We’re so glad you were able to stop in and visit, Clara! Thank you for sharing your request for more free educational offerings and activities. I have shared your feedback with our team at the Baker’s Store for their future consideration. Please don’t wait too long to visit us again! Jesse@KAF
There is no place quite like this anywhere in the world: special store for bakers, plus a baking school with two enormous baking classrooms, plus a huge bakery, plus a lovely cafe! The store has everything you could want or need, including a great array of gluten free mixes for brownies, cakes and cookies. The cafe is lovely and serves great food. King Arthur also has donated and equipped a studio here for Vermont Public Radio!
We’re so pleased that you were able to visit with us this past fall, and are glad to hear that you enjoyed both the environment and options available in our Café! Thank you also for sharing your thoughts about the other offerings that you would like to see us build upon. Aside from the well-stocked retail store, you’re correct that our Baking Education Center classes are one of the primary draws for those visiting from near or far. Despite this, we do hope that you were able to participate in the free baking demos offered in the store, read up on our wall-displayed company history, and enjoy watching our bakers craft artisan loaves from the bakery viewing area. Your valuable feedback is taken into consideration and we ask that you please contact our friendly team at 800-827-6836 if we can collect any additional thoughts you may have. Warm regards,Jesse@KAF
This was our second visit to King Arthur. I love to bake and going to the store for me is like being set loose in a candy store. Unique store with tons of useful items. Staff are friendly and very helpful. The cafe was very good. We had the Tomato Basil Soup and a half sandwich. There were many desserts to choose from. The most exciting part of our visit was taking a baking class. Loved it. Jessica our instructor was very informative and a great teacher. Looking forward to a return visit.
Except for getting a little confused by directions to the Store - the visit was wonderful. The bakery is a working bakery - with a easy view of a few bakers preparing and baking product (not massive production in this location - artisanal in scope and feel). The store was loaded with gadgets and souvenirs and the outdoor area was filled with interesting plants and photo opportunities.
King Arthur Flour is always a great stop. Just a few miles from White River Junction, VT-Lebanon, NH. The store has hundreds of items, primarily for baking. There are also various types of flour, mixes for breads, cookies, muffins, and other baked goods, a lot of cookbooks, many gadgets to make your baking experience fun, easier and more enjoyable. While you are there, make sure you check out the cafe/bakery area. There are wonderful baked goods, sandwiches, soups, and other foods available for lunch, a snack or just to nibble on. Make sure you try the home made marshmallows! Fantastic.
King Arthur Flour Company store is truly a bakers paradise. It has everything you could possibly need! The store is layed out well. It is clean and the staff is knowledgable and friendly.In addition to the retail store there is a lovely cafe with great lunch items including sandwiches, salads and soups. The pastries and cookies are yummy as well.You can watch the bakers in the kitchen. I am looking forward to taking dome of their classes.
This is a great place for browsing, even if you don't buy anything. They have everything from specific types of flour, dish towels, to rolling pins. You can also watch classes taking place while sipping a cup of coffee. It is a place people drive some distance to get to.
My wife and I finally attended our first cooking school and we were impressed. We took a class on tiramisu and it was just wonderful. The instructor was excellent. The class was just the right amount of time. I like their teaching method by showing you how to do each step and then letting you do on your own. I can't speak to the other classes, but it was nice being able to take our tiramisu home with us. We will definitely take another class.
We stopped by here for breakfast at the end of our stay in the area. The public part of the building is beautiful with a rotunda roof and nicely timbered ceiling and posts in the restaurant. We ordered our food and were given a disc shaped pager, which lit up like a UFO when the food was ready. The store is so tempting, I guarantee you will not be able to leave without at least one item! The service in the cafe is fine, and the store employees very helpful. Our breakfast was delicious and so was the coffee.
