When Patina moved to 111 S. Columbus, we knew there would be loads more space for our vintage finds, furniture, lamps, art, and more. But we had no idea how much fun we were going to have with our full-fledged kitchen! We get to have a coffee/cookie corner and invite our customers to take some time to relax. We have a large TV on the wall and turn it on for special events – coronations, The Olympics, Saturday sports and we even have cold beverages at the ready!

We have so many cookbooks to check out that the kitchen is starting to look like a mini-bookstore, here’s a snapshot:

Our previous location was across the street from a food store, and we knew it wasn’t worth competing along those lines. We now carry Virginia Peanuts from Feridies which is a must-have for everyone living in the DMV, as well as our tourist customers. Sassy Mustard out of Georgia is so delicious and the easiest way to make every sandwich gourmet. Hot Honey, Hot Honey Sauce and raw honeycomb from Savannah Bee Company-Save the Bees! Hot honey is a blending of honey and chile peppers that offers a unique taste for drizzling on various foods. I love asking our customers how they like to use it; one gentleman shared he drizzles it on ice cream! And we have a cookbook specifically for hot honey recipes.

 We have discovered some fun cooking items, cheese markers to go with our vintage charcuterie boards and let’s not forget all the French hens hanging out in the kitchen!

 We invite you to visit our unique kitchen at Patina and all it has to offer!
