J D Adam Kitchen Company

I am a bit embarrassed that I have been in this store several times and had no idea what it was called. I had to Google the name since I just think of it as «the other kitchen store» in the Glebe across from the Glebe Emporium. (Not counting CA Paradis, which is a whole different league altogether.)
J.D. Adam is a gem that is easy to overlook. I went looking for a nutmeg grinder. The Emporium had one type, JDA had three (!) that were specifically for nutmeg and a range of other graters that would also work. If you are a cook, you will understand how important it is to have the right tool. If not, well, then none of this review makes any sense to you anyway.
Price are good. Service is terrific. Friendly and helpful without being in your face. However, with the amount of stock they have in a small space, it is a good idea to just ask for what you need rather than hunt around. Nutmeg grater with cheese grater, not nut cracker, for example.
I ended up buying microplanes and tea towels and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. (If you understood what I bought, then you should visit JD Adam yourself.)

Visited there today & was blown away by how their offerings did not duplicate those of the other kitchen shops — Ma Cuisine, Domus, etc. Really unique choices. Really enjoyed it & plan to visit again soon.
