Review from Kat F.

Come here for all your fancy kitchen prop needs. If you're a cooking school student you get a discount - unfortunately I wasn't able to convince the cashier of my lifelong culinary education so I didn't get said discount, but that doesn't mean I didn't practically empty the store's shelves anyway.
I did, however, pick up some fancy pastry knives, bowl scrapers and clear bowls in a dizzying range of sizes for the ever-impressive 'mise en place' spread that is so satisfying to complete and looks great on a kitchen counter.
Also, they have those wide paddle knives that are excellent for sandwich spreads - $1.59 each. For example, smearing an entire tub of Cheese Magic hummus or herb & garlic cream cheese onto one side of a bagel. You know?
TIP: If you want to buy one of those fancy chrome wire racks that all chefs have, you can buy custom ones here but they're $$ and have to be custom ordered. I picked up the same thing (http://www.canadiantir...) at Canadian Tire for a fraction of the price, where they often go on sale.
Finally, I hear that at the other Nella locations you can take cooking classes taught by megacute boys. "I'm in!"Listed in: Home Decor 101

Review from Rona M.

Nella's vast selection and below-average prices had me seriously excited when I walked in for what should have been the first purchase of many--a beautiful, 10-inch frying pan that turned out to be defective (it did not sit flat on my ceramic burner). When I returned with pan and receipt in hand, the store would not replace it but instead directed me to the manufacturer in California--a slow and expensive non-solution to my problem. I live walking distance from Nella and had looked forward to updating my kitchen gear there. I'd rather take my business to a store that values customer loyalty and stands behind what it sells.
