We are enormous fans of The Cupboard for healthy, incredibly delicious food that our whole family loves and looks forward to each week. This has replaced takeout for us during the week, and we also add on items like healthy snacks and chicken tenders for our toddler's lunches. The customer experience is fantastic (great communication, easy to get in touch), and we love the low-impact, no waste delivery system in reusable glass containers. Highly recommend for busy families that are looking for high quality, healthy food but don't have time to cook. read more

Exceptional nutrient and culinary quality. I'll keep ordering. Zero doubt! I love the farms that supply the food

OBSESSED - Cupboard is the Bay Area's BEST KEPT SECRET for meal delivery. Zach (hubby) and I look forward to every meal and comment every single time how grateful we are to have found them. Rachael and Diana and their team prep the most delicious meals that are the freshest ingredients we've EVER had - I swear we joke that they aren't just chef's over there, they are likely growing the food it's THAT FRESH. I feel so good because the food isn't just tasty and organic and fresh - but the meals are nutritious and healthy. NEVER going back to other meal delivery services - it's the best investment we've made this year so far. read more

Who doesn't love Neal deliveries? Especially super high quality local organic goods? I'm all about freshness and simplicity and The Cupboard satisfies that for me. I really appreciate the seasonal treats which gives me variety when selecting what goes into my body. Another bonus is they do catering! That way you can share your love for delicious organic meals with your coworkers! Perfect for a reoccurring office lunch or maybe one time deal with clients. Whole 30 compliant you say? Plant based? Paleo?Covered. read more

I have worked with Rachael for a year or so now in a couple different environments. Rachael has cooked meals for my boyfriend and I and we absolutely love it. Being able to remove the stress of finding local organic food and having it delivered to us instead, meals prepared and ready to go, has changed our weeks drastically. I am a holistic exercise coach, therefore I know wellness and nutritional health well and was able to appreciate Rachael's attention to detail with flavors, ingredients and combinations. Truly, her cooking is incredible. I have also hired her to cook for my retreats. In this environment I'm not only impressed with her impeccable food, but also her professionalism and ability to create a stress free environment. She cooks holistic organic meals for groups of 10-30 people, with what seems like effortlessness!! Thank you for everything, Rachael! read more

See all

I heard about the Cupboard through a friend a couple years ago and was waiting for right time to use Rachael's service. A few months ago I was hosting a baby shower for my friend and she's very health conscious in general but has had some funny allergIes/aversions come up in her pregnancy so I knew the Cuoboard would be a good fit. Well Rachael completely knocked it out of the park and exceeded not only my expectations but also those of the momma to be. The spread she prepared was of course healthy and delicious but the food itself was so beautiful as was the packaging that it essentially acted as decor! The menu was beautifully designed and the food became the highlight of the shower. I wish I still lived in SF, I'd have Rachael catering my life if possible!! read more

We used the cupboard for a few years when our son was young and it was so amazing. Everything is delicious and extremely healthy, and used local and seasonal ingredients. We also switched back and forth between vegetarian and meat plans and both were great. Not inexpensive, but a really good way to avoid eating tons of unhealthy takeout when you don't have time to cook. read more

We love Cupboard! Rachael and her team are a joy to work with. Their food is delicious and healthy, the team has great values around local sourcing and sustainability, and they are so responsive to feedback. Cupboard isn't just saving us time. It's also made our lifestyle healthier and helping us explore new cuisines and ingredients! read more

The team at The Cupboard takes exceptional care of my family- I feel incredibly lucky to have their support. The meals they create are fresh, tasty, varied, and nutritious. I am always eager to have my toddler try food from The Cupboard, because she often likes it, and I can feel 100% great about what's inside. The portions are generous, and the delivery process is a breeze! I also really appreciate the team's flexibility. They are thoughtful and accommodating around food sensitivities and preferences. Communication with them is warm and zippy. I have recommended The Cupboard to several friends with different family needs and dietary considerations. They are great collaborators! read more

I would highly recommend The Cupboard to your life and health! Rachael's well thought out recipes are beautiful and 100% nourishing to the body and soul! Our busy lives don't allow for consistent cooking for our health needs, The cupboard takes care of this for us. I'm so thankful for these daily meals! read more

Rachael and her team are amazing. They prepare the most seasonal, delicious and nutritious meals. She also takes the time to personalize meals and is accommodating to food intolerances and sensitivities. Everything they make is super high quality and tasty. Highly recommend. read more

We've been doing the in home chef service for a few months now and it has been amazing. The organic and sustainable quality of the sourcing, and how nutritious the food is beats all the other "healthy" options we've tried around the city which left us underwhelmed. It's been great to personalize the meals and our chef has been able to integrate our keto and paleo preferences in really creative and delicious ways. It's amazing to open our fridge and have such great food ready on a daily basis. Highly recommend! read more

Best food delivery service in Sf. I am a health coach and these meals are by far the best in every category. Low waste they send everything in glass containers, super nutritious and they work with your dietary needs plus of course they are super yummy! read more

I had a couple of close friends visiting over the weekend and wanted to do something special for them. We've all recently become more health conscious with our diets so I asked Rachael to come to my home one evening and cook us a healthy meal. We could not have been happier--the food was excellent! She prepared a four course dinner that was gluten free, sugar free and nut and seed free. My favorite was the carrot soup, but everything was absolutely delicious and full of so much flavor. It was a treat to have Rachael in my kitchen because she was super happy to talk about the ingredients she was using and offered lots of advice about food preparation and cooking. We learned so much about healthier eating that evening and can't wait to try out some of the recipes on our own. If you're having a dinner party and want inventive, nutritious food to serve your guests, you should definitely contact Rachael to be your chef for the evening. read more

Finding the Cupboard has been a lifesaver for my family. The meals are delicious, healthy, and very comprehensive. We even feed everything to our 14 month old. Not having the stress of dealing with dinners during the week has been a game-changer! read more

I am so happy to have found Rachael! As someone with some moderate food sensitivities, but also being feeling intimidate by cooking in the kitchen, I found myself eating the same thing over and over. Rachael was very patient and thorough in my assessment and worked with me to make a menu plan that fit me perfectly. She worked with me in the kitchen on some techniques and tips and made the kitchen a fun place again. I've also hired her to cook a few meals for some small gatherings I've put on and all of her recipes have been a hit! My personal favorite being her naturally sweetened black sesame pudding! More than anything she's an incredibly nice person and someone I would recommend in a heartbeat. read more

I get the impression that Rachael is onto something really special with The Cupboard. I have always been pretty conscious of ingredients and nutritional intake, but lately I have felt a bit stifled and uninspired in my meal preparation. Rachael worked with my dietary limitations and provided a range of different assemblies and preparations that I had never considered, and was really impressed with. Her approach is really accessible and hands on, and I feel like she makes a concerted effort to meet you wherever you're at experience wise. My friends and family loved the arrangements and preparations that Rachael provided me with, and I have began to incorporate a lot of what I learned from her on a regular basis. She has definitely renewed my passions and inspiration for nutritionally inspired and flavorful preparations. Again, I feel like Rachael is really on the verge of something special here, you'd be doing yourself a solid to check in with her. Thanks again. read more

Rachael's services are reliable, convenient and top-notch. Her food not only tastes as good as it looks, but she is creative with her approaches to special dietary needs like allergies, paleo, etc. Highly recommended. read more

I signed back into Yelp after many years of not Yelping just to write this review. It's a bit of a story (and a long, personal one), so bear with me (or just look above to the five star rating and call Rachael!). I believe there are two types of people in this world, those that eat to live, and those that live to eat. I am the latter. Food is essentially the only thing that I'm thinking about all day, any day. I plan my life around my meals, and not the reverse. But, after a bad stomach bug years ago my gut never fully recovered and I was suffering in a major way - to the point where every meal brought me stress and discomfort. I went to a GI doctor and another and another and ultimately it was determined that I had SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and that was the cause of many of my symptoms. For me, it was not a life threatening condition, but more of a frustrating nuisance that interfered with my work, my health, my happiness and yes, my eating. To treat it, one doctor recommended a 10-week course of 2 different antibiotics which would fully wipe the bacteria from my small intestine. I'm wary of antibiotics, especially when it comes to my already sensitive gut - so I asked for alternatives. He said I could try the "low fodmap diet" (http://www.ibsdiets.org/fodmap-diet/fodmap-food-list/) which essentially would starve out the bacteria and hopefully restore the gut. This frankly sounded a bit quackish to me at first, so I went to another doctor who suggested the same diet if I wasn't willing to try the antibiotics just yet. So I figured I'd give it a go as a last resort before going on a big course of medicine. Turns out the low fodmap diet is a huge pain. No lactose, no gluten (my lifeblood), no garlic, no onions (which are both in everything, btw), no sugar, or sweeteners no avocados (da fuq?) no beans, no peas, no honey, no grapefruit, you get the idea. It was HIGHLY restrictive. But alas, I persisted, and tried to make myself food. Two weeks in, I ended up hungry, exhausted and even more frustrated than before. It was bad enough having a sh*tty gut (pun intended) - but now the one thing that I actually enjoy (eating heartily) was destroyed. So I turned to the one friend we all turn to when times are tough: google. And after a little bit of searching, there it was: The Cupboard! I was immediately drawn into Rachael's website and what sounded like genuine passion for cooking and helping people live their best and healthy lives. The website was beautiful and so I sent her an email and hoped that her food had the same level of care as her webpage. I explained my awkward condition in the email and asked if she was game to tackle this annoying food challenge - and thankfully she was! We got started shortly thereafter, I signed up for the BusyBee lunch and the two bulk dinners. I wish I were exaggerating, but working with Rachael changed my life. Her food is creative, fresh and a delight with every bite. I get excited every time she e-mails over a menu or drops off a delivery with perfect packaging and a specially printed menu - the level of care and thought that she puts into meal planning and her entire business is incredible. She makes awesome dips and snacks, incredible salads and some of the best dressings I've ever had. She somehow perfectly cooks meat every time. She makes me love food that I didn't even know I liked and probably wouldn't order (walnut basil crusted salmon, who knew?). The food is so good that I completely forgot that I was on a freakish diet and the weeks passed by quickly and easily as I found myself back in love with food and feeling energetic, healthy and happy again. And despite never feeling hungry, I actually lost 8 pounds (which is a huge bonus when you're in your 30's). I stuck to the fodmap program for about 6 weeks as the doctor recommended, before going on a vacation where I found myself oddly *missing* her food while I was away. It's now been about five months of working together and I'm back on a normal person's diet now (gimme that cheese!!), but the weight has stayed off and my symptoms are still thankfully gone. Throughout the entire time of working together Rachael has been compassionate, thoughtful, communicative, and truly a kind and generous-hearted person. I hope that more people can find the joy that I do in working with her. read more

I would definitely recommend The Cupboard SF - Rachael truly dedicates incredible effort to understanding what your needs are. My husband and I were extremely impressed with her menus and thoughtfulness that goes into each one, and also how she works with you to make sure it is something that you will be happy with. I especially love that she offers an option with the delivered meals to prepare the sauteed leafy greens yourself - getting soggy greens delivered is never good so it's extremely thoughtful to send those separately for quick prep at home along with the prepared food that gets sent. read more

We hired The Cupboard after an exhausting search for the right meal delivery solution for our family. They had catered an event for a friend and we loved the food so much that we decided to reach out. Rachael and her team have been an invaluable addition to our life by providing consistent and delicious food that fit our dietary requirements (which there are many!). The portions and quality of the ingredients are amazing and we especially appreciate the quality of the communication. We generally eat paleo, but also did Whole 30 a few months back that The Cupboard was able to effortlessly handle. We did come across a few services that were cheaper, but the value and quality of food/service we are getting from The Cupboard is extremely worth it for our little family. read more

I recently hired Rachael to make meals for a yoga retreat I co-hosted at Oz Organic Farm in Point Arena in June. We worked together for the months before to find out about people's dietary restrictions and food allergies were. I knew that Rachael would be a great fit as I have worked along side her before working at the same yoga studio. Rachael's food was infused with not only amazing flavors, produce from the farm, love, and thoughtfulness! At very meal I over heard people asking for the recipe and commenting on how delicious and how great they felt after eating. Having a yoga background in addition to her education with food I believe is what also takes her food to another level. She understands the body and how food can assist health and well being. Rachael not only accommodated people with their food needs but also made an amazing cake to celebrate a birthday of someone who was on the retreat! Thank you for your attentiveness and care given to all the meals, it was a highlight for everyone on the retreat! read more

I decided to try out the Cupboard after checking out a bunch of meal delivery services. The food has been terrific! I was looking for a service that was organic and also could adhere to a few preferences and allergies. I just finished a FODMAP protocol and have been focusing on a Whole30 / Paleo approach and Rachael has been easily been able to accomodate. The communication is also fantastic and it pretty much feels like I have my own personal chef. Highly recommended!!! read more

Oh my gosh what a savior! Living a life of dietary restrictions is not the easiest, especially when you have more than one. Not only does The Cupboard provide me with the tastiest meals that fit my needs but THEY HAVE OPTIONS. I love options. I never really find more than one option for my specific needs when I go out to eat without being the asshole that modifies every aspect of a dish. So thank you for making things fun again! I so dig what you represent. read more

Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. Rachael's recipes are filled with amazing ingredients and everything is made with lots of love in it. Rachael and her chefs make clean eating not feel like a compromise. I would especially recommend the service to anyone with particular diets that need a little more customization than what is available on demand. read more

I had no idea what to expect upon hiring a personal chef to cook for a group of people for our first yoga retreat but Rachael rose above any assumptions I could have made. She was very professional, easy going, and generous with sharing her knowledge of clean eating with me and my students during the retreat. Her understanding of the subject of healthy eating and ethical sourcing of food is very strong, and most importantly, her food was absolutely scrumptious -- and healthy! I am so grateful we selected her as our personal chef! read more

I highly recommend Rachael and love the creativity and care she brings to the food she makes. If you are looking for personal chef meals she provides true quality. She is down to earth, professional, talented, and very easy to work with. I also follow her on social media and am inspired by her daily. I cannot say enough great things about Rachael and The Cupboard! read more

It's hard to find people who are like minded when it comes to dietary lifestyle and health. Great dishes, simple and healthy ingredients, and to top it off, they are incredibly passionate about what they do which is what always puts a smile on my face, and I'm still wearing it :) Thanks! read more

Rachael provided me with the most amazing nutritious meals! She made several cooked meals that were packed and ready to freeze for when my baby was due to arrive. In addition she made bone broth all packaged for weekly use of 5-10 servings-which was a life saver! Surviving the first two months and recovering from labor was made easier by the bone broth and pre made meals! My husband and I love the quinoa with mushrooms and zucchini turkey meatballs :) The bone broth gave me nutrients I was lacking and made me feel more energized. I also love the recipes Rachael shared with me. They are easy to make and very tasty! I highly recommend! read more

We are seriously blown away. After trying out so many different meal providers without much luck on a fit- we had been bracing ourselves for possibly another surprise. And we got one, but this time it was so good! This isn't "restaurant quality food" where it's assumed you'll get that occasional soggy lettuce that oily cutlet, this is the kind of food you cook for your family- where you carefully pick through the produce for the wilted leaf or the extra gristle to trim because you love them. From the duck that fell off the bone to the perfectly chopped and assembled salad (not some tired boxed spring mix) that was so fresh it literally sprang out of the container when opened--every dish was just so thoughtfully prepared and packaged I honestly felt like I was giving my family home cooked food. Note: the portions will say for 4 meals- but honestly it lasted breakfast, lunch, dinner AND snacks for 5 days--the portions are VERY generous. read more

I coordinate and run small events and finding "catering" partners can be total nightmare. Most of the time my options are limited when it comes to my more health conscious crowd. I heard about Rachel through a friend in San Francisco and hired her to cook a small dinner. The experience was great and the each dish was healthy, delicious, and very very creative. She also went above and beyond to accommodate a few dietary restrictions and was a total joy to work with. read more

Amazing food! So reliable and convenient! You have your skills let her use hers in the kitchen and make your life that much better with amazing meals on the regular. For all meal prep services this is a must try. read more

I hired Rachael when I embarked on the Whole 30 plan to cook meals that were whole 30 compliant. Everything she made was absolutely delicious and she knows so much about nutrition on top of being an excellent chef. She is a delight to work with and very organized and responsive. I wish I could keep for forever! She also catered a small dinner party for me, and my guests could not stop raving about the food. I look forward to working with her again in the future and would recommend her wholeheartedly! read more

I recently did a consultation with Rachael and it was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and really spent time with me to thoroughly go through my diet and life style. She sent me some delicious, healthy, and TRULY easy to make recipes, which lead me to start following her food blog. The result is that I am reinspired in the kitchen and very attentive to the choices I am making with food. read more

Rachael has helped me provide more of a variety of options for my family for fun dinners that are quick and easy to make. My husband (despite himself) has a finicky stomach so I was getting into a bit of a rut with options that we were all happy with and I'm so pleased to have found some support in Rachael! She is so lovely and patient with me. Couldn't be more thrilled :) read more

Working with Rachael was an amazing experience. Her patience and empathy impressed me, as well as how well she tailored her menu plan and resources for my needs. She has helped me fit nutrition into my existing lifestyle and the recipes she provided me were unbelievably delicious. I would highly recommend working with her! read more

Rachael was a dream to work with on my nutrition and was a huge help in improving my eating habits. I felt incredibly comfortable opening up to her and she tailored her time and tips for me to the specific aspects of my diet I wanted to work on. With her help I was able to put a stop to my daily headaches through adjusting my eating routines and learning more about what my body was lacking and how to incorporate that in my meals. Her recipes are delicious and easy to make, coming from someone that isn't too skilled in the kitchen. I would definitely recommend Rachael!! read more
