O.M.G. Bowls,…read morekitchen utensils, pots, pans... everything you could want. First of @ll, my girlfriend is an excellent cook -- trained by chefs throughout the U.S. as a result of her former boyfriend who went from restaurant to restaurant worldwide to help them improve their menus, food selection, methods of preparing and cooking the food and its presentation. She is an excellent cook, always taking cooking classes, watching videos, television cooking shows, etc, etc. If there's a kitchen utensil and/or machine, device, or gadget, she knows about it. We'd spent over an hour in the store -- but, unfortunately, whatever purchase we made would have to be carried back to Arizona in our airline luggage, or shipped home. As we were visiting someone, we were limited in time. As she went from table to table selecting things she couldn't live without, I was close by and made note about what she wanted or thought was very attractive. Having broken one of five of her favorite set of bowls, I was trying to redeem myself in replacing the full set. These bowls were among those she used for everyday use, so she really needed just four bowls. She couldn't make up her mind about which she wanted. I got the attention of one of the staff, who collected the set I thought was most attractive, and asked that they be hidden from sight so that I could surprise her, having the bowls shipped to us in Arizona. I told the staff that they needed to be carefully packed to avoid being cracked or broken by the gorillas that load USPS, UPS, and FedUp trucks... so the bowls were set right in front of the cash register where she saw them while paying for her gadgets she couldn't live without. No harm done. Hope she forgets about them by the time we return to Arizona. Earlier, I went to their pastry counter and tried to make up my mind what to get our group of four for breakfast or a snack. I couldn't make up my mind so I bought eight of three variety of scones, which traveled with us to western Washington. This is a great place for anyone who enjoys cooking -- or having beautiful things for their home, including every sort of dish, vase, pot, bowl, pitcher... you get the idea. There are multiple varieties of every item imaginable, something for everyone. Prices are what they are. Quality costs, especially when it comes to cookware and cutlery. Yanno? The prices, I believe, are reasonable, having purchased a few items for her recently. The staff are amazing, from the own to the smart young man who took my purchases and helped me get them to Arizona. Oh, by way: the scones were excellent. We're coming back in August and September. With a list.

I used to love this place. We had a group that met every Saturday for many years. We brought in…read morebusiness and were respectful. We shopped there and enjoyed our time together. Then a new owner came in. She told us that everything would be great. We were excited. Once there, felt sort of unwelcome but kept going anyway. We all sat at this little copper table with chairs and they brought us food and coffee. It was the norm and we were happy to have a circle table where we could all chat. We had a new lady join that week and she was told by the new owner that she doesn't want us at that table and to pass it on. It was to be for wine drinkers only. Well, why serve us there the whole time only to tell one person, not even the organizer about it. Owner sent a man over to us and we talked to him about it and we all brought up ideas and talked back and forth and thought it was ok at the end. The following week, a new gal came and didn't feel well. She asked the owner to tell the group she had come and that she wasn't feeling well. The owner asked who the group was and she started badmouthing us to the new girl! Another woman showed up and the new gal told her what happened and they both left. The group now meets elsewhere, but it is a shame that you treated a local group after the owner moves here from Spokane and wants to fit in, like garbage after meeting there for YEARS! Not only that, this establishment now closes early and doesn't stay open for farmers markets or anything local going on. It really is a sad deal that someone can come in and ruin a business that someone else worked so hard to build.

Another master class by Jamie Aquino! I've been eyeing her Farm to Table class for a couple years…read moreand finally had the chance to attend with my dad. This class is great because you also get a trip to the Kendall Yards Farmers Market where Jamie breaks down what's in season and an ideas for how to use various ingredients. You shop along with her as she picks out the main ingredients for the class and have time to shop yourself before getting started with the actual class back at the Kitchen Engine. Her classes and dishes are vegetarian and plant-based so you leave with nutritious and delicious recipes. My only disclaimer is that this class (and really any class) will be challenging for those with mobility issues. The walking involved at the market with this class and the bar stool seating for the 3-hr class was difficult for my father, who has mobility issues. That said, he has a blast. Just a callout so you know what to expect.

Lo and behold, there was one of the best kitchen gadget ships I've ever experienced combined with a cafe combined with a cooking school. This place is seriously the best of three worlds. I was able to buy some loose leaf tea for my daughter, the cortado was DELICIOUS, and they had some very specialized kitchen tools o haven't seen anywhere else (pizza scissors that double as servers!) if you're a foodie, a chef, or just someone who likes good espresso, this is the place to stop in. Plus, my honey forgot his water bottle when we ordered coffee and the baristas were so kind to have set it aside for us when we later returned. LOVE this place.

My son and I were really excited to attend a class in February (Chicken Dinner class) unfortunately…read moreit was cancelled and we were asked if we wanted to transfer our tickets to the Breakfast for dinner class. After some emails with Amanda we agreed to attend that class. Two days prior to the class starting I inquired to see if we were confirmed but no response until the day prior saying that they were going to reschedule again. I sent a few emails asking if we were enrolled in the upcoming class with no response other than telling me they will send me an upcoming schedule that i never received. I took it upon myself to email the address on the website asking if I could talk with someone who could answer my questions. The reply I got was: pasted below We're sorry you seem to have had a bad experience and how we communication with our customers. Our chef has been in and out of the hospital . We are giving you a refund for your original order. While I understand the hospital bit I think it unprofessional to blame them and not take responsibility as an organization for constant reschedules and serious lack of communication with their "students" I wish NO stars were possible, and seeing the serious lack of stars in their reviews I see I am not the only one. Do better. Reach out.

Too bad zero stars isn't an option…read more So, my story is that I purchased a pair of tickets for an event. Roughly 3-4 weeks prior to the event I reached out via email to see if I could make different arrangements because something came up and we wouldn't be able to make it. I never heard back. I tried a second time. Same thing. So, I wasted $50+ and got zero in return. That was awesome.

Easy to get to but a little hard to find. Parking lot is near the Jitterz coffee then just walk towards the front of the food trucks and go inside the big building. Walk to the SE corner and you are there. Place is nice and cool on a warm day and has 3 seats at the sushi bar and over a dozen tables to a sit at. Rolls are on the bigger size so worth the price. I tried 2 rolls: B52 roll has smoked steelhead, cream cheese, and cucumber, topped with salmon, spicy mayo, tempura crunchies, & green onion. Great smoked salmon flavor. Wish mine had a little more cream cheese and less rice. The Tuna Volcano was the other roll which has Spicy tuna mix , green onion, cucumber, topped with avocado, tuna poke, spicy mayo, Sriracha & tobiko. I think they forgot the Sriracha and put extra mayo on mine. Solid 4.5 stars for their rolls. I forgot to take a picture until I was more than halfway done eating:
