Der Kuchen Laden

Wow this place is ... well, wow! Every piece of kitchen equipment seems to be here! Helpful staff so you can find specific items...or you could just wander. I was looking for a tea strainer and another employee made me aware of a local tea...I look forward to giving it a try. Young man at cashier could recommend a bakery since I was asking at an hour where some had already closed. With info and directions I found that bakery...,I really appreciated everyone's help. Great place!

A fun store that has just about anything kitchen related that you might want, from wine openers, to knives, to cookie cutters, to expensive casserole dishes . . . and everything in between. While not huge in space, it definitely has the numbers on varieties of items. Especially the afore mentioned cookie cutters. And not just your every day varieties. Let's just say they had a tooth cookie cutter. I had never seen one of those before. I know what you're saying. When would I ever need a tooth cookie cutter?! What you should be asking is, where do I go when I do need a tooth cookie cutter?

It's definitely a fun place to visit for those of us who are kitchen supply fans.

When I first came across this place years ago I was overwhelmed due to the many rooms of cooking supplies and the layout and the fact that I wanted everything there! The cooking utensils and other kitchen gadgets are decently priced and the best part: they have sooo many purple items!

I'm a baker and they have an extensive baking section which I love and I have yet to leave this store empty handed. This occasion I stocked up on some cooking utensils and a knife but there is still a lot more things that I would love to buy... guess it will have to be on the next trip.

One thing I want to try is their coffee. It smells sooo good but I have always been too full when I go there and have no room for it but I hear many people complimenting it. The staff there is also really friendly and always willing to help.

This is the coolest little hidden gem ever! They look so "normal" from the outside but the inside is a treasure trove of never ending nooks and crannies that will delight a kitchen enthusiast for hours.. You should probably clear a good part of your schedule for this place! I went back three times on one day because I could not get enough.
They have knives with knowledgeable sales staff , pots, pans, dishes, bowls, paella pans etc. etc. etc.
The stuff they have is very unusual and I learned so much by walking around. I found some of the stuff rather pricy and a quick check on Amazon proved me correct but then I think you are paying for the experience. If money is no object, this gem is worth supporting because it is so much part of the history and fabric of Fredericksburg.

This place is HUGE!!! I literally got lost! When I entered the small storefront I didn't realize the space was so deep and wrapped all the way through a series of hallways, and what seemed like a never ending slew of small rooms with different items in them, into the space next door too! Impressive.

And they really do have EVERYTHING cooking and kitchen here...ironically except the sink. If it weren't for my waiting hubby, I could have easily spent hours in Der Kuchen Laden. Despite being on Main Street their prices are comparable to other stores. They offer a lot of very high quality items.

Oh, and during my journey through the land of the lost I discovered a coffee and pastry shop in back and wine tasting and beer garten on the side! OMG chefy foodie heaven!!!

This is the coolest little store ever! They look so tiny on the outside but it is really big inside and never seems to end. You should probably clear a good part of your schedule for this place! We were initially going to go in for 5 minutes but ended up staying for 30 minutes or so instead - no regrets!
They have mugs, coffee makers, knives, pots, pans, dishes, bowls, wine glasses, aprons phew* ... so much stuff that I can't even list them all off. The stuff they have is very interesting yet many of the things are things you need but have not even realized until you saw them in this store!!
We ended up finding mugs with Renoir paintings on them for the outside design, a really really really nice steak knife, an espresso/coffee maker called the Aeropress (that we were going to buy on Amazon), a really nice scooper for coffee grinds and a little measuring cup. If we had more money and time we would have probably ended up buying a lot more stuff than we did. This place is like the Daiso of Fredericksburg! I can't wait to come back here with my friends and family!!! *even the employees are awesome!!

I would travel to Fredricksburg just for Der Kuchen Laden, the Disneyworld of kitchen stores.

Not only do they carry the basics and a lot of nice higher end kitchen items, and they also carry a LOT of small specialty items, including those you didn't know you needed! Here, I can buy the long-handled coffee scoop I cannot find anywhere else. For $3.

They have an excellent selection for the items they stock. Did you know sieves came in that many sizes?? They pack SO many different items into a small space! And those who work here are very knowledgable about the items they sell and will help you find exactly what you are looking for.

They sell tea and coffee in bulk too, and there's also a coffee shop inside with reasonable prices (especially for Fredricksburg). Ask for samples of the coffee of the day.

Don't miss it!

If you cook, or know someone who cooks, you must visit. They have so much, including things you didn't know you even needed!

The workers are friendly and polite; and knowledgeable about products, inventory, and customer service.

I just love this place...and we visit it every time we visit Fredericksburg.

The coolest kitchen store! Very unique since the building was formerly a hospital. They have just about any cooking item you can think of and a coffee shop as well!

They have EVERYTHING and even more. It's tucked back and easy to miss, but if you are into cooking go here!!! The staff was uber pleasant and browsing discovered all kinds of odds and ends.
