If you're looking for some completely random giftware or souvenirs from a trip to Edmonton's Whyte…read moreAve, visiting this institution of a store filled with kitschy items of all types is a must. While other similar stores haven't survived until today this one was a great visit when we wandered Whyte Avenue with some visitors from out of the country and they picked up some unique souvenirs. The store is so filled with items that there's always something new to spot when visiting. It is perhaps hard to find what you're looking for if you only want to find something very specific but if you're open to finding new things this is a great option! The floor creaks when you walk in some spots and the decor and store itself is old but this adds to the charm. It can be overwhelming to visit (but sometimes this saves me some money).

This place has all my home decorating dreams piled into one store. They have beautiful sheets,…read morebedspreads, and home decor items. Many of their sheets are imported from Italy, so expect a higher price, but also an unbelievably comfortable bed! They have just branched out into kitchen items as well and have some very high end appliances that I could see fitting perfectly on my counter top. I just have to convince the husband that we NEED beautiful (and expensive) appliances! My work might be cut out for me, but in the mean time I will be checking back often to see what is in stock and maybe even on sale.

The prices are high but they match the quality. I kind of get the same feeling in this place as I do when I walk through Ikea. Basically you want to buy everything.

We also ordered the chicharrón con yuca and crema fresca. We also got a slice of the tres leches cake for dessert! Seriously guys my mom was SO happy with her birthday meal! Paraiso even went above and beyond and wrote a "feliz cumpleaños" message on the cake box which made it feel extra special. Thank you to the entire team at Paraiso for this special meal and delicious food! The tamales were so yummy and authentic, the bigger ones even had a drumstick of chicken in them which was so awesome! Highly recommend Paraiso's hot food if you're looking for an authentic Latin American meal. Will definitely be ordering again!

The Pupusa was amazing with their pickled slaw and the Birria tacos were delicious. Paraiso is a must check out place in Edmonton, we will definitely be back to try more on their menu.

I took the Advanced Bread Making class and it was great! We are split into teams and everyone makes a different style of loaf (or whatever it is that you are learning that day). You can walk around and see what everyone is doing and Celeste, the owner, is guiding you. At the end everyone shares in a family style meal with usually something additional that Celeste made. No clean up just good chats and good food. Take the recipes home and try them out. And if you're considering buying a big ticket item this is a great way to try out some of the machines cause we used so many of them so what a great way to try before you buy! The classes are in the evening so there is no worry if other people bugging staff. Be prepared to stay a little late since we are learning and then enjoying a meal. Totally worth it.

This was my first time at the store as I needed to find citric acid and when I searched it on Yelp…read moreI found people mentioned Barb's Kitchen Centre as a place to check for it. So I walked in and this store is amazing! First the staff were very friendly, everything was very clean and sanitized was provided at the front. There were lots of pots and pans and utensils. All sorts of cooking gadgets, storage gadgets, and baking pans. In the back of the store there is a pantry section, this is where I found the citric acid I needed. They have tons of spices and baking ingredients plus more in the pantry. I found the prices on these items quite reasonable considering this is a smaller local business that is family owned. The aisles were large as well! I highly recommend you check this place out if you're looking for any specialty items or neat gadgets or the next time you want to bake something! Barb's is a must shop!

The have a huge amount of tile to choose from as well. Their store is quite big so you can see a lot of the samples in-person and not in a catalogue.

The first knife I bought was a nakiri vegetable knife, which I still use to this day. This was not the only knife I bought from Knifewear over the years, and I love each knife I got from the store. Knifewear sells Japanese handmade knives, of all shapes and sizes, and price (from under 100$ to a few thousand dollars). The store sells kitchen accessories, such as vegetable and other utensils, charcoal grills, cook books, cutting boards, sharpening stones, outdoor tools (axes and knives), and aprons, to name a few. Knifewear is definitely the place to go if you are on the market to buy a sharp high quality knife (and /or other kitchen items)!! Service is very excellent, professional and very knowledgeable and friendly!!

After a referral from a friend, I contacted AB Countertops to purchase a bathroom vanity countertop and a small piece for the top of a shower curb. (and mount a sink I provided under the counter). I was asked for the measurements (which I thought strange as there can be all kinds of things custom to each install - i.,e. wall corners not 90 degrees, etc.) While the timelines discussed seemed a bit slow, I realize that ours was just one countertop as opposed to a whole house job. After a call from the salesperson that the countertop was ready, I went to the shop facility to pick up. (no info as to who to see on site) after finally finding someone, they said it will be a few minutes. Then, I could see a worker gluing the sink to the counter (so it was hardly ready to pick up). When this was done, I took the unit home. The sink was poorly attached to the counter - I had to silicone some gaps and was worried that it may fall off when installed on the vanity. Visually, it is acceptable. The shower curb top: I made the measurements my self, and messed up and measured 2" to narrow. Fine, my fault. I tried to contact the salesperson I dealt with 12+ times via email, text and received only one response - that they were busy due to illness; nothing after that. If you don't want to or can't do the work, just tell me, but to not even reply is rude! I finally got a small piece from another granite company, and would recommend them. Stay away from AB Countertops is my advice.
