The Bread & Roses Community Kitchen is a  place where dreams take shape and flavors come to life. From the beginning, we have offered our kitchen to individuals and community organizations seeking to make their mark on Charlottesville’s culinary scene. More than 20 local food businesses have successfully launched from within our walls. 

We also foster community by hosting a variety of workshops and programming, from cooking classes and nutrition seminars to food sustainability initiatives. Our aim is to bring people together, encourage collaboration and empower individuals to create positive change through food.

We believe that good food has the power to nourish both body and soul. We embrace diversity, innovation and the transformative nature of the culinary arts. Our kitchen is a vibrant space where creativity thrives, connections are made, and delicious memories are crafted.

If you are a budding entrepreneur looking for a professional space to bring your culinary ideas to fruition, or a community group in need of an educational venue, we invite you to contact us. Let's cook up something extraordinary together!
