I think anyone that comes into your store and says they had a bad experience must have had a lousy morning or bad encounter with another vehicle before they got to your store. What a gem with so many helpful employees, wow and yes I love the place. read more

Overpriced and rude service. I came in here to ask about their knives and was treated very rudely by the man behind the counter. I will not be returning anytime soon. read more

My son brought us here. It was my first visit. HOLY COW. They have everything. Kid in a candy store. I'd pay them to let me work there. Got a good knife and a knife block and honestly I'd drive there again right now if gas wasn't five bucks. Friendly customer service :) The COLORS in there just stunning the way everything is displayed. Good prices for good kitchen stuff. Good kitchen stuff pays for itself pretty quickly! Yen stars. read more

I placed a custom order a month ago and was patiently waiting for the items to arrive. These were to complete a set that I had already paid almost $600 for. The custom order was another $470. I drove by the store today to see the exact item out front on display. I called the store, was disconnected twice, and finally spoke to someone who said they "tried" to call but there was a "glitch" and couldn't leave a message. No follow up, no additional attempt. Even though they also had my email on file, made no attempt to use it. By sheer luck I saw the items outside the store, otherwise I don't know that I would ever have received them. Absolutely horrendous customer service. They could care less about the client experience, they just want your hard earned money. read more

I loved this store so much I visited TWICE on my recent Portland trip. It was a great place to stop for some last-minute Christmas gifts. Because, really, who can't use a few new kitchen gadgets, bowls, or cookware. And this place has it ALL. I was especially attracted to their mesmerizing display of Le Creuset, which (with all its beautiful colors) is sort of like putting a sugar fiend in front of a bowl of chocolate. I want it ALL. Do I NEED it all? No. But I WANT it. Sadly, though, I had to invoke my personal policy of not buying things for myself during the holiday season, so while I looked at the Le C I did not touch. Someday, though, I'll get that bread baker! The rest of the store is similar in its ability to draw you in with attractive displays and colorful eye candy. I bought some bakeware for one of my kids who just got his first apartment, some barware for another, and a few odds and ends for stocking stuffers. I could easily have visited a third time; alas, it was time to head home to the big city so I couldn't. (Probably woulda bought that bread baker if I had, though!) read more

Their employees are knowledgeable and actually sweet. I would much rather shop here rather than Amazon.

I love kitchen gadgets. I usually stop at kitchen stores to see what's new in terms of technology, shapes, sizes, etc. This store in Portland is great...there are so many fun things to check out, to buy and to try, it's amazing. Kitchen Kaboodle has been Portland's go-to store since 1975 for people looking to make their house a home. Kaboodle has been honored as one of the nation's top 25 kitchen stores of the last 25 years. And we've been the US nominee for the international GIA award. They have a great selection of cookware, bakeware, cutlery, tools & gadgets, kitchen appliances, and much more. Besides kitchen stuff, they also have a nice collection of dinnerware, table linens, glassware, and decorative accessories. Stop by next time you are in Portland, or if you live in Portland, stop by if you are in the area. It's fun ! read more

Kitchen Kaboodle is my favorite store in all of Portland, locally owned, locally operated. What could be better? I'll tell you. The service you receive when going into the store. If you're lucky enough to have someone greet you their back is usually turned and they say it barely audible for people to hear. There are generally 3-4 people standing around the counter. My expectations would be to walk in , have someone greet me, say is there anything special you're looking for today? Let me know about what sales are going on. Maybe show me some of the new stock they got in. Oh look here lady shopper we just got in these beautiful Scanpans, right now they are special 2 pans for the price of one. But no. No service like that. Just aimlessly walk around the store and end up leaving because I don't really know where to start. I hope for the sake of the business they can get some employees who like working in sales. It's a huge store. Street parking can be simple or they have a tiny lot behind the store. read more

Kitchen Kaboodle has nice equipment with a variety of choices but the thing that really got me was their customer service. I asked one lady were there butter knifes were and she looked at me like I was scum. read more

I'm one of those people that loves to walk around kitchen and home wares stores even when I have no specific item in mind. I just love to see what's new in gadgets, appliances, serving ware, linens and decor and Kitchen Kaboodle serves this need in spades! Kitchen Kaboodle is well organized with all like-items in sections and color coordinated within those sections. While I prefer all white serving pieces for a classic yet modern look, I do love all the vibrant, fun colored fiesta ware, Le Creuset, and KitchenAid appliances. A girl can dream! Seasonally, they have wonderful items to give your home or deserts that holiday flare like dish towels, cupcake wrappers and sprinkles, cookie cutters, napkins and table runners, candles, and so much more. They do a great job of styling it all so it catches your attention. They have a back wall full of kitchen gadgets which I'm always a sucker for but then rarely use! I've purchased the meatball scoop makers in various sizes but find my hands are still the best! Although they are helpful for making everything uniform in size, which I'm a stickler about, so I scoop then use my magic hands. Prices span the gamete, and they priced less below Sur La Table, plus they often have sales. Their basics like clear glassware and white serving pieces are very competitively priced. They carry Portland Syrup Company syrups which makes stocking up on my favorite Spicy Ginger syrup very convenient. They stock many local items like Portland coasters and prints of Portland Bridges, cookbooks from local chefs, Jacobsen salts, local chocolates and condiments to name a few. Fabulous for gift baskets or to send to those out of state. If you need barstools, I highly recommend walking upstairs to the furniture area. They have a large selection on site and with bar / counter stools, you really need to sit and try them out. In the summer, they have bright colored umbrellas and a variety of out door dining sets and occasional chairs. Customer service is friendly and helpful. They understand that a lot of customers wander aimlessly and zone out while doing so! That would be me. I like that they let you do your thing with no pressure to buy. Yes, there are some impulse items I buy on the spot, but for the more expensive appliances and furniture I do my homework, read reviews, plus check pricing at other stores to make sure that I'm spending my hard earned money wisely. Kitchen Kaboodle is a great local chain that fills a niche; higher end than Bed Bath & Beyond and not as expensive as Sur La Table. Always enjoy shopping here. read more

So many things in such a small space but all visible and accessible. So many hand tools and gadgets, 16 or so colors of fiesta ware, a wide choice of knives. some brands you know some you don't. But even better than all goods is the service--6 stars for that! read more

When you need kitchen-ish things, it's easy to think first of big box or online stores, but Kitchen Kaboodle is better. So much better. They don't sell every brand, but the ones they do are trusted and worthy of your money. They can't sell at the lowest prices, but their prices are fair, and they employ actual people who want to help you buy the right product for you, not the one that costs the most. I'm not always able to buy my kitchen-ish things from Kitchen Kaboodle - sometimes they don't have what I'm looking for, or another store has a really great sale that I just can't afford to not take advantage of - but I always try Kitchen Kaboodle first because they're caring, knowledgeable humans who treat their customers with respect and generosity. I've had so many great experiences shopping with these folks. I love supporting them and hope their stores are around forever! read more

Always seem to find unique things here for decorating the house. Also some harder to find kitchen items. Like having this type of local store as it is nice to touch and feel and easily return etc. have bought our walnut kitchen table here, fun placemats, ceramic wall hangings, fake air plants and fun small metal side tables (probably more things). I'm sure more over the years but want them to stick around. The staff have also been very helpful when I needed them. read more

I really, really want to like this place since it's right across the street from my condo and the first time I went in they were super helpful and had want I wanted. However that was the only time. Went over yesterday looking for a global knife and they didn't seem to have one. Didn't ask so that's on me but it's a pattern; I'm not that special but, aside from my first visit they never have what I need and the staff never seems to be able to help. Prices are high, so if you cook a lot and are a serious about it we have found that either of the commercial kitchen supply places have a great stock of very sturdy "smalls" at great prices and a super knowledgeable staff. And, everyone is welcome, you don't need to have a commercial account. If, on the other hand, you are looking for colorful accents to decorate your designer kitchen space- this is the place. read more

I will easily admit that I like to wander kitchen stores. I like going into Bed Bath and Beyond (although they tend to be overpriced on many things) and I will buy something. I've walked out with rolling pins, cast iron pans, cookie sheets and random utensils for the kitchen. Besides being a foodie, I can hold my own in a kitchen. I'm not applying for the Next Great Home cook show anytime soon, but I can do what I need to do and people seem to enjoy my food. That and I'm always wanting to experiment with something new that I haven't done yet. Making pasta? Check. Making sour pickles? Check. Making beer bread? Check. So when I happen upon Kitchen Kaboodle of course I'm going in. I will say that some of the items are pricy)or spendy as the "new" word of the moment is. But surprisingly, there are many items that are affordable. A spice grinder was $36, but you can get a coffee grinder for only $20 and use it for the same purpose. I had a great chat with one of the employees over spices and local restaurants in the area and then wandered on my own. I saw some great knives and saw some "what the hell would I ever buy these for" kind of knives as well. Basically some odd Japanese knives with patterns and splotches all over them. A bit over the top for my liking. The store was organized really well. By color, by brand, by type. The pictures I took give you a glimpse of what I mean. There was a second floor for furniture, but I didn't venture up there only because I didn't need to find something I really wanted. I stuck downstairs and saw the practical things I could actually use. This is a place I will return to, as soon as I have my own places to cook in and not just my brothers tiny apartment kitchen. Enjoy. read more

My husband and I custom ordered a beautiful dining room table here and we absolutely love it! We couldn't be more pleased. At first, the table was delivered in the wrong color, and even though it was the manufacturer's fault, Sarah H. from the furniture department took good care of us. They re-made our order and delivered the correct table a few weeks later. It is now sitting pretty in our dining room. Highly recommend!! read more

Kitchen Kaboodle - NE Store - Our handcrafted Saloom table from Kitchen Kaboodle. - Furniture Stores Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Have bought all the dino plushies, KitchenAid utensils, Oxo tools, wooden spatulas, epicurean cutting boards, bakeware, cloths, artisan dishes and bowls, and eventually more knives, blenders, and cast iron or le creuset wares. Cutest ever, support local. Our place looks great now. Sur La Table has some cute stuff but it won't beat Kaboodle. I picked up my Shun 8" western chefs knife at Sur sinxe they did not have the model. read more

I like Kitchen Kaboodle a lot. They sell some good stuff, but they also sell some crap stuff disguised as good stuff (see my tip at the bottom of the review). All of their dish ware and cutlery is great, but a lot of their gadgets are either needless, overpriced, or not up to the standard of other similar products. That's a big drag. I came in yesterday looking for bowls, and found what I needed. The bowls (the dish-ware kind), are great. Super expensive at $19/each, but that's what a good quality, thick, difficult to break costs nowadays. We also bought absent of 3 Pyrex mixing bowls with lids for $30. That seemed pretty fair. Also a couple of red wine glasses for $6/each. That's very reasonable. Pro-tip: check America's Test Kitchen for the best reviewed item, then come here to buy it. It's the best source for information like this. The staff loves to just guess and act like they know what they're talking about. read more

Broke my french press plunger on a bitter cup of coffee.

And then another great Kaboodler named Tano made me espresso. Love this place. read more

Kitchen Kaboodle - NE Store - Furniture Stores Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Kitchen Kaboodle has been a kitchen accessory as well as a furniture store in NE Portland, OR for many, many years. My husband and I have shopped for ourselves and for gifts hundreds of times. When we were ready late last year to upgrade our dining room table, we went right over to our neighborhood Kitchen Kaboodle! Little did I expect our order would lead to a complicated situation and we would get little to no customer service as things progressed. Covid -19 aside. We ordered the table we wished in late October, early November and were told it would not be ready for delivery until after Christmas. The process to order the table was cumbersome and was complicated by the fact the two sales women ( Sarah and Daniel) were involved in helping us and they did not convey information of our order to each other in an efficient and correct fashion, slowing the process and requiring us to recontact multiple times. Then Christmas came and went and a table was delivered for an additional $100 dollars. Unfortunately, they had ordered the wrong table and we were told that to get the table we wanted (albeit, the table we had thought we ordered originally) would end up needing to be delivered early April. This meant a second meaningful family holiday would have to be cancelled at our home. Instead of picking up the wrong table they left they wanted us to wait until the other table was delivered. They would not pick up the table we currently had unless we paid an additional $100 for picking it up. We were also informed that when the correct table, DID get shipped to Kitchen Kaboodle, we would also have to pay an additional $100 to get that one delivered to our home. Then Covid 19 hit the city hard and Gov. Brown closed every business. Communication with the store was leveled to emails, which decreased to virtually zero after the new table was ordered. So we were left waiting and waiting for a response and any updates. Their customer service had fallen completely away. They made no attempt to contact us independently to let us know what was going on, when we might expect to hear what was going on, in fact any information at all. We continued to contact them via email where one person we contacted shifted our questions to another person who didn't answer our questions in full. Finally in the middle of May we discovered that our table was in their warehouse and we could go over and pick it up in our "car". Of course we still had the issue of the wrong table in our dinning room and the setting up of the table IF we were to pay a van to pick up and set up our table, plus pay to have the wrong table taken back to the warehouse. This was the "service" options we were given. No one offered any service outside of us practically taking care of the issue AND paying for it all ourselves, even though they had delivered the wrong table that we had paid originally to receive! No offer to swap out with no charge and take any responsibility for their error. Late May we noticed the store had reopened and we went in to talk with the Store Manager, Brandt. When I approached him about when we might expect to get the correct table his response wasn't customer friendly. He basically was defensive telling me HE was frustrated, had been off work and they didn't have any drivers for their vans. My response was, "well, I hope you can empathize with how frustrated we were as customers!" A few days later Brandt called my husband and offered to forgive $287 that was owing on our table so we could pay the $200 in movers fees. We are very happy with the workmanship of our new Gat Creek table and it's design. We are truly unhappy, disappointed in the incredible lack of customer service we were provided. A simple phone call, or at the very least, timely responses to our emails with a full and complete response to our questions is not asking to much for maintaining ones reputation within a community that held them up when they are struggling a number of years ago. However, we will not be taking our business there in the future and I am not without comment when asked by others of my experience with Kitchen Kaboodle. Regards Sandra and Herb read more

Over the years I've purchased lots of things from KK -- from a table and chairs to kitchen gloves. The prices are reasonable (but not many bargains). I never needed to consult a salesperson until this most recent experience and lemme tell you: NEVER AGAIN. I stopped into the Broadway store to get an unusual but not rare item: a tea bag squeezer. (A silly little tool that is a great gift for tea lovers.) When I inquired with the salesperson (a very nice gentleman) he said he'd had a few people recently come in asking for them but didn't think they carried them. So he went to ask a manager and the woman (I think her name was Maggie) was so utterly rude my jaw dropped open. She told me that they didn't have them and that "a teaspoon works just fine" and dismissed me with a withering look. Seriously, they have all kinds of useless items in this place and she's giving me attitude about a freaking tea bag squeezer! And she's in management? From now on I'll squeeze my way into another store. I will never shop there again and I will pass that recommendation on to anyone who will listen. read more

I used to think Kitchen Kaboodle was an overpriced Fred Meyer kitchen section. Maybe Freddy's was better back then, or maybe I knew less about kitchens. These days I think KK is pretty cool. They've got a good selection of stuff and it's neither as snooty as expensive (nor faux French) as Sur la Table (which I apparently refuse to pronounce and possibly spell correctly). The service is pretty good, most of the time if you stay in one place long enough somebody will ask you if you need help and they'll be pretty helpful. Conversely if you want to be left alone there's enough shelving in this place to stay out of sight. Don't misuse that, yo. I came in because I was finally willing to pull the trigger on a Sodastream. KK sells them and also exchanges the CO2 bottles, so I decided to reward them with some money. Bonus it was closer than the downtown Target. Also likely less cult-like (I've worked at a Target, so don't bother arguing that point). Since I'm on that gas train I will definitely be back to Kitchen Kaboodle. read more

I dislike shopping online, but it was a necessity ths time. To my delight, the website was easy and intuitive and listed everything I wanted. I made my order at 2:30 am on Tuesday and at 1:30 pm on Wednesday it was delivered to my front door (I live in outer Portland) in a Kitchen Kaboodle shopping bag - obviously hand-delivered. (I had not needed to pay shipping.) I always get excellent in-person service. Now I know I'll grt excellent on.ine service. read more

My family and I just had the worst shopping experience at this store. Please do not ever shop at Kitchen Kaboodle ever. Yesterday, we stopped in after walking through a nice little farmers market to see if they had a coffee maker for our upcoming camping trip. As we wandered upstairs to check out furniture, my son Owen was stacking some blocks of wood they had on a display shelf. He was being gentle and we were right there the whole time. After we put all of them back, he took off running (as most 2-1/2 yr olds do). At this point one of their employees says in an incredibly rude tone "would you please get your child...this isn't a toy store." I said "yep, obviously we're trying to do just that. Thanks." As we are trying to corral him (because he thinks its a game now), she says, "get your kid now! (Raising her voice to me)" I was blown away. I say, "look Sarah, I cannot believe how rude you are being. We are trying to leave and I promise we will never be back." As we're heading down the stairs there was another family coming up and my wife Angela says "I wouldn't go up here, kids aren't welcome." Sarah, the employee jabs "I'm sure these kids will be better than yours!" Now, those are fighting words. Somehow by the grace of God I didn't just lay into her with a line of expletives. I just said that we need to speak with her manager. She says, "you should..he will have my back," and storms off to get her manager. So as we're walking out, we said to the manager, "obviously this is not a family establishment and I promise you and anyone I can convince will never shop here again." He said, "this IS a family store." We said, "not by how we were just treated." All of the sudden, you could just tell that Sarah knew she screwed up BIG TIME. If you like to support businesses that believe in families/kids/being kind, you should not shop there then. Go to Williams &Sonoma instead. Rant over. read more

The Boodle probably needs a less cutesy name, if only because they are catering to people who have money to burn. I do really love to cook, so I visit the Kitchen Kaboodle from time to time when I need a really quality cooking pan, or a device like an immersion blender. They have lots of seasonal table ware and decor, as well as big selection of cooking gadgets and things that I think Martha Stewart would love. It's not a bad thing, really...it's fun to browse there, but I dock them a star for the high prices and pretty mediocre service. They pretty much leave you to fend for yourself and don't seem all that thrilled that you are spending your money there. I like the furniture, generally speaking (kind of weird that "Kitchen Kaboodle" has a whole floor of furniture upstairs), but as other reviewers noted, for the prices you can probably find similar items elsewhere. I did buy a nice table/stand there, once. It wasn't cheap, but it was perfect for what I needed and I could not find one after looking around at other places. Odd tip - I have noticed that when they have a sale, their enormous wall mirrors are not badly priced. So, if you need a mirror, you might check them out. Also, be careful on sales items to make sure you understand the return policy. read more

When Kitchen Kaboodle had its flagship store downtown, it was the premiere place to go in Portland for kitchen supplies, home decor and furniture. I registered there for my wedding and outfitted much of my first apartment from them. The ride up the escalator from the street was filled with anticipation. I don't know what has happened to the brand since then but they've lost their identity somwhere along the way. The stores are just rooms with stuff on shelves. There's no prestige, no presence. The pricing system makes no sense. If everything is always 20% off, that's not really a cost savings. It's just openly marking merchandise up to then seemingly mark it down. The staff is friendly enough but not particularly interested in, much less passionate about, quality cookware for quality food. Lately I only begrudgingly came in because they're the only store within walkable limits which carries a good selection of Soda Stream syrups. But after today I will have to find an online source. I stopped by for a re-up and they already have both Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations on display. It's mid-August! Maybe because the company knows their days are numbered they're celebrating early? It's just too much for me. Too much for not nearly enough. read more

Kaboodle is an overpriced yuppie haven for people who need more stuff. That's not entirely fair, actually, a lot of times the KK is the only place to get certain items, like egg rings and special tart pans. But most of the stuff there is so expensive it makes me run for the door. There's furniture as well, but it's generally tasteless and I've never felt a great need to inspect it further. Also, I really hate it when corporate stores misspell their titles. read more

I needed a new coffee maker and some gadgets for my kitchen. I was on my way to Fred Meyer, but decided to go out of my way and stop at Kitchen Kaboodle. Walked up to the door and found both doors propped open. In I walked to start browsing, but NO. A clerk yelled, "WE ARE NOT OPEN YET, we open at 10am." Okay, but the doors are propped open, and it was less than 5 minutes until 10am! But a rule is a rule. So I left and never went back. Too bad, you might have a better selection but your clerk and store hours suck. read more

I've always had great experiences here. I stopped by a couple months ago with my boyfriend and looked at knives with him. Timothy helped us and showed my hun a bunch of different things. Timothy sussed out his knife skills politely and explained why some knives were better for the average home chef and others were appropriate for someone, like my boyfriend, who knows what he's doing and how to care for them. He's obviously passionate about the lines KK carries. I stopped in yesterday, found Timothy, and it was like that conversation had happened an hour ago. He remembered all of the preferences and techniques they'd talked about and he helped me pick out a knife that rounded out our collection. I'm pretty indecisive with purchases and he was really patient with my questions. I'm totally willing to admit that I'm really intimidated by purchasing knives and trying to figure out what my kitchen-guy would want. I'm writing this while he is prepping a pork shoulder and practically giggling about how great his new 8" Chef is and what a great birthday gift I found. Stellar customer service at checkout, great organization, and well educated staff. Such a gem of a store! read more

I live a block away from this place. Kinda dangerous, since I do really like looking at kitchen stuff, but great when trying out a new recipe to realize you don't have the right pan/cookie cutter/etc to accomplish it successfully.

Also, 'tis the season: patio furniture has sprung up out on the sidewalk for you to peruse! Patio season! read more

The Kaboodle is an upscale kitchen store that can occasionally be overpriced, but it's an awesome place to get unusual cooking items. Wandering through the baking section it's fun to imagine making all sorts of goods. They have just about everything you could need in a variety of sizes and shapes. Whenever I get a baking itch I meander up to Kitchen Kaboodle and cruise for a hot item--pastry cutters, yeah! Bundt cakes, woohoo! Tart pans, funny shaped whisks, and the jewel in the crown of my baking collection--A SQUIRREL SHAPED COOKIE CUTTER! The rest of the store is occupied by glassware and furniture. The glassware is a great deal, and frequently on sale. The furniture is pretty pricey and not that original. read more

Love love love Kitchen Kaboodle -- very dangerous place for me to shop. I subscribe to their newsletter, and when they highlight a cool kitchen gadget I have to stop by. The parking situation in Irvington is a bit of a pain, but I usually don't have a lot of problems finding a spot. This is the place I go when I want to spend money on something for my kitchen that will stand up to use and abuse. read more

The Broadway store is far superior in customer service to the one in NW. I was shopping at a different Kitchen Gadget store and after two visits they still didn't restock what I had wanted. Oh they called a sister store and found one for me and I could drive to Lake O to get one. No thanks. I get into Kitchen Kaboodle on line and ordered all I wanted and in three days my order was in right at the location I wanted. So this place will now get my business when I need Kitchen gadgets. Thank you. read more
