I haven't heard of this store so I decided to look and I was pleasantly surprised. Aroma of a coffee shop was evident. Complimentary coffee was delicious. They specialize in gourmet kitchen items, popcorn and candy. All coffee is bulk bean but they will grind as well Flavored and unflavored is their specialty and they sell by the pound and or pre packaged. Popcorn store is located in its own section which offers samples of both. Linda was very helpful and knowledgeable of the fudge and popcorn. Fudge sample was a banana cheesecake and a sherbet that was delicious, popcorn samples were cheesecake as well and spicy popcorn x3. This area smelled popcorn fresh. Pricey but sales were available in bundle. This is the only location . Rewards program is available . Great inventory . read more

Had to go back to the Chef's Shoppe for some more lemon balsamic vinaigrette. This is a must stop shop for all things kitchen, unique gifts and tasty treats. They have a wide variety of fresh ground coffees (by the pound so you can try several before committing), numerous oil and vinegar options, a tasting bar featuring specialty items to sample, assortment of candies by the pound, homemade fudge, and a plethora of fresh made popcorns. I was waited on by a young man named Charles, who was one of the friendly sales associates that I have encountered in a long time. He was very helpful and patient. He represented the shop well. read more

Always kinda crowded. Staff is great. Great variety in snacks and cookware. Highly recommend their popcorn read more

Very nice place to learn cooking and performing diner ect can't wait to go back again for once I experience was nice

You have to go to this shop! I think you'll find everything 'cooking' here. They have flavored olive oil with refillable bottles, yum! You have to see the adjacent candy/popcorn/fudge shop! Great staff, always available to help you. And a rewards program that's excellent! Don't miss this one!!! read more

I was able to find the tool I needed to make the spaetzle noodles for my jagerschnitzel and they let us pick a paper flower at checkout and got 20% off! read more

Wonderful place with amazing gift selections and the staff is amazing. I had never visited before so this was such a pleasant experience.

This store just amazes me every time I shop here. What impresses me most is the fact that it is privately owned. The merchandise is top of the line and they also have some unique and original gift ideas. Best of all, when I do shop here, I am shopping local. In addition to having every kitchen gadget, gizmo and cookware that you could possibly want, CS also offers fresh coffee and loose leaf tea. If you are in need of a snack, they've got you covered as well with their gourmet popcorn. They offer so many flavors, I can never leave with a couple junior sized bags of some of my favorite flavors. My most recent visit, I finally tried their in house made fudge. OMG - the Orange Dream won me over & I'm not a fan of fudge. It truly tasted like a orange sherbet and vanilla twist cone. The customer service here is also top notch. The entire staff is friendly and extremely helpful. Be ware of the ladies in the popcorn area, they like to offer samplings, which can lead to you buying more bags of the delicious and freshly popped snack. I wish they were closer to my home, but it is probably a good thing they aren't for my bank account. I'll be back? - When in E-ville. When: November 3 & 7, 2018 Why: Christmas Shopping read more

If I could I'd give this place a ZERO RATING. I stood in line to order some popcorn the kid waiting on people looks right past me and waits on the "white lady" behind me, takes care of her then tries to call me "sir" to wait on me I'm already walking out of the store. I don't play the race card but this definitely was the case here. read more

If you're a foodie or an at-home-chef, this place will be a sea of temptation for you! The first thing that hits you when you walk in is their delicious smelling coffee collection. The Christmas Cookie blend is my favorite year round, my aunt even sends it to me since I live out-of-state! In the main room, you'll find any kitchen equipment you might need- including Le Creuset and Lodge brand cookware. In the second room, you'll find great candy, popcorn, and fudge options. Make sure you get some free samples (including the coconut fudge)! Not only can you shop for yourself here, but I'm sure you can find a gift for pretty much anyone here- even if it's just a bag of Jelly Bellys. read more

has great gourmet popcorn and lots of other goods including home decor. employees are very nice and the stuff is good quality.

I wanted an Elephant cookie cutter and I figured this place would have one; they did! They actually had two styles! I love Elephants and I decided I wanted to make some Ellie sugar cookies for hubby's co-workers! They had just what I wanted. They have a huge selection of cookie cutters on the back wall. I also picked up a donut pan while I was there. I've been wanting to try making baked donuts. I love to cook and bake, so whenever I walk into this shop, my first thought is; I want one of everything! I could spend hours just looking at all the baking and cooking equipment and tools. I can't imagine them not having what you need or want. The selection is amazing! Like most of the other reviews say, if you love to cook, this is the place for you. I love that the products they have are high quality. They may be a bit more expensive, but I've learned, sometimes you get what you pay for. I bake a lot, so it's worth it to me to get the good stuff. Hubby bought me an XOXO cookie sheet from them and it's the best cookie sheet I've ever used! I refuse to use any other brand now! I love to come to this store and just look around even if I don't need anything at the moment. I can always find something I think needs to come home with me! I was surprised I hadn't done a review on this little shop. It was about time I took care of that! If you need a gift for someone who loves to cook, I would highly suggest coming here! Like I said earlier....just give me one of everything! :D read more

The Chef's Shoppe is a great specialty kitchen store. I recently bought a few items and returned one when I realized it wasn't dishwasher safe. Who wants to hand wash anything anymore? Not me. Anyway, the return process was pretty painless except the clerk kept explaining how easy it is to hand wash the pan I was returning. I'm not interested in getting dish pan hands! I would shop around for some of the items in the store. Their prices seem to be a bit higher than other stores in the area. Some of the items they carry are available at the local BBB at a lower price, especially with a 20% off coupon. I digress as I am known to pay more for service at a local business instead of a chain. However, there is a ceiling of how much more I'm willing to pay. In some instances, Chef's Shoppe's prices are above that ceiling. read more

Chef's Shoppe - Kitchen & Bath Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

This is a lovely little store, really. Pricing varies. Kitchen textiles, I find them to be a bit high. Some of those oven mitts and aprons you can find cheaper elsewhere. Overall, you're looking at Williams-Sonoma prices, but without the drive to Plaza Frontenac. A little cramped in the store, wish there was a bit more space. Staff is a bit young, so know what you're looking for, since they're unknowledgeable when it comes to the products. Although, there are a couple of older ladies during the day that do know their cookware. If you sign up for their email alerts, you know when they're going to have a 10% off everything in the store on Saturdays. Which helps if you're eyeballing a new Lecreuset dutch oven. Overall, I recommend this store to any closet gadget collecting women and cooks in general. read more

This is the place I come when I'm looking for unique kitchen or bar items. They carry some of the more high-end brands if you're looking for kitchenware that you can write into your will. Not only do they have everything for my kitchen and bar, but they sell fudge, popcorn, sodas (Jones, Excel Bottling), and gourmet ingredients. Pro tip: sign up for the email list to get the latest sales (5th Sat., etc.) read more

The Chef's Shoppe is a really high quality store for all your kitchen needs. They've got pretty much all the gadgets, pans, utensils, accessories, and on and on that you could possibly want or need in your kitchen. They've also generally got a good spread of products from top of the line to more cost effective options. They've also always got a nice assortment of seasonal products. If you are a home chef or baker, novice or expert, this place will be very helpful to you. They also sell various mixes like cheeseball and cake and bread mixes. Also they have spice mixes and all that jazz. All really good stuff. Tastiest of all, they've got fudge. Tasty, tasty fudge. Whenever we are in the area, we make sure to stop in and see what kitchen things we didn't even know we wanted or needed. read more

What an amazing store! When you walk in, you're immediately greeted by their friendly staff. Then, you realize that you're not just walking into any regular kitchen store. This store is truly a hidden gem. If you are at all serious about cooking, you'll love visiting this store. There is a gadget wall that has everything you can even imagine. There is a huge selection of cookware, ranging from Le Cruset to All-Clad. There is a display for the Big Green Egg grills and all the fun accessories. It's the perfect store for a wedding registry or anyone who just likes to cook. Holy popcorn! With over 70 varieties of popcorn all made in-house, I've truly never seen anything like it. As someone who lives in Chicago and has regular access to the famous Garrett's popcorn, I can truly say that the popcorn at Chef's Shoppe knocks the socks off Garrett's popcorn. While Garrett's popcorn often gets soggy and has a stale flavor after even a day, the popcorn at Chef's Shoppe remains fresh when sealed in an airtight container and still tastes fresh for days on end. Plus Garrett's has a greasiness that just makes it less appetizing. Personally, I love the dill pickle and beer flavored varieties, but the great thing about Chef's Shoppe is that there is literally something for everyone. The Chef's Shoppe is a must-have for me around the holidays because my friends and family love getting popcorn! In addition to popcorn, they have a huge selection of gourmet candy, homemade fudge, gourmet coffee, hot sauces, and much more. Love this place and can't wait to go back! read more

i live around the corner from this place. I have been in buying little things here and there. This past Christmas i was looking to buy my gf a set of wusthof knifes for a gift. I went in to the store and was helped by the owner. They were extremely busy because me like most guys were shopping the Monday and Tuesday before Christmas. She took alot of time and gave me a great education on the knifes and what made them worth so much more then others. I ended up buying a set along with some other extra knifes. after i got home with my perches i was curious what they sell for at online retailers. I always expect to pay more at these locally owned specialty shops but as long as its not double it normally does not bother me. After looking online i found out it was less here then the online retailers. I still br all my friends and family about how this shops pricing is better then online stores and the people working here are knowledgeable about there products and that alone is hard to find. Big thumbs up for these guys and keep up the great work. I have now been in the shop trying to buy things like champagne glasses or cutting boards before i go to a big box store. so take my advice. Go here first and leave with knowledge and the products you are looking for. Larry G read more

Places like this are the reason to shop local. They offer an extremely wide variety of products such as homemade fudge and popcorn, an entire room dedicated to candies, vintage style sodas, artisan olive oils, and every cooking supply you could think of. Everything they carry is quality and unique and to top it all off, the kindness and level of service of the employees is top notch. Even if you don't plan on buying anything, I highly recommend stopping in here. You'll walk out with a smile! read more

I love visiting here. The prices are a bit high but I love supporting local family owned businesses. They do have great deals on clearance items though. The staff is helpful and welcoming. The cake balls, gourmet popcorn and fudge are exquisite. This is a great place to find unique gifts for the cook in your family. read more

Lovely store to find unique gifts. Friendly staff. Nice to find a place to shop when you need just that item. Yes prices are a little higher than I want to pay - but then so are all the items in the Grocery store anymore. read more

What a place! I had their cake and popcorn yesterday which was amazing! I used to live in Chicago and consumed the famous Garrett's popcorn on multiple occasions and Cheffs Shoppe is actually better. I highly recommend them and will be returning in the near future. read more

The popcorn is the best I have ever had! People are friendly and rewards are awesome! I love to use them for gift exchanges, auctions, presents and just to munch on! Try it if you have not, you won't regret it! read more

I will no longer shop at the Chef Shoppe after a rather rude e-mail from what I'm guessing is the owner, Nancy Schneider. A newsletter was sent out that had a word the I thought Nancy had meant as wine and instead was typed wind, I made a small joke when I sent a personal e-mail back and even added LOL, trying to let her know that a mistake had been made. (Nancy had always been very pleasant, up to this point) Nancy responded back, "Yes I live auto correct and people who have nothing better to do with their time than to point out other peoples mistakes." This is a direct quote. I was floored, I sent a message back immediately to her telling her I was sorry and it sounded like I had offended her and I was just trying to help. I cannot believe a local store owner would be so utterly rude to a customer. Not the type of business I care any longer to spend my money. Word of mouth is the best advertisement. Very sad. read more

Love this place! Popcorn is amazing flavors seem endless! My favorites are the White chocolate pretzel, Beer cheese, Spicy buffalo & Jalapeño ranch twist! They have a bunch of fudge that smells great. And all kinds of nice things everyone dreams about having in the kitchen. Super staff! Clean store & usually have dip mix samples out! read more

OMG...the popcorn and fudge are to die for. And I love the cake balls. I had a great time in the store wandering through the aisles. It was a Saturday and really busy, but the staff was extremely helpful and directed me right to the items I originally came in for. Prices are much higher than Walmart or Target, but you get what you pay for. The quality and customer service are much better than a chain store. This store definitely doesn't do cheap. However, I will definitely be coming back again and again. I have my eye on some All-Clad pans. read more

Bag of Kernels. I have been going to this place for a couple of years and for the first time actually got a bag of Kettle Corn that had mostly kernles. Do not know why because they were really not that busy at teh time. Did not ever mind paying the brice for good Pop Corn, and still don't I would say just check before you leave to make sure you were not given the bottom of a barrel. read more
