Growing up, I always swore I would never become my mother -- meaning I would never go gaga over kitchen appliances, gadgets and coffee makers... well, never say never. I'm exactly like her! I absolutely LOVE Sur La Table and can spend hours in here looking at gadgets, pots, pans, and baking supplies; not to mention their high-tech coffee makers that make that perfect cup of delectable decadence coffee sure to please your taste buds.
The staff at the Kierland location are superb as well. They are extremely attentive to your needs and allow you to try out coffee machines before you buy (secretly though, they do it to get you hyped up on caffeine so you'll be so excited about the coffee, you'll forget about the price). Sur La Table also offers cooking classes which is a great bonus; not only do they sell kitchen gadgets, they show you how to use them (which let's be honest, some of those gadgets look like they're from the future).
