Tons of cute items and many practical items at reasonable prices. I could spend all day in the store but due to COVID, they're requesting you limit your browsing to 30 minutes or less. Luckily they're extremely friendly and I was able to get all my questions answered from the variety of coffee related products to comparing the soda stream options. Especially with this year and the holiday season approaching, I highly recommend checking out Culinary Essentials for any dining related gifts or kitchen upgrades as the personal attention is so valuable and to support local businesses!

A delight for anyone who enjoys cooking. We spotted several items that would be great gifts... After talking with the very nice owners, I decided to buy my son (who lives in Ballard) some Christmas presents. We presented them with the problem that we would be returning to southern California, where my son will join us for Christmas. It didn't make sense to fly stuff down that he would then have to fly home. They suggested that I could buy the presents, I could give my son a card and the gift receipt, and he could collect the present when he came home. Genius! The owners put my gifts into a gift bag, topped it with crumpled purple tissue paper, and put it into the back to await my son's return.

We then talked to Janine at Best where we originally bought the fixture. She went to bat for us with the manufacturer and the replacement head was soon on its way. No charge; covered under the original lifetime warranty. This proves the value of working with small local businesses instead of box stores or Amazon. Thanks, Janine! You're the Best! Pun intended.

From the owner: Robert Capen Construction specializes in a wide variety of residential…read more upgrades ,improvements and handyman type repairs. I've been involved in both new construction and remodeling for over 30 years. My evolved skills are most suited to providing beautiful kitchens & baths both in existing locations and adding new ones where they can be. Laundry rooms as well. In over 30 years I've done everything from foundations to roofs. Everything in between. The list is too extensive to list here. I was even a home inspector for a stint. I think my greatest asset is being able to see the "bigger picture",when it comes to these remodels. I tend to want to fix the actual problem not the symptoms. I try to guide the project toward something that's worth what it costs. Not always easy in remodel. In my lifetime I've built treehouses to custom homes. Even houseboats. My profession is a high fiber diet. My specialty? Fine home improvements!

They were always very transparent about where things were (including when Covid shut us down mid-project), and even with Covid delays they had us back home almost exactly to the day from my initial estimate. A few issues here and there were resolved quickly and to my satisfaction. I especially appreciated their ability to talk through options and keep emotions out of it. I've had a few other projects done with contractors who are tough to work with - construction always comes with issues and you need someone you can honestly discuss them with. Great value for service provided...I would highly recommend!

Bedrock is mostly for crafts people; while they do have a handful of gift items (glass sun catchers, etc.) but it's not really a "gift store". It could be better organized (and cleaner--keep a wet nap in your car for when you're done), but that would take time and staff. We purchased several round glass tiles to be installed in a metal handrail. No returns on glass "tiles", but they will give store credit, and allow you to swap items later on.

They were connected in series and installed on a wooden cabinet. I was looking for an in-kind replacement or another solution that made better sense for us. Ryan clearly understood our existing configuration and provided alternatives that made better sense, were less expensive, and provided better functionality. On replacement day, he and his helper were delayed by an emergency that required addressing before a restaurant could open; he let me know what his status was and when he would be at our facility. Once there, they worked very efficiently and made a nice, tidy, and organized installation. He handled all the permitting and the system passed with no questions or concerns. Best was the best value for our work, did a great job, and were nice while doing it. I have struck the other vendors off my approved vendor list and will use them for all of our plumbing needs.

We had a few plumbing issues that we wanted to address in our home and someone came over to check it out. We were told to pay $309 just for diagnosing what was wrong, even though we already knew what was wrong, and when we told him that was absolutely ridiculous, he charged us $110 just for coming out. The $110 would not be applied towards the cost of service. Mind you, we live less than 5 miles away. In today's economy, $110 is a pretty penny just to drive out to a house that's just a hop, skip and a jump away. I love supporting small, independently run businesses, but man, businesses like this one with outrageous hidden costs feel so gross, especially when you're desperate and need an urgent fix. With a Yelp rating as low as theirs, I doubt they'll survive for much longer.

I ordered lavender rosemary latte but my coffee came as plain latte. The tall girl with short colorful hair is weird as if she has something against you! The food was even worse. My salad was full of wilted vegetables, and the bacon and potatoes were cold, hard, and clearly cooked hours ago. To top it off, the plates have deep grooves that make it impossible to eat--ketchup and egg yolks get stuck in the grooves. I genuinely worried about the material's safety. If you want to help people, start by serving fresh, safe food. I wouldn't be surprised if that salad was a health hazard. I just wasted over $30 for a very low quality food. Also, all the great looking food in the photos on yelp, on not served any longer.

Truly an incredible spot for families with little ones, but also just enchanting for anyone who loves plants, decor, or cozy vibes. The plant selection is massive, the seasonal decor is stunning, and the gift shop?? Dangerous. I wanted one of everything. On top of all that, they have a café on site with drinks and food, which makes it way too easy to linger longer than planned (no regrets). Swanson's is one of those rare places that feels like a destination, not just a store. An absolute gem & I'm obsessed.
