If you need a copper preserving pan, a bean slicer, a macaroon mat or a dried chilli grinder, this…read moreis the place for you. It is literally kitchen porn. It's not huge, but it is packed with everything you could ever want in a kitchen, and a few implements that even I was unsure of what to do with! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and it's almost impossible to escape without having bought anything. I wandered in with a (guy) friend who pooh-poohed all kitchenware, and yet even he walked out with a Japanese carving knife at £60... They even get stock in for you if you ask them to. I feel a bit bad, as I asked them to get in a bean slicer, only to immediately find one elsewhere. The 10 bean slicers sitting forlornly on their hook stare at me every time I go in...I don't feel too bad though, I have since bought a jam funnel, some olive wood spoons and a special cleaning brush for sweetcorn.

Forgot a converter to use my US laptop while in the UK. Perfect assist from the Robert Dyas - staff…read morewalked me right to the correct display, asked a few clarifying questions and recommended one of the cheapest converters - which proved to be exactly all I needed. Always great when a shop looks for a result that is good for the customer and shop. Thanks Robert Dyas!

Just made my last trip ever to Robert Dyas. I thought Astonish Daily Shower & Shine for £3.99…read more(£2.59 on Amazon) and Dyson All in 1 Dye for £10.99 (£7 at John Lewis). So £5.39 more expensive which is ridiculous; after fifteen years, goodbye Robert Dyas.

Did Ikea and Daiso have a baby and I just didn't know it?…read more OK, Ikea is Swedish, and Hema is Dutch, so it's not quite the same, and the prices aren't all $1.50... so maybe not. But do you get what I mean? This is a Dutch store where there's plenty of Hema-branded household goods that are reasonably priced. Think food, snacks, toiletries, bathroom supplies, school supplies, etc. I really like the concept and the presentation. I'd go nuts for a store like this in the States. This reminds me of the store Miniso in China. There's a ton of makeup and skin care here for some reason. I even got a Kabuki brush for about £8 or so. I also bought this SPF 10 face lotion for about £6 are so.

What a fun shop! If Tiger and Muji had a baby, it would be something like Hema…read more Hema is a Dutch import full of all sorts of neat stuff: stationery, kitchen goods, kids crafts, traditional toys, cosmetics, a small basic clothes selection, and snacks. A little bit of everything, and it's all quite cool.

I guess this store has a pretty good selection of kitchen items. I also like to play guess who…read more "Is it a man?" "Does he wear glasses?" "Does she play the clavichord?" Anyhow, as I said, I guess this place is alright. My dad was pretty excited about the pizza pan he got there - said it's high class, the Mercedes of pizza pans. There's a lot of kitchenware stores like this in the city. Did you know we built this city on rock and roll? I'm not wholly convinced that there is much to distinguish this store from its kitchen and bath store counterparts. Maybe the fact that the stores wears a curly green wig, but there might be other stores like that so I can't say. This is a good place to pick up pots and pans and get tropic tans.

It's a good kitchen shop with a lot of choice. The people who run it are helpful and knowledgeable…read more I've been getting bits and pieces in here for decades! Also, usefully open on Sundays
