Every town should have its own version of The Cupboard! This great store carries kitchen hard goods such as pots and pans, baking supplies, gadgets, dishes, silverware, a huge selection of glasses, fine knives, a large selection of coffee beans/makers/mugs, several fixtures of teas and their accouterments, candles, imported foodstuff, cookbooks, novelty candy, and a few cold cases of truffles, chocolates, and other confections.
During the holiday season, this selection is augmented by Christmas ornaments (many imported from Germany) and other gift selections. Upstairs houses a several aisles of cookbooks, baskets, rugs, and other accessories. Add to this the line-up of cooking classes held in the evenings, and you pretty much have a full-stop kitchen store of your dreams. It is very hard to walk in and not find something you just *have* to have!
Prices are a tad on the high side, but it is usually worth the extra cost in order to support a local icon like the Cupboard!
