Hey there.
We're glad you came. Pull up a chair and stay awhile.
Pantry by Mikel was born from a simple belief: the best things in the kitchen and on the table should be beautiful, functional, and made to last.
We aren't just a shop; we are styled as a living gallery and shoppable kitchen. Every piece we curate—from a hand-thrown mixing bowl to a linen napkin—has a purpose and a story. Our focus is on offering enduring creations across three essential categories: Pantry, Tools, and Table. We champion sustainability by offering products designed not to be replaced, but to become treasured heirlooms in your home.
You can find us nestled inside the Upper West Market, a vibrant, 7-day-a-week indoor farmers market. This location allows us to connect independent, small-batch artists and makers directly with a large, supportive community that shares our passion for artisan quality and intentional living.
Welcome to Pantry - where quality craft meets everyday use.

Mikel Harris, Founder & Owner
Pantry by Mikel is a passion project and the realization of a deeply held belief: that the objects we use every day should be as inspiring as they are useful.
My vision for the shop grew out of a love for the intentional quality of artisan work. Tired of disposable goods, I set out to champion the small-batch artists and makers whose craft elevates the simple rituals of home. Our focus is on pieces that aren't just bought, but invested in—the kind of quality that results in a favorite coffee mug, a perfectly weighted serving spoon, or a stunning piece of pottery designed to last generations and become a family heirloom.
I personally curate every item, channeling a deep appreciation for design, function, and the stories behind the creation. By setting up shop in the Upper West Market, we ensure that these talented independent makers are connected directly to a community that values their work.
Ultimately, Pantry is my way of fostering a community around well-made goods, sharing the makers’ stories, and inspiring customers to slow down and savor the beautiful simplicity of the kitchen, the table, and everyday.
