Fill the fridge. Stock the freezer. Restock the pantry.
Tamales by the dozen. Pupusas by the tray. Cupcakes for Saturday. Porch Pantry is where the cooks on your block stock the neighborhood — handmade, county-permitted, picked up on the way home.
— order ahead · most batches need 1–3 days · pay the cook directly —
We're not a dinner app. We're a hand-stocked specialty shelf for the things worth ordering by the dozen, the tray, the half-sheet.
Pantry food takes time to make — so you order ahead, not on the way home from the gym.
See who's stocking the pantry this weekend. Most cooks need 1–3 days notice — just enough time to soak the masa, knead the dough, prep the trays.
Each batch closes for orders before the cook starts cooking. A live countdown shows how long you have. Pay your cook directly via Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, or cash — Porch Pantry never touches the money.
Swing by the cook's home kitchen at your pickup window. Half tonight, half in the freezer for a Tuesday in three weeks when nothing in your fridge sounds good.
Every cook is permitted by the county and inspected under California's MEHKO program. You get the food. We handle the legal.
Think weekly stock-up — not tonight's dinner. Think birthday party — not Tuesday.
Cakes for Saturday's birthday. A tray of empanadas for game night. Food that impresses without you standing over the stove.
Two dozen tamales lasts a month. A bag of dumplings makes six dinners. Real food, portioned, waiting for you on a Tuesday.
New parents, new home, sick friend. A warm tray of food from a real person says more than delivery ever could.
The pupusas your grandma made. The kolaches only that one bakery gets right. Specialty stuff nobody near you sells.
You've been perfecting one thing for decades. We help you get permitted, set your batch sizes and lead times, and take orders — so the work you were already doing starts paying you.
