Stock Design

I really love Stock. There are so few proper baking supply stores left in Dublin, but this is one if them. Now it is expensive, probably driven by the location. But it has a great selection and it’s always packed
Be sure to check the opening times before heading in, it’s not one to have extended opening hours!

An uncharted land of essentials, luxuries and novelties.
This Lost World compels you in with the eye nectar of their seasonal displays and a Great Wall of colourful water bottles.
If you’re looking for cookwear, there’s a haven in the back where you could spend hours imagining the ultra, high tech, chic and welcoming kitchen you could have but are only a year’s salary away from assembling.
In the meantime you can spend the small amounts of spare cash you have on Spiralizers, Cook Books, French Presses, Novelty Potato Mashers and of course the ultimate, the infamous, the mysterious awe inspiring Egg Cuber.
Any question you have will be swiftly and joyfully answered by one of their many handsome and talented staff members. I have a feeling each one of them will go very far in life.
Although working in Stock Design is surely achievement enough for one lifetime!

My Browsing paradise ! A great shop full of interesting home wares and cooking equipment. It is actually a very large shop and is spread over four floors with lots of nooks and crannies.
Yes it is definitely expensive but I find that it has a lot of stuff that I really can’t get anywhere else and sometimes I am surprised and find somethings are cheaper then I expected. The top floor now has a great kids section with great puzzles and old fashioned tin toys. The basement is an Aladdin’s cave for any cook — they literally have everything and now with «kitchen compliments» gone there are very few shops with this kind of range of stock.
At Christmas this place really comes into its own and the top floor is like a Christmas wonderland. Again its not cheap and you wouldn’t want to be furnishing your whole house from here but every year I go and buy myself some little Christmas treat.
So if you have a half hour to spare in town this is an ideal spot for a little potter !

So many great things packed into a very small space! Love the selection of cooking, baking, serving, storing, organizing things. The staff are friendly and helpful, couldn’t find what I needed and they were happy to direct me to another store that might have it. They do close very early on weekdays which is a shame.
Definitely expensive, it’s very likely you can find most of their stuff much cheaper in another store or online, the main thing they have going for them is convenience. If you can’t be bothered to run around to three different stores, or wait for an online order to ship, you could definitely walk away with everything you’d need from here to make, for example, a huge and elaborately decorated wedding cake. It is a good store for gifting inspiration, just browsing it’d be easy to find something for anyone: specialty wine accessories (aerators, decanters, specialty glasses…) tea sets etc. They have some more rare items like cast iron skillets, ceramic frying pans, ramekins in various shapes/​sizes, enamel cookware, large selection of food coloring, every piece of bakeware in every size you could possibly need.
This place is definitely a dream for anyone who likes to cook or bake, but if you’re not pressed for time you can easily find everything here cheaper elsewhere (especially online). Either way, it’s a great shop just to browse!

This shop was ok. Not the best for chef knives selection, but has a great range for your home kitchen. Staff were very friendly and polite. It’s worth a visit, I’m sure you will find something in here. It’s a really lovely looking shop. You’ll have fun in here I’m sure.

I’m with Gearoid on this one, this place is just too expensive.
I buy something in Stock to find its cheaper in Brown Thomas and I mean 25% cheaper. And this has happened more than once.
And they do have very inconvenient opening hours. However I did notice they were open on a Sunday recently. For Christmas maybe?
Bottom line is the get one star for variety of stock. I would only go back here as a very last resort and I can’t find what I need in a hurry any where else in Dublin

This store has everything for your kitchen. They have tons of gadgets & home paraphernalia I could spend an hour just looking at things I did not know I could live without. Very pricey but great for specialty & hard to find items.

They do have some useful stuff in here but it’s very expensive and they shut before 6 every night of the week so It’s not the most convenient place to visit. Off to Argos.

I love this store, it has everything imaginable for kitchen. As you browse the store, you’ll find gadgets you never knew exsited or things that you don’t need to you feel you absolutely have to have! Although they have very good quality products I do find them more expensive than many other stores. It’s worth a browse around as I’m sure you’ll find something to leave there with!

There’s no denying that this place has a large range of what the title suggests, but the cramped surroundings put me off a little. And though I’ve never found the staff unhelpful when I’ve approached them, I can’t honestly say I’ve found them helpful either, for instance, where they’re not busy and it’s clear that you are looking for something and you can’t find it. Not pro-​active, is how I’d describe the customer ethos.
And although they go a wide range of great kitchen brands, the mark-​up on prices is a little too south-​side for my liking. Better value is to be had out there, so shop round.

These guys have everything you could want for your kitchen. There are lots of other small rooms with rugs and furniture upstairs and It usually takes me an hour to get through the place. A great place to buy a gift for some one or for yourself. The service is good and the location is great.

This is one of those places where I have to go in with a list and I must never, ever deviate from this list lest my credit card (debit card, wallet) explode. I LOVE browsing in here but it’s a dangerous activity. This shop is full of kitchen and small household items that you never even knew you wanted, or needed, before now.
First off, it has to be said that if you’re looking for standard kitchen items and you’re not fussy about brand or mechanics, go across to Argos in St. Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre. It’s not nearly as much fun but it’s almost always cheaper.
Stock is a place to get super heat-​resistant spatulas, gorgeous espresso cup sets, heavy duty, high quality pots and pans that will outlast you, fabulously shaped cookie cutters, and all manners of apparently time-​and-​space saving contraptions. Oh and Christmas decorations! Most people forget this place has more than one floor and the top one is taken up every Christmas season with one of the greatest (sometimes wackiest) selections of decorations in the city.
This place is well worth a gander. And while you’re there, please come find me and drag me out before I do too much damage. I shouldn’t get so enticed by fold-​up chopping boards but I do…

This place tried to charge me 7 euro for the most boring of door stops. And they almost got away with it.
I walked into this shop hoping to buy a nice tea cosy, the place is jammers with cool stuff.
Things like chopping boards that fold up for easy scooping into a pot, and spatulas with a bump to keep the spatula head off the kitchen table and thus keeping the table clean.
These are really good ideas, and you look at the prices and think that they’re expensive, but maybe they’re good value…
Anyway, after a few hours of unsuccessful search, I pull a member of their staff away from her Facebook to ask where Tea Cosies can be found.
They have a lot of tea cosies, it has to be said, I spent a good 20 minutes deciding between the cosy shaped like a hen or the bottom up design for € 20
In the end, function over fashion, the bottom up design won (see photo).
I then remembered I needed a doorstop for the house. I found a bucket’o’doorstops and picked one up, no excitement needed here!
At the checkout my bill came to € 27, which was € 7 for the doorstop.
I was like «ok, that’s fair», compared to this € 20 tea cosy, that seems like the going rate.
But thankfully I managed to cop myself on to this absolute ripoff. They are actually trying to charge me € 7 for a piece of plastic which does nowt but use friction to resist the door’s gravity…
So I just went to Dunnes and got one for € 0.50 instead!
Anyway, this story only justifies a 2 star location, but they go down to a 1 star shop in my opinion because of their TERRIBLE hours.
Stock closes at 5:30, and is closed all Sunday.
Suddenly I understand why their prices have to be so high.

Thursday — late shopping ?? Everywhere except STOCK !!! Closed at 5.45pm !
So we went over to Kitchen Compliments on Sth Anne St, open til 7.30, and plenty of ‘stock’ in their new store !!

I went to Stock today to pick up some caking supplies. While it is cheaper to buy lots of this stuff online, its great to be able to get it immediately in a shop. I was in today looking for gel colours and cake boards, but of course I got distracted and ended up buying more than I intended to.
They do a good selection in colours and in pre-​coloured fondant icing which I haven’t seen in other shops in Dublin. They have lots of the usual tins, and a few specialist shapes, unfortunately none of which helped me today — looks like I’m just going to have to construct my own dinosaur cake!

I like gadgets, actually, I love gadgets, my house is full of them, I can hook my TV up to my phone and listen to the result over the stereo, I have a tablet computer, just to read to junior at night… if it is flashy and shiny I want it.
The only room in the house that doesn’t have enough gagtery (yes, it’s a word) is my kitchen, and for this I go to Stock.
OK, granted, few of them are battery operated but if I want a device to core a pineapple or stop my eggs from overcooking, then this is the place to go.
I really wish they sold the Teflon-​coated-​broccoli-​monogramming-​space-​laser that Brian P (
) invented.

I like this store a lot. They have very nice stuff for the kitchen, dining and lots of gadgets for people who love to cook. The items are more expensive than I would expect to pay. The selection is good and the shop is crammed with goodies. My kinda place.

Stock is looking very festive at the moment. This is really handy, since I know a few people who will really enjoy some of their quirkier kitchen bits and pieces as presents.
There isn’t a food or drink in existence that stock don’t have a dedicated tool for. Some are great (a massive selection of Bodum gear), some are hilariously useless (onion goggles).
The shop is a bit of a maze though, with a number of rooms crammed into an already tiny floorplan, so you might struggle to find what you’re looking for. It’s also a bit pricey, so if you’re looking for bargains, you might do better shopping around.
At the moment, it’s a solid four-​stars. I’ll have to call back in the bleak post-​Xmas, post-​credit card bill period and see if I still feel that way!

Ooooh, how much fun is this shop?
Stock … stocks… the best and mot interesting things to make cooking, drinking and serving a little more fun and elegant.
Our usual haunt is the basement level, where all the cool (and needful) bits and bobs for kitchen capers lurk. Here I’ve picked up silicone bakeware, whisks of all sizes, knife blocks and cheese domes… then promptly put them back down again because there’s no way it would all fit in my little garret.
on the next landing are beautiful decanters and wine glass sets, cutlery and crockery, then table cloths, napkin sets (and rings!), then more gorgeous gadgetry and table setting essentials for stylish serving.
The costs can rage from ridiculous to gift-​worthy, and while there are a few misses (cheap ice cube trays, wire cutlery baskets with unfiled bare ends) the shop itself is always a hit.

Stock is a really lovely and large shop that sells dishs, glasses and crystal, cookware, kitchen appliances and linens that are all really beautiful.
This place is really nice because it sells lots of different styles of all of the above, from minimal modern champagne flutes to toast with at your loft-​space opening to pretty ceramic dishes that belong in a country cozy kitchen.
A wonderful place if you’re looking for a gift for a domestic diva or newlyweds, or just feel that it’s finally time you buckle down and spend some serious money on an espresson machine.
