Williams Sonoma

Do not buy electronics at william sanoma !!! In november 2013 i bought a all in one mixer. In october 2014 the machine broke apart, i asked to change it, but sadly for me i could only exchange it for a soup mixer… Anyway i took it, and the seller told me that their garanty policy changed and now its only 30 days instead of a year! After 4 months only and using it bearly once a month my brand new $ 99.90 soup mixer broke apart again… I am so disapointed of the quality they pretend to sell… Goodbye william sanoma, hello Amazon… By the way mixers starts at $ 13 on Amazon… And they probably last longer…

I am absolutely in love with this store. They have every kitchen gadget you could possibly imagine. This is like a candy store for adults. The odds and ends here are a little pricey but I still thoroughly enjoy going every time. Anything you can dream of needing for cooking… They got it! The staff is very helpful here as well. If you like sweet things you can purchase a sprinkles cupcake kit. Gives you everything you need to make sprinkles cupcakes from home, including the signature candy dot for the top. Definitely one of my guilty pleasures. If you haven’t gone, get in your car and drive there… NOW! You won’t be sorry.

This is the smallest Williams-​Sonoma I’ve been to and it definitely showed when I was trying to look for a couple things to purchase. My main item I was searching for was a citrus juicer and the store was completely out. The employee who kind of helped me couldn’t give me any clue when the item was going to be back in stock. Ironically, there is supposedly a citrus event happening at this location soon and this is one of the main display items on the wall as well.
The only way I would head back to this location is for an event. The location is great though at Lincoln Road and close to some parking garages. I just found this location to be small and lacking in some sections of the store. Sadly I walked out empty handed since everything I was looking for was currently out of stock, which is a huge rarity for me because I can always find something to purchase.

I’m wondering if there is anything really useful (or maybe a «must have») that sits on a W-​S shelf that you are willing to part with over a hundred dollars for? If you’re a bonafied foodie — face it — yeah, you want EVERYTHING that sits on those tasteful shelves that look like Martha Stewert herself just gave it a handy little perky pick-​me-​up with pretty colors and an almost scientific detail to product placement. But do you need it? And furthermore — unlike me, can YOU afford it? I’m guessing the employees at the Sobe location of W-​S didn’t think I COULD because I was pretty much dissed as I wondered the store looking for some particular items — items that had I found, I probably would have bought (well, that being said — I was also looking for a spice grinder and apparently they couldn’t be bothered to have one that didn’t hover around $ 150). For over the top prices that make you feel cooking is a privilege that belongs to landowners and aristocracy and for snooty employees that pre-​judged me as «too poor to bother with» I really think they deserve no stars. BUT for having handy dandy shiny appliances, good books and great spices and oils — ALL OF WHICH CAN BE PURCHASED FOR A SONG at any decent Marshalls or TJ Maxx — I give them two.

Even though I don’t cook as much as I’d like to, I love perusing all the kitchen wares at Williams-​Sonoma. I’ve wasted many an hour gazing longingly at beautiful knife sets, classic cookware, cool kitchen gadgets, crazy-​expensive Vitamix blenders, and cookbooks, marinades, and starters galore!
The last few times I’ve been to the Lincoln Road Williams-​Sonoma location, it’s been for the Edible South Florida Artisan Market, to check out the best of what our locals are cooking up — and in particular to stock up on Copperpot’s jam! These markets are about once a month and offer a great introduction to what many of the local farmer’s markets around town can offer — great products sold by great people who really care about what they’re doing.
Despite being located on Lincoln Road, this location never seems like it’s super-​crowded, which is great. Whether you’re looking for a gift for the cook in your life, or just want to drool over shiny new kitchen toys, Williams-​Sonoma is for you.

After having attended two additional classes, I thought I’d give a couple of quick tips. Maria and Andrea are both great and very patient with my peppering them with 1000 questions. They usually have some fun facts available about the ingredients used, like how Japanese dashi (soup stock) is made.
The common thread:
— Each demonstration has 3 – 4 courses, at least 2 of which contain meat as its main ingredient.
— Class sizes are limited to 6 people.
— Don’t expect healthy cooking. Lots of butter, heavy cream and the like.
— Recipes don’t include nutritional info (probably better that way).
— Portions are generous but not so huge that you can’t get through all courses.
— The Asian recipes are Asian inspired more so than authentic; most of the ingredients can be found at the local supermarket.
— Recipes are simple enough to replicate at home.
— Be sure to pick up some of their vanilla emulsion. It’s not expensive and great!

Free cooking classes on sundays!!! were do i sign up… at 11am they open the doors just to let the group for the class in, then they close them! you get the store to yourself for a whole hour.
i went last week and we went thru 4 pasta recipes, and they will even give you a taste and let you take the instructions home!

Right in the middle of Lincoln road this is a fantasy store for me. I love to cook at home, and though my best meals are basic, I am expanding further and further out of my comfort zone. This store gives me countless ideas on things to try making by showing how to with the specialized, and expensive, cookware.
I can easily spend 45 minutes just looking at and playing with all of the contraptions, and at times I even buy things. The tables in the back of the store have all the sale and close out items, many of which you will never use, but you buy knowing you will. The selection is normally a season behind, or specialty items that may be a touch to specialized.
Along the wall to the left when you walk in the door are kitchen basics, and they are affordable. I have some of my favorite kitchen tools from this wall, and with out over paying for the quality.
A special draw to the store is the amount of kitchen star wars items. I have controlled myself so far, but I do bring my lunch to work most days in the Star Wars lunch box I bought here. By the registers there are normally samples of good food that you should try on your way through.

Visited the store on 7÷27÷11 and upon walking in, we were greeted immediately and asked if we needed any assistance. Phillip assisted me in getting the Breville toaster oven as well as the All-​Clad pan we purchased. He was polite, professional & had a sense of humor. Would def. return to this location.

I really can’t say enough good things about this store. Lets start with the quality of the items purchased here. I still have a garlic press that I bought over ten years ago in another WS. Its like new, and works like the first day I bought it.
Second of all, the service is always, and i mean ALWAYS exemplary. On this occasion one of the gentlemen in the store kept on feeding us delicious things from cookies, to taffy, to popcorn. I was so sorry I had just eaten because I would have accepted so much more.
Of course I couldn’t resist walking out with a few things I really don’t need for my kitchen but just had to have.
It was the only way my hubby could get me out of there.

I adore WS for multiple of reasons. Their super attentive and kind staff. Their aromas when you enter cause there is always something magical being baked or cooked. Their white sangria mix is a tropical escape everytime sipped. This is another store I can never walk into and walk out empty handed. I also love how they wrap all your gifts for you, and hold your items for you to pick up much later so you don’t have to lug around lincoln.

Walking around the area with our out of town friend, we saw this store and I just can not walk by and not walk in so, we did. We had Wellington graciously greet us and take care of us. He was extremely attentive without being pushy or over whelming. He answered all of our questions and explained the difference between one slow cooker and the other and gave us enough room for us to look around, browse and talk. As usual, I came out with a couple of wonderful gadgets and very satisfied with the location, the attention and my purchase.

Everytime I step into this gourmand foodie haven, I enter a kitchen wares wonderland. I can’t stress enough how helpful the employees are. They are smart, not pushy and super helpful. Today I picked up a heavy duty garlic press and some kitchen towels. This is THE place to buy gifts for the foodie/​cook in your life. The gift wrapping is absolutely to die for. Forget Pottery Barn, which is right next door. The buyers at Williams Sonoma are doing something right– every product is of the highest quality and the store’s ambiance maintains a warm, friendly, «come touch and test everything» kind of vibe. One day, when I grow up I’ll have a house full of Williams Sonoma products.
