Kitchen and Tableware
Williams Sonoma
A chef's paradise. Cookware, cooking utensils, kitchen decor and gourmet foods.
Stores in San Francisco, and online store.
Crate and Barrel
A large choice of silverware, plates, glasses... And a amazingly huge choice of cooking utensils.
Sur La Table
Means "On the table" in English. Everything you might or might not think about for the kitchen. For espresso aficionados, they carry the Nespresso automatic coffee machines.
77 Maiden Lane, Union Square and Ferry Building, shop #37.
Bed, Bath and Beyond
In addition to linens, BB&Beyond carries kitchen electrics (microwave, toaster...), cookware and beyond (as its names can tell!). A few times a year, they mail $5 coupons or 20% coupons (if you are lucky).
Heath Ceramics
One of the few remaining mid-century american potteries still in existence today. The original Sausalito factory is a bay area landmark (tours of the factory are offered every week). Colors and shapes are simple, beautiful and timeless. Prices reflect quality and work. The "seconds" (that don't meet their quality standards) are on sale 30% off at the Sausalito store and showroom.
400 Gate Five Road, Sausalito, CA 94965
They also have a store in the Ferry Building.
A few discount stores :
City discount
All kinds of kitchenware reasonably priced, and cheaper than the ones mentioned above. They also sell Italian food. A neighborhood type of store.

Cookin’
Secondhand cookware, books, utensils... Goodwill meets Sur La table. The store is amazing !

Tones of ideas to store every single room of the house. We love the concept of this store.
