Serve Gourmet Gadgets & Goods

My sister gave me a gift card for this store because at the time their online store existed. They closed the online store, so I didn’t have the option to shop on the web. I also wasn’t traveling to Austin. When I called the store and told the customer clerk my issue, she immediately offered to help me. I told her what I wanted. She also made me suggestions. Any other store would have been annoyed to help me. I didn’t feel like a burden. Best thing? They waived the shipping fees! Great store with adorable kitchen stables and gadgets.

I love this store!!! Its right downtown so you can stroll there after brunch and get something unique, cool, and useful. I bought a set of Moscow Mule mugs among other things that I always get compliments on. It makes me so happy to support a local Austin business. Next up, I’ve got my eye on a Vitamix!

Looking for a new kitchen toy? Check this place out! They easily match up to a Williams-​Sonoma or Sur La Table. The owners were incredibly kind and chatty, and I found some famous Lammes candies here, so I can take chocolate-​covered pecan Longhorns home with me and make everyone jealous of my Austin visit!

Great store with very kind and knowledgable owner as well as staff. They are super helpful and will go out of their way to make sure that you get a product designed exactly for your needs rather than just selling you what you think you need. I love having stores like this downtown, it’s what makes living in a walkable part of the city great.

Love love loved this store! Tons of kitchen gadgets and cute houseware goodies. They also have local salsa and sauces. Definitely stop in if you’re in downtown Austin!

Stopped into Serve to get a housewarming gift for a friend last weekend. I assumed based on the location that prices would be outrageous but they were actually very reasonable! The man working there was very welcoming and gave me some good suggestions for a gift without being pushy at all. I ended up getting an awesome cheese board that swings open and has a set of cheese knives inside. They had some really cool stuff in there and I will definitely be back for gifts in the future and probably pick up a few things for myself as well.

What a great little kitchen store. Never too soon to start getting stocking stuffers!

SERVE Gourmet Gadgets & Goods is a great place to shop for anything and everything in the kitchen. This gem is locally owned and carries some great Austin themed gifts to include cook books, wine glasses and sauces.
I am usually intimidated walking into a kitchen ware store. When I walked into SERVE it felt inviting, the displays were thoughtful and the space open. The manager and staff were very helpful while still giving me space to shop. They carry quality brands to include Le Cruset, Wusthof, Kitchenaide and Vitamix. I was impressed that they have glass for nearly every cocktail and occasion. When I stopped in a chef was demoing how to carve a turkey with cutlery that was on sale. I was recently gifted with a lamb shoulder and chef Mike took the time to give me some excellent ideas on how to prepare it.
I walked out with a classic Westhof santoku knife (let the slicing and dicing begin!), kitchen shears and a Moscow Mule mug. If you are looking to shop local for the holidays I recommend checking this place out.

This place is straight up awesome.
It’s a «boutique» that sells all sorts of niche and high-​end kitchen items e.g. Le creuset and Vitamix.
I’ve been to a few high-​end kitchen stores around TX — both local and national chains including Sur La Table and Kuhl Linscomb, and William Sonoma, but nothing’s really come close to the awesomeness of this store.
The inventory of this store is pretty small but it strives to carry the most useful and «coolest» kitchen goods. In other words, the buying is top-​notch. Picked up a measuring cup (?), which has the size of a shot glass and a jarkey, none of which I’ve seen at other local stores.
The people who work here are very attentive and knowledgeable. An added bonus is the rack of Texas-​themed cookbooks and local snacks. It’s a good place for conference visitors to pick up gifts.
The prices are at retail with some items (even le creuset) on sale once in a while.

Walking down 3^rd St last night after dinner right about 9pm, and a gentleman walks out of Serve to lock up right as I exclaim to my boyfriend «look at that! What a cool store!!» The gentleman, named Bob, exclaims «This IS a cool store! Come in!»
He invited us in, delaying closing and getting home to his wife, just to let us look around! Super cool store with fun kitchen gadgets. Bob walked us around pointing out his favorites. Great place to pick up something for yourself or a gift for another. They even have the treasured Texas waffle irons here – a must for any Texan!
Worth checking out just to look around, or to have a friendly chat with Bob. Folks like Bob are what makes Texas a great place.

Great place to pick up a gift located right in the heart of downtown Austin — convenient to walk to from many hotels in the area. Great Texas souvenirs too!

My fiancé and I recently registered for our wedding at Serve. Upon our arrival, the owners greeted us with a bottle of champagne and a variety of cute little snacks. They were full of enthusiasm and so eager to hear about our wedding plans. They patiently guided us through the entire shop, making suggestions and answering questions about all of their products. They are so knowledgeable about everything in their store and they hit the perfect balance of being helpful without being pushy. The store is full of beautiful, high-​quality standard kitchen goods along with an assortment of fun, quirky items. The entire registration experience was so smooth and enjoyable and it was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. Serve is the perfect place to register for a wedding and Austin is lucky to have this gem of a store!
