Kitchen Kaboodle

Lots and lots of household goods, not just kitchenware. More expensive than Target or similar stores, but it’s higher quality and there’s more of a selection. There were some nice patio chairs I saw today, but the fact that it was hailing outside made it hard to take the thought seriously. May go back for the perfect espresso cup set that I want, but don’t need. Well, will likely go back, but I’ll pretend I’m not going to.

I love this particular Kitchen Kaboodle, first off it is right next to New Seasons, so I can zip over there and do my grocery shopping, secondly I think it is much larger than the one near Washington Square.
They started out using the entire store, but for some reason now they have part of the store blocked off which makes little sense to me, they used to carry many more items than they do now, but still I feel it has more space/​items than the other store.
They carry every imaginable toy a home chef such as myself could want and they are very knowledgeable about their products. If they don’t have what you want they will order it for you. I find myself needing some specialty items on occasion, and they generally carry exactly what I am looking for. They have a little bit of everything from serving platters to cookware, kitchen gadgets galore and even furniture.
I also get carbonators there for my Soda Stream, you bring your empty cartridge and buy a new one.
They are however, not inexpensive, but as long as you know that going in you won’t be shocked!

Okay, Kitchen Kaboodle is like Toys R Us for home chefs.
I’ve been through here 8 – 10 times over the past years, and I could literally just hang out here all day.
I had some time to kill while Wife N. got some new blue goo in her doo across the street at Bishops barber shop. Having to wait a couple hours for her hair to transform from silvery-​blonde to eye-​searing-​indigo gave me the perfect excuse to head to my favorite kitchen toy store.
Today I was on a quest for a skillet. But not just any skillet. A quality 8″ triple-​clad stainless steel fry pan. And, not 60-​seconds into my visit, I found exactly what I was looking for.
On the whole, Kitchen Kaboodle is a bit of a retail place, with their prices being about «average». But every once in a while, as was the case with my new pan, you find a great deal. This time, I got 65% off the $ 80 marked price, and netted myself a $ 28 steal of a lovely Cuisinart sauté pan.
It doesn’t matter what you’re looking for in terms of kitchen stuff. New set of dishes? Yep, in 50 styles and colors. Glassware – over there on that really long wall. Spatulas: Yep, just LOOK at that selection! Make-​it-​at-​home soda fountain: yep, that whole island.
They always ask if I found everything I was looking for. My answer here has always been «Oh, I found way MORE than I was looking for». This is one of those places where you must engage full self control, lest you wind up purchasing way more than you came for. Today, I succeeded. In the past, not so much.
But I got lots of cool toys in the kitchen.

I wandered into this store on a walk when we first moved to Oregon. I keep coming back! I love their kitchen and dining accessories, but they also have a lovely selection of furniture. Since my first visit we have ordered two danish modern chairs and a dining set for our kitchen. We have worked with Austin who is always very knowledgeable and helpful, however the rest of the staff is as well.
When we were trying to decide between a chair they had at Orenco and one we had tried at another store, they had it brought over so we could compare them side by side.
We love the case goods and the lovely woods they are made out of. I like Kitchen Kaboodle better than a certain big chain…

Shane was knowledgable and very helpful. New the products and had great advice. Always nice and positive there.

I have to write to sing some praises for this place– I went in last weekend in search of supplies to make robot cupcakes– an oddly specific item– and was greeted by an employee immediately who was just as excited about the crazy idea that I had as I was. He was incredibly helpful, coming up with all kinds of creative ideas to figure out how to make my vision come to life in other ways (they didn’t have robot cupcake molds, but I definitely can’t hold that against them). He found some seasonal molds and helped me figure out how I could modify them to make my vision work. It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered customer service that great. I’ll be a regular for all my crazy kitchen ideas, and find myself excited to go back just for the fun that I can have looking at all the cool gadgets and getting recommendations from their awesome crew.

I agree with Rebecca W.‘s review — I myself can get into A LOT of trouble in this store.
I came here because I stayed in Hillsboro and that the other location didn’t have enough stemless wine glasses I wanted to buy ($ 2.95 per). Anyway, I walked in and was warmly greeted. My partner was approached and was encouraged to try some fresh bread and butter. Prior to our arrival the store was doing a butter-​making demo. While he was munching away, I was busy shopping.
I managed to find all the stemless wine glasses I wanted with 10% off. The staff was friendly and possessed strong product knowledge. I told them I needed to drive 5 hours back to Vancouver so I needed extra cushioning for my glassware. They found me a sturdy box and managed to squeeze other merchandises in. They sealed it and taped the receipt on to the box. I walked away hopping like it’s Christmas morning.
I didn’t get a chance to check out the outdoor furniture and pots/​pans. I was just overwhelmed by the large selection of restaurant quality glassware and how wonderful the staff was.
If I stayed any longer more money would have left my pocket. Until next time!

Oh my goodness I can get in A LOT of trouble in this store! I love it when one of the workers comes up and says to me, «Can I help you find anything?» (which they always do)…I am thinking to myself when they ask me this, «Uhm, no I am getting into enough trouble all by myself!»… hahaha! In all seriousness though, the staff here is always very friendly and helpful!
It’s funny to me that I will search up and down and all around the city for something… and then I will go here to Kitchen Kaboodle and there IT IS! And I think to myself, again, why in the world did I not come here FIRST! Ugh. So much wasted time! Seriously… if it is something that belongs in the kitchen, look here first!
They have some higher end goods, that is true, but there are many very affordable products here too. There is also a nice selection of linens, home décor and even furniture! If you are in search of baking tools… this is like total one stop shopping! And the high end items they sell are really worth the price anyway. So if you have the bucks to shell out for top of the line products… why not spend it here?
What I love most about this place is that it is locally owned! When you shop here, you keep more money in Oregon and support our economy! I also love that is is in the heart of the quaint little Orenco Station which is such a fun area to shop!

We are in the market for a new dining set and surprisingly Kitchen Kaboodle has some of the nicest dining furniture we have found that is still within our price range. We went in and received awesome service last night from a young girl Austyn who spent a ton of time with us answering questions, writing down product information, dimensions, etc. She gave us websites to go research the pieces we are interested in. While we didn’t purchase last night, we intend to.

I don’t go into Kitchen Kaboodle very often; but I will make sure to go more and think of this place when I am looking for anything kitchen related. I bought my coffee maker here and we love it! I will definitely go back in the future, and they have really cool coffee mugs and other gadgets.

I really like this store and if I could afford it, I’d have the best stocked and fanciest kitchen around. A wonderfully wide selection of items for the kitchen.

I didn’t expect it, but Kitchen Kaboodle has great furniture. I ended up getting my dining room set here.
Additionally, this place has an expansive selection of general kitchen things. I make an effort for all of my cookware to be colorful and fun, and Kitchen Kaboodle has a big enough selection that you can choose between 8 different colors of mixing spoons.
I bought a silverware set here, and even though it ended up on back order for a couple of months, the employees made sure to keep in contact with me and make sure I knew what was going on the entire time. They definitely provided good customer service throughout the wait.

Selection is good… lots. almost too much to select from. Everything from dishes and potholders to all your small appliances and furniture! I found a dining room table that I am really into there and it is solid wood and only about 100 more than IKEA which for solid wood, is worth the price.
The staff was friendly enough. When we were checking out, we were sort of ignored for a second but they realized what was happening and were pretty friendly after that.
Anyhoo…prices were good… I have a few more things to get for the new house and so I will be back for sure.

Plenty of cool stuff and gadgets for sure…

This place is alright. Nice stuff, a little pricey but if you know what you are after you can get reasonable prices.
I admit I do not go this way much just due to Orenco area attitude. The STAFF at the Kitchen Kaboodle store *do not* get into that garbage, but… it is the AREA.
Like going into New Seasons? (rant coming on)
It is next door to Kitchen Kaboodle. AMAZINGLY rude women at the front registers. As in, they often will not speak to my husband or me. AT ALL. They will ring you up entirely without speaking ONE word. To me I can understand. Women get weird with other women (stupid, but… what the fuck ever)…and I do not get into, nor accept the pathetic existences they embrace… but my husband? Who can totally pass for the crap they get into? For them to ignore him? THAT is how I know Orenco has *serious* attitude problems.
Hmmmm, now that I think about it. Is it that I am a woman, and he is «dark meat»? (the Orenco area is racist — so I am trying to think of everything as to WHY the complete, 100% being not spoken to thing — how freakish is that?)
Sorry. This is not a review of New Seasons at Orenco… but, for real… the area of Orenco is an area I just ignore. The racism alone is worthy on its own.
Anyway, I only go to Kitchen Kaboodle when I am looking for something specific.
It is a good store… I just have to be in the mood sometimes to go out that way. But, believe it or not? It has less attitude than the patrons at the 23^rd Ave location. (again, patrons — not the staff)
I am used to other areas that do not act like that. The areas I am referring to have more money (Carmel, CA, Monterey, CA)…and, the big fish in a small pond thing? That would be Orenco… and it gets old. Hell, that would be NW 23^rd Ave in many establishments.
Oh, Kitchen Kaboodle cut their hours * A LOT *. They are only open Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun?
The Orenco location is not near a highway, but most of them are not.
I got some nice oven mitts for my daughter’s first apartment, and I love them. I will go back and get myself a pair.
Don’t get me wrong… I would go back. I do go there. But, just not on the weekend with the working class. That was a dig, people! Not me thinking I am better than them. Bottom line. Life is too short to deal with that garbage.
I was just at the 23^rd Ave store and had to be with all those other patrons… so they are fresh on my mind. Not to mention annoying patrons (women of course) in Moonstruck Chocolate.
Funny how my husband gives better reviews sometimes of the same places. For me it comes down to ATTITUDE. He ignores that. What he will note is the racist stuff because he is a gorgeous Filipino Mexican with some white people thrown in for good measure.
I believe in enjoying life and looking up and outward. Many of the people I am referring to with a bad attitude is covered in the overall rating I give. I usually do not have a problem with women. I think they like what they see, just as I do with them, and they move on. Not in Orenco, though.
I guess this place is like clothes shopping. I just have to have eaten recently, and be in the mood to deal with rude fellow patrons.
AGAIN, the *STAFF* are very nice here.

Great selection of higher end cookware. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Equipment here is a step above Bed, Bath and Beyond. A little higher or equal to Macy’s. The inventory and hours has been cut back because of the recession which is sad. Hopefully this store will remain open because it is the only place with higher end cookware in the area.
