Sign of the Bear Kitchenware, Sonoma CA

My husband and I stumbled into this store.and I'm so glad we did. I've been talking about getting new knives for a least a year as I love to cook, eat, and entertain. The owner was so knowledgeable about knives. I was like a kid in a candy store. She (I wish I remembered her name) pulled out approximately 20 knifes for me to test, hold, and she educated and explained what each knife was specifically used for, which helped me narrow down my selection. We purchased a block set of knifes (Avanta 16 piece set) and a few extra knives. After sending approximately $400. I have no regrets about my purchase. The owner absolutely inspired my purchase. She is passionate about cooking as I am, and I appreciate her excellent customer service and attention to detail. I'll forever be a customer! I cooked the other day, and I was amazed. My new knives are top tier! Next time I'm in Sonoma, I'll definitely stop by again.

Check receipt! I was overcharged by almost 20%. They guy at the register had absolutely no personality and seems bored to tears at having to work. I think he was just randomly charging since most of the customers are tourists. Otherwise, the store is very cute. Very similar to Sur La Table and extra quaint in downtown Sonoma.

Great kitchen and gift store with all the regular stuff plus feature lines like lots of olive wood charcuterie pieces.

Sign of the Bear is a treasure trove of wonderful items that left me truly captivated. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by a captivating display of wood items that showcased the shop's commitment to craftsmanship and quality. It was a feast for the eyes, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the skill and artistry that went into creating each piece.

The staff at Sign of the Bear deserves special recognition for their exceptional service. From the moment we entered, their warm and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease. They were knowledgeable about the products and enthusiastically answered all our questions. What stood out, however, was their kindness towards my children. They went above and beyond by surprising them with free glow sticks, which instantly brought smiles to their faces. It's these small gestures of generosity that truly make a shopping experience memorable.

The craftsmanship was impeccable, and the natural beauty of the wood was allowed to shine through. It was a pleasure exploring the different textures and designs, each telling its own story.

Overall, my experience at Sign of the Bear was delightful. The combination of a charming atmosphere, friendly staff, and an incredible selection of wood items made it a memorable visit.

A kitchen supply wonder with the nicest staff. While it’s always bustling, love checking out their wares and it’s also fun to check out their dish towels with funny sayings….

Best kitchen store ever! Fab selection, unusual items too, very friendly and appreciative staff and crazy good, moderate pricing. Love, love, love this store.

One of my favorite stores in town. A great place to get regular kitchen stuff but there's always cute fun finds at fair prices!
