PLEASE don't shop here! The owner, a sour-faced old man, is heartless and I would ask that all of you caring human beings not fund his retirement. A couple of weeks ago, I went in there to find some small bowls.While in there, my body forcefully told me that I needed to use the restroom in the next few minutes. I asked a nice sales lady if I could use theirs (I've been shopping there off and on for over 20 years. For over a decade, I worked a few blocks from there, and now live close to Evergreen). She apologized and said they didn't have a customer restroom. I said, please, I don't have time to get up to the King Soopers, my need is urgent. I whipped off my hat to show her my bald head to quickly indicate my current medical condition - you can fill in the back-story for what caused that. She was so kind and led me over the the sour-faced man (he actually had a sneer on his face before either his employee, or I, said a word). She explained my request. He said no, our restroom isn't ADA approved, and the he could get sued. I said 'huh', I'm not disabled, and pointed to my bald head. By this time, I was so upset, I was probably speaking a little loudly (certainly not shouting, but urgently speaking). He said it's not wheelchair approved. I looked at him blankly for a moment, not understanding. I said you can see I'm not in a wheelchair, what has that got to do with it? He again said he could get sued. By this time, my need was extraordinarily urgent. I again said please! I saw him looking over my shoulder and I glanced back to see what he was looking at. There were about 5 people (customers and sales people) standing behind us listening. He started walking away from me towards where I knew the bathroom was, so I trailed along behind him, thinking he had relented. Nope, he turned away from the restroom and glared at me. I pleaded, I'm not going to mess it up, please! The humans had followed us which he saw. He turned and repeated that he could get sued. I replied testily that I won't tell if you don't, and I seriously doubt the head of the ADA will mind under these circumstances. Finally he jerked open the door of the restroom to shut me up and I went in. I left no footprint, thanked the saleslady as I headed to the front door, and left. This experience is burned into my soul. I have never been so offended in my life, and I will NEVER, EVER shop here again! What an uncaring 'person' he is. I'm sure his mama was rolling over in her grave at the appalling behavior of her son. His only concern was about money and the infinitesimally remote chance that the ADA would hear about the incident and sue him! I wouldn't wish my current condition on anyone, including him, but I fervently hope that before he dies, he has a similar experience as he gave me, in the hope that he might finally have some humility. I say again, PLEASE don't shop here! Good people, thank you for your time in reading my review, and please give it a 'thumbs up' so others will read it, to encourage them to avoid this business.

I just stopped in this store after a few months of wanting to take the time. It was such a beautiful and enjoyable experience. The customer service is exemplary and they have a truly comprehensive selection of kitchenwares, spices and utensils.
At first entrance the shop is almost overwhelming in that they have so much fun stuff to look at in such a small space, but after taking it in for a moment I found that everything is very neatly and thoughtfully arranged.

One of my favorite shops in the Evergreen area. They have every kitchen gadget imaginable, as well as teas, flavored syrups, knives, pots and pans, and even a chocolate shop in the back. I can (and sometimes do) spend a long time browsing.

If you're looking for a kitchen-related gift or you're outfitting your own kitchen, check it out!

When heading up into the mountains from the Foothills of West Denver, you must go to this fabulous kitchen store in Evergreen/Bergen Park! It's actually HUGE, and has everything imaginable for your kitchen, dining room, holiday themes, and pets! Just loved this store and would make this a definite stop anytime you head up through Morrison, Golden, or Ken Caryl!

Very unique store with an eclectic mix of fun and unique products. Went in to buy a bag of coffee and try something new compared to King Soopers. The employees don't trust you to grind your own coffee (fair enough) so you have to request it after purchase. I asked for a coarse grind for a French Press, and still received a fine grind. I'll be going to the super market from now on. Where I can receive the grind I actually want, and not spend nearly 15 dollars on a bag of coffee.
