We stop in here regularly - it is right by Trader Joes, and we burn through milk at our place pretty fast. If we have a few minutes to spare we take a peek. The savings on the items at the Crate and Barrel outlet are 20 to 70% off which makes it a good spot for everyday items of quality that are a touch more affordable.

We use our cloth napkins from here daily. The prices were good - we got 12. They washed up so nicely that we went and got 18 more. We wash, dry and iron the heck out of them and they keep on going. Good quality at an excellent price.

We like the look of the Marimekko fabrics by the yard and always check out the cookbook section. We've bought several favorite kitchen and serving pieces here over the years. They often have nice basic, scandanavian-style bowls in good colors. We know people who have gotten amazing deals on rugs here as well.

It's also a great back up supply for candles if we run out in between IKEA runs. We really can't see any reason to pay more for everyday dinner candles.

Another great thing about the C&B outlet is they often stock items while they're still in season. Every time I walk into the outlet, I see something that's in the normal C&B store for full price. The selection is limited, but always check the outlet.

LOVE this place! Merrimekko fabric by the yard super cheap, plus just great prices on everything else. And its funny it was the same way for me, I parked in front to go to Trader Joe's and was like... Oh, who knew?!
