I've tried a few different meal delivery services in the Bay Area and Alab is by far my favorite. The meals are consistently very high quality and I haven't seen a repeat item on the menu since I signed up a few months ago. The meals can be personalized for you based on your dietary preferences as well. My coworkers are jealous of the meals that I bring to work every day. I would highly recommend checking out Alab SF if you are looking for a local meal delivery service!

Most sustainable, yet reasonably-priced, healthy meal delivery service in the Bay Area (and we've tried like 7 others). They deliver in glass containers, which is fantastic as it doesn't generate any trash - they pick up the glass in the next delivery so it stays in the cycle. The food is very tasty, and tastes like home-made. Healthy combinations of macros. The salad dressings are very original and exceptional. The owner is very pleasant to deal with.
The online ordering process is a bit complicated, since if you want addons you have to provide weekly salad selections as comments to the order (and need to use the back button in to get back to the ordering section from the checkout, as you cannot select multiple addons simultaneously), but the food quality makes up for it.
I like that it doesn't require a subscription, so you can easily skip a week if you're out of town or want to cook for a week, without having to remember to skip a week, like with some other places.
Would recommend!

Had my first delivery arrive and the whole process was easy & convenient. The food arrives in a nice bag, food is neatly packed into Glassware and clearly labeled. I like that the idea is to minimize one-time packaging, hence the Glassware 👏🏼.
The food is delicious and appetizing. Quantity is sufficient. There are about 4-5 full meals with my food plan (comes out to about $20-$25/meal). Honestly that’s great in comparison for when I eat out or if I buy food and prep myself and yea at times my produce goes bad or my cooking option isn’t as healthy.
You can see how much effort went into the chosen quality of ingredients and preparation of meals. The food looked appetizing and the taste of the food - delicious, healthy, & satisfying. The meal options are diverse and the meal plan has many inclusions. My problem is being able to pick between what meal to choose from for the next week, because they all look really good and I want to try them all.
Customer service from Mikki was awesome, super kind guy, thank you for having this!
This is everything I’m looking for when it comes to meal delivery: healthy, organic, carbon-footprint friendly; convenient, delicious, quality = quantity. Pleasantly surprised with my first arrival of food from Alab SF.
I highly recommend Alab SF!

It's like having a private chef. Insane rotation of menus with all kinds of variety. Mikki uses the freshest ingredients-- it's the healthiest meal prep you can get while also being the tastiest.
I am a busy person that has tried to save time in the kitchen with take-outs and meal kits, but these options never satisfied my cravings for nutritious homemade meals. I’m so lucky to have found Mikki at Alab. In the past month, I feel like I’ve had a personal chef whipping up fine-dining quality food in the comfort of my home. Every meals from Mikki has been fresh, flavorful, plant-centric and nutrient-dense. I love that the ingredients are organic, seasonal and sustainable. I feel nourished and am always looking forward to the next delivery from Mikki.

Mikki is wonderful. He’s thoughtful and I knew it was a fit when we first chatted. His meal delivery service was exactly what my family needed. The meals are diverse, healthy, and most of all delicious!! Love the extras that come each week! The date truffles brought so much joy 😊 Ordering and delivery is so easy. And everything is earth friendly!!

I have been using Alab SF for a weekly meal for the past 2 months. I've been searching for a while for a meal service that a) uses delicious organic ingredients, b) can cater to a gluten free diet, and c) uses sustainable packaging. Alab checks all the boxes. Every week I look forward to selecting a yummy organic meal and equally looking forward to the Tue delivery. For a busy family, having this option has really helped us. Mikki is a great chef and has been very responsive. Highly recommended!
