While the space is tight, The Wood Spoon does a great job of filling it with all the necessities. Not only do they sell every kitchen gadget on the market, they also have an amazing selection of aesthetic pieces. Including bowls, plates, glasses, or any decor you might need for the home. I visited during the holidays and the store was absolutely magical. They had a huge selection of festive goodies and ornaments, making it one of the best spots for picking up. a one-of-a-kind gift. I couldn't imagine a better place to snag a trinket for the hostess in your life. I ended up taking home a number of seasonings and sauces to enjoy over the holidays. I specifically loved the Yozu Bourbon rub!

The Wooden Spoon is one of my go-to kitchen stores when looking for a particular smaller item or…read moresomething creative to use in cooking/baking. Growing up, it was a store my grandma enjoyed, my mom enjoyed, and my sibling (an older sister) and I enjoyed. As a family favorite across multiple generations, our visits could get to be a bit lengthy - and were always fun. The workers were consistently kind, and the interior was warm, well laid out, and without dust. Offerings included festive items during the holidays. It is one of few stores in my life I have gone looking over every item on the shelves on multiple different occasions because we were taking so long in the store. My first time doing this I was uncertain of how to approach it, though I was certain that I did not need anything. Then, going through the items, I found a few items I wanted that I had entirely not anticipated. This happened a couple times until the store became a fixture in my memory of where to go to looking for specific items/kitchen item genres.

Tons of cute items and many practical items at reasonable prices. I could spend all day in the store but due to COVID, they're requesting you limit your browsing to 30 minutes or less. Luckily they're extremely friendly and I was able to get all my questions answered from the variety of coffee related products to comparing the soda stream options. Especially with this year and the holiday season approaching, I highly recommend checking out Culinary Essentials for any dining related gifts or kitchen upgrades as the personal attention is so valuable and to support local businesses!

A delight for anyone who enjoys cooking. We spotted several items that would be great gifts... After talking with the very nice owners, I decided to buy my son (who lives in Ballard) some Christmas presents. We presented them with the problem that we would be returning to southern California, where my son will join us for Christmas. It didn't make sense to fly stuff down that he would then have to fly home. They suggested that I could buy the presents, I could give my son a card and the gift receipt, and he could collect the present when he came home. Genius! The owners put my gifts into a gift bag, topped it with crumpled purple tissue paper, and put it into the back to await my son's return.

Customer service was excellent, every associate greeted everyone and continued to myself themselves available for assistance throughout the duration of browsing.

The discounted price led me to purchased myself a Heritage deep baker to pair with my pumpkin oven just in time for the holidays.
