Another master class by Jamie Aquino! I've been eyeing her Farm to Table class for a couple years and finally had the chance to attend with my dad. This class is great because you also get a trip to the Kendall Yards Farmers Market where Jamie breaks down what's in season and an ideas for how to use various ingredients. You shop along with her as she picks out the main ingredients for the class and have time to shop yourself before getting started with the actual class back at the Kitchen Engine. Her classes and dishes are vegetarian and plant-based so you leave with nutritious and delicious recipes. My only disclaimer is that this class (and really any class) will be challenging for those with mobility issues. The walking involved at the market with this class and the bar stool seating for the 3-hr class was difficult for my father, who has mobility issues. That said, he has a blast. Just a callout so you know what to expect. read more

Kitchen Engine I love you! I'd just arrived in Spokane and was wandering aimlessly with my man when we wandered into the old flour mill building. Lo and behold, there was one of the best kitchen gadget ships I've ever experienced combined with a cafe combined with a cooking school. This place is seriously the best of three worlds. I was able to buy some loose leaf tea for my daughter, the cortado was DELICIOUS, and they had some very specialized kitchen tools o haven't seen anywhere else (pizza scissors that double as servers!) if you're a foodie, a chef, or just someone who likes good espresso, this is the place to stop in. Plus, my honey forgot his water bottle when we ordered coffee and the baristas were so kind to have set it aside for us when we later returned. LOVE this place. read more

Who doesn't love a cooking gadget store? Some good deals and some pricey options. Also- classes. Fun!

SOME cooking classes are amazing and others...not so much. I would never recommend the sourdough brownie class. Even though it's a 'teaser class', the was no content to entice me to come back and not worth $25 to throw ingredients in a bowl and mix. No cooking instruction, no jokes or entertaining presentation and no personalization. The recipe was straight from any online recipe website and had zero variations, frosting or any takaways unique to the instructor. The take-and-bake-at-home sample was a single size brownie - I'm not kidding its like 2"×4". I was sad we didn't even get to taste the brownies prepared in class. Zero brownie tasting or samples of other goodies this guy might make in other classes ...the take home and bake brownies were not that good. This turned me away from Kitchen Engine - it was a terrible 'teaser'. Take any class from Jamie! She is amazing! She actually teaches you cooking skills, is very entertaining and I could not have loved her class more! My family loved the sample dinner I brought home from her class. Thanks, Jamie! read more

Yesterday proved to me once again the importance of buying local. Purchased a coffee grinder a while back, while in the store we saw it was the exact same price on-line. Not wanting to wait, wanting to buy local we purchased in. The coffee grinder got jammed, tried, and tried to clear it, on-line videos, etc. Needing our AM coffee fix we brought it to the store. A very friendly lady cleaned in out and gave us tips on keeping it grinding away. What if we bought on-line? read more

Great selection of high end cooking supplies and knives. Knowledgeable staff and vary friendly. I enjoy looking at all the teas and trying what they have out for ppl to try. read more

Ok I wish there were more places like this. Its small but has a ton of stuff from gourmet cookware to kitchen electronics. They also have a lot of boutique fresh DOMA coffee and an amazing tea selection. I LOVE the TEA! They do a lot of demos here as well, towards the back of the store (even classes if I remember right) They don't carry any junk products, anything I've bought here is holding up well unlike big box store cheap stuff. I like that they carry Le Creuset products (the real french stuff). If you are looking for any kitchen gadget, please check this place out as they probably have it! read more

In the spirit of improved wellness, on our daughters' recommendation we invest in an air fryer, we headed straight to Kitchen Engine. Locally owned unique array of quality cooking tools and kitchen accessories. I love just walking in the door, a secret gardens of culinary possibilities. A month or so ago I discovered the ESPRO French press, one for my husband who needs to go half decaf and one for my love of dark roast. Every morning is a Zen experience and the coffee stays hot in the well crafted stainless steal press. Back to the air fryer, after deliberation, I selected the combo, a lid that sits on top of a pressure cooker/slow cooker, a that could transform our enjoyment of fresh veggies with enhanced delectable texture prepared in a lighter amount of cooking oils. Unfortunately, in spite of the instruction, recipes, video guidance I struck out 3 times. Undercooked or over cooked with burnt edges I was left frustrated and defeated. I decided I must return it along with the Multi-cooker. Understandably, this presented a dilemma somewhat unique to a small locally owned business. I had used the equipment. When I examined the lid, the unit appeared to be off center. They directed me to the company. After exchanged communications and some frustration, the issue was resolved. When we returned to finalize the transaction the staff was gracious, respectful and supportive. We appreciate the quality of their kitchen tools and equipment and the care they offer aspiring good cooks. read more

This local store is AMAZING. You can find a great mix of local made goods and quality national brands. Everyone is super helpful and they little coffee stand inside has amazing tea and yummy snacks. Highly recommend for gift shopping g and for furnishing your own kitchen. read more

We love visiting the Kitchen Engine. It's a great kitchen store with very knowledgeable staff members. My husband talked to one gentleman for about 45 minutes and then bought a siphon to make his coffee. They have complementary coffee that you can try, and it's quite tasty. also, once the staff learned we were from out-of-town they made several recommendations of places to see and good places to get coffee. read more

Cooking classes hosted by 10 different chefs! Great gifts! Fun to browse and find the next great tool to help you master the art of not eating frozen pizza every night. Impressive selection of spices, pans, cookie cutters, and things I don't understand because I eat frozen pizza too often. They are located next to the Spokane Arena in the Flour mill building. Lovely selection of cast iron products! read more

I'm not rating for prices... They are what they are...although once I bought wusthoff shears from them at a lower price because I showed them what a vendor in Amazon was selling them for... So maybe they do price Mach... Anyways great staff, they usually have coffee or tea to sample. Also they do fun culinary classes. Their back room is a kitchen where special guests come in and for a fee you can take a lesson in how to make a particular dish and many times get to make it there yourself! Like a local Williams-Sonoma. Culinary/kitchen items to buy or to look at, but I'm telling you the kitchen engine has some fun cooking utensils & gadgets hat many stores do not like Williams- Sonoma. Whether you are a cook or not I find this store is fun to walk into and even simply browse if not impulse buy that ridiculously priced but beautifully designed and functional Peugeot pepper grinder!!! read more

The Kitchen Engine - Kitchen Engine at The Flour Mill - Cooking Classes Near Me - Spokane, Washington

We have been to the kitchen engine multiple times and made purchases each time. We've spent hundreds of dollars here. The last two times we have gone the employees were very unpleasant about wanting to validate our parking. The previous time (beginning of April 2017) they did not validate and we had to pay. Yesterday, April 20th, they did not want to validate and we had to insist(!!) so they only gave us a half hour. We spent over $20 each time, which is twice the amount you have to spend here to get parking validation. On April 20th, we had five minutes left on our parking validation from another store and the employees told us that if we "hurried" to our vehicle, we wouldn't have to pay. We let them know we wanted to continue looking around and take our time. They kept pushing back trying to tell us that the "next" place we purchased something from could validate our parking before accusing us of planning on leaving The Flour Mill and going elsewhere. Two employees teamed up to try to get us to leave without getting our parking validated. Finally they gave us the minimum amount possible and were very surly about it. We purposely came to this store as a repeat customer to purchase items that we *could* have bought on Amazon, cheaper and with prime shipping, but we wanted to give our money to a local business. And now The Kitchen Engine is arguing with me on facebook and trying to Mansplain "why" -- and apparently has blocked me from their page so I can no longer respond. All very negative actions and have definitely firmed that we will no longer be spending our money here. Some tips for customer service - since whomever is the doing the social media obviously needs to have some remedial customer service training: You should LISTEN, APOLOGIZE, and FIX. Not mansplain or gaslight. What would have been so hard about acknowledging the issue, apologizing sincerely, and assuring us that a chat would be had with employees about being gracious about parking validation? You even said on Facebook that the minimum amount to spend there was $10. If I spend $20 there and ask for parking validation, I should get it with no questions asked, and cheerfully instead of the employees being all surly and argumentative. You should be jumping up and down with joy that a repeat long term customer took time out of their day to let your company know there has been a repeat issue with attitude from your employees. Most people will just not come back without saying anything - so you won't know you have a problem. I guess you don't want our business. read more

One of my favorite local places! Prices are very competitive to chains and it stays local! Plus if you love kitchen gadgets from cast iron to espresso machines this is just a fun store to take in! read more

Consistent, knowledgeable, and friendly service every time I come in. They have a great selection of products and I can't wait to try a cooking class with them! read more

Nice kitchen shop; good service and reasonable prices. They've got just about anything you may need in the kitchen. They also offer cooking classes and I'd imagine discounts on their products if you were to take a class. read more

Melissa sold me a knife today and I couldn't be happier with it. She steered me in the right direction and was friendly and knowledgeable. I'll be back for all my kitchen needs! read more

Sheesh. I rarely leave a shop in Spokane as encouraged as I left the Kitchen Engine today. For the past four months I've been trying to resolve an issue with my espresso machine directly through the manufacturer. The experience was beyond frustrating and disappointing. I spoke with Eric at the Kitchen Engine, and 10 minutes later I left with a tangible solution to a problem with a machine I didn't even purchase from him. This helpfulness was consistent w what my husband experiences when he visits the store, more frequently than I. Additionally, they have a beautiful and affordable selection of standard and unique kitchen wares that add function and beauty to food prep. Grateful to have this place in town! read more

Everything you ever wanted in a kitchen store. If you go you will find things you never knew you needed plus all the ones you did. To top it off the staff is always friendly and helpful. A place where even the entry level cook can feel at home along side the pro's. read more

Love this shop. And it does feel good supporting this local business. And the Big Brand 'W&S', their customer service can't compete with the welcome friendly attitude at Kitchen Engine. SO MANY THINGS I WANT THOUGH!!!! read more

I'm really happy I came into the kitchen engine. Nice looking store with a wide array of kitchen items, pans and gadgets that are fun just to look at. Very helpful staff. I was looking to replace older Calphalon pans and learned about Spokane's own Lloyd pans. They've been great. My wife loves how light they are. They conduct heat well, are non-stick and sell for a good price. Deals often abound. The other day I found they had a super special on a Wusthof classic 6" chef's knife, selling it for half the usual price. Now I've got to put this good cookware to use and take one of their many classes. A real Spokane gem. read more

Guys get gift cards for Father's Day from Lowes or Home Depot, well my gift cards are from the kitchen engine! Spectacular place, I was a William Sonoma fan but the kitchen engine is way cheaper, I like the people who work there way better, overall just spectacular. I even buy my coffee there. They sharpen knives for $1! This place is kitchen play land! read more

The BEST customer service ever. I live in Seattle now, but my family still lives in Spokane so I frequent the shops there and my kitchen accessories for Christmas were purchased here. Unfortunately, the wrong attachment for my kitchen aid was purchased - turns out not my mom's fault, but the Kitchen Aid itself- through three swaps and finally a door delivery - my whisk fits perfectly! Thanks and I will definitely shop here when I'm in town. Small businesses have what large ones don't....an owner and management that want to help the customer so that they leave satisfied and return. read more

I used to live in Spokane and loved going to the Kitchen Engine for a number of kitchen necessities. First, if you thought that maybe somewhere in existence was a gadget to peel your garlic, hull your strawberries, chop your herbs (not a knife! that's old news), and you were just not sure where to find it - Kitchen Engine is the answer. With every gadget imaginable as well as the greatest selection (to my knowledge) of DOMA coffee and loose leaf teas you will leave happy. I love DOMA coffee and still order it in bulk, whole bean from the Kitchen Engine when I am in town or have a family member head my way from Spokane. Additionally, the staff is very knowledgeable and the return policy is completely hassle-free. My husband and I purchased a manual coffee grinder and it didn't get the grind quite right for our particular brewing method. No problem! We were able to bring it and select a grinder that fit our needs a little better. Another thing I love is the free samples! Coffee samples are always available when I have gone in. It's nice to grab a mini cup and sip on it as you browse the store. They also sample a great variety of olive oil and vinegar - of which I can't get enough. I could go on and on but rather than keeping your eyes glued to reviews all day just take my advice, read no more and head to the Kitchen Engine. Then you can make up your own mind. read more

Found some handy items for our kitchen. Handy plate grabbers work well from the microwave or oven. And great little trinkets to keep bread bags closed without using those pesky little plastic tabs or twist ties. read more

We purchased a nice coffee-maker almost a year ago. After struggling with it because of the type of coffee we drink (not a default of the machine), the Kitchen Engine took it back and replaced it with a machine that would better suit our needs. We will always shop here for kitchen needs. read more

I was so happy to find The Kitchen Engine! The inventory is amazing, if you have a passion for cooking or coffee this is the one stop shop in Spokane! Home espresso machines you cannot find anywhere else around town. Extremely knowledgable staff! read more

The customer service is stellar. The people are knowledgeable about accessories, equipment, tea, salt, etc. and they will drop everything to help you. They carry quality things at competitive prices and even small things like paper tea bags and other small items I can't find in Spokane. They hold many classes that look interesting though I haven't tried one. Just happy they're here in town. P.S. They sharpen your knives gratis! read more

I have been into this store several times with always good service, expert advice and great merchandise. Awesome place to spend time.

Wow! What outstanding service we received from Eric during our purchase of an espresso machine and the accessories. They are very knowledgeable and are willing to share their knowledge without making you feel like you have to make a buy. Having customer service is worth paying a small amount more than going on the Internet with this type of purchase. Thank you read more
