Eggshells Kitchen Co. is a locally woman-owned kitchen and gifts store in The Heights. We are the store you come to for kitchen gadgets and tools, for housewarming and wedding gifts and for the hard-to-find gourmet additions to your charcuterie boards. We partner with local chefs and offer cooking classes weekly. Eggshells Kitchen Co. has been around for almost 13 years, and I am proud to be the third owner to carry on the tradition of helping our customers find their inner chef.
