The Story of Tha Kitchen
Founders
At Kitchen C+C, our mission is rooted in community. As we saw a rise in local food entrepreneurs, we knew we needed to create a space that supports their ambitions. We developed an incubator kitchen where these talented individuals can bring their food ideas to life.
But our vision extends beyond a commercial kitchen. We wanted to build a hub where everyone could reconnect with the joy of cooking. That’s why we included a teaching island for hands-on classes and workshops. Our Kitchen is also designed as a versatile venue, perfect for hosting everything from weddings and baby showers to book clubs and corporate meetings.
Understanding the demands of busy families, we’re also launching a grab-and-go market with healthy meal options for those on the move.
Our hope is that Kitchen C+C becomes a welcoming space where every community member can feel inspired and fulfilled.
