Sur La Table

If you are ever looking for a specialty kitchen item or gadget, stroll on in to Sur La Table and cross your fingers that you don’t have to say the name out loud (sir le tahb? Soor la tay-​ble? Soor le Tahblay?). I’m pretty sure it is French, and I’m pretty sure I don’t sound intelligent when I try to pronounce it.
I am no wiz in the kitchen, which is probably why I am constantly Unilocaling for new restaurants to try, but when I do feel like making a fool of myself, I often swing in to SLT for those one-​off random recipe needs (like a lime zester). Their prices are pretty high, which is to be expected for a specialty store, but everything is high-​quality and the staff at this location have always been extremely helpful.

A great spot for finding any cooking utensil you may be looking for, pricey but well organized, clean and knowledgeable staff.

I Love! Love! Love! This store! If you are a kitchen gadget freak like me, and love to cook, this is your go to place! They have everything from high end automated espresso machines to silicone pot handles.
I have a home full of kitchen gadgets, yet I never fail to find a new gadget to suit my fancy! My newest to love affair is with Le’kue’, A new silicone product from Spain that Steams in the microwave or bakes in the oven up to 400°. I’m on a diet and I have found the new silicone omelette maker indispensable and I steam fish and vegetables at least twice a week in their steam case.
Make sure you stop by the back of the store where they have the Jura espresso machines and sample a free latte, like I did for two years before deciding to purchase one. If it hadn’t been for Sur la table I would have never tried one And now I can’t even imagine going a day without having a fresh brewed latte from my automated Jura that rivals any coffee house in town for quality. Yeah! It’s that good.
So…the moral of the story is… What ever your gadget obsession is, Sur la Table is your hook up.

Great store for people who love to cook. I found my food grade mineral oil for my bamboo cutting board at the same price as Amazon. Lots and lots of gadgets and hard to find kitchen items. Although I’m still on a quest for blue corn meal. They do have a few food items but unfortunately this wasn’t one of them.
The thing that really stood out at this place was the staff. The first time we went the girl was super friendly, attentive, and engaging. The second time we went we talked to three completely different people… same awesomeness! My wife even witnessed an extremely rude, uppity, customer speaking down to one of the staff and she handled it with grace… not sure I could have.
Super cool kitchen and cooking supply, on the Plaza, competitive for it’s location, and great staff. I wish it were closer to home, but we’ll definitely be back!

I have never walked in and out of this store empty-​handed. Granted, my weakness is new kitchenware (not Kitchenware the brand, just the stuff that is used in the kitchen), but this store just does it right. We registered here and were helped by Jesse, who is the sweetest and most helpful. And also remembers us when we come in (not sure if that is a good or a bad sign). There is one guy who is newer… and I have been very high-​maintenance when I come in (buying off two different registries, using a 20% off coupon and a free shipping coupon, asking him to send it all — all in the same visit) and even though I am super confusing, he does it all with a huge smile on his face! I’d kill me. I also like the manager a lot. He is kind of a quiet expert, if that makes any sense. I have overheard him politely correct confused patrons without insulting them or sounding like a know-​it-​all. He also made us some amazing potatoes when we went in early (they let you in an hour before they open) to register. Now, dear sir, don’t my taters taste like that? We bought all your stuff???

Very pleased with every aspect of this store… great customer service and knowledge that they love to share. Can usually find good high end items on sale or in the clearance shelf. Their standard pricing is very similar to factory direct outlets too… great place to blow some money if you love your kitchen.

A+
I like to cook. My soon-​to-​be wife loves to cook. Naturally we registered here for upcoming nuptials.
This place has it all if you like to cook. Coffee makers, copper pans, really cool knives, grilling gear, you name it they got it.
We registered at three places and this one was by far the best experience. They let us come in a couple of hours before they opened on a Saturday morning. Used the stuff we were interested in and made us an awesome breakfast with coffee and then walked us through the store showing us the the layout so that we didn’t miss a thing.
Also, all the times I have been in the store to purchase things the customer service level is top notch as well.
If you need something for the kitchen, this place should be your first stop.

I’m glad Sur La Table has made it to KC.
It is definitely the perfect place to find almost whatever kitchen gadget you need.
They do have items on sale and most of the time a decent clearance section.
The store itself is small and packed to the rafters with merchandise. It is very easy to bump into others or displays. It would be nice if it was larger and offered cooking classes and demos as other locations.
Regardless, the employees are very friendly and helpful. Sur La Table is a great addition to the Plaza.

When I lived in Southern California, not far from Pasedena, Sur la Table was a favorite outing! It is very similar to kitchen and dining supply stores for the home, such as Williams-​Sonoma or Crate and Barrel, but I like it better. The atmosphere focuses on what is «on the table,» (the translation of the French name of the store, mais bien sur), and for placemats, napkins and an assortment of dishes, one can find no better. Cooking utensils, kitchen gadgetry, and food storage are also well represented. I fully recommend a visit to Sur La Table for both purchases and window shopping. I am thrilled that Sur La Table is now on The Country Club Plaza in Kansas City.

My new FAVORITE store!!! I love kitchen/​foodie type stores, they are the heart of me.
I walked in this last weekend, and it was like the angel choir singing… waaaahhh!
I love the layout… With cookware, snacks, spatulas, gidgy gadgy stuff and baking needs.
If you love the kitchen, this place bleeds fun for you!

Add Sur La Table as one of my favorite cake baking shop. I went there searching for a milk frother. (Which they had, and I bought, and it works like a charm). A quick glance around to my left, and there’s a stacked set of Fat Daddio’s cake pans. Be stilleth my cake baking heart!
I got a closer look at the shelves. They have the triangle cake pans I want. And the hexagonal cake pans are there as well. I also found the no taste red frosting coloring by Wiltons, and all of the frosting colors, and tools, and everything you could want.
All this, in the same store as a $ 1,000.00 stand alone mixer. They also carry tons of knives. About to get some ceramic knives cause those are unique and work. They carry their own line of dishes, and one is a funky square, I love them. They will eventually be on my table. I suspect Sur La Table to overtake my kitchen and baking shelves, as Pryde’s just about does. As for prices, they are the regular price of anywhere else. So go and check out this cool little shop. Especially if you bake and decorate cakes… just a quick note… don’t drink the latte from the $ 1,000.00 machine, it is bitter and awful.

Another kitchen gadget store!
This is a good one. Endorsed by a number of heavy hitters in the celebrity chef world. This place is ram packed with items, both exotic and tame.
1. The bar and stemware. Schott Zwiesel crystal glass by the piece. you don’t have to buy a set, just buy as many as you need. Yes, we’ve been buying the Martini glasses.
2. Endless cookie cutter shapes. When we tried to find unique shapes for our daughter we couldn’t find very many. Here they are and what a variety.
3. Knives
4. Paella Pans. I’d love to have a paella pan but have very little use for it.

You really have to love this store for many reasons. Here are a few:
1. Great selection of kitchen gadgets
2. Every type and size of pot and pan you can think of
3. Friendly but not overbearing sales associates.
4. Nice open feel to the store.
On a recent first visit I spent the better part of a hour rummaging around this location trying to figure out how to spend the money that was burning a hole in my pocket, I did.
I was a little disappointed that some of the more impressive cooking equipment wasn’t on prominent display or in demonstration mode. The location is perfect on the plaza and easy to get in and out of. I will be back as I need more gadgets and kitchen towels.

This store (new to the Plaza and Kansas City), along with Williams-​Sonoma and the Better Cheddar, help make the Plaza a bit more of a destination for foodie shoppers. It’s not all fashion and accessories any more!
Sur La Table has a very nice range of table, cooking and kitchenware. Not bargain priced, but there are reasonable items to be found. (I picked up a couple of small packets of reusable bouqet garni bags.) There are small appliances like coffee machines, food processors and ice cream makers, supplies and equipment for those who’ve bought into Soda Stream, and quite a bit of baking equipments (lots of cookie cutters) with some ingredients like fine baking chocolate. It’s not quite as comprehensive as locally-​owned Pryde’s, in nearby Westport, but comparable, I’d say, to locally-​owned Function Junction in Crown Center. Service was friendly and attentive. All in all, Sur La Table is a very nice addition to the city — in combination with some of the other stores mentioned serious cooks should be able to find just about anything they need right here in Kansas City!

Brand new store. Great selection of upper tier kitchen stuffs. Good selection of top tier coffee makers and espresso machines. Grilling section is smaller but ample and they’ve got quite an array of glassware!
Reminiscent of Williams and Sonoma with just a touch less frivilous crap. Employees here are very nice, knowledgable and helpful. Well worth checking out!
