Extremely rude staff

Cashier/staff were rude and overall got a judgmental vibe about the place. I bought a bagel and some bread and the bottoms were burnt. Insane for how overpriced everything is. You can buy the same stuff at Lassens down the street for a much better experience.

Never been here myself, but through the grapevine I heard of what happened to an employee who was fired for saying goodbye to coworkers after their shift was cut short.Pay that girl unemployment, make an apology and do better - then I’ll remove this bad review.

Calling the cops on an autistic black employee because they didn’t leave directly after you cut their shift short is insane and you deserve all the bad press you get

They mistreat their employees, racially targeting them and threatening them. Unable to give their employees fair hours. DO NOT give this failing business any more attention

They mistreat employees. Don’t shop here. Been so many videos saying the same thing. Management can’t even manage. Losers

The sesame sour dough bread is to die for.

Great place for the health and quality conscious snackers. Great fresh produce and deli-esque delights. Price is a little high and I always squirm about this kinda stuff, principally speaking. But the food honestly does not disappoint.

Nicely curated selection of very over-priced goods. I do appreciate the fresh, organic produce. But, those in the neighborhood can simply go to the farmers market on wed and Sunday half a block away.

Really well stocked and great quality products and produce. Expensive but of course it is.

Nice people. They carry burrata and sometimes guanchiale (call ahead). Lots of unique and boutique seasonings, oils, and culinary items. It's like a little farmers market in a store

Amazing produce and prepared foods but the employees have always given me extremely pretentious vibes and bad energy overall. I want to support this place but coming to this location always leaves a bad taste in my mouth w the negative vibes of the employees. Zero warmth. Maybe highland park is better. Do better cookbook! You are not Prada, even erewhon (where sometimes employees act like it's Chanel and can be pretentious) does a better job at being welcoming and emitting positive energy.

This is a fancy grocery with yummy things and good wine if you can stand the anhedonic hipster employees who merely punch numbers into the cash register and walk away dreaming their own dreams after you've paid. Cold and rude vibes.

I have been coming to Cookbook for over a decade, before it was bought out by Jon and Vinny's, and so, I feel compelled to give some notes about a decline in customer service and general air of pretentiousness in a specialty goods shop on a block formerly known as "chicken corner". I live in the neighborhood and like to splurge occasionally on the produce, cheese and meets and other featured items from time to time. I have for the most part engaged with friendly and warm staff over the years, esp the ones who were passionate about their products. I love when I can discuss grapefruit varietals with a friendly employee. Feels like that should be part of why one would frequent Cookbook and not , erm, Lassens. But lately, the general air is like the "new kid" who is way too cool for their own good. Stopped in today and there was ZERO engagement or exchange at the register. Instead just commentary about the employee hang out sesh in front. Pretty lame after dropping 40 bucks on eggs and coffee.
