The new Epicurien jams can be used in many creative ways, not just on toast and rolls.

To create a fancy dessert, use mini pie shells and line with melted chocolate (try some Voisin Bittersweet Chocolate.

Top with some Jam, for example the Coco Passion (a mix of Coconut and Passion Fruit, not to sweet, not too tart, just right!).

Garnish with some whipped cream and a piece of fruit or candied fruit peel. Voila!

Coco Passion – Coconut and Passion Fruit Jam – L’Epicurien 11.6 oz

In the 19th Century, l’Epicurien was a delicatessen in Paris, specialized in fine jams and preserves. From this start, emerged in 1982, the current company specializing in jams of course, but also in …

Map and Directions

Any Questions?  Call Toll Free (between ( AM and 5 PM EST) :866-764-2975

What:

Our entire warehouse will be open.  5,000 Square Feet full to the brim of treasures. Everything shown on our site will be available for you to see and purchase.   Goodies, gifts, clearance items, specials, new arrivals and lots, lots more.

What else:

1. Door prizes
2. Prize drawings for gift baskets,
3. Gifts with purchase
4. We will also be showing video demonstrations of some of our products in use.
5. Vintage items not yet listed on the site
6. Friendly helpful staff ready to answer questions, show products and help in any way they can

A few other important details:

• PLEASE, we insist, no strollers, no big bulky bags, or coats.
• We encourage you to leave children at home.  The warehouse is big, with concrete floors and high shelves, and not a great place for little ones.  We do not think they will enjoy it as much as staying cosily at home!  And you can shop more leisurely too.
• We strongly suggest perusing the website and making lists (write down the item number, that will save a lot of time) so you know what you want to see and we can point you to it.  We have thousands upon thousands of items, and trust us, it can get overwhelming.  In addition, we are not set up as a store, so some items are less visible than others, on high shelves or in big boxes.  We will be happy to pull anything out to show you, but you have to know it’s there
• Parking is available at the warehouse and we are arranging overflow parking just a few steps down the street. Dress comfortably and if necessary warmly (if it is cold outside, the warehouse will be cold too, it is not heated)

OUR SUGGESTIONS:

• Make a shopping list, especially vintage items.  We can show you what you want to see but a list ahead of time will be easier, believe us. We have thousands of items online, and we cannot display them
• Wear comfortable shoe, and layers.  It’s heated and should be warm but a cold spell might pose a challenge.  Layers are easy to deal with!
• Bring a friend, twice the fun and a free gift (see coupon below)
• Think of gifts for friends, co-workers, future baby or wedding showers, future birthdays, not just holidays.  Replenish your stash of ‘just in case’ gifts, we have lots and lots of small items ideal for this (and for stocking stuffers)
• Take time to browse the site so you will know what we have (and we have LOTS)

Clip the coupon below and bring it with you!
