Cooks' World

I have been buying at Cooks for 20 years. Staff knowledgeable about the products. Never felt they were pushing me to buy the most expensive option. Good points program. On top of everything, it is local.

Love the knife sharpening service. Also, I called looking for a specific item recently and the person on the phone was friendly and helpful. Adorable little place, an asset to Rochester!

Such helpful sales people!!! I always find what I need or something close. I enjoy shopping local. I always find even the smallest things there!

I went to Cooks’ World looking for a wok for my cousins birthday. A woman assisted me with the different options they had, told me about the seasoning process and how to take care of it. Sold on the spot. I then asked if she could wrap it up for me, and she went above and beyond! She had the handle out of the box, cutting a little hole for it, put a big bow on it and everything, at no extra cost! She was very sweet and helpful. I will absolutely be back to this place for some spices for when I smoke some meats, they had a pretty wide selection. Highly, highly, highly recommend!

Shopping here is incredible and dangerous. Why yes, I did need a peeler and oven mitts...
...But look at that ceramic chef's knife, and that ceramic pan, and those spices, and those aprons and wooden spatulas etc.
Everything you could ever think about needing in a kitchen, they've got in that small store

Absolutely phenomenal selection! The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming too! I will absolutely be back!!

Amazing, knowledgeable staff! Wonderful selection. They came to the rescue when my prime rib for 20 didn't fit any of my existing pans.

We stopped by Cook's World for the first time this weekend and had a great experience. We brought all the dull chef's knives we had from our home to be sharpened. The man who sharpened them was working on Saturday and was able to get them sharpened right away! Everyone was so kind and for $5 or less per knife it was a great deal. They did a phenomenal job and our knives are better than new! They have everything you could imagine- coffee, spices, pans, bakeware, etc. Highly recommend.

I have yet to need any tool for my kitchen that I haven't found a top quality option for at Cooks' World. I used to shop online, but have found that CW typically has the great quality, at the same pricing, but I am able to support a local business.

Also, they have the best coffee selection I've found in the city which is always brought in fresh and ground how you need it.

They have great prices and basically anything you could ever need for a cooking/baking task all in one place. A great place to find basically anything you'd need with a better pricetag than at a big box store. The store is huge, with more space inside than it seems from the outside. A great local shop to patronize.

Very knowledgeable and have a great selection of quality products. We went for our wedding registry and were very impressed. The owner Chris even came to congratulate us!

Another gem that Rochester has! The folks who work here know how to cook and give great advice. You will not find much that discount stores carry but they do have reasonable prices for the quality you get. Plus you are supporting a one of a kind local business!

Amazing service and selection. If you love cool / unique and name brand items for cooking, or need a great gift, then Cooks World is the place! The prices and selection are great – the knowledgeable and helpful staff make the difference. Easy to get to, great parking, and internet orders too for when you can't shop local (they can ship your gift).

Rebecca's and Nancy were awesome! They helped gave me several options for the appliances I was looking for and took the time to explain each. They did this all with a very cheerful and kind attitude! It was very helpful as someone new to cooking.

Great selection of stuff for the kitchen. They have almost anything you can think of. Staff helpful and very friendly. As with all brick and mortar stores the prices might be slightly higher than you might get online but worth the in person help and being able to feel and compare the products. I don't shop for kitchen ware often but it is my go to place.

Great selection of quality cookware. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Support the community and shop local, it's better that way.

This store is the best! If you need coffee, tea, or virtually any kitchen accessory, this is the place. The prices are good and the staff is great to talk to.

Very nice store! Hundreds (or more!) items, many of them I only have seen in catalogs, and wondered about.
The owner is very knowledgeable, unassuming and helpful. I'll definitely come to this place for the next kitchen gadget, even as simple as a knife - it is a please to come to this store.

I do a lot of online shopping these days, but I so value Cook's World that I try to get cooking things from them. As much as possible I try to SHOP LOCAL. I value the relationship I've developed with them and the expertise they offer on everything from great knives to first rate cookware and kitchen tools. They are eager to help, have a great selection, happily ship to you wherever you might be. Their prices are generally just as good as what I'd get online. That makes me happy because I'd really rather give them my business than see great small stores go away. CHECK THEM OUT!

Cooks World did an amazing job with our Wedding Registry. Rebecca gave us great personalized service during our walk-through to look at items. The selection was awesome, and Rebecca was really helpful throughout our engagement whenever we had follow-up questions.
