Located in the heart of Elmwood Village, the Culinary Center is dedicated to early-stage catering as well as retail and wholesale food businesses.

Our 1,250-square-foot fully-equipped commercial kitchen facility is the centerpiece of the Culinary Center. It is the first facility in Buffalo specifically designed to meet the needs of small caterers, personal chefs, bakers, cake decorators, food vendors, and producers of specialty food items such as condiments and candies. Our licensed, fully inspected facility is available to create recipes, test batch sizes, and produce products for sale. Our kitchen has also been carefully designed to accommodate a wide range of cooking classes – both demonstration and full participation.
