Williams-Sonoma products are truly underrated. If you're looking for the perfect holiday gift chances are you'll find something here, this is the spot! I came in earlier today to buy a gift and the staff was very helpful. I was looking for a specific cutting board for steak and it wasn't out on the floor, despite how busy it was and a wait to be assisted, the staff made sure to check the back stock and brought out the board I needed. Awesome service! read more

Yvonne & Joyce at this Pasadena location on Lake Avenue were efficient and instrumental in my positive experience here today. I had some issues with some plates and they immediately assessed the situation. They were professional, attentive and most importantly diligent in solving my problem quickly. I was in and out without feeling rushed and they really paid attention to what I needed! This is a breath of fresh air as most retail store attendants nowadays act like they are doing YOU a favor when you step into their showroom for assistance. You can tell that Yvonne & Joyce absolutely want to be there and absolutely want to help. Thank you Williams-Sonoma for hiring the right competent people and with the attitude. I'll be back! See you here! read more

This location is my favorite William Sonoma to visit. Their manager Diane graciously assisted with my purchase. It was an absolute treat.

I love this store, they have top quality products, all the cooking equipment you need, they have it. Great selection, best quality, yes it might be a bit expensive but it is well worth it. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly read more

Love this place. Great selection of top quality products and the staff went out of their way to make sure I got exactly what I wanted.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Surrounded by very classy, elegant pieces.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were incredibly helpful -- happily assisting us in finding the perfect size and color of Le Creuset I was looking for. read more

I was a bit disappointed with this Williams Sonoma location in Pasadena. The store has a limited selection, and most items are only available to order online--which feels unnecessary since I could just shop from home. I was also not satisfied with their return and refund policy. When I tried to return an item and purchase glasses instead, I was told they couldn't process an exchange in-store and that a store credit card would be mailed to me instead. It's a very inconvenient system compared to other retailers. read more

We ordered our bistro table from Williams Sonoma on May 2nd. After waiting 4 months, the day before delivery they emailed and said they ordered the wrong "thing" and the shipment will be delayed at least another month. 5 months! Maybe! So we call to cancel, wait nearly a half hour on hold and after having to explain ourselves "twice" they say they'll cancel. Days later the charge is still on our credit card. So now we're talking to our credit card company. The table was very expensive! This brand has gone downhill, way downhill! 5 months for a shipment? Begging them for a refund? They really screwed us over and they couldn't care less. Order from this company at your own peril. read more

Went in to buy a new coffee maker. Woman approached us when we were looking at the nespresso machines & asked if we were looking for a new nespresso, we said yes & an alarm went off on her phone & she walked off never to return. Then we were looking at another machine & a part fell on the ground, another woman yelled "you break it you buy it". Terrible. read more

Zero service even though there's four people behind the cash registers (only one wanting to take people) & SO many other employees just walking around talking amongst themselves. I'll never come back. read more

Customer service employees are rude and racist! I guess I didn't fit the preferred profile. Will not be shopping here ever. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is not organized and a crowded mess.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Such a disappointment!!! read more

Worst retail experience I've ever had. I purchased a gingerbread house kit for my grandkids. My husband noticed that the expiration date was a year ago so we took it back. Although the store sold an item that was clearly well beyond the expiration date, the manager said no returns and shooed me away, no apology. For as overpriced as Williams Sonoma is, at the minimum, you should be able to get decent customer service. NEVER SHOPPING HERE AGAIN and I suggest the same to my Pasadena neighbors. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]First off, it's a smaller location but for the size of it, they cram as much as they can in there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm simply writing this review because the people were so nice, and this is not my first visit there. I have gone out of my way to go to this location due to how consistently nice they are. Like you really notice how nice they are there. I use them to get Xmas gifts for people. read more

It is a nice store in Pasadena. They have a great quality of kitchen gadgets and appliances. You can find a wide variety of famous brands. The customer service is outstanding. It is a great place to go to when you look for quality cookware and cooking utensils. read more

Was in the market for a Dura Z10, Giga 10 or a Breville Oracle Jet espresso machine with Yvonne, Lonnie & Yvette @ Williams Sonoma on Lake in Pasadena and they were incredibly hospitable, informative and helpful in addressing our concerns and questions about all three pieces! We will return again once we're prepared to make an espresso coffee machine commitment. read more

Williams-Sonoma - Jura espresso machine - Specialty Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

they advertise free shipping, which is a huge Lie!! free shipping means you have to join a service that cost you $99 a year to join!! so is that free shipping? It's the opposite of transparency !! So No, it's not.!! I would give zero stars but one star is all I can give. read more

Came here to shop for a couple cookware items for home. Rude service and overpriced items, The manager should be fired

I got a gift card so decided to do some shopping here. They just remodeled so apparently some items are not fully stocked on the shelves and that is what I noticed. There was only 1-2 each of some items in the area I was looking at. The item I wanted after looking online wasn't there but I found an alternative and the staff was really friendly. Prices aren't cheap but I guess they have good quality items! read more

Not one person was willing to help me, one was coming in & knew NOTHING about coffee. I'm sorry it was way to unprofessional

They refuse to replace the food item they sold. It's expired, you moron! Do better! Ask for a replacement, not a refund, and they rejected it. If you are Asian, the white lady who claims to be GM is messed up! She will look at you up and down and act like you owe her something. Please pay attention to the expiration date cause clearly, they missed it. Also be nice to your client dear EVIL GM, Jennifer! We do not owe you something, just because I'm not white. She even said to me oh don't worry you still can consume it's not expired m, it's the manufacture! She is real CLOWN. I showed her the stamp of expiration and she said I can consume. People like you just miserable, society hates you Jennifer. Be kind like Vince and Yvette read more

Poor customer service. They treat you like you the customer coming there to give them business is not important. They just let you walk out completely unsatisfied. This is nothing new. It's always a frustrating experience shopping there. read more

First time ordering online. Was charged $14 shipping for kitchen towels. Who charges for shipping anymore?? When I contacted customer service they said "we'll, i don't know where you shop?" What kind of response is that. First and last time I will give my business to William Sanoma. read more

I don't shop here often but when I do, the sales staff are not friendly; no greeting and no offers to assist. When I asked where the milling spices were I merely received a wave of the hand with a "Over there on that table." Then not even a "thank-you" for my purchase. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a shame because it's a beautiful store and the only WS in town...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

EXPENSIVE! Wowza has this place gotten expensive! What was once a $200 bag of goodies now nearly $600! Christmas party crackers, gravy sauce, a holiday tea towel, a whisk , hot chocolate, a small tin of tea and some gummy bears. That was it! $600. I think Sur la Table is a better value. Don't get me wrong. I do like Williams-Sonoma but it will definitely be a while before I shop here again. So expensive read more

Needed kitchen knife sharpening and they have great prices! ($5 per a knife, they do not do serrated). It took only about a day or two for it to be completed. I picked it up and had no problems and it was packaged safely. I even stopped to drink some water cause I was so thirsty and thankfully they had water available for customers!! Tip- I parked near Chipotle and walked over to avoid paying for parking It's always decorated so nicely outside and looks so clean inside! read more

This is my second time coming to this William Sonoma. It was during one of their busiest times but the staff, especially Isis, went above and beyond to get me everything I needed. The staff were incredibly kind and personable, and even gave suggestions for places to eat nearby. I will be coming here for all of my home appliances and cookware. read more

I have always had GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE at this store and they have a WIDE SELECTION OF THE BEST BRANDS in kitchen accessories: I had a very old gift card that they honored without any problems: I bought a set of table cloth napkins made by the high end French brand Jacquard Français that will lady forever in addition to being designed in beautiful modern style and colors!! Najla the store manager and Ricardo are both terrific and I disagree with the poor comments of unhappy customers. If you need quality cookware or other kitchen gadgets, that's the place to "touch " and shop. read more

Absolutely rude customer service, disappointing experience, and unprofessional staff. Returns are a nightmare, and based on the reviews, if you shop here you may never see your item or your refund. read more

This is the store for the cooking lovers, for those who want the best products and the nicest kitchen!!! I was walking down lake, when I noticed their knife selection on display, walked in and was blown away! The selection for baking is incredible! Equipment you'd find in a baking show! Their pans are the highest quality! They have the most beautiful selection of anything kitchen! I definitely will be coming here for all things kitchen! read more

I went to Williams Sonoma looking for a Jura coffee machine in May, 2025. I am just wriing the review now. I wanted to purchase the Jura coffee machince, but I was not familiar with that coffee machine. I asked several store representatives upon my arrival to the store about the Jura and no one had any knowledge regarding the operation of the machine. They said there was a person but she was not here today. I asked another store representative at the counter and the same thing, but there might be one lady in the back that might know. The Jura is from Sweden and is supposed to make the best coffee. The lady came down and gave me a demonstration. I asked about the milk frother. She said it was attached to another machine and she could not detach it. They also could not let you sample coffee because they were not giving coffee demos that allowed for tasting that day. When I wanted the white one, they said I had to order it and it would be delivered to me and it would take 3-4 weeks maybe. I have been shopping at that store with my mother since I was a little girl and a long term resident of Pasadena, six generations. Wililams Sonoma had lots of locations in the past and 3 locations in the Commons. The party is over. Poor cusomter service which removes me immediately from the store. It is so transparent. I used to love Williams Sonoma, especially during the holidays. Very sad! Another one lost like ourBullock's, J.W. Robinson's and Haggarty's aka J.J. Haggarty founded in Los Angeles in 1906 and had a Pasadena store. So long. Going elsewhere. read more

Love this store, associates are so helpful and considerate. They help find items that they are out of stock on and order for you for delivery or pickup. read more

AVOID THIS LOCATION - HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. WS Customer support requested that we bring a faulty coffee maker to the store so they could "check it in" and our replacement order could be shipped. The store representative said he didn't know what "check in" was but would place our return in the outgoing mail pile. We asked again that he look into a "check in" so our replacement could be issued without delay. He apparently did not bother to do anything. Our replacement never shipped and was ultimately canceled - requiring additional hours on the phone with support. All easily avoidable problems caused by absurdly lazy and poorly trained in-store support. read more

I really like this location and am a fan of the store in general. This store has very nice kitchen/ household items. Most items are on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for. They have pretty good sales during Christmas time. The customer service is OK. There have been times when we shopped and no one helped or offered to help, but good thing we didn't need any. There is hourly paid street parking (good luck finding one though). If your looking for Flatware, bowls, or any other home good that isn't from China, come here. read more

Williams-Sonoma - Wifey Shopping for more cookware. - Specialty Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

Horrible return policy. I was given a Mackenzie Child's teapot without any boxing. It was simply placed in a bag with a few papers, which was kind of odd looking. A few days later I decided to return it because it didn't match my kitchen style. I almost didn't get my money back because the staff claimed that I needed the original box to return it. Then as I was explaining that I didn't receive any box, the staff were dismissive, they almost laughed and said how is that possible and rudely said I couldn't return it. Honestly I became furious but I calmly restated that I did not receive a box, and they finally decided to give me my a refund. Even then- I purchased the item in cash and I had to wait 2 weeks to get my check in the mail. I was worried if it would get lost and never get my refund after all that. Even the employee who helped package my purchase and was now helping my refund didn't even admit that he made a mistake. Anyways, I feel like the service should be better for such pricing. I also got the cold shoulder from a staff member who didn't like that I was looking at my items before I decide to purchase them. She then said, what are you doing, aren't you go into the line? After that, I decided it was not worth looking at any other items or going into the store again. read more

Disappointed on a different level. Ordered a coffee machine after being told that I need to purchase a gift card in order to do it because they didn't have it in store. They end up canceling my order the same day and never notifying me. Now they have my money they will not me a new card. They will not re-order my item and they will not give me any sort of credit. I'm in limbo. Customer service says it's a store issue store says it's a customer service issue. no one is able to help and I am out $500. Never thought Williams Sonoma will pull something like this and its customers read more

One of my most favorite stores to shop for household items. I love entertaining and cooking so I always find the perfect platter or glasses, etc.. their prices are slightly higher but the products they sell are very high quality. I rather pay for quality and product guarantee. This store is located at The Commons in Pasadena. A very lovely shopping plaza with a small courtyard surrounded with restaurants and coffee shop. Lots of benches to sit and relax under the big trees. Love coming to this location The customer service is ok. The staff is somewhat rude but that's ok, I still love shopping here since I know what I need and don't need to ask for help. read more

There were multiple customers, multiple available cash registers, and multiple employees, yet only one employee was assisting anyone. I'm not sure what the others working there were doing, but it took forever to do a simple transaction. Go to the one at the Grove instead of wasting your time here. read more

I'm so sad that they closed the one in the valley. This location sucks! The parking is awful and the store is tiny. I was picking up an online order and waited a good 12 minutes to be helped. There were three people working behind the counter, but they just couldn't get it together. I'll stick with ordering online and having it shipped directly to me. read more
