We get it.
We know from experience just how hard it is to start and grow a successful food business, especially when it comes to communities of color, specifically Black and Brown communities, and even more specifically the femmes and LGBTQIA+ in those communities. We have created an inclusive and affordable kitchen that provides opportunities for anyone to participate in Atlanta’s thriving food culture. If you’ve been frustrated by barriers or felt unwelcome at other kitchens in the Atlanta area, we’re confident that you’ll feel right at home at Leaven.

We are thrilled to be able to be part of this collaborative space to produce our product. From the time you step into the door, one knows it is a COVID safe place and that is very important at this time. Looking forward to a long lasting relationship.

Literally has been an amazing experience. Fern is the glue and is Thee most patient person I’ve ever met. The facility is clean and everything is always in stock and easy to find. So many amenities and my kitchen mates are friendly, respectful and supportive.
Would definitely recommend.

Without a doubt the best flexible shared kitchen space in Atlanta. Leaven is well maintained, well resourced, and well organized. Management is down to earth and works with you every step of the way. Many startup food businesses involve a number of pivots to find product market fit and it's incredibly valuable to have a partner like Leaven that is willing to scale as needed to accommodate your needs. I've seen other spaces and none are this clean and orderly.
