This is a cooks dream store. I could spend hours in here looking at everything. So...many....items...... Ladies....be careful with big purses on your shoulder. They have everything you could possibly imagine. Lots of Le Creusets, kitchen gadgets, dishes, bowls, kitchen towels...the list goes on and on and on. The ladies are so helpful and kind. They even have cooking classes all the way in the back of the store. It is a little pricy though. Not a place I would shop often but I would definitely window shop or go for a hard to find item. If you like to cook or bake or know someone that does, definitely check out this store. I know I will be back. read more

Kiddo and I went out for brunch today and with the store being so close by as usual I found myself window shopping here. The thing I like about this place, in the back of the store, they actually have cooking classes. So Mini me and I signed up for their knife using class. Being a home cook, learning proper knife skills is very important, also proper cleaning of kitchen knives is useful. And this is what the class is about. I really wanted to sign up for other classes, but let's face it, the other 3 classes just didn't hit it with me. Sushi class, beef Wellington, finally another fish cooking class. Nah, it's just not my cup of tea. With this class, kiddo will have to be away from me. The reason being is that she is a lefty while I use my right hand. With her being left handed, watching her with sharp objects just gives me an anxiety attach! Another impressive thing about The Kitchen Barn, everything is made in America. Now that is something that I can support. Also, they showed me wooden products that were made from Floyd, Virginia. Yes, Floyd is in the mountains of Virginia. But as a consumer, I really do enjoy supporting local or American made as much as possible. Although you pay more here. It's worth supporting our local economy as much as possible. So Woo Hoo! read more

Fantastic store, fantastic service and a fantastic selection!! Could not recommend this place more, we love it!!

This store was cool. It reminded me of the kitchen store at Stony Point in Richmond, Sur La Table. They had a similar style and similar items. This store is fairly small and was VERY packed full of items. You could walk easily around but it was somewhat cramped and full of stuff. They have knives, cooking items, pots, pans, baking items, cookie and cake decorating items, small basics like salt and pepper shakers and grinders and garlic presses to all kinds of other things. I thought it was pretty cool that they had some sort of cooking class or tasting class going on in the back of the store while I was there. There is a big glass window and you could see everyone eating and drinking some wine while the ladies up front were cooking some items that smelled delicious. That's pretty neat. I didn't ask about it before leaving but I'm sure you can sign up for that in the store or get on a mailing list for it. I saw some really neat stuff and they had about a million cookie cutters in the back, probably every shape or size cookie cutter imaginable. read more

Amazing selection of anything you would use in the kitchen! Maria was super helpful and knowledgeable!

If you're looking to get kitchen supplies from people who discriminate against you for no reason and are very rude, this is your place to go! They will gaurd you at the bathroom door and whisper in front of other customers about how they think you're stealing. Even when you gave no signs of stealing as 1. You just walked in the store, 2. The mini backpack never came off your back and 3. If they had surveillance cameras they'd be able to look back and see I was checking prices before putting products back on the shelves. Also, the employees won't lock the bathroom door and then proceed to invite you in with them. Pedophile vibes if you ask me. Having never been here, I assumed I was being invited in as it may have stalls and I didn't realize. Nope! One person bathroom and the employee told me to come in with her. That to me is just creepy. And this employee that invited me in will proceed to talk crap to every employee in the building in front of your friends and other customers saying how you're rude for walking in on them and not knocking. Theres a lock on the door for a reason! My friend who was waiting and browsing overheard the entire conversation of them talking about how I was stealing and the man worker rushed to the bathroom to do God knows what to prevent me from stealing. What am I going to steal? Toilet paper? And they accused me of being in the wrong gender bathroom when I wasn't from the start. The employee really tried to paint me in a terrible light to everybody. As I was walking out with my friend, we hadn't even opened the door yet when they instantly started whispering nasty things about us in front of us. There wasn't even a baracade. Whispering is RUDE, especially when your customers KEEP YOUR BUSINESS ALIVE. I was going to purchase things from your business but since you think I'm such a trash person assumingly, I will never buy from your company.. EVER. I will also let everyone I know, know about how you treat fellow money spenders. You were supposedly going to get a lot of money considering my friend just moved into her own house and needed good kitchen supplies for her culinary husband but you guys are awful. You guys need a lot of Jesus in your life. If I could give 0 stars I absolutely would. I work in customer service and know that what all 3 of the employees were saying and doing is wrong. None of them should be working in customer service, it definitely ruined the day of my friend and I. Really hurts to be wrongly accused. read more

I absolutely love this place! The products, the staff, and the classes are top notch!!

I want to love this store and have tried to but it isn't meant to be. Salespeople are friendly and knowledgeable enough but the pricing is stratospheric. Another reviewer called this place "a little pricey ". That doesn't begin to describe it. I've made purchases here a few times in the past and had progressively worsening buyer's remorse when I later learned that I paid substantially more than msrp - even on sale items. I went to the blowout September sale - 25-50% off all items in the store. I was shopping All-Clad, Le Creuset, some knives and other items. All of the items I looked at had been marked up substantially before the sale discount. Examples: one LC pot was marked up 45% above msrp and then reduced by 25%. That same pot can be ordered from LC not on sale right now for less. Another piece was marked 50% off the inflated price. Same piece is available off LC site for $50 less than KB's huge half off price TL/DR - extreme up pricing removes value and trust. Everything in this store can be easily found anywhere else for less money - sale or not read more

This kitchen store is a great alternative to Williams Sonoma. It's a small store, but crammed with all kinds of specialty gadgets. Quality, practical gadgets, more so than high-end items. The only catch is they never seem to be open. They keep scarce hours. Also, I don't think they get a lot of traffic so they sort of hover over you when you are browsing. That drives me crazy. read more

This is a great family run kitchen store. Their new store is very large and if they don't have it you probably don't need it. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. They have a large demo kitchen in the back for weekly classes and they also do knife sharpening. read more

I love this place. I love how it's an independent business and you can tell immediately by walking in that they love helping customers find the perfect item they need. So many things to choose from that you find thing in there that you never knew existed. ie: microwaveable things for eggs, spice organizer, stuff for the grill, coffee makers. You name it it's there. The brands are also not run of the mill that you can get anywhere. I love their kitchen food scales, especially that they carry escali. And they also sharpen knives which I will probably come back tomorrow!! read more

Kitchen barn! Everything you knew you needed and so much more! The employees there are super knowledgeable and are very willing to help you out with all your needs. Matt is a super passionate employee and I can tell the love he has for cooking. He wants nothing but the best for his costumers and it shows! Come here for all of your cooking needs and wants! read more

Great store. That being said, possibly the most rude salesperson I have ever met. She had the audacity to start an argument with me regarding a personal phone call that she had eavesdropped in on. She was not helping me at the time, just following me around. The owner seems to be very nice and knowledgable. The rest of the staff, not so much. Brings to mind the saying "you are only as strong as your weakest link". Beware of the bitter middle aged woman with the bob haircut. read more

Best Kitchen store EVER! Whatever you need, you can find it at Kitchen Barn. The sales staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. There are so many options to choose from! The store is organized and clean. You will want to spend hours looking at everything! You have to check it out for yourself! read more

HUGE stock of all-things-kitchen. Having said that, they follow you around the store while you're browsing. I didn't feel relaxed while poking around to find something I "didn't-need-but-had-to-have". I left empty handed. So 5 stars on stock and 1 star on service = overall 3 stars. read more

His place is unlike any other. My husband and mother in law went here by suggestion of our neighbor and were given top notch service! I ended up with a lot amazing Le creuset pieces to start my lifelong collection. I have the cast iron in shades of blue: marseille, cobalt, ink, and indigo. Each and every staff member we met were willing to help us beyond expectation. We will be back! :). -thanks! read more

The store's selections, while a tad cramped due to the huge amount of stock they pack on the shelves and along the walls, are fantastic. I've found the most obscure Asian and European cooking implements there, and they fill the specialty gap that Williams Sonoma leaves. However, I heartily agree with all the other reviewers who have expressed discomfort while shopping there due to the employees insisting on hovering over your shoulder while you shop, as if they expect you to pocket something at every turn. I can't tell whether it's because they're bored, overeager to help, or suspicious, but it's extremely off-putting. Additionally, I've come in on at least three occasions asking for a specialty item, and have been asked if I know how to use said item, or whether I understood what it was. In my experience, there has been a somewhat condescending attitude towards younger customers that I don't appreciate as an experienced cook. read more

I'm so glad I stopped in here. My Keurig broke and I was looking for a new coffee maker. A gentleman showed me several options of the Nespresso (I've wanted a Nespresso maker for years) and walked me through the differences. Another sweet man (the owner) came over and offered to make me coffee. We went to the back kitchen - btw they do cooking classes- and he taught me how the machine worked. The people in there were incredibly sweet, helpful and seemed to know everything about kitchen items. About the store - they literally have everything in there. From pots to utensils, serving ware, kitchen accessories, etc. read more

I was in the area to visit Whole Foods and decided to go to Kitchen Barn first. I've been meaning to go and I was going to treat myself to some baking supplies and/or gadgets and also wanted to support a local store. Unlike the people who were followed around as if they were going to shoplift, I was invisible at this store. Not one greeting, not an offer to help - I was ignored, even though it was not busy. There were three other customers in the store and two store employees. It's a pet peeve of mine to walk into a store and not at least be acknowledged. There are literally thousands of stores to shop from and I walk in your store. Say hello. It's courteous and it's freaking free. So I made the most of my new super power and perused the claustrophobic-inducing store at my leisure, making sure to watch my step because I felt like I was in a hoarder store. I felt as if I had to watch my turns and kept my elbows in so as not to hit something or knock something off the shelf. Not a great environment to put one in a buying mood. I left without buying anything there. But I did get to see and touch a lot of items that made it easy for me to order online. I got everything I wanted at Amazon - several baking molds, a chef's knife, two madeleine molds, an assortment of baking gadgets and one piece of orange Le Creuset to add to my collection. read more

The place has cool stuff, but kinda pricey. The staff are nice however they do hover but I knew that from other reviews and since I expected it I wasn't as bothered as much. read more

Happy equipment shopping here! GREAT sales people! The Kitchen Barn has just changed locations in the same neighborhood. It's a much larger store, and very, very well equipped. It's a "family owned" business, and I have been shopping there whenever I've come to town for about 25 years! The owner is a hoot--so friendly and knowledgeable! And his sales people make shopping there a party! They love to cook and shop for kitchen equipment as much as I do! Everyone is greeted with a Hi! whenever they walk in, like you're an expected guest. The sales team is never overbearing, but they will enter into your passion for the search as if they are reading your mind! Home chefs are so like that. They offer a wonderful selection of pots and pans, but not a 'deep' selection; that is, they stick pretty much to a favored brand or two of top-level cookware and appliances. The selection isn't always the brand I am searching for. Ditto in the knife department (FYI, they also sharpen knives!). This isn't a department or appliance store, so there just isn't room to stock every brand--as much as I would like to satisfy ALL my kitchen needs there because I like the people so much. But everything I am looking for, I look here FIRST. Because it's fun! I have found that America's Test Kitchen to be the most reliable tester of every type of equipment on the market. I never buy anything new without consulting their (subscription) site first for recommendations. When kitchen stores set out to stock their shelves, it would behoove them to check out the ATK website as people are going to be looking for their top picks as well as their "best buy" recommendations. BTW, I found four items from my ATK list this week at the Kitchen Barn. read more

My husband and I recently visited Kitchen Barn for the first time and immediately our biggest regret was "why haven't we been here sooner??" Several staff members, as well as the owner himself, were working and each one was super friendly and so helpful! We were also impressed by how knowledgeable they were on various products. You can't find this quality of customer service in the big box stores! We will definitely be back soon....this will be our go to place for kitchen items. So glad to have discovered another wonderful local business to support!! read more

Much better alternative to Williams-sonoma. Owners are extremely friendly and knowledgable. Were able to special order a pitcher for us that matches our le cruset cookware. This kind of service and customer care is what the local movement is all about! read more

This is a fantastic kitchen store run by people who are very customer oriented. If you don't find it here it just doesn't exist. Make sure you meet Joel, the owner. It's really a great guy read more

Honestly The sales reps are Pretentious and rude. I can't stand the customer service in this store and it is marked way too high. My recommendation would be to go touch and see things in person and order on Amazon for a more reasonable price. Bought the exact set of pans marked at 900 at the store and only for 700 on Amazon with an additional crepe pan. $200 savings is quite a bit, I suppose you are paying for the uppity and flat out rude environment. No thanks. read more

Kitchen Barn is the place to go for high quality kitchen accessories. Their cutlery section is terrific and I have purchased some knives and other items from them. Joel, the owner, is a delight to talk and work with and he surely loves what he does. I have also taken at least 6 cooking classes in their state of the art kitchen located in the back of the store. Janie Jacobson is the professional chef and instructor and the classes are fun. You pick up some simple techniques that will last a life time. I highly recommend this store. read more

Great selection, however, I will not return. We went in and purchased an item for double the price it was on Amazon Prime. I knew it would be higher price, but I try to help out the local brick and mortars. What bugged me was that my wife and I were being trailed the whole time by 3 employees like we were shoplifters. i"m pretty sure two of them were the owners. Really, I'm going to shoplift kitchen equipment? I like reading the boxes and comparing, however, it is uncomfortable having employees looking over my shoulder and staring at me through the other aisles. I would suggest they get a location with more space and add more cameras. My wife is a great cook, always has been, and we have nice cooking tools like All Clad, Vita-Mix, etc. However, we didn't shop lift them. It was pretty irritating. We will no longer support Kitchen Barn with our purchases. read more

The smaller previous location was quaint, friendly and intimately more attentive to the regular customer. There were two regular staff faces who exemplified customer relations. Now, the store is so large you get accosted by multiple employees within seconds of entering the store, leaving one to feel unsettled, and like you're a potential shop lifter and untrusted to be left alone to enjoy perusing. I was insulted by one of the staff and though I have been a loyal customer for years, I will not return. read more
