They have gadgets and gizmos a plenty, they got who's it's and what's its galore...you want a self timing crock pot? They've got plenty, but who cares...wait I DO CARE! I accidentally discovered this slice of culinary gadgetry heaven when I went to the wrong sushi place. Thank goodness for mistaken adventures because I spent too much money in little time here buying mini meat cutting scissors, jello injectors, a mini tong and a French press. There was much more to go through but I was running out of time..which may have been a good thing because any loner, I could have bought the whole store. read more

Wrow! If ever a name was more appropriate for a business, it's this one! I see an acupuncturist nearby and arrived early for my appointment. I decided to check out this place as there were a couple of items I had been looking for and hadn't found st other stores. This place is stimulation overload! In a good way. You walk in and there are every kind of kitchen gadget and gizmo you can imagine. Definitely, a kitchen fantasy! I browsed the aisles just to soak in the variety and peeked over at the cooking class being held in the back corner of the store. I found some items I thought were the right items for my needs and was ready to check out. The lady at the cash register asked me a few questions about my purchase and came to realize I had the wrong items. She was very friendly and helpful! She took her time to explain exactly what I needed and even helped me find a less expensive version of what I needed. I can't say it enough times. This place has it all for your culinary kitchen needs! The staff is friendly and helpful and the prices are reasonable. As a bonus, they offer cooking classes on site! I'll definitely be back! read more

Kitchen Fantasy - Kitchen & Bath Near Me - Temecula, California

I was given a gift card for this store for Christmas, and when I walked in -intent to use it on a cast iron griddle, I was pleasantly surprised that they not only had exactly what I wanted, but much more besides. I have never experienced that at any store in the IE. Thinking that they would have a few gadgets and Kitchen Aids, I thought that my errand would be a short one. I ended up wasting quite a bit of time exploring the floor-to-rafters stock of everything from finger-ring peelers to industrial mixers. It was a bit like a fantasy...one that I hope to revisit soon. read more

One of my favorite shops. Their prices aren't that high. It is a specialty store. Staff is very helpful but not pushy. They offer cooking classes with Chef Dave. I think I could find any kind of gadget there. If not it can be requested. read more

Overall, the services and products this place provides are very good. The staff are always knowledgeable and ready to help. I took a knife skills class a month ago here and the atmosphere and lesson was amazing. However, I sent in my nice knife set for sharpening and they came back with new scratches. On two of them, it also appears as though the handle was touched to the sharpening stone as well, so it had a weird flat spot on it. In general, good selection of products as well as classes, but knife sharpening is not something I would recommend here read more

This place is horrible very unprofessional, and rude that's how I can describe my experience there.and to add the owner was selling toilet paper. read more

This place was great! We learned to make Mediterranean dishes, the Chef was amazing and her food tasted great. Easy, simple to make at home recepies read more

I've always been obsessed with kitchen tools and gadgets (though not quite as much as office supplies) and can get lost in the kitchen aisles of any store. As an individual, this store suited my browsing and random "ooh, I need this" needs. As a business owner and cake pop maker, Kitchen Fantasy has been one of the places I can find just what I'm looking for. Pastry blender? The best quality one I've found anywhere. Silicone spatulas? Yup. Oh, yes, and they sharpen knives. First off, if you're looking for a variety of cake or candy decorations then I would suggest Pila's down the street and off Jefferson. But that's not what Kitchen Fantasy is for. They are the go-to guys for high quality baking and cooking pans, cookie cutters, molds, rolling pins, spatulas, etc. Just today, I walked in and was thrilled to they have food handling gloves! One of the few items I'd been buying online but can now buy local. Some of their prices seem high but I am happy to pay a buck or two higher to support a local small business, than to buy from the craft chains, especially since I am a small business myself. Again, my chocolates and decorations I still buy elsewhere but I'll always return to the place where I could find just the right tool for personal and business needs. read more

They do have alot of stuff but customer service lacks. If you need something asap and live within 15 miles it might be worth going in. Temecula traffic sucks and they are in the traffic hot bed. Ordering from a supplier that ships is probably a better option. read more

Great food and so many cool little trinkets from so many types of places around the world little expensive but good quality read more

This is by far the worst customer service I've encountered especially coming from the owner/business manager Ernie. Two days prior to hosting an event at church I decided to buy a coffee warmer from this exact spot due to their special selections. The only ones this store had available at the time was an off brand, but decided to try out anyways despite my unsureness. Even after asking Ernie, during my first encounter that if I wasnt 100% sure about product after trying it, if I could exchange for a different product and he assured me with such confidence that there wouldn't be an issue and confirmed they had a 30 day guarantee exchange and return policy that is posted on their receipt. Fast forward to my event, poured hot coffee in warmer for my guests, 6 hrs later, coffee was cold. I was disappointed and felt comfortable returning product 3 days after purchasing back to store when then Ernie's demeanor change towards me, claiming that he knew the type of client I was, which I asked him to share those details with me. He continue to smirk and inspect product, claiming it had been used which I agreed. How else would I know if product fails. Maybe I inserted the coffee incorrectly which caused it not to stay warm, but he could care less to ask my concerns and slid the coffee warmer to the side of him with some force claiming that product was now useless, and that he would not be able to re-sell. I went on to ask him how the store kept inventory of products if that was the case, but declined to answer and so he grabbed the warmer and dumped in trash all while refunding me my full $35.00 dollars. I was in disbelief in how this store operates. All I wanted was to exchange product and his egotistical self got the best of him. I am very displeased with their business so that others are aware. That is what Marines do, when they encounter such poor behavior. Please share. read more

We do like this place, the selection is awesome, prices are good, 5 star rating. BUT customer service is where it's at. We felt rushed to get out, the lights were turned off on us before we made it to the door. That in itself was rude and spoke volumes. Therefore we will never shop here again. There are much cheaper kitchen supply stores out there. read more

My husband is very hard to shop for, so instead of getting him something he'd never use for Christmas, I took him to a cooking class here. He has wanted to make a beef Wellington for ages, and they just so happened to have a class for that. It was the perfect gift! The night of the class, I unexpectedly got off work late so we got to the class right as it was about to start. There were 2 seats left, but separated by 2 women. These women were extremely rude and refused to slide over 1 seat so my husband and I could sit together and even made snarky remarks as we sat down. It did not ruin our experience not to sit together, but it certainly put a damper on it. The class itself was great, the instructor was wonderful, but the experience because of those 2 rude women makes it so I can not give 5 stars. read more

I've always enjoyed classes and the hands on. From the very complicated to the simplest. WE had the ability to taste the food we made. The best part is I just followed the instruction's and was able to replicate the meal at home. much to my delight. My dinners were a success. It's wonderful to know with careful planning. We can make and create wonderful meals. read more

This store has almost everything, including high prices. They used to be my go to place for classes, but they raised their prices during the last few months and it makes the classes too pricey and not worth it. In most of the classes you only get to watch, not do. Don't get me wrong, you get to taste what is made, but the portions are small. As for their kitchen products, more than likely they'll have what you need. read more

This place is the adult version of Toys R Us! Wide variety of items, friendly staff, and comparable prices. I went in for one item and came home with six! Can't wait to try a cooking class! read more

SO MANY FIVE-STAR Reviews!! Because THIS is a FIVE-STAR kind of place...in Temecula, CA ! Just happen to wander by and decided to go in and just see if they might have the garlic press I have been looking for the last ten years!! BINGO!!! Well, maybe NOT just the exact brand/model, but THIS one will work just fine. The shop is packed with all kinds of kitchen goodies and gadgets and you could spend the entire day just looking through everything. read more

Last night I took the hands on sushi class and I have to say not only did I throughly enjoy it, I also walked out with a wealth of knowledge. The class was so well taught and everything was so well explained. I highly recommend anyone to take a cooking class here. It's well worth the time and you'll be happy that you did! read more

They have almost everything you could think of, they are a little pricey on some knives (wustof, shun) that's to be expected but I've found deals online via Amazon for cheaper. read more

They have everything you could possibly need for your kitchen. Pots, pans, gadgets, and everything in between for entertaining at really great prices. read more

Warning - do not buy an electric kitchen appliance from this store. We bought a Cuisinart food processor for $179. After just 4 weeks the spindle cracked so we took it back to the store to exchange it for a new one. First the clerk said they didn't have another one but my wife found one on the shelf. They still wouldn't exchange it and told us to deal with the manufacturer. "I think they're local" she told us. Well we had to ship it to Arizona ($20 freight cost on UPS) and wait six weeks for a replacement. We were happy with the machine and the price was fair but if the store doesn't stand behind the products they sell then there's really no point to shop there. read more

My husband and I have taken two classes through Kitchen Fantasy and both were great! We took an Island Party cooking class, and a Tequila tasting and Tamale making class. Both were $39 each, and we had a great dinner as part of it. I've always purchased hard to find items for my kitchen from them but the classes are a great deal! read more

I love stores like these. The associate was a little too pushy, but didn't ruin my experience here. Lotsa gizmos and gadgets to buy here.

I ordered some kitchen items online. They didn't have as many items in stock as I wanted so they called me and gave me an upgrade for the same price. Very impressed. read more

The owners, Ernie & Claudia, are very knowledgeable. They are always helpful and will special order anything you may need. After attending one of the cooking classes I purchased a set of high end knives, which I couldn't be happier with. The juicer and pizza stones have been great as well. As far as the cooking classes, they are so fun! The interactive instruction, the food, and the atmosphere makes for a fun night. We will be attending again-SOON! read more

Love this store! I always can find what I want (and more). Friendly service, knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with.

Had a great time at the chicken chicken chicken cooking class. Dave is an excellent cook. I will be going back to take more classes.

This is a neat store to pick up every possible gadget known to man! The staff are always super friendly and helpful! My only complaint is there is never the specific thing I am looking for, meaning they have lots of stuff but not exactly the kind of stuff that this place should have! read more

Kitchen Fantasy is definitely a fun little place to get unique items for your kitchen. They also do cooking "classes," but they're actually demonstrations. Don't go expecting any hands-on learning. If you need something special, definitely look at Kitchen Fantasy, otherwise you'll find better prices at Bed, Bath & Beyond, Target, etc. read more

Kitchen Fantasy always has what I'm looking for and the staff are very friendly and helpful. If you like cooking and you want some toys, you absolutely need to check it out. They also have very nice bags to carry your new equipment home in. read more

They have AMAZING selection and the PRICES are low/fair. They are a brick and mortar store, but I was surprised that their prices are competitive with places like Amazon. A few weeks ago I bought a 5" serrated Wustof Classic utility knife for $49.95. It sells for $80 at Williams-Sonoma and the exact same price ($50) at Amazon.com. I also love the knick-knack items only the most OCD kitchen/food lover would conceive of such as portable salt/pepper shaker or tiny scissors to throw in a purse for $2! It shows some thought and care on the part of the owners. A great local store to support. read more

Love, love, love this place... Always something new I absolutely love my garlic crusher, garlic skin remover and this crazy spoon that mashes avocados and also mixes simple drinks. GADGETS galore! You have to give them a try and the costs beat any-other place around. I am addicted... Oh yes the Dutch oven for camping is a must as well!! I can go on and on.... They also have a Kitchen school which I am dying to try "looks very cool" read more

Prices are moderate but they have a number of items that are hard to find at other places. They also do cooking classes. Definitely worth a trip to check out if you are a enthusiastic home cook. read more

Tonight was the first time that I had attended a cooking class and I could not ask for a better teacher than Dave. He explained every thing so a novice like myself could understand the process. I would recommend that anyone whose is interested in getting started in cooking or improving your cooking, take his class. read more

I stopped by the Kitchen Fantasy to just look at all the shiny things! I walked out with a wok. i have been looking at woks online and knew what I wanted. Kitchen Fantasy had the perfect wok for me. I decided to buy local instead of buying from out of the area, online shop. The staff in the store was wonderful and very helpful. The store is packed with all kinds of goodies and gadgets. I can't wait to go back! read more

It was a great experience, I paid for my moms first cooking class here. The chef and people there were playful and kind too, just the greedy man at the cashier. I don't know if this man at the cashier was an employee, or the manager. But the man at the cashier was RUDE. I went with my mom to the class, paid for her as a little gift but not for me (I, personally, don't like taking cooking classes). I left her at the kitchen station and walked around the store for about 20-30 minutes, went to check on her and listened to some of the stuff the Chef was saying... (important: did not sit next to my mom or anything, I was just standing there for about 5 minutes) Walked around the store again for 20 minutes, my mom called me so I could take some pictures of her cooking what they were cooking. While we were waiting for my mom to put her cooking piece in the oven, I sat on her seat for 1 minute. One minute, that's all. The man at the cashier rudely came over to my mom and I and told me I could not sit there because I did not pay. I told him that I know I did not pay, and I was just waiting for my mom to put her cooking piece in the oven and taking some pictures of her. He walked away, and I stayed there for a few more minutes. Once my mom's cooking piece was done, (which took 10 minutes) she gave it to me so I could eat some of it, even the nice chef told me to try some of my mothers food. I went to my mothers car to eat some of it, then came back. My mom was walking around the store and I went to talk with her, asked her if everything was alright. While I was talking with her and went back to the kitchen station with her, the rude, selfish, greedy man walked in front of us and started complaining how I was not supposed to be there and how my mother shouldn't have given me her OWN cooking piece. He asked us "Do you think this is right? The other people paid for themselves. So you should too." My mom and I immediately left, we could not be there because we both felt very uncomfortable after that. I did not engage in any of the cooking activities, I did not write any notes, did not ask the chef questions, NOTHING. I was checking on my MOTHER. The chef even told my mom and I that I could eat my mothers cooking piece, even the CHEF. This is a WARNING to anyone who wants to go to the cooking class, the manager or whoever it was is very rude, selfish, greedy, and uncivil. I hope karma bites him back. read more

Well how do I begin? I'm in bed with the flu but not sick enough to hammer out this review. My wife prepaid cash for my birthday to be at their Knife Skills class today at 1:00. But I just can't attend. Who would go into a store and sit there with a dozen healthy people only to infect all the work surfaces? So my wife called and spoke to a 'David'. David I hope you're the owner because you're gonna get a very bad review from an 'ex' regular customer. After my wife said I needed to reschedule, which shouldn't be an issue for reasons of illness, David shut her down asap with s big fat NO! He said "This is like. rock concert, and the show must go on.". Don't flatter yourself David. I've been to one of your classes ( a free gift to me) and I wasn't impressed. As a matter of fact the instructor that day was sick with a sore throat. She admitted that after coughing and hacking all over the place. Really David, you already have my money, whats the big deal. We called before any set up would have be started. So bottom line David, the money I have been spending at this store for the past 2 years is a thing of the past. Very short sighted my friend. Never mind the dozens of referrals and loss of good will, in this small community of regular restaurant customers. Macy's home store in Costa Mesa will get my business. Not Kitchen Fantasy. Buyer beware!!!!! read more

Prices are not bad for some things. Got a marble finish non-stick pan there, and absolutely love it!! It's def a store we check when kitchen supplies are needed! read more

Kitchen Fantasy is a great store and their cooking classes are a lot of fun and informative. My mother-in-law and I took their Hands-On Creme Brulee class on 6/10/12 and had a blast. We learned how to make Creme Brulee as well as torch the sugar. What's better than that? Chef Dave was great and a lot of fun and was wonderful at answering any and all questions we had. We can't wait to take another class and buy some more cookware for our house. read more

Love the store!!!! It was my first time last week and I was very impressed with the great selection of kitchen supplies. Very friendly owners and very knowledgeable! For sure I will get lost in time in my next shopping visit there again! But no husband with me... LOL read more
