- Bowie R. of eF & Be Bakehouse
No one manages shared commissary kitchen space as well as this team! The management team carefully consider the needs of their members and are truly invested in the success of small food businesses and manufacturers. I’ve recommended this space many times with total confidence in the amazing service they offer.
- Natalie Ferrari-Morton, Founder, East Van Jam
Great service, very organized and most cleaned commissary kitchen in greater Vancouver - management on top of everything all the time :)
- Nick H. of Le Chef
I can't say enough good words about how satisfied I am with YVR prep and how it helped me to expand my food business (Bon Moment event catering). Clean and well managed kitchen, full array of cooking equipment, central location within a minute drive to Costco, co-working space for meetings, and a bonus dishwashing service, just to name a few. If you are ready to take the next step into growing your food business, I highly recommend YVR prep!

- Paula B. of Fume-eh Gourmet
We were at YVR PREP for 4 years and it was great. We love the three owners and the operations manager. They really try their best to support new and small business owners. I’ve recommended YVR PREP to many people!
