incubate.

elevate.
If your food business is thriving, we want to help move you beyond our kitchen! We’d love to help you think through the next steps for your business, whether that’s finding a brick and mortar space or taking our elevate classes!
In an effort to give kitchen members real-time restaurant experience with their products, we introduced Cafe Takeovers with 647 Coffee! As our kitchen sits just behind the coffee bar, kitchen members can curate their own menus and sell their made-to-order food out of 647 Coffee for brunch, lunch or dinner during select dates and times. Guests have the opportunity to provide feedback, altogether giving our kitchen members low-risk experience running a kitchen.
