Oakland Bloom

Oakland Bloom is a nonprofit organization based in Oakland, CA, dedicated to supporting migrant BIPOC chefs and entrepreneurs through mutual support, healing, and accessible pathways to ownership. Through their flagship Open Test Kitchen program, they provide a year-long incubator and training experience aimed at helping chefs build their own food businesses while addressing the systemic barriers they face.

The organization operates in Oakland Chinatown, a vibrant immigrant community, and strives to advance equity, accessibility, and worker rights by promoting collective ownership and strong community networks. Oakland Bloom's work focuses on helping refugee and immigrant chefs, particularly women of color, achieve business ownership and fulfill their culinary passions despite the challenges posed by various socio-economic factors.
