Opening November 2026 in San Marco

You’ve outgrown your home kitchen.We built the next step.

A licensed shared kitchen in San Marco for bakers, juice and coffee brands, ice cream makers, and confectioners. We came up through the farmers markets ourselves and know what the search for a real kitchen feels like, so we built the one we wished existed.

Founding-member pricing for the first 20 members. 18 spots left.

Join the waitlist

No commitment. We’ll call to talk through what you make and what you need, and whether a founding spot fits.

How do you make your product?

We’ll only use this to reach you about the kitchen.

  • Licensed and inspected
  • San Marco, Jacksonville
  • Hourly access to full membership

Who it's for

Bakers, juice and coffee brands, ice cream makers, and more.

These six are the businesses we designed around, but the same tables, ovens, and cold storage suit plenty of others. If your product is made without a range or hood, there's likely a place for you here.

  • Baking & Pastry

    Stainless work tables with access to shared convection ovens and mixers for breads, cakes, cookies, and pastry.

  • Cold-Pressed Juice & Smoothies

    Cold prep tables, a produce wash sink, and refrigerated storage by the rack. Bring your own press or blender and we supply the licensed space around it.

  • Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts

    Prep space, induction burners for bases, and dedicated freezer storage for ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and popsicles. Bring your own batch freezer.

  • Coffee & Cold Brew

    Prep and bottling space with cold storage for cold brew and ready-to-drink coffee. Bring your own brewing setup.

  • Confections & Candy

    Cool, dry counters, induction burners for sugar and chocolate work, and packaging space for chocolates and candy.

How it works

Four steps from waitlist to production

The waitlist is free and commits you to nothing. We call you back, we work out whether it's a fit, and we get you producing on opening day.

  1. Step 1: Join the waitlist

    Name, email, phone, and how you make your product. It takes a minute and commits you to nothing.

  2. Step 2: We call you back

    We talk through what you make, how many hours you need, and whether we're a good fit for each other.

  3. Step 3: Claim a founding spot

    If it fits, we walk you through the founding options and you pick your level. Founding-member pricing for the first 20 members. 18 spots left.

  4. Step 4: Produce on opening day

    Walk through the kitchen ahead of opening, get set up, and book your first block.

The kitchen

The details that make production work

Work tables, shared ovens and mixers, and the storage and access that a real food business needs. Specialty equipment is yours to bring.

See the kitchen
  • Cold and freezer storage by the rack

    Rent refrigerated or freezer space by the half rack or full rack so inventory stays on site between sessions. Need your own unit? We can place a member-owned fridge or freezer case by case.

  • Dedicated parking

    Reserved parking for members, so loading in and out is never a scramble for a spot.

  • Roll-up door for deliveries

    A large pull-up door with direct access, so pallets and case deliveries roll straight in.

What we’re not

This is not a hot-line kitchen

We do not have a commercial range or exhaust hood. The kitchen is not suitable for frying, grilling, wok cooking, or savory hot-line production.

We built this kitchen for a specific set of businesses and equipped it well for them. If your menu needs a range, we’ll tell you honestly up front rather than take your money for a space that can’t do the job.

  • Frying, grilling, or wok cooking
  • Savory hot-line and restaurant prep
  • Anything that needs a range or exhaust hood

Questions

The things people ask first

All frequently asked questions

What does joining the waitlist commit me to?

Nothing. We call you back to hear what you make and how many hours you need, and to see whether we're a good fit for each other. If we are, we walk you through the founding options, and a spot is yours only if you want it.

What is founding-member pricing?

Special pricing reserved for our first 20 members. We're finalizing the numbers now, and once we know what you need we walk you through the founding options. 18 spots are still open.

Can I see the kitchen before I commit?

Yes. We'll invite you to walk through the kitchen ahead of opening day. Nobody commits to anything without seeing the space first.

Do I need my own food license to use the kitchen?

Yes. We are a licensed shared kitchen facility, but each business operating here needs its own license or permit for the products it makes, plus a food manager or food handler certification as required for your operation. Most small producers in our categories are permitted through FDACS. We review this during the application and can point you to the right agency, but we can't operate under our license on your behalf.

Can I fry, grill, or cook savory dishes here?

No. We do not have a commercial range or exhaust hood. The kitchen is not suitable for frying, grilling, wok cooking, or savory hot-line production. If your menu depends on a range, fryer, griddle, or smoker, we are not the right kitchen for you and we'll tell you that honestly before you spend time on an application.

What does it cost?

Rates are being finalized and will be published before we open in November 2026. The model is set: hourly access with a modest monthly minimum, membership levels up to full access, and cold or freezer storage rented by the half rack or full rack. Founding-member pricing for the first 20 members. 18 spots are still open, 4 of them full access. Join the waitlist and we'll walk you through the options once we know what you need.
