Overall, the store is very expensive and the staff could use a lesson customer service. You can find a better selection of cook books at The 'Cookbook Store' (Yorkville and Yonge). As for the 'knick knacks' go to Blue Banana across the Street. At least there you will be supporting local artists instead of the larger corporations behind the items sold at 'Good Egg'. They also have great customer service and the environment is welcoming and a lot of fun.
