Just got a tip from the Sur La Table people that the once super-secret location at SCP's Crystal Court is slated to open August 28th.
I know what you're thinking: Finally, a place to buy kitchenware at South Coast Plaza when you're just too far away from Williams Sonoma.
I feel the same way too!
Update, by Lesley, September 3: The store is indeed now open, and selling a wide range of kitchenware and subsidiaries (read: pricey gourmet food items). I spotted everything from Le Creuset dishes to cookbooks such as Mastering the Art of French Cooking and 'wichcraft, to knives, tablecloths, coffee pots and stick blenders. Oh, and the massive selection of cookie cutters is truly bizarre (dachshund, anyone?)
