About Us

The Bay Leaf is located in charming downtown Lawrence, Kansas, in an historic building that pre-dates the Civil War. Since opening in 1977, we have been known for the latest in kitchen gadgets as well as our elegant selections of cookware, dishes, and serving accoutrements. Our distinctive home décor items, including linens, glassware and an ever-changing array of tabletop accents, add a touch of class to any room. We also create custom gift baskets in a wide range of sizes and prices that are ideal for family, friends and business associates.

Throughout the year we travel to international markets in Los Angeles and New York in search of unique and exciting treasures that give the Bay Leaf a "one-of-a-kind" flavor. Please see Our Products for a complete listing of the fine culinary and home décor lines we carry.

Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is here to assist you with questions or find the perfect gift.
