Home Ec

A bright, beautiful and inspirational kitchen store down on India Street. Home Ec has a great variety of interesting cookbooks, beautiful spices, tasty drinks, and unique pieces that you'll need to take home. My pantry is overstuffed after the last visit, but I'll be back whenever a friend's birthday is coming up.

I love how easy it is to pick up my favorite Astra Bake House Goods from Home Ec! They even delivered it to my car out front because I had two kiddos in tow. The rest of their shop is beautifully curated and creative!

I always feel inspired when I visit this gem of a specialty food/home shop! Their pantry items and cookbooks get me out of my cooking ruts, and it’s easy to find gifts for friends and loved ones who love good food (pretty much everyone, hah!) Love that they source cool ceramics and unique cutting boards from indie makers, too.

On top of this store being absolutely gorgeous, it's so apparent that all the goods sold in this store are thoughtfully chosen. Not only do I find something I love EVERY time I go in (or online...free local delivery) the shop owner provides a safe shopping experience. If you're a little nervous like me to be out in a pandemic, the regulating of how many shoppers and face masks always being required helps calm that anxiety!! Do yourself a favor and spend your money at a beautifully executed small business ! You won't be disappointed

Love Home Ec — my go-to cool girl kitchen shop. Excellent selection of curated goods and unique collabs with local artisans. Plus, Carynn treats her customers like friends over for an afternoon cocktail. Whether you're looking for a gift, a treat, or pure inspiration, this is the place!

I adore Home Ec! Not only is the shop airy and bright (and safely set up for social distancing last time I was there), but it is so so cute! You can shop online too and choose between pick up, local delivery, or normal shipping. The plants are happy and well cared for. The kitchenware is adorable, the cookbook selection great, and they carry Good Dirt products which isn’t always easy to find local. All around 10/10.

I’m a huge fan of Home Ec. They have a wide array of books, pantry goods and items to make cooking fun and fresh. There’s a story behind many of the makers whose products are on their shelves. Those shelves have even spawned collaboration between the makers themselves! Don’t miss their line of Diaspora single origin spices and chili oils with influences from Asia, Africa and Mexico.
