Las Cosas Kitchen Shoppe — Attraction in Santa Fe

My most recent experience with Las Cosas involved our Jura S8 automatic coffee machine, which we dearly love. I commented about the fact that it was not grinding the beans and I was going to have to send it back to the factory again after having it refurbished one year and a half ago. Cheryl, the employee helping me, suggested I speak with owner Mike Walker. Mike came out front immediately and confirmed that the Jura rep. was coming to the store in two weeks. We had plans to be out of town at that time. Mike said that, if we were willing to leave the machine at the store, he would try to find out what was going on and, if he could not repair it, he would lean on the Jura rep for a solution. Mike knows the mechanics of the product line very well and he was influential in our purchasing the machine at Las Cosas rather than online. Las Cosas also matches online pricing for Jura. Great decision! Mike and son Brian took the machine apart, identified and resolved the problem and it was ready when we got back from Spain. There was no charge as Mike considers ongoing customer service to be part of the investment when people commit to buying Jura machines. In our case, we had purchased the machine about three years earlier. Exemplary...

We just had a cooking class with Chef Johnny Vee and the Las Cosas Cooking School, and I can't express how happy we are with our cooking experience with Chef Vee, the class and the food! We had a fantastic time with his New Mexican Menu and he couldn't' have been a more fun and kind soul cook with. The kitchen and store were nice, clean, and organized. Everything was hands on and his education and instruction was well planned, organized and unbelievably delicious! The store itself had friendly knowledgable employees and their classes are excellent. The store has one of the largest selections of wares you may ever find in a kitchen shop. I read all of the reviews of various cooking schools and stores in Santa Fe and did my own free thinking and am still absolutely thrilled with our decision to cook and shop here. The store staff couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. The next time you're in Santa Fe call up Chef Vee and set up a time for one his private classes. He is a wealth of talent and a total blast to be around, and the food, My God!, the food was incredible We...

For more years than I like to count, I’ve been enjoying this well-stocked cooking emporium. The owners taught me about the beautiful Staab cookware that to me, is the sports car of cooking pots. Beautiful colors and super performance, and a joy to use. Years ago, one of the sales associates helped me pick out a pressure cooker. He spent so much time with me making sure I understood the physics of pressure cooking, and the options for converting recipes. The owners are fantastic and are always happy to answer questions or give ideas on entertaining. Part of my excitement at Las Cosas is the walk back to the dinner ware section to admire the gorgeous serving ware, glass ware and gourmet goodies. The cooking school is like theater because chef Johnny V is part comedian and part loving auntie who wants to make sure you have a delightful experience while learning new cooking concepts. I...
