We needed a tissue holder and got one of the ones they had. I also got some sparkling sugar for baking. I'm pretty used to their prices so that's not new. I understand they have to pay rent so I'm happy to support a specialty store like them. Service is as good as the Scarborough location. I like the layout of this store better though.

That being said, I recently bought a couple containers that didn't end up working for my space and returned them the next day after using them for storing grains. The return was refused because of that and they were deemed unsellable despite the condition of the product being unchanged. On Independent Restaurant Supply's website they claim a 20% restocking fee on merchandise returns as their policy but seem to leave out any other clarification on their strict return policy in-store or on the website. Word of warning to future buyers to be 100% sure about your purchase before buying here as you will most likely be stuck with it if it's in any way used and according to their policy if it's untouched you'll still only get that 80% return

They make everything by hand, or it's imported from other artisans. I first stumbled upon them while searching for some local cortado glasses. We found the perfect ones at Ember and still use them weekly -- they're our favorites! We've returned a few times, and the staff is always kind and welcoming. Our last find was an oil bottle dispenser. We had wanted a special one for a while, but couldn't find the "right" one until we saw one at Ember. I hope they stay in business for years to come!
