    Member Testimonials

    Samy

    Founder, Snacklins

    We made this crunchy, puffy, almost pork rind-like chip and as we got bigger, we realized this has legs, and we got to get somewhere legit. And that's when Union Kitchen came on and they not only gave us a space to work out of but they also helped us with guidance and building the infrastructure that you need to start a company. It's not just cooking oddly enough.

    Margarita Womack

    Founder, Mas Panadas

    I'm really proud of starting by chopping the onions by hand, with a knife, and moving on to a Robot Coupe and so on and so forth. And just going from making 30 cases at a time, to being able to make 200 cases in a day

    Michael and Harrison

    Co-founders, Compass Coffee

    And we hear about Union Kitchen and we're building out our first cafe. And Cullen is starting to explain that there's products that they are making that they could sell to us. That's really the beginning of our relationship with Union Kitchen is we're buying fresh baked goods from Union Kitchen, we're buying snacks. ...we'd rather support local businesses with people that we know.

    Daniel

    Founder, Berg Bites

    Something we love about working at Union Kitchen is that we get to be directly in touch with customers and consumers, we get to take their feedback and directly iterate it and then put it into our production and processes. Union Kitchen is all about building a local community and providing small batch locally crafted food and beverage.
