Cookline

🚨🚨We have EXCITING news to share, with a special offer to celebrate!🚨🚨 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are proud to now officially offer in-house woodworking 🪵 at Cookline! 🎉🎉 That includes design, fabrication and installation of millwork items such as custom tables, countertops, and shelving. We also provide wood refinishing and maintenance services. We can do it all! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We know that these certain areas of a restaurant are critical for operations (like tabletops!), and need special attention. Our team, led by our lead carpenter @heavy.handed.hammer 🙌, works closely with you to turn your vision into reality with your budget and timeline in mind. Visit our website (link in profile) to view our past projects! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🗓️ AND through the end of the year, we're offering up to 20% off our millwork services. DM for more info! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This new branch of @cooklinesf has been a long time in the works, and we're SO excited to finally officially launch a new way to serve our clients and community of restaurants! 🚀

They say when you love the thing you do for a living, then you can go through life without a day of work.  Reflecting on the last year, I can tell you, we had quite a few days of work.  But maybe less than the year before that, and definitely less than the year before that.  At Cookline, one of our core values is mastery.  This idea that you practice a craft over and over, consistently getting a little bit better, and this year, mastery has been top of mind for our team. When you get better at something, inevitably, you love doing it more. We love building restaurants.  We love working with people who want to share their favorite recipe, something that tastes so good you can’t keep it yourself.  People who want to invite others into a space and create memories, or a feeling.  The feeling of being taken care of fully, or escaping, even if just for a meal.  With our clients, it’s about the details:  The statement bar, a hearth as the centerpiece, an ombre wall, an arched ceiling, and not even a restroom is an afterthought.  We build restaurants because we can’t wait to see these dreams in reality.  Looking forward, we intend to do more of the things we love the most.  We hope you’ll join us in 2023 to do more of what you love.  We’d love to build it with you.

We’re looking for another Site Superintendent to join our team! As we all know, the best hires almost always come through word of mouth 🗣️ 🔔So we’re putting this out to our community:🔔 Who’s the person you’ve worked with on a build-out that truly stood out?? The one who stayed calm under pressure. Protected the client’s best interest. Communicated well. Treated the subs with respect. Took pride in the job site. Solved problems instead of creating them. Restaurant/commercial experience is strongly preferred, but above all, we’re looking for people who care about doing things the right way and being a solid teammate in the field. If someone comes to mind (or if it’s you!) slide into our DMs or email [email protected]

Full throttle to the finish over @somethingtastyanddelicious in San Anselmo! 🍔 Lots happening on site right now - FRP and stainless steel going ⬆️, tile going ⬇️, sparks flying💥 and the whole team pushing hard together toward the finish line. 🏁 This longtime neighborhood joint is getting a new chapter under new ownership, and we’re excited to help bring the space back to life! Can’t wait for San Anselmo to get a taste of what’s coming… 🤤

Building restaurants is what we do. Nights like this are why we’re good at it 🍕 Thanks to @thefooderyevents for hosting! (Lesson learned: flour burns fast. Thanks, Jonny. 🔥🧯😇)

It’s hard to believe @prescottmarketwestoakland is celebrating its first full year! 🎉@chromataretail started consulting and leasing for this amazing food-hall project in 2021 - a big idea for West Oakland! The vision came to life through the fabulous work of @cahadesign and @cooklinesf - two of the best in the biz - and so many more! Proud to have literally seen this be built from the ground up! Congrats to the OG tenants who believed in the dream @woocancook @almanacbeer @pizzeria.violetta @fasttimesburgers @highwirecoffee @fob_west @fattoamano_oakland @cafenoiroak #ChromataClients 💜 Cheers 🍻

We’re hiring a Site Superintendent!👷‍♂️ The people who turn drawings into restaurants. The people who keep projects moving every day. The people who keep everyone aligned on site. @cooklinesf is growing our field team in the Bay Area, and we’re looking for an experienced commercial superintendent who thrives in collaborative, fast-paced environments. If you know someone great in commercial construction and enjoys working in a supportive, team-oriented culture, we’d love an introduction! Link in bio!

Flour + Water Pizza Shop has officially landed in Oakland 🍕🚀 We partnered once again with @flourandwaterpizzeria , @knowles.architect and newest collaborator @hollandpartnergroup to bring the first East Bay location of this beloved concept to life - our seventh project together with @fwhospitality ! 🙌 We transformed a warm shell into a vibrant dining space with an open pizza kitchen built for serious volume, performance, and flow. Seeing the restaurant and neighborhood buzzing with energy since opening has been the best (and most delicious) reward for the entire team! 📸: @kristenloken

From dentist’s office to neighborhood bakeshop 🦷 ➡️ 🍞 @starterbakery ‘s new Albany location represents growth - more production capacity, more community reach, and another carefully considered home for the brand and its famous breads and pastries! What looks calm and refined at the counter required significant upgrades behind the walls and under the slab to make a true commercial bakery and cafe function seamlessly. We’re grateful to have partnered again with Chef Brian Wood and @cahadesign to bring this space to life. 🤍 Projects like this are about more than construction - they’re about supporting people who’ve built something worth expanding. 🥐 ☕️ 🥖 📸: @kristenloken
