Chefs' Toys

This store is fun. Lots of very durable, high quality stuff. The only thing I dont like is their pricing strategy. They do not put prices on most items, glassware being an example. So the process for buying glasses is to take the one you like to the desk and ask for a price, at which point you are given a higher price than a volume buyer would get so you have to barter. However the selection of stuff is great.

They have everything you need for your commercial business.

Astounding selection of kitchenware and gadgets. I just cook occasionally but it's still really fun to just walk around the aisles. Staff is super friendly too.

In contrast to other similar suppliers, I found the sales people here to be unhelpful. Rather than educate/collaborate on creating a custom order they told me to do it myself and then send in a line drawing. The tone was negative and disinterested. For these reasons I am going with Forest Restaurant Supply.

There are a lot of places to go for your kitchen supplies if you're a civilian cook, but if you fancy yourself a serious kitchen user, there is no better place in the City for your supplies. Don't let the name scare you, Economy carries pretty much anything you would need for the kitchen, in pretty much any size you could want. They carry all the basics, as well as anything you might need for a commercial kitchen. The prices are great, and the shopping kinda fun if you've never been to a restaurant supply store. If you do make the trip, be sure to check out the scratch and dents.

I opened three cafes and restaurants in the last 20 years and bought almost all of our equipments at this place. The service and knowledge of the staff were impeccable. The company changed ownership in Febuaery 2019 and everything has gone down significantly since then! Especially customer service!! I have taken my business elsewhere...it is very unfortunate!

I normally like to refrain from writing reviews. However this poor experience with Trimark lead me to write one. We placed a special order on december 3rd for a 20 inch somerset unit. The service at this place was smooth and very pleasant. We looked around, they didn't have the unit so we placed an order with Alan, a representative of the establishment. He told us it would come in around two weeks of time. We waited for it as he would call one of us when the unit came. We thought maybe they didn't deliver on Saturday and sundays so we decided to give it some more time. Now it is December 22nd (the day I'm writing the review) we went to this establishment to check in with Alan to see if the unit has come in or not. He tells us it has arrived yesterday but couldn't get ahold of our friend who they were supposed to have the unit delivered to. Not a big problem as he tells us it's located in their storage warehouse near south sf. Fair enough. He gave us instructions on how to get there and Kent whom we should talk to so we went. ~20 minute drive which wasn't too bad. We arrive and we entered the customer pick up and handed them the receipt so we can pick up our unit and head home. The guy takes the receipts and goes out to search for the unit. He comes back 5 minutes later and says one second. He then brings his female coworker to look for another 5 minutes. They return without saying a single word about the unit besides confirming if this was the address it was supposed to be sent to. So me and my father were assuming they have a lot of stuff in the warehouse so it might take some time. So we waited outside for 10 minutes. They came back without informing us what has happened. So I decided to walk back in just to find them doing other things. The lady was watching a video on YouTube on how to fix a tape gun and the guy decided to do his own thing. So I'm thinking okay...? What the actual f....? I asked them what was going on with the unit and the lady tells me once again one second. I waited a couple of seconds and I told them we were in a hurry. She replies okay and enters another room and comes out a couple minutes later just to tell us they sold the unit to another customer NOT because they ordered the same product but because they ordered a smaller variant which they couldn't use and sold our unit to them. The next few minutes were a bunch of sorries and a waste of time as they did not provide a solution as to how they will handle the situation. So we asked where Kent was as he was the manager and I was praying that he knew how to resolve this situation. Me and my father explained the situation to him and he quickly checked everything out and got back to us very quickly. He offered us to take the 15 inch unit to use until the 20 inch unit came. This wouldn't work as the unit doesn't provide the same results the 20 inch unit did. He goes back to his office to contact alan on the other side and tells us that they have placed another order on rush delivery and it would arrive Friday next week. We were still upset so we decided to give Alan who just finished his lunch break a call an earful. No compensations were mentioned for the time that we wasted driving there or for the frustration that we felt. Just a bunch of apologies. This in my opinion was atrocious. You can say that it's childish for me to think that we were expecting something in return but what if we DIDN'T go and ask where the unit was today? Wouldnt that not have prolonged the wait even more if we found out a couple days later that the unit was bought out from someone who mistakenly ordered the wrong unit. We wouldn't have been frustrated if we haven't paid for it when we ordered but we paid for it and did not receive anything but apologies.We decided to wait another week. If Google allows for edits, then I will update my review when we receive the product.

This review is for one of the employees named Natasha. She was very helpful and a joy to interact with. The company needs more people like her.

The inventory is outrageous. If you are a "food-eee" , chef, semi-chef, cook you are in paradise. Especially, if you are into catering and/or cooking for large gatherings. Giant sized utensils, cutlery to choose from. The service is good; but sometimes ... I want to look without being observed. The ambience. It's quiet, and I love that when I am trying to shop unabated. Parking out front. Handicap accessible

Called them and they had what we needed. They offered to put it aside and all was ready when I showed up. Amazing. In and out in minutes. Great for browsing for all the equipment one could need at work.

This place is a gold mine of high use cooking supplies. I love that they have sections of the store with supplies for asian, latin, pizza, and cocktails. Everything from chef weights to pizza screens. I had to make a quick departure from my first visit because there was so much I could rationalize buying. I will be back!

Most non restaurant workers would go to Bed Bath & Beyond, Sur la Table, or World Market though these places are often overpriced and overrated. Whether your a home cook or a professional, Chefs Toys offers numerous brand name items used by professionals. Trust me when I say it's like Target...you walk in to get silverware, a knife or whatever and then walk out with several tools you never thought you needed.

The one star is just really for the outside parking. The staff are helpful inside. Beware when you park outside this establishment. If you come with someone let one of you stay with your parked car! Lots of homeless people and robbers scope out the parked cars and do a 'smash & grab' while you're inside. They do this even if you don't have visible items in your car. Sucks. Gotta allow karma and the universe take care of whoever did this to our car.

Went to this place to exchange a defected $12 cheese cutter and they sent me away angry with the broken cutter. Don't go there , they don't know how to conduct business, mind you for $12 they lost my business(I have three restaurants and many restaurant owners friends. I miss the old Restaurant Economy.They were good people.

Used gelato display-cooler = $6,000 Locker for employees = $1,000 Chalk board for specials = $500 Complaining on the price for a scoop of gelato compared to ingredient costs = Priceless Economy Restaurant Fixtures looks and feels like a place to find huge discounts, but I felt that price were high. Half of their items apply only to professionals in restaurant business, so I cannot comment on price competitiveness of those items. Visit here made me appreciate $$$ restaurants have to spend to start a business. I prefer to go to Kamei on Clement Street (http://www.yelp.com/biz/Wdlcoex6glY5IAMCt_tyGA?hrid=gW00tEZppPziZayMLFluvg).

The parking at the front was full, so I followed the sign that said, "additional parking in the rear". So I parked in the rear next to the other cars in the lot and made my way to the entrance. As I was about to enter the building someone shouted, "you can't park there, it's not for you". So, I left unable to park. I have a minimum standard when it comes to how I'm spoken to, and this was a red flag when it comes to customer service in the future.

excellent service. I recently discovered this store! Employees are quite helpful. We ordered a refrigerator for our restaurant and Tammy was very helpful. The delivery guys were very nice as well!

If I could leave half a star I would. Thought I would make my life easy and order on line for next day pick up. Order was not ready items out of stock etc. it was like detailing with a 90s internet company. Not seamless at all! People at the store are nice enough but selection is only ok as are the prices. Customer service on the phone was not great either.

I had a wonderful experience at Chef's Toys last week buying a new steam table . I really would like to thank Sandra and especially Mordicai for all of their professionalism , courtesy and knowledge. The new year has started well!!!

A pretty nice/well stocked restaurant supply store near portero hill. Just stopped by here with a friend and ended up picking up some decent cooking supplies for a good reasonable price. This is place is definitely more for those who run a business but for the everyday person you can if the occasional helpful kitchen tool of a good price. On my visit picked up a chefs knife and a baking pan for cheaper then what I found at target or amazon. The store layout is very basic but to the point. The service here was friendly and helpful. This isn't a place you come to get cute kitchen supplies but if you need solid quality things for a reasonable price, this place it worth checking out

Small items more expensive than Forrest or restaurant depot Otherwise nice store for restaurant owners or employees. Only here we were able to find a freezer and they managed to get a smaller casters to fit under our 33" counter so it was a luck as well. They delivered it to our store which was nice.

Don't let the Asian guy help you, he thinks he is making you a favor for actually just doing his job, he shouldn't be on customer service, very rude and will make you feel like you are wasting his time, We spend at least 3k every month on this place (we have 8 restaurants), it should not be so difficult to check on prices.

This place is the 'toy store' for the chef, at home cook or baker...Great selection on commercial items for catering, baking, outfitting that new restaurant...i wish! Definitely add your email to their emailing list to get announcements on their huge sale at the end of April. Reasonably priced which can be up to 50% off marked items. Scored some tart pans and food platters at a good deal.

Big warehouse full of restaurant appliances, kitchen utensils, and anything you would need to open a business in the restaurant/cafe industry. The staff is knowledgable when it comes to any and all products, and you can even ask questions pertaining to installation, how to fix things, and what models might be the best for you (smaller/low voltage ones for smaller cafes and larger/higher voltage ones for big corporate restaurants). I had a great experience and was able to pick up a ventilation system for the restaurant within an hour. They are also extremely loyal to their returning customers (especially for large orders) and gave my family a large discount because we purchased a ventilation system 6 years ago. The only complain I had was that it was relatively busy, and the person who helped me write up the order, was extremely busy and it took a little longer than I would have liked. Regardless though, they were extremely professional and Mr. Kwong was able to be patient and listen though my parents yelling (which is saying a lot, if you know Cantonese parents)

This is where restaurateurs come to stock their restaurants. Open to the public. They've got everything from appliances, pots and pans, plates, down to forks and knives and more. The list is endless. Ever admire the plate or cup you're drinking from at a restaurant? Chances are it was bought here. Prices are on the high side, but it doesn't hurt if you're a lookee loo.

I have been going to Economy for years as a home cook and then as an owner of a Baskin Robbins for restaurant supplies. I've never had a rude or bad experience in all of the years that I've been there. Great selection of kitchen supplies and I'm a kitchen gadget fiend.

I work for a tech company where we take care of the food program. We have used Trimark for the majority of our needs for our program (100's of thousands of $) Trimark seems to have a very difficult time: 1) Getting the orders correct 2) Entering the orders 3) Ensuring the delivery of orders 4) Following up on orders that have not been received 5) Having a log of what you have ordered in the past They have all the tools they need to be successful but whoever handles and or manages their sales department is reminiscent of a parent that regrets they had children. Goes through the motions for optics but void of substance that is useful to said child. East Bay Restaurant Supply is our new go to.

Worst customer service ever. Purchased a gutless emotion blender and was told to check my warranty. Give me a freaking break.

I don't want to totally write them off, because they probably have a lot of unusual items, but I was not impressed by this place based on my one experience. I was having a large party, and excited to have an excuse to check out this place, since I've passed by it for years. Based on the name ("economy"!), the location (industrial-ish), and the fact that they touted their price guarantee, I figured this place would have good prices. Wrong. I went in looking for a punch bowl, as the ones I found online were ugly & expensive. The ones here I found to be... ugly & expensive. But then I spotted large glass jars. The jars were Anchor Hocking 2 gallon glass jars with lids. They were about $30 each from TriMark. Seemed expensive, but I figured that it was just what they cost. After all, TriMark did have a "price guarantee." I bought 2 jars, and when I got home, saw on the bottom of the boxes that they had a walmart.com sticker. Curious, I looked online at walmart.com and saw they were available -- no price listed (had to go to store to pick up), but I looked further online and Anchor-Hocking had them for sale for $16.99 (now on sale for $9.99). I then looked on Crate & Barrel and saw the same "Heritage Hill" jars for sale for $19.99. Yes, Crate & Barrel was significantly cheaper than TriMark, people. So I checked TriMark's "price guarantee" and it says if you can find a lower price at a *local* store, you can get a price adjustment. Since the Anchor-Hocking online store isn't local, I brought in the Crate & Barrel web page to show. The cashier wouldn't accept it, saying it has to be the same item. Even though the jars had the same model name and looked exactly the same. She sent me to the manager. The manager initially gave me some hassle, because he said "but you have to add on shipping to the Crate & Barrel price" and I said "no, there's a Crate & Barrel store a mile away from here. This is a local store." We went back & forth a couple of times on this. I'm really not sure why. Eventually, he relented and gave me a partial refund. Such a hassle and waste of time, but at that point, it was the principal of the thing. Lessons learned: - "Econony" is a huge misnomer. Do NOT let the name of this place fool you. - Crate & Barrel actually has some reasonably-priced stuff. - I should check out Walmart's kitchen supply area next time I'm near a store, because they apparently have some nice stuff that's probably really cheap - Make TriMark your *last* stop, not your first. Only if you can't find what you need elsewhere. Or at least, don't buy anything here without shopping around first. - Also, TriMark is kind of dirty.

Need paper place mats for Thanksgiving - called ahead and confirmed, yep, Aisle 6. Have wanted to take hubby for a while to check out all of the great offerings. Have shopped here in the past and always found what I needed and received great service. Find the *open* case on the shelf, count out 50, noted the price per case ($42/1,000) and hopped in line. Good to go, I think. WRONG. "Oh, sorry, you need to buy the whole case." "But, here's 50 - I'll pay more per mat - I need these for Thanksgiving." "Yeah, well. No." Poked around the web, found an offering of $12/500 of the exact same place mat. So Hey, Economy Restaurant Fixtures - I tried to buy local. Tried to work with you for my purchase. And instead of working with a customer, or at least being polite about having to buy by the case, you dismissed me because I wasn't buying in bulk, and was obviously not a restaurant merchant. Why are you open to the public if you're going to be so rude about a small purchase? I'll shop your competition, and I'll still keep it local.

oh man... so many hours lost in this place. If only to gaze longingly at the Wolf//Viking professional grade stoves, hoods and tools... If you're like me and you're a Kitchen object "slut" i'd stay away. You'll be unable to walk away without armloads of restaurant quality stuff. Otherwise - awesome to find all of those kitchen kick-knacks that you've never known you needed.

I decided it was time to host Thanksgiving this year. One of the first things I decided about this was that I would brine the traditional turkey and smoke it in the backyard. Economy Restaurant Fixtures was first on the list of places that I needed to go to get my brining game together. You see, they have pretty much anything you would ever need to put together a food operation, whether we're talking about salt and pepper shakers in bulk, cutting boards, chef uniforms, cleaning supplies, stoves, popcorn machines, glasses, flatware, plates, whatever. If you need a salad spinner for a salad that will feed 30, this is the place. If you need a Lodge cast iron pan for carmelizing 10 onions, this is the place. If you need a hot dog warmer a la Seven Eleven, look no further. I was looking for a large container to put my turkey in that would fit in my fridge. They have that category completely killed. They have square vessels from 2 quarts to 22 quarts that hit the spot. You can probably get some service if you talk to the people at the desk, but in general it is assumed that you know what you're doing in this place. Like somebody already said, you are not at Williams Sonoma. It is a basic place with some serious selection and reasonable prices. Most of the things I would go in there for aren't going to be for sale at Target, so it's hard to say if they're the cheapest in town, but the prices all seem reasonable to me. Also, as far as I know, since I'm not in the restaurant business, the only day I can go in there is Saturday. You might get away with BSing someone into letting you buy stuff during the week, but if you try it, you're on your own.

Huge industrial 12 burner stove? Gigantic mixers? Frying stations? Huge freezers? 150 quart stock pots? This place has it all and had me walking around like a kid in a candy store. Except for one thing: really high prices. Yes, this place is the anti Williams-Sonoma / Sur La Table in the sense that they are more focused on function than form and you are not going to see middle aged home makers working here for the discount, but the prices are still just as high. An example: i saw a fry basket here for $85 and 30 minutes later saw that same fry basket (like the exact same fry basket, blue rubber handle and everything) at Forest Restaurant Supply for $20. It's a fun place to visit, but i really don't see myself buying anything here...ever.

Have you ever went into a restaurant and saw plates, glasses or platters that were cute? Did you say. Hm? I wonder where they get this stuff? They get it here!!! So much restaurant crap here!! It's FULL of industrial coffee makers, dishes, mixers, soda fountains, popcorn makers, huge silver food trays, napkins, paper cups, forks, spoons. Shit....everything is here!!! If you ever wanted to open your own restaurant place this is where everyone goes to stock up so you might as well, too.

Idk what the service is by all employees there, but I tried to get a quite for my office, after repeatedly having to ask the same question, the lady sort of rude says hold on! Only to never return... This is one of those places that put you on hold when they don't wanna deal with you. Well needless to say took my business elsewhere

Very hard to work with these people. Their product line is nice, but the customer service is the worst. I even talked with the manager and he cut me short and moved on to another "customer". It sad that they feel they need to treat people this way. I just don't think they care as business must be strong.

Don't let them fool you; they're open to the public. They say they're wholesale only, but anyone with money can buy stuff here. A lot of their wares are obviously being employed in the city's low-end ethnic dives, but they're my secret source for high quality pots and pans (screw your Calphalon, Williams Sonoma!!) and if you have a large household full of beer drinkers, you can get a case of 24 pint glasses here for like $12.

I love shopping here even though I am not a restauranteur This is my go to when I'm planning a party. They have everything for the bar and food. the prices are great!

Tammy was very helpful, she ordered a utility car from a different location and told me it would be there in two days. I recibes a call the next day saying the cart was ready to be picked up. I was hesitant about the product because I didn't get to see it, as it arrived in a box without assembly, but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. Signing off as a satisfied customer.

Where the pros go to shop. Well, you don't really need to be a pro to shop here but it's unlikely that you'll need a 60 quart stock pot. They've got it all here, ranges, dishes, knives, pots, pans, containers and all the hounds tooth cotton poly blend chef pants you can squeeze yer hot little ass into. Tell them you work at a restaurant and they'll knock a few bucks off the bill. Don't worry, they won't check.

"Holy moly!" I screamed as I walked through the door of this place. "Honey, I did not know they came THAT BIG!!!" Yes, my Yelp friends, just what you thought. Giant pots and pans that could cook for entire armies of people. Ever want your very own red and yellow plastic mustard and ketchup squeeze bottles? Or maybe you've always wanted the straw dispenser for your dining room. This is the place to get it! Welcome to Restaurant Supply Heaven. I actually am giving this place 4 stars because the prices are not as low as I'd like them to be. Some stuff you can find at Kamai for lots cheaper. This place has higher end stuff, and is better organized by far though. Stop on by if you like to cook for armies of people or have that secret collection of napkin dispensers you've been adding to for years. You won't be disappointed.

This is becoming a problem. Now, some little piggies like the free Jelly Bellys, like 'em so much they go back for seconds. I liked the atmosphere. I don't know what station they had it on, but it was playing all the hits. Who knew pots could be so big, or expensive? I guess I suspected. The place was pretty busy for a Saturday. They didn't have the 48" whisk in stock, or even seem to know they carried it. On the plus side, it was nice to see all those over sized things.

If you love to yelp and you've given a few restaurants 1 or 2 stars, then you should come here and equip your home kitchen professionally and yelp yourself. This place has all the goods for your restaurant start-up or if you just like to use industrial quality kitchen equipment. You can get every thing from 6 pans to giant burr mixers to ice sculpture molds. And the containers that you get here isn't like the Tupperware you get at your local grocery store, you can get high quality polycarbonate containers that won't absorb the flavors of your spoiled marinara sauce thats been sitting in the back of your fridge for the past month. I've been out of the industry for a few years, and now work for a shipping company whose name I won't mention only that their initials are FDX, anyways I just recently made a delivery there and the sales person recognized me in my uniform, that impressed me. If you can't find what you need then they can probably get it from looking at the giant carousal of catalogs by the registers.

When I used to work at Sibby's Cupcakery in San Mateo we always got our stuff here (namely our delivery bins and decorating supplies). Now I know why! Talk about being economical and the pricing structure is definitely waaaay better than going through retail - case in point below: Can someone tell me why a metro shelving unit at The Container Store costs $352.00 when you can get the SAME EXACT thing at Economy Restaurant Fixtures for $132.00? My partner and I definitely will be going here for our kitchen pantry shelving unit. Update: The customer service is here awesome! They even called a cab for us so we could get home with our new shelving unit. The cost was under $200 and we purchased 6 shelves - 1 1/2' x 4' x 6'. (Secret sauce...I was in the container store a few days later and saw a couple picking out the $400 shelving unit - needless to say after the store clerk helped them I snuck in and told them to go to Economy Restaurant Fixtures).

This place is titillating for any aspiring cook! They have tons of great supplies with a good breadth of sizes. For example, three sizes of cheese graters, and a huge whisk that went from the floor to my waist! (someone would have to be serious about scrambled eggs to buy that thing!). The staff are very congenial and quite helpful, which is a bonus. It is a warehouse for restaurants, so the decor is not fancypants like Williams Sonoma or Sur La Table but I'd rather shop here out of convenience -- it is near my workplace and I can avoid going downtown. I'd say the pricing is about average retail rates for most things like utensils and kitchenware. You can also check out the random things like stoves, breadbaskets, fryers, china and chalkboards? Or, peruse (read DROOL) the stoves with 6 burners. Sigh.

This place is awesome. We bought a stainless-steel cart from IKEA and really wanted a nice John Boos butcher block top. We called all over the Bay area and prices were somewhat high. Most of the "butcher block" was for kitchen counters and not really what we wanted (not maple, lacquered, etc.). Decided to stop in Economy Restaurant Fixtures on our Saturday morning run -- we were a bit sweaty, but that didn't seem to phase our salesperson. He even let me use his tape measure :) They carry John Boos butcher block tops in different sizes. We got exactly what we wanted and got a great deal to boot! Service was fantastic! If you need butcher block, this is the place to go.

I almost don't want to post a review. Im going to give the world my secret. Lucky for you I have little will power. This place is any restaurant persons dream. Ill say it's any home host or hostesses heaven. You can find the tiniest funnel to a huge mixer for pastry. Ask for Alan Y, he is so nice and friendly. Have a blast!

There's free soda, popcorn and jelly beans!!! XD haha obviously I was just browsing with my dad. and it's like heaven.. they have SO many things for sale for your future or current restaurant/food place. Anyway you should probably check prices online first before buying some of the items there. I think you can work out a better price with the cashier people too.

Mmm... commercial kitchen warehouse... I am just a person who bakes as a hobby, but I really like this place. It's great if you're looking basically for anything related to cooking and baking under the sun! Whether you're starting a restaurant or just like the quality of commercial kitchen stuff, this is the place to go. It's worth the trip if you load up (think Costco). What do I buy: *Containers to store my flour and sugar - plastic tubs *Baking sheet pans- these are the best! *Pizza peel- cheap and hardcore

I bought an ice machine a year ago and it has broken down twice for the same Fan problem within a year! They have bad customer service. The technician guy has a very sketchy schedule keep delaying and what even worst? It took him two weeks to actually showed up. After that, he promised to come the next day with the parts to fix the problem. However he kept saying he'll come "in the next hour, in the next day" for a week BUT NEVER SHOWED UP! If you are busy or cannot come just say you can't come and give us an available date. Lying and breaking the promises is not a good habit. The guy at Parts and labor department won't even apologize for the delay but told me "You're not listening" on the phone. I don't think "You're not listening" is a phrase to use to talk to customer period. Plus Trimark won't refund or return for this purchase broken down twice in a year after I bought. Their super late repair serive are not free either. They told me it can be my problem for not doing the maintenance well.

Fun place for all my restaurant needs. Some stuff are priced great and some stuff are a bit over priced and can be found cheaper elsewhere, just all depends on what you're looking for. Always nice service and reliable products.

The anti-Williams Sonoma. Curious types will find this place worth their while just to get a glimpse of some of the industrial-strength (and I do mean industrial) appliances, many of which run several thousand dollars. Like the 5-gallon electric mixers or rice cookers, or the two-sided sandwich grills that will put your puny George Foreman to shame. Seriously, there's some absurdly large stuff here, right down to the humongo potato masher sticks that are as long as your arm. It's also pretty neat that your fellow shoppers are actually the folks who own the restaurants you eat at. But it's actually a pretty useful source of everyday kitchen gear as well, *especially* bar and glassware, so if you're an aspiring mixologist, make sure to swing by. You'll save a lot of effort and cash.

So this review is a little biased because I did a super short stint in pastry. They have tons of great stuff for the home chef but are a little lacking in the pastry section for the professional. I wanted some bottomless tart rings and they had only one size. I put in an order for some but they never got back to me and I didn't feel like trying to find out what happened. They did say they were trying to expand their pastry equipment stock but I haven't been back since to check. I also once needed a quote on a deli fridge for my science gig and they got it to me really quickly and were very helpful on the phone.

Wonderfully organized, big, well stocked restaurant supply store! Everything for the consumer (tongs, serving bowls, dish towels) but also for the pro and pro-sumer business side of things (large rubber mats, bar stools, hobart mixers and other machinery). I felt like spinning around in the circles like they do in Sound of Music.

For the cook, or aspiring top chef, this is the place to go. Commercial grade stuff you might not find in retail stores. Anything you're missing from williams sonoma, sur la table or crate and barrel will most likely be here. I was quite impressed with the cambo containers, and the array of thermometers. I'll be back!

I find the employees here and on the phone to be very rude and unhelpful. No one really wants to do a stock check. You are on hold forever. You really need to know what you want to buy and go to the store. If you have the time and don't mind the shipping cost, buy the same items online. You'll notice in the store that no one will approach you if you need help unless they see that you are already carrying something in your hand...which seems to imply that they are on commission.

Wow! Everything you may need to start/ open your restaurant, pop-up, food truck, or catering business! From shot glasses & silverware to suvee machines & chefs attire. Menu covers & ice makers!
