ABOUT LA COCINA  | La Cocina (“The Kitchen”) is an award-winning San Francisco-based nonprofit business incubator for food businesses. La Cocina’s original home, which opened in October of 2005, is a 2200 sq ft shared-use commercial kitchen located in the Mission District at 2948 Folsom Street. In April 2021, La Cocina opened The Municipal Marketplace, a 7,000-sq.-ft multi-use space located in the Tenderloin at 101 Hyde Street. Initially, it was the nation's first women-led food hall. In September 2023, the space transformed and is now a shared-use commercial kitchen and event space. The mission of La Cocina is to cultivate low-income food entrepreneurs as they formalize and grow their businesses. We provide (1) commercial kitchens they can use for the development and ongoing operations of their business; (2) professional food industry technical assistance designed to improve their business operations, market penetration, profit, economic scale and sustainability; and (3) access to sales opportunities. Over the last 19 years, La Cocina has incubated more than 140 small businesses, created and ran the iconic San Francisco Street Food Festival for a decade, published the We Are La Cocina cookbook, amplified the voices of program participants via its Voices From the Kitchen show and Week of Women in Food dinner series, and supported nonprofits worldwide to implement similar incubators in their communities.
