I'm a sucker for a good kitchen supply store. This one is stuffed to the eyeballs with a plethora…read moreof gadgets. The real drawback is having to sift through containers of stuff to find exactly what you're looking for. Organized, it aint. That said, I enjoy their selection of serving ware from bowls and platters to demi spoons and cake plates. If you can't find the correct number of something, just ask. They seemingly have a lot of extra inventory in the back. It can seem like an odd collection; but if they have what I need, it makes me so very happy.

This place has been a long standing favourite of mine.

All your cookery, tupperware and plastic vegetable needs will be satisfied here. More than that, it has a terrific range of cheap household goods, kitchen gadgets that you didn't know you needed until you saw them, saucepans, knives and more. Family run and super friendly, we once had every single hoover bag out from behind the counter trying to find the one that looked like it had a picture of my ailing vacuum on it... Budding domestic God and Goddesses will have kitchenalia overload. This is a great place to visit if you are setting up home on a budget & perfect for students. Best range of cookie cutters in hood.

Perhaps not the best place if you have a particular item in mind, but it is certainly good for browsing and kitchen-gadget gifts. A smal selection of items I saw today: -Silicon ice cube moulds in fun shapes -Pyrex and enameled baking dishes -Cookie cutters and stamps -Cute mugs -Mason jars -Garlic peeling gadgets -Small, stylish food storage containers -Silicon spatulas in fun colours -Shot glass and science-style measuring cups -Baking moulds in a variety of goofy shapes -Buddha butter dish This kind of thing. Certainly not inexpensive, but about what you'd expect from a small, privately owned store on Columbia Road.

It seems like anything you want for your kitchen, with the exception of white goods (!), you can get here and they stock a wide variety of brands from generic porcelain, modern Joseph Joseph to classic Tala. It is a bit cramped but that goes without saying on Columbia Road and they pack a lot in and always have a lot of people browsing. So go in here before you buy your bouquets and bay trees.

My favourite CK shop for sure!
