Back in early February, my partner and I were in College Station to visit family. We made our way…read moreover to historic downtown Bryan and checked out Cocoa's Pantry. Cocoa's advertises itself as a kitchen supply store, and they definitely carry plenty of upscale brands (Zwilling, Breville, Le Creuset). We, however, were there for the Chocolate Gallery. The kitchen is surrounded by glass, so you can see all of the chocolate delicacies being made. We stopped in a few days before Valentine's day, so chef was making chocolate covered strawberries. While peering in, we noted the Culinary Institute of America chef's jacket on the wall behind us. This elevated our expectation! We made our way to the Chocolate Gallery, where a lovely attendant explained offerings that included a variety of cakes and artisan chocolates. Though they looked delicious, we passed on the cakes and strawberries, and selected 3 artisan chocolates each. These are the type of chocolates that you savor, letting them melt in your mouth. The mouth feel of these gems was smooth with no waxiness or grainy feeling, and the varied fillings enhanced the complexity. This isn't a penny candy store, but you're getting fine chocolates. Unfortunately, we were so busy savoring the chocolate, that we didn't take any photos! I hope Bryan supports this store during COVID-19 so that we can visit again when we come back.

A great addition to Downtown Bryan. A great selection of cookware and cutlery.read more

The sales staff were very patient, fully explanatory with my questions in layman's terms as they full understood that I simply place items into the appliance and that is as far as my "expertise" is!! In all seriousness, I came away with both two dishwashers that met all of my expectations and the delivery crew is top notch!! They were incredibly patient, delightful guys that I felt great remorse and guilt as the installation of one of the dishwater's was a magic trick that took a few tries but they pulled it off!!! I will never shop anywhere but Ferguson as they give you red carpet service from the moment you walk in to the last bit of card board and bits are taken with their wonderful and delightful crew!!!

A few years ago, I contacted Stearns after hiring an absolutely terrible kitchen remodeler led by…read moreDoug Smith (his company name changes, probably due to lawsuits), as I was in need of an estimate for what it would cost a) to undo the damage Doug's team did and b) to get an estimate of what it would cost to actually get my small kitchen installed. I am a broke grad student that owns half a duplex in hood-adjacent Bryan (it's not in the hood, but it's viewable from my home). When they came over, they were very honest in saying that they don't usually do projects as small as mine and that don't involve design; they do higher end projects. I appreciated their honesty, as I've had multiple people waste my time or charge an absurd amount, I'm assuming to get out of the work unless I paid them 4x over what others would charge for the same job. Despite my home not being within their usual budget and area of specialty, they still wrote me estimates for free that I could take to court when the previous remodeler tried to sue me for nonpayment when virtually nothing he did was up to code and most of it was actually a huge fire hazard. These guys have integrity. I've had virtually no luck with any home repair people out here and didn't actually hire these guys to do the job, but, if I had the money, I'd do so in a heartbeat. They're good guys with good hearts and won't take advantage of you and will make sure the job is done right. Genuine, honest, and reliable company! Highly recommend!
