In Short
This upscale chain carries the kind of kitchen supplies that make foodies swoon. Utensils and equipment come in a variety of colors and materials, including ceramic, wood, enamelware and metal. Dishes, glasses, table accessories and linens are available in a number of styles. Food items include condiments, oils, cocoas, spices and edible pigments. Scope out the clearance section dedicated to out-of-season and out-of-stock items.

Cramped and poor customer service

03/11/2008 Posted by 01winegal

As the original store, this Sur la Table isn't much to write about. It needs to learn from some of its newer cousins in Las Vegas, D.C., etc. It is cramped, with too much merchandise & not enough space. The aisles are so close together, one needs to let the other pass if you are in the same aisle. It does nothing in terms of displaying merchandise attractively. Also, the customer service is terrible: not enough staff, and those that are there seem frazzled, and not willing to take the time. In contrast, staff at other Sur la Table stores are knowledgeable and very helpful. Rather than reminiscent of those quaint French kitchen & linen stores, the entire ambience reminds me of being in your grandmother's attic stuffed with "things"...UNINVITING!

Pros: Lots of merchandise

Cons: No parking, terrible customer service, cramped

I get all my cookware there

There's just something unique about this shop in the heart of Pike Place Market. I love stopping by, picking up something or just browsing... The staff is incredibly knowledgable.
