Sur La Table

Fair selection but items are overpriced. Williams Sonoma far superior for the variety and quality. But it’s a nice Nespresso boutique.

They had floor samples on clearance for well above the price of a new item in your box. When I asked, the manager said that’s what the company wants him to seek it for. Opposite of a can-​do attitude

Awesome customer service! As soon as we walked in, someone approached us and gave us a brief walk through. They had this ice cream machine that was really good. They had all sorts of cool knickknacks to make tasty snacks. I will definitely be returning soon.

I never cook and have no idea what I’m doing in the kitchen. I was beyond clueless coming into this store and it was intimidating because there are so many fancy random things that I would have never had a clue what they were used for if it wasn’t for derrick and Chris. Chris was especially knowledgable about cooking and giving me tips on how to’s in the kitchen. In the end I bought everything I needed and then some. I will be coming back and Ofcourse I will call to find out if my two favorites are there before going! Thanks guys!

Sur La Table is probably my favorite kitchen store and this location is super convenient to get to. I’m used to shopping at the Sur La Table location near Pike Place in Seattle, so shopping in a store that is large and not crammed with kitchen gadgets is amazing. The store is located next to Nordstrom on the 1^st level of the mall.
The back corner of the store actually has a Nespresso section where you can buy the Nespresso machines and capsules. I recently invested in a Nespresso machine and the employee from Nespresso who helped me was incredibly informative. She went over each of the machines and discussed the pros and cons of each one. In the end she actually talked me into one of the cheaper models instead of the most expensive one, which was a huge savings. They also will make samples for you to try out the different capsules.
There is a great selection in the rest of the store of different kitchen gadgets, plates, seasonal items, and even a small area of sauces, oils, and other condiments. This location even sells the amazing bacon jam by Skillet Dinner! Whenever I’m looking for anything I’ve always been able to find help from an employee who has been able to provide other recommendations of similar kitchen gadgets as well. Most of the employees are informative and up-​to-​date on the kitchenware.

Horrible customer service. Some officious little twit named Stephanie works at this store and thinks that chasing off customers who she can magically tell aren’t going to purchase anything and then boasting about it in ear shot of other customers is professional! Unbelievable. It is unfortunate because SLT is a decent place for tools. But while they have a person who imagines that her short trip from Hialeah to Aventura makes her a better class of person than her customer, a person so devoid of basic manners or retail skills, a below-​average intelligence with no self-​reflexivity, I won’t be coming back. And just to be clear, people who are operating a Nespresso display and making coffees to sell the machine, make people FREE coffee with a smile because that is what sells the machine. If you don’t want to make free coffee but just want to sell the machine, then just leave it on your shelf and don’t offer the coffee! You can’t offer some people coffee and then give other people a hard time when they want a sample because Madame Stephanie of the inner blind eye can tell that they aren’t going to buy the machine! What an idiot.

Go to Williams Sonomoa, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target anywhere but here. I’m not criticizing this store location, but the entire biz. Website is shoddy — was unable to complete my purchase — even by phone — rep had same problem with no apology. Finally, completed purchase after trying for several days — this was a problem with the site and I can’t believe it took days to fix. I received the item — was not at all what it appeared to be online, so I went to the Aventura store to return it. I’ve never been in one of their stores before and found it to be junky. The return policy is ridiculous — they don’t put the price on your receipt so the rep in the store has to call the catalog to verify what you paid — very inefficient. I exchanged my online purchase for another item in the store and now I can’t even use the item because of the glue they used to attach the label to the inside — really? It won’t come off with hot water, soap, scrubbing and a run through the dishwasher… another return. Heed this review — don’t bother.

Great store. After getting horrible, horrible service at another Aventura store this same day, I came here hoping for better luck. They were wonderful. I was making a return but I was too tired to shop for replacement items so I just requested a gift card to come back. In a matter of minutes they had everything ready to go AND with a smile. The guy that helped me (never got his name) was really helpful and even offered to hold my items while I was in the short line.

If you love to cook and buy cool cooking stuff at premium prices — this is the place for you. They have a lot of speciality items, like extra large square ice cubes for scotch drinkers, that no one else has.
The customer service is excellent and you can spend an hour exploring and making up reasons to buy stuff you will never use.
Awesome!

I am a big fan of this place. It is like a cross between Williams Sonoma and Bed Bath & Beyond. It is that combination of high end and low end that makes this place so much fun to just browse through. And they have some real hidden gems. I strongly recommend the honey with truffle (a truly great option to add to cheese) and the truffle salt.

Sur La Table has everything William Sonoma/​BBB/​Target doesn’t.
1. Quality pots and pans, they have their own line in addition to Le Creuset.
2. Baking supplies including piping bags, a wall of tips, parchment paper, cut out shapes in everything you can imagine.
3. Cooking twine!
4. Non-​inflated prices!!!
5. Non-​pretentious William Sonoma-​ish employees.
I can finally make macroons. Now I can tie my filet mignons. I now have stainless steel circles. I’ve always wanted circles!
Like another reviewer said, I would deinitely move in.

I just had a great experience at this store. In other stores, the employees can act like they’re doing you a favor by answering a question– not here. I’ve been shopping for a dutch oven since before Christmas. The employee who helped me taught me a lot about the products and didn’t scoff when I couldn’t pronounce the French name– so sweet. I bought the oven and a grill pan, I can’t wait to go back. Plus their prices are right on track. take it from me, I scanned the thing with my iphone and they didn’t even blink an eye, that freaks some retailers out…

If I could move into this store I would. What’s not to love about Sur La Table? They have everything imaginable for those who love cooking, baking and entertaining. Sure it’s like Williams Sonoma but (in my opinion) better because it’s more laid back, plus the prices are less expensive. Prime example: I’ve been in the market for a quality cast iron skillet and found the exact same one for less than I did at Williams Sonoma earlier that day.
This store, although seems a bit smaller than I would like, is chock full of the coolest items. Everything from high end cooking oils and hard to find ingredients, to a rotating collection of cookie cutters! I already know I have to go back and buy a few dinosaur shapes for when my nephew visits. Stegosaurus cookies? I got this.
But the major selling point for me about this store is that they also have a Nespresso Café/​store inside! We’ve taken a few trips down to the South Beach store, and it’s always nice, but when you live with an espresso addict like I do, having instant inventory close by is a *must.* And the girl behind the counter was so pleasant — she even informed us of red velvet cake samples that were at the front counter.
If you happen to find yourself in the Aventura mall and enjoy kitchen gadgets and other food-​related trinkets, definitely make your way into this store. Though I can’t guarantee you won’t want to buy everything under the roof.

You will find Sur La table in Aventura Mall next to Nordstrom on Level 1. It’s stocked floor to ceiling with fun kitchen gadgets and has a huge selection (one entire corner of the store) of Nespresso products.
They have lots of stuff to keep the chef or baker in you happy. I noticed a lot more baking gizmos than I have seen in a long time in any one store. Today I was in a hurry through and just noticed this place out of the corner of my eye so HAD to have a peek inside — didn’t buy anything this trip.
Walking in the door to the smell of sauteing onions is a nice touch :)
