About Williams Sonoma at Stanford Shopping Center
Williams Sonoma's Stanford Shopping Center store is at 180 El Camino Real, Space 701, the center's street address with the store's space number. The brand's page calls it the Williams Sonoma Store, Stanford Shopping Center. The center's directory lists it as Williams-Sonoma Grande Cuisine. Both names refer to the same shop.
The directory places it along Azmoor Place, between Sushi Roku and LoveSac. It suggests the Sand Hill Road entrance at London Plane Way as the closest way in. Pottery Barn, owned by the same parent company, is on the same Sand Hill Road side of the center. RH is nearby too. On Sunday the store opens an hour before the center's regular hours.
What this location offers
The store page describes the range as professional quality cookware, bakeware and gourmet food. It names two services here:
- Cooking and technique classes in the store
- Wedding registry set up in the store
The brand's website also lists knife sharpening, free design services and gift cards under Events and Services. Ask the Stanford store which of these it offers. Call 650-321-3486 for holiday hours or the class calendar. For a different class format, Sur La Table at Town & Country Village, about a mile away, runs a full class schedule.
