WS).
They had every pan you could think of, and a lot that wouldn’t have occurred to you (popover pan, anyone?). Amongst the more unusual products were 5 or 6 different kinds of sea salt, a huge range of spices and peppercorns, a spice rack shaped like test tubes, a combination whisker/​grinder/​blender, a pack of food-​safe colored markers, every cookie cutter known to man, and one-​purpose tools for everything from simultaneously scooping and slicing avocados to splitting mangos while avoiding the seed.
Although I was tempted to go crazy, I came away with plastic squeeze bottles — you have no idea how hard they are to find — and sea salt.
