Say hello to Marcy, she is the owner of @wishflourbakery in the @northvillageartsdistrictcomo , the bakery is open to the public on First Friday. Follow Wishflour on the socials for art/cooking classes in her new Bonus Room. Marcy has been with WishFlour since 2020 and used the CoMo Cooks kitchen as her commissary kitchen and open her space she is currently, in 2023.
Meet Mahalet, she owns Mahi's Ethiopian Kitchen , located in Alley A, if you know the butterfly wings in the alley, her place is right there.
The traditional dishes are served with injera a fermented flat bread that is used to scoop up stews like Mahi's wots. So many delicious vegan options. I ordered the lunch special. The flavors are very unique.
Mahalet joined CoMo Cooks in late 2023 and a year later she opened a brick and mortar. We are all very proud of you. đź‘Ź
Busy weekend with 4 events, 3 of them being dessert bites. This year's trend is a dessert table. I can make all your dessert dreams come true. This table included vegan/gluten free options as well.
This venue is a classic, Alpine Park and Gardens has lovely art, ponds with fish, and surrounding gardens.
Today I played a game of “The Price is Right” at @comocooks kitchen!
Since being a client here I have learned that so much goes into having a commercial kitchen space - and clearly I am still very clueless of what equipment costs are! Thankfully Carrie acquired grants for Como Cooks to purchase all this equipment to help entrepreneurs start our businesses without having to buy all of that ourselves!
Shoutout to the crew today @thebiscuitcenter@dimplesandrollsllc@tidbitsandsweets@hbbakeryandtllc
✨ Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when it means leaving behind such an incredible community at Como Cook’s shared kitchen on the Loop. 🥹💖
To all my amazing friends and fellow entrepreneurs, thank you for the laughter, support, and camaraderie. Each of you has played a significant role in my journey, helping me navigate the chaos and the quiet moments alike. Your kindness and encouragement have truly brightened my days!
I’ll cherish the memories we’ve created together and look forward to seeing each of you thrive. Here’s to new adventures ahead! 🌟

Dive Bar is another graduate that is on the Business Loop. The owners Karen and Jeff used the CoMo Cooks when we were still in building mode and had a temporary space on Walnut. They used our space for their catering and after a year of hard work, they got their own kitchen space. 2 years later and they bought and run SilverBall on 9th st.
With more great news coming soon. Karen tells us she has 2 more great locations opening this year.
If you are looking for culinary/restaurant employment, contact Karen at the Dive Bar. That team is growing quickly.
The food is always good, I ordered the 5th Ward sandwich that was available during Mardi Gras.
You can order your lunch ahead of time and come pick up to go, or dine in. Follow them to hear about nightly live music and drink specials. @thedivebarcomo #comocooks #goodtobeintheloop #thingsaremadehere #graduate #divebar
Have you been to @jowins.kitchen in the @plazaeventcenter_parkade on @theloopcomo
Jean opened Jowin’s kitchen a year ago. Her business has been baking gooey butter cake for years. When she got to busy to mass produce at home she began renting the @comocooks kitchen. You can also find Jowins Kitchen at @columbiafarmersmarket In addition to gooey butter cake, they serve coffee and tea, fresh baked goods, and for lunch, soups, salads and wraps.
Jean is there most days and you can ask her about the family photos that go back 5 generations. Jean's grandmother nicknamed her Jowin when she was a little girl.
Stop in and enjoy a quiet spot that makes you feel at home.

This month I will feature our CoMo Cooks Graduates. @dwskitchen573 is our latest graduate, after a year of running the food truck, Davon has moved in 2 doors down at the old Carlitos on @theloopcomo . Come dine in, use the drive thru, or order DoorDash. There is something on the menu for everyone.
My personal favorite is the fish and chips. Open most days 11:00am-11:00pm.
