Welcome to

Culinary Collective

Culinary Collective is a collection of private and coworking commercial kitchen spaces for Philly’s thriving local chef community.

About Us

Culinary Collective was started as a way to meet the growing need for kitchen spaces for members of the culinary industry.

Our kitchens are family-owned & operated. We are home to over a dozen talented chefs, food trucks, caterers, and other local culinary brands…. and growing!

Becoming a member of Culinary Collective is easy. We offer one set monthly fee. There’s no long term commitments and no surprise fees. Our spaces are exclusive to a limited number of tenants, which means there will never be “too many cooks in the kitchen.”

Testimonials

“Working in a commissary gives life to the old age of borrowing a cup of sugar from a neighbor. While you’re running your own business independently, you have the ability to tap into a network of people around you. There are a bunch of other business minded people with whom you can discuss opportunities, work out a new recipe concept, or heck even borrow a cup of sugar”

Clean Plate Club

“Starting a business is challenging and scary. Working out of a good commissary kitchen is a great way to learn from peers that have done it or are doing it. The networking alone is so worth it. Make you feel as though you are not alone”

Byz Empire

“Working in a community of diverse people with diverse cuisines is a great learning experience. I love that I can gain expertise from everyone around me. Being surrounded by others and not being in your own four walls also means there are opportunities to share or borrow friends equipment in a pinch. I also love having colleagues palates to test what I’m working on and get feedback!”
