I saw a lot of unique items and was most excited about the mini scone pans, which I didn't know existed until today. What a time and hassle saver! There is a great display of decanters, pitchers and other stemware that I admired for awhile before moving on to enjoy browsing the colorful, decorative and interesting stock. I think it's smart that they have both modern and country style crockery. One of the women on staff checked their order catalog for me because I was curious about some items I couldn't find. She noted that they order items for customers if necessary. Both ladies on hand seemed very friendly and knowledgeable about the products. I'll be going back to purchase a few things for myself and think it's plentiful with cool gift ideas. April Challenge: The Underdog 5/30

Don't bother shopping here -- there are many other kitchen stores with much better service and…read moresimilar items. Here's my story: My mom had purchased a casserole dish as a gift for me from this store. I wanted to return it because it was too large and the store didn't have any smaller ones in stock. The clerks refused to make the return, despite that I had the store receipt in hand, because I was outside of the 7 day purchase date and my credit card wasn't the one that purchased the dish. I explained that my mom was very busy and I wasn't sure when she'd be able to come in, and I have a small baby at home and this was the first time I could come in. They said they were sorry but they couldn't do anything. I asked for cash back instead, and they refused saying they couldn't make an exception for one customer. My problem was that they were claiming they couldn't do anything, but they actually could and were just refusing to do so. I buy most of my speciality kitchen-ware from Savour, which is a cute shop in Inglewood. Its customer service is much better and I love its products. I will never shop at Zest again.

I thought I would check out The Happy Cooker since I was looking for a new apple cutter. This…read morestore has a lot of stuff! There were some beautiful sushi sets. They seem to carry nice high end cook ware, pans, pots, knifes, all of which I know nothing about. They had some very cool kitchen accessories, pretty much everything you could imagine! They had some of the nicest measuring cups, I was very tempted! The prices all seemed reasonable for the quality of the items, they had cheaper options too. There was a corner that was dedicated to baking, all kinds of whisks, even sprinkles and confetti. I did find my apple cutter, they had 3 different ones, from $8 to 12. I think Happy Cooker is a great place to pick up a gift for any foodie friends you might have! I loved the selection they offered! If I ever become a better cook and need some better quality gear, this is definitely a place I will check out! If you are in need of anything kitchen related, I would be surprised if you didn't find it here!

Great selection and Great service. I find things a tad pricey but this is where you go if you want…read moreSuper quality and original, trendy hardware and things. I love that you ask for a spare screw and it's 'not a problem' and free! Bought all new pulls/knobs and handles for our new kitchen here...then went back for laundry room hardware...then house numbers....still need a mailbox and will be back soon!

This place has a whole section designated to doorknobs! I couldn't believe how many different styles, shapes and sizes there were. There were a bunch of other chrome things there too. I noticed a couple of toilet paper holders that were pretty cool. One had a magazine rack attached... or an extra toilet paper holder, however you choose to see it. Banbury Lane has a bunch of blankets, pillows, quilts, curtains, etc. They come in all different patterns and styles. It's pretty neat to be able to match your bedspread to your curtains. There is a lot of random stuff in this store, but that's what makes it interesting. I really enjoyed browsing the entire shop! It's such an interesting and different idea for a store!

This store also promotes local artisans and local products, along with big names like Disney, Jellycat and Maison Berger, just to name a few! You have to see the kitchen side of this store, it is fabulous! A must see! You will not be disappointed, they have something for everyone.

I found a silicone spatula, silicone splatter shield and stainless steel straws. On another occasion, I bought a retractable meat tenderizer (to use for poking holes in pork belly skin to make it extra crispy) and a taco rack/holder (to keep sous vide bags separate in the water bath).

Checking online, they did indeed have what I was looking for. These guys have a small showroom/office area with many of the different types of racking, shelving, and accessories they carry. In the warehouse area they have what seems to be the most popular items stocked. If you're looking for larger racking I'm guessing you have to order it in unless they maybe have a yard out back where its stored. The staff were friendly and helpful. They even offered to cut the lengths of supports I was purchasing to the size I needed, saving my lots of time playing with my hacksaw later that day.

I had inquired about a…read morefew different shelving types from some of the other companies in the city but I was not impressed by any of their offerings. Right from the first call and then visit to CWE's store, I felt like they actually wanted to get me the right product for my needs and were not just trying to sell me something that may not be the best fit just to make a sale. They spent quite a bit of time with me to understand what I needed, what my budget was, and get me the right products the first time. I could not be happier with our purchases and the staff were incredible, I would suggest these guys to any of my family, friends or colleagues in a heartbeat. Thanks again Carol, Lynn and staff, I appreciate everything you did, I will surely be back!

I bought my first pot after watching "Julie and Julia," and decided I wanted to be just like Julia Child. So off I went to Le Creuset and made the most delicious Boeuf Bourguignon straight out of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." Since then I've gradually added more pieces. You can mix and match, or colour coordinate as you please. Very knowledgeable staff - I think most of them have actually used the products and are foodies!

Ever since one of my French clients told me how they still have the same iron cast products from 10…read moreyears ago, I have to believe the price is worth it. Just that I haven't had any issues with my current stuff, but luckily for me, I'm close enough to the American outlets, where the savings are much better than the retail level. Only difference it seems, are they have more unique colours that the outlets wouldn't get. And well designed too. Was wondering why the handle bar is so high, so lady explained when you take off the lid, neither that or the steam will come bite ya. Plus, ergonomically, it does seem easier to move around from the stove to the counter. If you got a brown note that you feel like itching to spend, then this is the last kettle you'll ever have to buy, heavy as a rock. Located ground level, beside Tumi.

My wife and I had two pallets of tile delivered to our home from your company. The delivery guy was…read moregreat and helped me move the lumber that was piled in front of the garage door left by Rona. He put the pallets in as far as he could with his forklift so I could close the garage door. As great as that was it now prevented us from getting our car in the garage. As im in a wheelchair it's really important for me to park in the garage. I called and explained the situation and said they need to send someone with a pallet jack to move the pallets as we are looking at a couple months before the tile is installed. He called the same company back who did not have a pallet jack. The driver with his forklift moved it over slightly but not enough to make our garage usable. I called again and said there needs to be a solution. He said repeatedly this was a unique situation, one they had never experienced before. I offered three suggestions and sent him photos. He called back and said that they had already sent the driver back at their cost of $80 and that there was nothing more they were willing to do. He sent me the name of a company he knew of that charged $100 an hour and they could move it but they aren't paying for it. I own three companies and in each company we go above and beyond for our customers, often costing us our profit. Why do I do that? It comes back 10 fold. We have loyal customers who don't just keep buying from us but are evangelists of our company. You can't buy marketing like that. The sales rep claims management approved this position and they were done with us. So yes you saved $100 or maybe a bit more. We are rebuilding our entire home and the next remodel is the kitchen then the basement which includes a 14×14 wine cellar. So that $100 just cost you $20,000 or more. We will provide that money to your competitors. Whoever owns this business needs to train their staff better in dealing with "unique" situations.
