EveryPlate

EveryPlate meal kit

We’ve got a budget-friendly meal-kit company on the scene! EveryPlate meals start at a whopping $4.99 per plate (before shipping) which is by far the most affordable meal delivery service in the Bay Area. Maximum savings are achieved when you’re ordering for 4 people each week—so it’s a great option for families on a budget.

EveryPlate focuses on simple meals that are easy to clean up and even easier to make. They even use less packaging than their parent company, HelloFresh, so feel good about saving on cost and waste.

Thistle

Thistle’s Microgreens Salad

Headquartered across the bay in Oakland, this company is a hometown sweetheart. With Thistle’s dedicated customer service and refined tech, it’s perfect for those who enjoy supporting local business but who don’t want the convenience and reliability you expect from larger meal kit companies.

We love Thistle because of their true SFO values and ready-to-eat meals. They deliver healthy, energizing foods that are plant-forward, gluten-free, dairy-free, and organic whenever possible.

Sun Basket pulls off a hat trick with healthy, quick, and delicious food. If you’re uncompromising about what you put in your body (but short on time), this is the meal kit for you.

Choose from dietitian-approved plans like Paleo, Lean & Clean, Gluten-Free, Vegan, and more — all ready in 30 minutes or less. Did we mention they deliver wine?
