Three kitchens · Never shared
Each Health Department approved kitchen has its own 14-foot cookline — double-stack commercial convection ovens, six-burner range, and 20+ linear feet of stainless steel prep tables. The difference between them is the specialty equipment each cookline has.

Most shared kitchens rent you a table in a room full of strangers. Cooking Block rents you exclusive kitchen space to operate in freedom — every burner, every oven, every inch of 20+ linear feet of prep table — with nobody else in it.

The Exchange is coming: the public side of this community — one page per craft, built so customers outside the building can find the businesses inside it. When someone asks who makes what you make, the house points them to you.
Clients reserve kitchens online, around the clock, and manage their account — invoices, statements, and payments — in one place.
