There are a lot of places to buy kitchen equipment in town, but Fante's is probably the largest. It's been in the Italian Market for a long time. This is handy if you've just bought a grouper and some shallots in the Market and need a new Calphalon pan to cook them in, or if you've just moved to town and forgot to bring the old family spatula. They also have a decent coffee and tea department, where you can buy beans, leaves, pots and espresso cups, or just order an espresso to go. A good souvenir item is a cookbook of local recipes. There are about five different books available here. Mail order is available through their web site.

When traveling I like to search out independent kitchen/cooking stores. Fante's Kitchen Shop is in the heart of the historic Italian Market on South Ninth Street. It is so different from Sur La Table or Williams-Sonoma that it is worth a visit.It carries coffee beans and loose tea in various flavors, a large selection of wooden springerle molds along with all the tools for your kitchen. Further, Fante's provides a selection of wonderful tools for Italian specialities. The staff are friendly and helpful, even recommending their favorite lunch spots. Stop in and have a cup of coffee while exploring the vast and interesting array of kitchen implements.
