I am looking to start an online baking business. California law requires that food be made out of a health department inspected commercial kitchen. Does anyone here have any good references? I live in South Orange County, California. Would love to find a kitchen in or near Rancho Santa Margarita. Happy Baking!

Hello,
I have a commercial kitchen with 1 sublease tenant available starting November 1, 2021. I do not have a stove or oven available. So if you need to cook or bake my kitchen isn't for you.
I have 2 large prep tables, refrigerator, freezer and dry space available.
My kitchen is in Laguna Niguel, CA.
If interested please contact me for more information.

I also found CuliFlex Kitchens listed in http://cookingwithdenay.com/home-based-bakers/state-cottage-laws/california/

Has anyone in OC heard of this place? I am thinking of sending them an email to get more info.

Don't know about California, but the real estate industry in Texas is in a slump. A buyers market. Been thinking about acquiring an existing restaurant/bakery and repurposing for use an an incubator kitchen. The top of my plus list is I wouldn't have to worry about having an excellent location with tons of parking.

I did send an email to CuliFlex Kitchens (customer.service@culiflex.com) and got a response back with attached overview of their business and application form. It did not go into rates. I guess they don't disclose that until after you apply. They are located in Santa Ana. I wanted to attach the overview they sent me for your own information but I guess that is not allowed here. If you'd like me to send it to you, send me your email address. I intend to fill out and send in the application. If anyone else is interested in taking a look at this place, let me know. I will update this thread either way once I get more information.

Hi Maribel,

I stumbled upon this thread while searching for an OC kitchen space for rent. I know this thread has been here for a while. I was wondering if you have found a place and is willing to share? I too am trying to start a business and would like to be able to use some kitchen space when needed. Thank you so much!!! /img/vbsmilies/smilies//smile.gif

Hi krista! How is the hunt for a kitchen rental place coming along? A friend of mine mentioned a restaurant space with a fairly large kitchen for sale in So. Orange County off of Brookhurst right off the 405. I think that is Fountain Valley. She is trying to get me more info on it and I will update you as soon as I can.

If you're still looking for a commercial kitchen:

Not sure what California has to offer, but in Oregon the Military Department is no longer using most of their armory kitchens and they're available for rent. Some are quite large, have the best equipment and have been well maintained. I've rented their kitchens in 2 locations: one shared and one on my own.   Both were great!
