Editorial Review for Peppercorn – by Bryce Edmonds
In Short
Founded in 1977 as a cooking school and small gourmet kitchen store, Peppercorn now sits somewhere in between mom-and-pop and mega-store. Every available square inch is used for displays of professional-quality Calphalon pots, Henckels cutlery and La Pavoni lever espresso-makers are just a few of the brands. Quality--which can sometimes mean pricey--is the buzzword for the entire spectrum of products, and gourmet is the focus.

Everything is overpriced and reeks of snotty, but this is a good place to check out if your grandma's in town or if you feel like being crafty and need some good ideas. Really, with some time and motivation, anyone could make the kind of stuff this place sells.

I have tried to shop at the Peppercorn a number of times. I started when I was a cooking novice and found the staff pretentious and very dis-interested if I didn't want to purchase only the priciest and "chicest" equipment. While the people in the cook ware and cook book sections are bad, the housewares and china staff are impossible. I actually became disinchanted enough that I would wait to shop until I was on the west coast on business. I also discovered a wonderful alternative in Ft. Collins - much closer to home. Give up the "too cool for you" attitude!
Pros: lot of selection, quality goods
Cons: poor staff attitude, unfriendly service, overpriced
