For a certain type of person, one who likes to cook and who has a dull child's understanding of…read morepersonal discipline and responsibility, a store like Chef City is the kitchen supply equivalent of a cocaine emporium, where the offerings are enticing, expensive, addictive, and ultimately, unable to permanently satisfy one's urge. It's me. I'm that person. And that's why I've shopped at Chef City for years. Chef City has been there for me when I needed a good knife; a deep-fryer; a set of mixing bowls; and an 80-quart stock pot with a basket, for boiling crawfish. But "need" has played a very small part in my relationship with the place. Just as no one needs cocaine, I don't need most of the very cool stuff that Chef City sells. Nonetheless, I'd buy a lot of it, just to have it, and the fact that I don't is less a result of rational thought than of my fear of damaging of my marriage. The store doesn't always have what I want, but the staff is always accommodating, and, adorably, when I show up with a difficult-to-meet requirement, I get the sense that they really hope they can help. "Adorable." Yep, that's what I said. And I promise you that no one has ever referred to anyone at Amazon - from Bezos to the delivery driver - that way.

Title: Unprofessional and Time-Wasting Experience…read more I visited Metro Wholesale SD for the first time, intending to open a wholesale account. Instead of assisting me on the spot, they asked me to email my business information and seller's permit. I did as instructed, but never received any response. Since I got no reply, I had to visit again, only to be told that they don't want to work with Amazon sellers due to past bad experiences--specifically, people coming in, scanning everything, and leaving without purchasing. If that was their policy all

Allow me to add to the 5 star reviews…read more.. The good: * Amazing service! The owners are always there serving you and controlling the experience. They love what they do and it shows! * Coffee is fantastic. Espresso extracted perfectly every time. They roast their own and they do it well. Highly recommend a bag of coffee for home. * Fantastic chai! * The location - I want it to be own little secret. The street is quiet, the seating is covered, and at 7a, you get the perfect morning sunshine on your face in front of the shop. Perfect place to sit and read a book or coffee with friends. What could be better: * Wish they were open later * No decaf espresso (yet...!) Verdict: * Have you ever wanted to find a coffee shop that knows coffee as well as a pretentious, snooty coffee shop without the pretentious, snooty experience? With a local, neighborhood, "where everybody knows your name" kind of feel? Well, welcome home. I come here even when I don't need coffee just to enjoy the shop and the people. This is in my top 3 coffee shops in SD, for sure.

I recently purchased a barrel sauna from SDI Factory Direct and couldn't be more pleased. Their…read moreprices beat everything I've seen out there. I'm even more impressed with how they are extremely responsive to calls and texts. From both the owner and the installers. They were with me the whole way; from purchase, to delivery, to setup. I was always kept updated. The sauna was delivered around 5PM on a Friday and during setup, one of the installers noticed one part of the front wall panel was incorrect. Before I knew it, the installer was on his way for a replacement. I live in La Mesa and could not believe that the installer drove all the way back to San Carlos, to pickup up the correct part, and drove all the way back to La Mesa (on a Friday evening), just so I could have my sauna installed that day. They stayed late to make sure everything was installed correctly. Now that's customer service! The quality of my sauna is exceptional. Very well made, comfortable and should last for years. The heater was included and is of a top brand. I will definitely do business with this company again.

I recently came in for 2 more sets of sunbrella cushion covers, which are also a huge bargain compared to anywhere else. The furniture they sell looks exactly like the stuff at Costco. They all so carry bbq's and lots of other cool stuff. Do your wallet a huge favor and come in to see their selections. We bought two separate sets, 11 pieces in total and we still got it for less than what one 5 piece set would have cost us at other stores. Plus each set comes with two sets of cushion covers.
