  I swear this is a hidden GEM in PB! The store front is beautiful and well organized! All the second hand kitchen appliances are in great shape and I've gotten... read more so many great items for so so cheap here! They are always having a deal or a sale- and the staff is so kind I always come back. They also always make chocolate chip cookies and share them with customers, it's so sweet really. It's a great place to support because the proceeds go to training those less fortunate in cooking and culinary classes so they can go on to have wonderful careers!

  Amazing store! Great products! All proceeds go to sending people to culinary school! Couldn't ask for a better place to spend my money!

  Awesome spot. Staff is an absolute delight. Spot in before some other vapid retail experience.

  What a fun store!  This is a non-profit "thrift store" for cookware, kitchen tools, dining items...anything that involves cooking and eating.  Some prices are really good, but others are a... read more tad high: one mug (which I recognized as an Anthropology item) that caught my eye was priced at $7 or $8. The items are all donated, high quality, and beautifully arranged.  The helpful staff will be happy to help you locate anything you may be looking for.  And, you may even get a freshly baked cookie, as they bake them in the back of store, the enticing aroma wafting throughout the store.  Ample parking.  Weekly sale.  If you don't find what you want, check back in a week!

  Amazing store, products, staff, and purpose! I have heard of Kitchens for Good previously. For those not familiar with the organization, they are a nonprofit providing free culinary, baking, and... read more hospitality programs for individuals facing societal and economic challenges. When I heard that the program was opening a used-goods kitchen store, I had to check it out!
I was pleasantly surprised to arrive and find that Kitchens for Good Shop has its own parking lot! This was a relief for those familiar with Pacific Beach. I entered and was pleasantly overwhelmed by the size of the store. It's a huge space displaying all kinds of kitchenware from utensils to dinnerware sets to appliances. I browsed the store for at least half an hour, wanting nearly every item but knowing I don't have enough space or need for all of the gorgeous plates and cool appliances. One staff member, I wish I had caught her name, was incredibly helpful and friendly. She was also baking fresh chocolate chip cookies in the back that are free at the front counter!
I came in for a knife sharpener ($6 for a honing rod, $2-$20 for the blade sharpeners) but also left with a $6 Pyrex bowl. Some other outstanding items I saw were multiple bread makers, a KitchenAid mixer, dozens of dinnerware sets with beautiful plates and cups, assorted knives and individually sold cutlery, some furniture, and crystal dishes. They also had a good selection of seasonal items including glass pumpkin plates and Christmas dinnerware.
My favorite part of thrifting is finding items rather than clothes, so this store is perfect for me! All of their profits support the Kitchens for Good Programs providing technical training to apprentices and partnering them with employment opportunities. Additionally, they promote the use of second-hand items. All of the products I saw were in good to great condition, and who doesn't want to save money when it comes to the expensive world of kitchenware! I'm not sure how frequently I'll be back as I don't often need new kitchen items, but I'd return to browse and I'd 100% recommend it to anyone in need of something for their kitchen or dining room.

  I saw the shop on my way to a recent visit to my dentist on the same block. I wouldn't have found the store otherwise. I love this store! It's... read more a high end thrift shop featuring all things kitchen and dining, at a good price. The space is attractive and the ladies in the store were friendly and lovely. I hope they advertise to get the word out so its a big success for them. Their cause is excellent. I will be donating my kitchen overflow and I hope others will too. I consider it a treasure!

  I love this store with my entire being. I have found numerous knick knacks, a beautiful pitcher, an amazing cookie jar and so much more and always on sale too!!... read more I really feel like this store is my guilty pleasure place.
