Grace in the Kitchen is a kitchenware and gourmet foods store in Kanata…read more I went in in search of some scones because I was served some of their scones at my in-laws and they were delicious, but I went on a Friday and was told they only have them on the weekends :( I browsed around and they have lots of cool products, but they are pricey. They do have a clearance section towards the back of the store, but most of the stuff there was actually past its best before date. If you love gourmet stinky cheeses, they had lots! As for me, I'll just stick to brie, harvati and other benign to the nose cheeses thank you very much ;) Fun store to poke around. Lots of free parking.

Recently discovered this store and it is so cool. It's a kitchen supply store that has things for…read moreyour home, but also restaurant sized things (they had a huge wok that I could sit in, and a salad spinner the size of a window air conditioning unit). They also have chefs' uniforms and hats. Good if you're a real chef or if you want to dress up like a chef for Halloween, or for any other reason, lol. They had lots of Japanese Bento boxes, and some of those metal containers that Indian restaurants use to serve Thali. Lots of bamboo steamers too. They had beautiful lacquer boxes shaped like fish and boats that are used to serve sushi as well. The place is bright, clean, and neatly organized. I'm pretty sure it's a family run business because the couple (probably the owners) had their baby in a Jolly Jumper-like device behind the cash register (the baby was super cute by the way). Service was friendly. If you're looking for some kitchenware, give this place a try. Some of the more exotic and unusual things are expensive, but regular items are very reasonably priced. The store is in a strip mall, so there's lots of free parking. It's in the same strip mall as the newly opened Giant Tiger.

This is a review of WKS's outstanding customer service. I am doing so because so few companies show…read morethis kind of service and integrity. To keep it brief: * I saw an item on their website for which suppliers in US were out of stock * I placed order & PayPal converted the US dollars to Canadian currency * I get email from WKS that the item is actually out of stock...refund is issued * I get email from PayPal saying a fee of $8 was being assessed by them * WKS's website didn't say "out of stock", so WKS also refunded me the fee So, even though WKS didn't have to, they wanted to make it right by reimbursing me, a fist time customer, for the PayPal fee (which should have technically been absorbed by PayPal for an online sale that never actually took place). I will gladly buy something from this fine company in the future! Don P. Nov '22 Texas

Ok, this place was a bit of a surprise to me! First of all, this location has only been open for…read moreabout a month, and it's next door, or nearly next door to the "Bed Bath and Beyond" which sells very similar stuff. That's a bit odd, but you get to do your comparison shopping all in one location! Jeff S wrote a great and very informative review about the Orleans location of Jysk (thanks Jeff!) However, I do have to say that although he compares this store chain to Ikea, I am not a fan of Ikea, as I don't like the feeling of being herded through the store like so much cattle or sheep. You know the feeling: you can't walk in the door and march straight to the section you're looking for without following the sidewalk past a zillion other things before finding the item(s) you're looking for! This store is much like that, but a bit better. Ikea would have scored less than a 3-star from me. Sorry to you Ikea fans!! But this is just me... We wandered through the store just to see what they had to offer, and overall, I have to say that I was fairly impressed! First of all, we've been looking in all the local hardware stores for mirrors for 2 places in our house, and this place won out over everyone else, hands down! Not only did they have the exact size we were looking for (which I admit is a bit unusual) but these mirrors were also a fabulous price! We got these items for a fraction of the price the hardware stores were asking. LOVE IT!! I will come back occasionally to have a poke about.

I had a high-quality bathroom vanity with granite top installed several years ago, service was excellent and the work remains flawless. The showroom has a lot of nice setups and parts on display.

You can buy parts from their store or supply some yourself. Fees were reasonable, contractors were very polite and efficient.

The shower diverter, which cost $94 plus tax/labour, broke in just over 3 years. As a temporary measure, a cheap one ($30) installed on the wrong side of shower head for which I paid the labour of $113. With covid, gave them lots of time only to be told no replacement diverter for the correct side of shower head could be found. Wondered if owner knew what was going on, so mailed a letter to be opened by him only. No acknowledgement received after well over a month. So am left with a hand shower costing $265, a $94 diverter that broke, plus labour costs, which is not safe to use as installed on wrong side of shower head. I do prefer to give my business to local companies, but now it's sadly 'BUYER BEWARE'.

write a very disappointing review for the spectrum kitchen, add that kitchen cabinets uneven. doors…read morecrooked Spectrum Kitchen did an absolutely terrible job on my project, and I regret ever hiring them. From start to finish the workmanship was shockingly poor and the attention to detail just wasn't there. The kitchen cabinets are visibly uneven, and you can see it the moment you walk into the room. The doors are crooked, some don't line up with each other, and a few don't even close properly. It looks like everything was thrown together in a rush with no care for basic level or alignment. When I raised these issues, I did not feel taken seriously, and there was no real effort to make things right. For the amount of money spent, this result is completely unacceptable. I would strongly advise anyone considering Spectrum Kitchen to look elsewhere if you care at all about quality and professionalism.

Laurysen Kitchens, on Carp Road near the exit for the 417, has been in business since 1970, so they…read morereally know what they are doing. If you are looking for something better than a hardware store box kitchen (which would be fine in some circumstances, but sometimes you need something a little extra), this is a good place to look. Their displays are beautiful, and incorporate good use of space. It's those little, finishing touches that make such a big difference, such as: access to the back of a cabinet that divides rooms, like an island, or an L-shaped counter where the back is exposed to another room. We are looking for some way to add a little more storage to our house, specifically the kitchen, without losing the integrity of the space. We wandered around Laurysen looking for ideas; it would be very tempting to replace the kitchen entirely! I need to go back again, to look at the selection in the lower level. This is an excellent show room for anyone who likes to see things in person, as opposed to shopping from a catalogue.

The designer was fantastic and the functionality of our renovated kitchen is top notch…read more Unfortunately, Laurysen has been installing my kitchen for 7 weeks (it was supposed to take 2 days), and there are still a number of outstanding items ... with NO end in sight. Heck, I still don't have the correct nobs on my drawers (and I had NO nobs until I got pissy and they sent someone out to slap random handles on until they can get their act together)! Multiple days taken off work - and at times, for some guy to come out and literally do nothing ... seriously. Nothing. I would expect this from a low budget company, but Laurysen isn't cheap. 60% down payment over 5 moths ago to get it all started, and they WOULD NOT even unload the cabinets from the truck upon delivery without the next 30% deposit. I haven't even mentioned the 3 garbage cans (which I filled) of material that was left in my garage after installation. Love the look of the kitchen, but in hindsight, I would have negotiated the payment plan better to withhold 20-30% of final payment ... that might actually motivate this company to be a little more punctual with finishing its job.
