I am co-owner of Macadons and Pink's Ice Cream. We were technically the first tenant at Artisan Community Kitchen since we were occupying the space for about 2 years before Darrin and his team came in and turned it into a commissary kitchen.The changes he made to improve the space was night and day. While building it out, he was always very accommodating and asking what everyone wanted and needed so that it would be a welcoming place to come into. New paint on the walls, new flooring, new decor, upgraded and repaired equipment that was there, and paid for new equipment to come in, on top of many other things that were done behind the scenes.I've had many conversations with Darrin and he is one of the most caring people I know. He comes from the same background as anyone that is looking for a space to manufacture their food products because he used to own his own catering business so he knows how hard it was finding a space that would fit our needs. I think that is one of the most important pieces of information to know.It was a tough decision for our team to move out since we loved being there, but we had to do leave. We were taking up a lot of space already and we are continuing to grow and it just didn't make sense for us or for Artisan Community Kitchen to keep us there. After leaving, we still have a great relationship with Darrin and his team and we love coming back to chat and see the progress and new people that are coming into the space.Whether you're looking for a space to test out your product to see if it makes sense to go all in and turn your dream into a reality, or looking for a space to expand your current operations, working with ACK is a great place to do it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone I know! Set up a time for a tour and a talk with Darrin and see for yourself!

I cannot recommend Darrin and his team highly enough. He catered my wedding and despite a bunch of changes to the date/timing/menu/guest list (thanks, Covid), Darrin could not have been more accommodating. The food was delicious, the service was professional and super friendly, and they left my kitchen cleaner than it's ever been. My photographer even commented that Darrin is the best caterer she's seen out of all of the weddings she's worked. But even more importantly, Darrin did so much to alleviate all of my pre-wedding stress. Every call with, or email from him made me feel so much more relaxed. If you're considering Savory Kitchen for your catering needs, you will absolutely not be sorry.

If you're looking for a caterer, you have to go with Savory Kitchen Catering. Darrin catered our engagement party on 12/14 for ~20 people with a spectacular menu of finger foods.Darrin got in touch with me right way after filling out an interest form on the website to over the event details, food and budget. He sent over a customized proposal shortly. I told him my family is from Taiwan and he threw in a couple of Taiwanese dishes that were tasty and creative.Darrin arrived on time and set up everything in our home. Tear down was super easy and painless. Everyone at the party was gushing about his food and services and we will definitely recommending him to all our family/friends and hope to work with him in the future again.Darrin's communication, culinary skills and professionalism are all on point! You will be amazed.

A rave review is extended to Darrin and his assistant. A 70th birthday lunch was prepared for approx. 40 people. People kept saying "this food is amazing", and what a perfect selection for all to enjoy. My husband, found Darrin through Bark. Since we rarely use a catering service, Darrin was patient and flexible in helping us through this seamless experience. We highly recommend Savory Kitchen Catering.

I wanted something special for a 'big' birthday, and Darrin/Savory Kitchen Catering exceeded all expectations! We were able to customize every part of the evening, from custom cocktails to each of the appetizers. It was such an easy process and perfect evening! Thank you.
Cindy Gerk
I would love to give Savory Kitchen and Darrin more than 5 stars. We had the most remarkable meeting catering that I have ever experienced. Darrin turned my last minute request and high demands into a very successful meeting. Our meeting attendees were both high-level staff and foreign visitors and his food was so good that they all gave wonderful reviews. Thank you for making me look good to our guests. I highly recommend Savory Kitchen for any of your catering needs. You will be as impressed as I.

Wedding Caterer Perfection! Amazing Service, Delicious Food, All Around Perfect!We booked Savory Kitchen Catering for our wedding. Darren is friendly and professional and really invested in ensuring we had the best catering experience possible. Darren worked with us through all of the details and provided a delicious tasting in our home and went above and beyond by bringing wine. He had various check in meetings with us to ensure things were on track and constantly updating our wedding catering plan to ensure it contained the most accurate and updated information. We had a Mexican themed Wedding (Mexican Family) and the food (Appetizers and Dinner) was DELICIOUS and AUTHENTIC.We highly recommend him to anyone looking for catering services!

Darrin at Savory Kitchen was a pleasure to work with! The food was outstanding, and the presentation was very professional and organized. No detail was overlooked, we will be using again!
Darrin of Savory Kitchen Catering is fantastic! I've had the pleasure of experiencing his exemplary catering on several occasions for a private dinner especially prepared for our group. He always goes above and beyond to plan the menu, source the food, and pair wines with it. He's passionate about cooking and it shows in everything he prepares.
Arlene Fairfield
Darrin and Savory Kitchen Catering have catered events for me from small - in my home for a holiday party - to large for over 100 people at Town Hall just a week ago. The quality of the food, the presentation, the professionalism was top-notch. I've referred Darrin to many others as he was a referral to me from someone who hosts multiple events. I can't recommend Savory Kitchen enough!
Merideth Randles
Excellent Spanish food catered for a business lunch! My group was delighted with a departure from the normal sandwich/salad box lunch, and the price was just as competitive. Creative dishes that offered great vegetarian and gluten free choices as well. Highly recommended.
