Knife Stores in Ann Arbor, Michigan

"I was thrilled about the variety of items, especially the cute aprons. It felt like a Williams-Sonoma, but more approachable. One star off because I had a Visa rewards card with $20 and for whatever reason, the shop's system would not take it (the clerk was kind enough to tell me, "it's not your card, it's us"). I was told that management is aware of the problem but hadn't been getting to it, which is disappointing. I hope that gets rectified so..."

"I love this store, they have everything you could possibly want and a staff who knows what they’re doing, a rare treat these days. My daughter makes sure she pops in every time she visits from NYC, a nice compliment because I raised a very choosy child. The perfect go-to for their amazing kitchen towels that soak up a hundred times their weight in water (maybe it just seems like it) and those magical little dish scrubbies that work wonders on the..."

"This is a great new store in Kerrytown! I found almost all of my holiday gifts here. The staff was super helpful and very friendly (I'm in a boot and they went above and beyond to make sure I didn't have to walk or carry too much around the store). I was able to find a lot of unique items and many made locally or in Michigan. I would highly recommend checking them out and supporting the new shop!"

"The Kitchen Loft is a very fun place to shop. The variety is awesome. I was pleased to find exactly what I was looking for, too - clear ramekins. I have looked high and low in big box stores with no luck so kudos to The Kitchen Loft. I happened to drop in the weekend before Christmas and the sales associates were very calm, helpful, efficient and so personable, too. I will return."

"The pasta-making class with Chef Marcia was great! She was knowledgeable, funny, and you could tell she really enjoys teaching people about food. Both the Pesto Farfalle and the Tuscan Pappardelle dishes we made were so delicious! I'm looking forward to future cooking classes with Chef Marcia!"

"I didn’t want to leave a negative review without first giving Sur La Table’s customer service a chance to address my concerns. Unfortunately, despite reaching out, I never received a response. After looking into recent reviews for the Ann Arbor Sur La Table location, I realized my experience wasn’t an isolated incident—many of the most recent reviews are also 1-star, citing similar issues with class quality and organization. We recently attended..."

"Very disappointed that the Mother's Day Brunch featuring All-Clad cooking class was canceled a day before it was supposed to happen. This was my Mother's Day gift to my mom and we were SO excited to do this together. Mother's Day is notoriously chaotic from a retail and hospitality perspective, which is why I'm shocked that they didn't have a plan B to account for staffing issues. (That's why the class was canceled.) I'm not the kind of person ..."

"I was pretty disappointed with my experience. I paid $100 bucks per person for myself and my girlfriend for our 1 year anniversary. I chose the class on Beef Wellington as it sounded different to things I can cook. First issue is I didn’t understand that this cooking class you wouldn’t be cooking your own food. The food planned for the class was barely enough to feed everyone. I thought it would be a small Wellington per person, not two small we..."
