Kiss the Cook

Rachel Vaughan

Would leave zero stars if I could. Purchased a springform pan here as opposed to Amazon because I needed it ASAP and was trying to support local. After a single use and a normal wash (no soaking) in water with dish soap, the thing rusted on the hinge and along the seams. Obviously not safe to cook with, and clearly some defect or issue with the product since one would assume washing a used pan would be kind of important. Store states that they’ll accept returns on defective merch…well, I call bull on that because when I tried to return (for store credit, mind you, not even a refund), the manager actually called me a liar and basically said I obviously did something to the pan (that I’ve owned for less than a week and used once, thanks), and I could try calling the company. The German company. They don’t stand behind their products, their management is rude and dismissive, and places like this are exactly why big box stores are putting small businesses out of business. I’m all for shopping local as much as the next person, and I have had great experiences with other local businesses in the area, but if someone won’t stand behind the products that they personally bring in for their inventory and work with a customer on what is clearly a defect and not a user error, then I have no confidence or interest in giving them my money. Beyond rude and inconsiderate to be called a liar to my face by the manager of the store, over a $12 pan (you know, because obviously I’m out for blood and intentionally destroying bakeware for kicks…) Take my advice: Spend your money elsewhere.

A small store with a large selection of cooking and baking items, plus coffee and tea brewing. We got knives sharpened here too, which is a great service.

They have a really thoughtful and nicely laid out selection of great quality kitchen and cooking ware. And the staff is really friendly. They just helped me secure one small star cookie cutter that I needed for a craft project. This quite possibly might have been the smallest sale of the day for them, but you wouldn't know it by how helpful they were. I'll be back!

Nice selection, knowledgeable and passionate staff, and a great location! Highly recommended, especially for nice knives. June is knife month with some great discounts.
