Here you'll find the typical kitschy-kitchen gear perfect for the avid home cook or stocking stuffers for the holidays. It's well thought out and reflects the bubbly and sweet personality of the lady who owns the store. She is exceptionally friendly and welcoming and REALLY eager to help you find what you NEVER thought you'd even need. The conversation only got more interesting when she found out about my culinary background. What really hooked me is the selection of olive oils, teas, and roasted coffee here. This was *the* aspect that distanced them from just being another culinary shop. You have a reason to come back not just for more toys BUT to actually fill up on unique oil blends and NOLA inspired local flavor roasted coffee. The scent in the air from these roasts was heavenly and sweet! While it's obviously not cheap, you'll find much value in all the items that they have thoughtfully sourced. I definitely recommend a visit especially to those who consider themselves culinary enthusiasts. I'll be back. I'll definitely be back.

Have you ever seen the blue, tan, and white tiles that label the streets in New Orleans? This place offered numbers and letters to purchase individually. They also had tons of different tiles with decorations and pictures. I was drawn to the letter tiles as that is classic New Orleans to me. I choose a "J." The lady working asked if that was my initial. I told her yes and tried to guess my name. She wasn't successful but it was a fun game. She was friendly and had a great personality. I thoroughly enjoyed shopping there.

I love New Orleans and this shop, and my favorite keepsake is the tile shown below from Derby.

I hired Pokorn to do demo and framing on an interior condo renovation project. It is fortunate that…read moreI kept the initial contracts small. Thankfully, I wasn't stuck with them for the whole project. I have experience in renovation and historical restoration, and am detail oriented, and had high hopes for a successful professional relationship. On the plus side, they were always responsive to my communications, and seemed to understand what needed to be done. On the minus side, I don't know where to begin. All of the work, except management, on our project was handled by sub-contactors, not direct employees of Pokorn. Adding that additional layer of management inflated the cost of the job significantly. Too many generals, not enough soldiers. Their subs are of varying quality. For example, one subcontractor framed for a new closet in a way that partially obstructed an adjacent door because of a measurement mistake on the architect's plans. The sub didn't think "Oh look. Something's not right. I should ask how to proceed". They just went ahead and built it, even though the drawn plans showed no obstruction, necessitating tearing out the mistake and rebuilding. They also put the subfloors down in the bathrooms before the plumbing drain work was done. The plans clearly showed the fixtures being relocated within the rooms. Something else to tear out. When they removed the subfloor I saw that the bathroom vent duct for the bathroom below had very obviously been crushed (stepped on at the joist), which is why the bathroom vent below had no air flow. If the subfloor hadn't needed to be torn out, this air flow problem could have been difficult to diagnose and expensive to fix later on. Somehow all the generals didn't notice the substandard work. All these blunders would be comical if they weren't so frustrating. Pokorn did correct their mistakes after I pointed them out and asked them to, which is the only reason they got 2 stars. I should not have to do this work: it's their responsibility. Read their contract carefully before signing. It is written in a way that keeps too much power in their hands. They are strict about expecting payment within 72 hours of their submitting an invoice, even if they've screwed up and not yet corrected the work being invoiced. If you're late in paying, they can immediately stop work and require an extra $500 to start up again. You can make the payment "under protest", but then have to trust that they will fix the issue. To their credit, they always did, but I was upset that I had to trust a company that was messing up left and right. Why should this even have to happen in the first place? As is pretty standard, they ask for periodic payments as work progresses. They are the sole determiners of when a phase is substantially completed, which is not unusual, but ask for payment at a point when other contactors I've worked with (and I) would have considered the phase only partially completed. These examples do not exhaust the deficiencies or problems experienced during the short time I employed Pokorn. Let the buyer beware.

No major issues, but wouldn't classify it as "friendly" either. Overall, solid shop to waste a few minutes in on your mission to find the perfect souvenir...or kitchen towel!

Never use this company!…read more I contracted this company to install countertops in my home. They sent a crew that spoke no English. They did a terrible job. Huge gaps, terrible seams, crooked sinks. I complained. The company refused to cut new stone. They sent the same crew out again, with no translator. They attempted to make adjustments to the countertop in place. This created dust that filled my entire home. It did not fix the problems. They came back 3 times to make adjustments. Beyond the language barrier, the crew was very unprofessional. They took tools out of my garage and used them to complete work. Nothing was stolen but seriously you don't have your own drill? The company was terrible to deal with. We would call and no one would answer. We would go to the store and it would be closed during their posted business hours. We left messages and sent emails, and it would take days to get a response. The only thing they wanted to do was send out the crew who couldn't understand my complaints for adjustments. They acted like the work in the photos below was quality and that my wife and I had unreasonable expectations.
