I recently attended a cooking class with my work team, and it was so much fun. Pans on Fire is a…read morekitchenware store, with a room on the side for cooking classes. The store itself is really cute, with useful gadgets and cute towels and knick-knacks. I was part of a group of 12 for the Express Spanish class. There are many different cuisines to choose from, and different durations (e.g., express-1.5 hours, standard-2.5 hours, ultimate-3.5 hours). What made this class run so smoothly is all the prep work that was done ahead of time. Each member had their own apron with their name on it. The cutting boards, ingredients, and tools were laid out around the kitchen. Bruce, the owner/instructor, first gave us demos on knife technique, garlic crushing, and juicing with a fluicher (flat-juicer). Many of these tools are available at their store. Then we worked on different parts of the menu in teams of three. Some of us cut tomatoes, while other crushed garlic. As far as actual cooking on the stove, only 2 members were hands on. After cooking, we sat down at their dining table and ate our meal together. Menu: Gazpacho, Garlic shrimp, Pan con Tomate, Manchego y Chorizo Tostada. Everything tasted good, but my favorite was the garlic shrimp. Hygiene was very important throughout. Longer hair had to be tied, and once we washed our hands, we were no longer allowed to touch our phones. However, Bruce did a great job of taking plenty of pictures for us. Overall, a very fun way to socialize while making something together. I highly recommend this for a team building experience.

Kristine was phenomenal to work with from start to finish. She genuinely put the customer first, was incredibly helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Brenda, the manager, was equally exceptional. Her level of customer service is exactly what makes going into a store worthwhile. A huge thank you to Kristine and Brenda for making what could have been a routine shopping experience truly memorable. Williams Sonoma is lucky to have both of them!

They only had 4 on the floor so I approached a male employee to check the back, he said they didn't have any. I asked if they sold it online to which I got a curt 'yes'. He didn't even offer to check online or asked if I needed help placing an order. And before I could ask a follow up question, he started helping a white couple behind me. How rude! So I approached a female employee for help, who was all smiles while helping another white couple before me. As soon as I approached, that smile went away. I asked if she could check for me if the placemats I wanted were sold online...to which she curtly replied "YOU can look up the sku number". My money of a brown girl like me is as good as the white folks' in this town! Avoid this branch if you don't want to be treated badly by employees who secretly wear those white robes

Good service from Justine, but one staff member made me uncomfortable…read more I went to your Walnut Creek store and Justine was really helpful. She spent time with me on the Timber vase and actually knew her stuff. That was great. But then something happened that made me uncomfortable. I was charging my laptop near the checkout and taking a call. A staff member walked up really close to me and just stood there silent. Didn't say hi. Didn't ask if I needed anything. Just stood there looking at me. I called Crate & Barrel and asked if there's a rule against charging a laptop in the store. They said no, it's fine. So I don't know why he did that. It made me feel like I was doing something wrong when I wasn't. I like shopping there and I was planning to buy the vase. But that one person made me hesitant to come back. I hope you can talk to your team about how to treat customers.

We were not looking to purchase anything and we were just walking around the mall and got tired, entered the store and sat on a couch that was displayed first thing when we opened the door. Instantly, we knew this was a nice sofa we both wanted. It was a beautiful stain resistant fabric couch that has a chaise, with large sitting depth. The sofa was one of the newest design in the store and after checking that they had good warranty and each furniture design stays in market for many years for us to alternate or modify the setting of the sofa in case we move out to a different home. This Korean lady Ms. Choi helped us out and she was very knowledgeable. She made sure we get all the discounts available in the store and was very patient with the purchase process. Not only that, we even loved the delivery process. The delivery men handled the furniture very well and knew what they were doing! It was so fast and efficient. We had this sofa for 2 months now and we still love it to this day. I think the pricing is reasonable for the quality as well. It was a happy coincidence that we stopped by the store and ended up spending $$$ to get a sofa in the middle of Sunday.

If you like high-end kitchenware, you have got to check the store out…read more It was quite the learning experience for me, I had no idea Zwillings owned so many high-end companies Zwilling Henckels Miyabi BSF Demeyere Staub Fontignac Ballarini I came away very impressed.That is a hard hitting lineup. The sales were very exciting. First there was a storewide 20% off sale. And then some of the individual pieces had some pretty impressive reductions. However, remember this is an outlet store. I found some of the most heavily discounted equipment had cosmetic flaws. On the other hand, I went to the Le Creuset store two decades ago and got myself a Dutch oven which had a cosmetic flaw, and that thing has been working great the whole time. But before you go to town, check to see if the warranty is in effect. It's kind of pity that my kitchen is so well stocked with equipment. Between the discounts and the excellent selection, I would been in deep trouble with this store several decades ago. While it's easy to focus on the knives and the cookware there is a lot more to the store. They carry an incredible number of small kitchen accessories that can solve common problems. The expert and friendly sales person showed me a really nice magnetic bar, which can be used to mount knives in otherwise wasted spaces in the kitchen. Unfortunately, for the sales person, I already had one of these. But I can definitely testify that this is an incredibly useful device. Some people complain that magnetic bars ruin your knives. But you have to know the trick to using them. Basically you have to kind of peel the knife off the magnetic bar and this prevents scratching and other minor damage. Also, if your knives are looking scratched, there is a whetstone with an incredibly fine grit that will put a mirror polish on your knives. Scratches are not the disaster you think they are. So stop feeling bad about all your kitchen problems and go to this store which has more solutions than you realize. Remember to bring your knives if you need them sharpened.

That peaked my interest especially since I am a kitchen gadget connoisseur. I quickly found parking and beelined into the shop. The shop had a bit of everything essential for a kitchen... cutting boards, glassware, silverware, pots/pans, bakeware, gadgets, knives...and then some. The prices were competitive even to online sellers. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They even partner with local craft makers to sell their ware's such G. Shaver cutting boards that are works of art and B. Davis custom made to order oven boards. Regarding the parking, there is unmetered street parking in the front of the shop. But they also have their own parking lot in the back of the shop with ADA spots. Great, especially if parallel parking ain't your thing.

Sign of the Bear Kitchenware in Sonoma, CA, is in the historic Sonoma Plaza shopping district…read more Sign of the Bear kitchenware. Say that 10 times fast. Just as fun to say, it's fun to browse even if you're not a home chef. They have brand name, quality cookware, bakeware, and kitchen items. Gifts and gadgets. Basic items (inexpensive) to "what do I do with this" specialized items (pricier). All at reasonable, competitive pricing for the brands. Locally owned since 1972. Awesome! The place is not particularly large, but they have a knack for utilizing space without feeling cluttered. I stopped in recently because I happen to be in the area and heard they carry Smithy, American made cast iron cookware. In particular I was looking for the carbon steel line of Smithy which is supposedly lighter in weight than their cast iron line. The young sales associate helped me locate the Smithy display. He was aware of the brand and knew where it was exactly in the shop. Lovely, gorgeous pieces. Pricing was on par.After doing my weightlifting kitchen curl test with a 10 inch skillet, I concluded that it is less weighty but I'm too weak to handle even that carbon steel weight. However I am uncommonly lacking the normal upper body strength. So you most likely will not have the same issue as I.
