The Anti-Takeout Kitchen. A healthier, tastier alternative to delivery apps.

Get Started Today

Every meal I create is made with the same care I put into feeding my own family- the freshest ingredients, the most nourishing combinations, and flavors worth sitting down for. I designed these meals for busy people, because I know what it's like to come home after a long day and need something good, fast. 

I'm equally devoted to the health of the planet. Ingredients are thoughtfully sourced from sustainable and regenerative farms, and every package is fully compostable, because good food shouldn't come at the earth's expense.  Our entrees are flash-frozen at peak freshness to preserve every bit of flavor, texture, and nutrition, so what reaches your plate is just as good as the day it was made. Subscribing is simple. Choose weekly or bi-weekly delivery, and pause or cancel anytime. No commitment, just the convenience of great food waiting for you at home.

"I'm in the office most nights until 7 or 8, and by the time I get home, the last thing I want to do is cook. Having Debby prepare meals for the week has honestly changed my routine. I open the fridge, heat something up, and it tastes like I actually took care of myself that day. I can't put a price on that."

Everything You Need to Know

Are Leaf & Bloom Entrees gluten-free?

We have an extensive gluten-free menu.

Why do we flash-freeze our meals?

We flash-freeze our entrees immediately after cooking to lock in peak freshness, flavor, and nutrients—without added preservatives. Rapid freezing creates smaller ice crystals, which helps preserve the integrity of each ingredient. The result is a meal that reheats beautifully and tastes just as fresh as when it was prepared.

How are my meals delivered?

We deliver all meals in temperature-controlled, zero-degree trucks to ensure they remain fully frozen from our kitchen to your building. Each order is carefully packed to protect freshness and food safety throughout the delivery process.

What is the packaging like?

Meals arrive securely packaged and ready to be placed directly into your freezer. Sustainability matters to us—our packaging, including printed materials, is 100% compostable and responsibly sourced, and our insulated delivery bags are made from recycled materials.

How long will my entrees last in the freezer?

For the best flavor and texture, we recommend enjoying your entrees within a few weeks of delivery. While they will remain safe when kept frozen longer, consuming them sooner ensures the highest quality experience.

Can I change my entree selections each week?

Yes. You can update your entree selections weekly through your personal customer portal. Simply log in using the password sent to your email and make changes before the weekly cutoff.

What is the order cutoff?

All orders and weekly entree changes must be submitted by Saturday at 12:00 PM (noon) prior to the week of delivery.

Why do deliveries require a doorman, concierge, or someone available at the building entrance?

To maintain food safety and quality, deliveries must be received by a doorman, concierge, or someone available at the building entrance. This ensures your insulated delivery bag is accepted promptly and your meals remain fully frozen.
