Sur La Table

I guess guys don’t get waited on in here because I walked around there for a half hour today without even getting asked if I needed help. I was looking for a cake spinner for decorating cakes. I asked one of the clerks who was taking a pressure cooker out of a box what she was unboxing and she just mumbled «a pressure cooker». As I walked around the store, everyone was getting greeted with «are you finding everything» and small chit chat and the more I saw this the more irritated I became. I felt like I was Julia Roberts in the movie Pretty woman. I almost felt like just grabbing anything and everything just to drop 3 or 4 hundred dollars in that place to see if they’d feel guilty. It was my day off and I was dressed in jeans a sweat shirt and boots so maybe since I looked like a slob they thought I was homeless or something. With all of the kitchen places in Omaha, I guess they won’t get my business and lesson learned, I’ll just not shop there again. Sur La Table gets no stars from me. I will share my review on facebook, so hopefully my friends won’t make the same mistake I did.

Sur La Table is a place of many kitchen wonders. I’m a bit of a kid in a candy store here. They have all your cooking needs, and some you probably dont and will buy anyway. It is similar to Williams Sonoma, Crate and Barrel, Pier one, etc. It focuses more on cookware vs. décor, but always has things out for the season like grilling things now that it is spring and summer, and in the winter they have nifty things for fall and winter eats.
I would highly recommend this as a stop for a wedding/​bridal registry, gift spot for the person in your life that loves to cook, or or a quirky yet fun kitchen and cooking gift. You could be that gift giver that gives people things they want but wont spend money on.

I have «shopped» this store on-​line but finally made the in-​store trip today for a gift card. I find the quality of kitchen items to be on par with similar high end stores but at reduced prices versus the competition. The store was busy but well staffed with nice and professional employees.
Besides the kitchenware that I expected, the store also carries some spices and sauces (a mango chutney that I hadn’t seen in a while popped out). They also have dish towels and non cooking/​dishes items.
I somehow managed to get out of the store with only the card (because I recently bought on line) but I am sure I will be back in the future.

No stars for this place!!! The staff was completely rude and no one said a single word to me the entire time I was in their store. I waited at the cashiers stand for 5 mins to check out while the employee was enjoying a personal phone call.
I absolutely love to bake and cook. I will not be shopping for my kitchen goodies at this rude and «uppity» store.

I usually don’t give 5 stars, because there is always room for improvement. I have to make an exception for this store. We dropped in on Labor Day, as we were in town visiting family, and they really wanted us to go here with them. We’ve been to a lot of kitchen supply stores, and we don’t like most of them. Not so with SLT. We had a great experience here. Let me list some positives…
~ Friendly, helpful staff… not snooty or seeming superior (hello Williams-​Sonoma)
~ A great selection of everything for the kitchen
~ Very high quality store branded items
~ Spacious, not crowded or claustrophobic
~ Surprisingly good prices
~ Clean bathroom for public use
We came away with about 8 items that we just couldn’t find back home in Colorado Springs, and we had to figure out how to get them in the luggage. One thing I wish I could have bought was a paella pan, they had three sizes. I’ll have to get it from their website.
Sur La Table is worth going out of your way for if you live in the Omaha region. You will not be disappointed.

I’m not really much for shopping in general, but I loooove this store and have literally spent hours here talking with employees who share my passion for cooking and its associated tools and supplies. Some may say it’s on the pricey side, but this is quality stuff. Plus, their customer service is fantastic and they stand behind their products.
If there is a better place to shop for kitchen supplies in Omaha, I don’t know about it yet.

One of my favorite places to shop in Omaha. If you are at all serious/​enthusiastic about cooking, there are only so many places you can shop for kitchen goods in town, and while prices on things like small electrics are in line with those at Williams Sonoma down the street, the service here is genuinely friendly. I love browsing around all the kitchen gadgets. They also do a nice job on knife sharpening.
