I lost my baby at 20 weeks and kitchen doula nursed me back to health when I couldn't even think about cooking. The prices are so reasonable and it's the best prepared food in the Bay Area. So easy, so delicious. Thank you.

Delicious and nutritious food! Highly recommend for postpartum. I tried all their options before baby arrives so I know what I like the most once baby is here and place my order!

This was the most amazing gift as a new mom. My only complaint is that the food was so good my partner wanted to eat lots of it. Delivery was wonderful as I was a little outside the delivery area. Sad they are closed for a bit since I came to order this for my SIL, who I know would enjoy this too.

Vita Kitchen is an incredible meal delivery service that we've used for 6 years, providing a variety of delicious options prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Their options always change and include interesting vegetarian and vegan choices as well. Do not miss the mushroom bolognese, cornbread muffins, or any of the delicious salad dressings!!! Elyse and Chandler's team are professional and provide top notch service to their clients. Could not recommend more!!!

I was lucky enough to receive my very first Kitchen Doula surprise delivery as a baby shower gift right before heading off for maternity leave...what a gem this local small business is! I was so impressed with the delivery service, and my kit arrived in a nice insulated reusable Kitchen Doula bag. The hearty soups and stews came in so clutch for me during those early newborn days and long nights at 3am, when feeding time for baby came around and I was starvvvvinggg (and cold scurrying down to my kitchen in the odd hours of the night). I loved the nourishing cock-a-leek soup paired with a side of the plain biscuits...my husband and I were practically rushing to beat the other to the last serving of it because it was so nourishing and yummy (of course, I always got the seconds). We had a variety of the other staple soups, and I appreciate how diverse the options are on their site...you can't get bored with the selections. A couple years later, I have found myself riding the waves of the cold/flu season (which seems to keep cycling back in our household especially with a toddler in preschool passing germs back and forth), and I am needing to have nourishing, fresh, and warming soups to help bring comfort...and Kitchen Doula, we meet again! This is now my go-to recommendation for new mamas, parents, or peeps, just needing to find some relief in the food they eat, in a way that feels good to put into your body and to spend your money on. So happy for this service!

Hearty, healthy, nourishing meals delivered to your door. Staff so helpful. I really feel like you get your moneys worth and it was a great for a friend in need of healing. I love supporting this company.

In anticipation for baby's arrival, I ordered a "trial" from the Kitchen Doula - the Healing and Recovery package of soups and stews - because I wanted to be sure I would enjoy and feel nourished as having this type of food immediately postpartum. I have nothing but good things to say about it all. The process of ordering (super easy!), delivery (on time and communicative), and the amazing food, talk about DELICIOUS. So far I've enjoyed the chili (stew), chicken vegetable soup, chicken ginger soup, cock-a-leekie (stew), both kinds of lactation cookies, and the tumeric ginger tonic. All of the food has been delicious, the stews are hearty, the soups are lighter but still feel very nourishing. I especially loved the chicken vegetable soup (Tali uses lots of great vegetables and the zest she incorporates in unique and adds a brightness to the soup), the chili (the whole family devoured, even my "I don't like chili" husband), and cock-a-leekie. The cookies are delicious bite sized treats and the ginger tonic I felt it "strong enough" to split across multiple servings (mixed together with sparkling water). I'm looking forward to the pork and mustards soup and also to my next shipment. I would highly recommend the Kitchen Doula for anyone seeking wholesome, nourishing food - whether it be postpartum or otherwise.

New mom and others here is some Excellent food. After frustration with door dash restaurant food (too salty, etc) I sent my new mom daughter and her husband kitchen doula food and they were ecstatic! The loved it... nutritious and yummy! This is a must use site for new moms, you will not be disappointed. Service was also professional, quick, helpful, kind, and all around positive. Thanks Kitchen Doula

Tali is amazing! She was super helpful and thoughtful as I was getting my first order and had a delivery challenge. And the food is even better than the amazing customer service. The meals are soooo good! I gave a girlfriend a gift certificate a few years ago as a baby shower gift and she returned the favour to me when I had my second baby. I wish I had known about this business sooner, but it will continue to be my go-to baby gift! Cannot recommend enough!

We were given the new mama package as a gift from a friend to celebrate the arrival of our new baby. However, food is SO good that the entire family, including my picky toddler, enjoyed it. We have ordered again, and plan to make kitchen doula a cornerstone of our working parent survival plan. Thank you for this delicious and nutritious food cleverly packaged to be freezer friendly!

I ordered the Healing & Recovery package of soups and stews for the first time after having severe stomach issues over the last few weeks. Even after just a few days, my stomach is feeling SO much better and I'm feeling more like my normal self.Not only are the soups/stews nourishing and hearty, but they are so delicious that my husband keeps sneaking bites of my meals! Thank you, Tali, for helping me with my gut reset with your beautiful food.

I was introduced to Kitchen Doula through my mom who sent me an order when I was newly postpartum. The meals were so delicious and hearty that we ended up ordering several more deliveries in those early months. It really sustained us and I always got excited when I knew my meal was going to be from Kitchen Doula. On top of that, customer service was absolute perfection! I recently gifted an order to a dear friend who's about to welcome her second baby and I know she'll appreciate all the nourishment that Kitchen Doula provides. I would eagerly recommend to anyone!

I received a package of Kitchen Doula's food as a gift after having my son in 2021 and my husband and I loved it so much we placed another order for ourselves shortly thereafter. We now send Kitchen Doula packages as gifts to our friends who are welcoming home their newborns and we have loved to see the expanding menu and website updates.

Kitchen Doula has been a lifesaver during both of my post-partum journeys! Tali is great and quick to answer the questions I had about delivery to Concord. Delivery is every week and so seamless, there is even an app to track the status of the delivery. The soups and stews were all so flavorful - I didn't have to season them at all! My favorites are the cauliflower potato soup, ginger chicken soup and the oatmeal white chocolate chip cookies (seriously, so good!). Having access to quick and healthy food is so important, especially during the 4th trimester when I'm in full zombie mode. And I'm so thankful for Kitchen Doula!

Super nourishing postpartum meals and tonics. It was the perfect addition to our baby registry as well as meal train. It's super easy for people to buy gift certificates and the online platform is easy to navigate. Delivery was prompt and packaging efficient.
