Our favorite shop in Galena! A must stop for chefs, bakers, foodies, or cocktail enthusiasts! We look forward to visiting every time we come to town. They have a a great selection of both brand name classic items and unique finds. It is the perfect place to shop for gifts or for yourself. We never leave empty handed! read more

When you often need the " feel & touch" that online kitchen item providers can't provide this IS the place! Great selection and competent staff. Good variety of teas and Galena Roasters coffee. Do the majority of my "gift buying" here. Owner thought I must be a B&B owner! read more

I don't even know how to cook very well but I could spend hours in this store. It reminds me of Sur La Table but maintains more of a small town shop instead of a chain-like establishment. I found an adorable bear pancake pan to use for my son. In fact, there were several great little kid-friendly items to pick from which made it a tad harder to settle on an item. They also had about 10 dips with corresponding dipping items (pretzels, chips, etc) to try. They were all excellent and one was so delicious that I bought the key ingredient on site to use for an upcoming Memorial Day BBQ. Had they not had the tasting stations, I would have never paid the food products any attention. Kudos to them for bringing the product direct to my taste buds! It made it hard to pass up! Hehe. read more

Tons of interesting kitchen items. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about the products. If you can't find it here, good luck.

I love this place! Every time I shop there I am greeted warmly and always receive great customer service. The staff knows their stuff. The decor is beautiful and eclectic and the selection huge! I have purchased not only kitchenware, but coffee, tea, and gift-ware as well. Their whole bean coffee is my new addiction. I recently discovered that this store has two levels! I went to the second level and found grillware, a pizza section, tabletop, bakeware, and even a great sale room! I'll keep coming back! read more

Love this store, tons of great kitchen stuff and the person who range me up was a sincerely nice person. I'd definitely go spend more next time I'm in town. read more

Like a mini Sur La Table on the downtown strip in Galena. Fun to browse or shop for that fancy kitchen implement, if you don't mind the lack of elbow room ;) read more

The variety of items for the kitchen and the layout made it a favorite shop on my recent trip to historic Galena. I loved the samples of marmalade and jellies with tiny crackers. I found a floating tea infuser that I absolutely needed to get for my loose leaf tea enjoyment--and wow do they ever have a great collection of bagged and loose teas! Will be back on my next visit, can't wait to see what's new! read more

The attitude was apparent from the moment we walked into the store. Being asked by multiple people every 30 seconds if we need help feels more pushy and fake than helpful. But the reason I would never choose to do business here is because when I took a photo of a glass I was looking at, I was then shamed from across the store by an employee who wrongfully assumed I was going to buy it online. I get it. If I worked retail I'd possibly be leery too. But the manner in which she addressed me was the issue. If you don't like people then don't work retail. read more

What a fun, fabulous, unique, and time-absorbing store! I felt like the selection just kept going and going, especially when I ventured up to the second floor. I came close to purchasing several things but resisted until I got to one of my favorite things - a newly acquired love - tea. I purchased a couple bags of loose leaf tea, perfect for the new Krups loose leaf brewing tea kettle that I had received for Christmas. The tea has been very delicious, but I was disappointed that the shop bags their own. I asked what brands the loose leaf bags are, and the helpful sales associate told me several different companies. Since I live in Pittsburgh, it will be impossible for me to find this tea again. Oh well - I'll just have to enjoy it while it lasts! read more

Cute store with lots of kitchen gadgets. It's a great place to stop in when you are just starting to get hungry and have a while before a meal. Lots of samples! read more

You can find any weird strange kitchen item here that you would need. I've purchased a few things from here to help in my kitchen. I recently purchased a lettuce storage bin. It works great! They recently merged with a tea shop. I am a tea drinker and I love the selection and the beautiful tea pots. read more
