It was like walking into some pinterest version of my dream home. Giftwares for the whimsical, light and airy, modern-bohemian-hipster person in your life (or yourself), this store had so much that I would want, including the serving bowl size versions of the dish set I already own.

But, then again, it also is reasonably priced, which makes it a better version of Anthropologie in my books.

This store is the first foray by Alessi in Canada. They do sell their stunning designs at some…read moreother stores but this is the first company owned store here. A friend of mine who likes their kitchenware and is more of a collector of their flatware wanted to buy a set as it was not sold in the non company store. The sales person was helpful and even told us of the promo that they have if one buys a 6 or 12 place setting collection. The store itself is functional and has decent display area. Location is prime and will goes with the product/price range they have. If you are interested in design and would like to see a modern take on regular everyday items for that alone I would suggest you visit this store.

This store is gorgeous. It has so many luxurious cooking items. It's sleek and modern and fancy…read more It's definitely somewhere you can go to and buy a gift for your friend if they love cooking or need something extra special for their kitchen. You could also splurge on yourself and get something really nice like fancy measuring cups and whisks. The only thing I've ever bought here was a cookie cutter in the shape of a ginger bread man for christmas cookies I was baking for some friends and family. It was a very normal cookie cutter but it cost me around 3$. I'm not sure what the base price of a cookie cutter is but I did feel like this was a bit more expensive than I thought. Obviously, some items can get quite expensive but I feel like the quality makes up for it.

Talking to the staff, they told us that many of the products they carry might not be the cheapest, but they are quality made and they will last a long time....be grocery carts, cutting boards, knives, china, etc. Very nice friendly and helpful people in here.

Triple checked the date and time on my phone to make sure I wasn't imagining things. The selection is decent, although nothing that can't be found elsewhere, and frequently for less $$ online. Still, I'm fine paying extra and crossing town to shop a local small business vs the internet juggernaut that needn't even be named. Had a ten-dollar item in hand but had come to make specific purchases that would have amounted to hundreds. I've shopped there before, but I won't again, sadly.

The only thing I was slightly disappointed with from here was a rose scented candle which turned out to not be that rose-scented. Stick with the homes goods, I'd say and you'll be golden.

If you are a foodie and purveyor of kitchen utensils then this place is akin to a bakery for a sugar junkie. A plethora of gadgets, kitchen tools, knives and everything to make you the next Michelin starred chef or make you feel like one! The beauty of this store is it is fun to peruse. If you are looking for one item it's their hope you will find a few or more to compliment your arsenal or collection of kitchen gadgets. It's a great place to come for a Office Secret Santa exchange or gifts for your mother in law who likes to cook. Prices here are reasonable. Some items are a bit on the high side but quality is in the mid grade to higher end. I'm always a bit cautious when walking around in here as there appears to be quite a bit of breakable and delicate items. I always feel like I'm walking around a museum with expensive artwork/breakable items and you should be mindful and walk with caution. Their closest competition would be Quincalliere Dante in little Italy. A good 10-15 min walk away but Dante has some different items. If you have time check out both of them if you are shopping for kitchen items. If in the Marche this is a good convenient option.

The shop is tiny and cluttered and so a little kitchen claustrophobia can occur for those who suffer from such things, for myself it's a certain kind of restful to be bumbled along through narrow aisles imagining the many stylish ways I could be chopping, grinding, whisking and peeling things. If you look closely there is a fairly good price range here, and the staff are sweet and helpful and always seem to be delightedly opening up boxes of new kitchenware delivery around the front cash, wondering where on earth they'll find the room. But somehow they always do.

I'm writing here as a last resort to tell you about Gloria, the franchisee at the Stokes store on…read morePlace Alexis Nihon. I bought a percolator there on June 22nd, and when I used it, it leaked constantly, even when properly closed. When I tried to return it to the store on June 25th for an exchange, the franchisee refused to take it back, saying it wasn't defective. She insisted I couldn't return it because I had only used it once. When I pointed out that the receipt authorized exchanges, she started yelling at me and called the police. This traumatic experience has left me with a very bitter taste in my mouth regarding Stokes stores. I would like a refund or a percolator that works properly. It's not too much to ask. This branch is best avoided.

They have a wonderful selection of flowers and plants. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out they had a bunch of burrow tails that I had been looking for for some time. I've purchased a few plants form them, most being reasonably priced or even on the cheaper side. I've only had one I was a tad surprised at the price tag on it, However it was well worth it. The plant is blooming and growing nicely. They give you tricks and information on how to best care for your plant. I've also had them order plants for me as well and they usually come in within that week if not the next. A huge bonus is the store is they happily serve you in either French or English regardless of their mother tongue. It's very refreshing.

I started to follow the flower shop's Instagram. The flowers are perfect to decorate any events. It has this beauty of antiques or rustic kind. Finally, I come by which isn't far from where I live! So PERFECT! It's a small shop but it so beautiful. The service from the florists are top notch. They are such sweethearts. I got a bouquet of flowers with a vase to give my pregnant friend who is leaving for her maternity leave. The florist was nice to help me to pick the flowers and made this sunny summer kind of bouquet. Seriously, I wanted to keep for myself. Overall, this place highly recommended to true lovers of flowers.
