7 Women Owned Businesses We Love
It’s International Women’s Day, and what better way to celebrate than supporting some of our favorite women owned businesses! While there are tons of women owned businesses out there, we’ve chosen these 7 for a few reasons. First, they’re owned by amazing women in our local community – several even work out of our shared kitchen space! Second, they have great products, plain and simple. And third, they’re all working to help people, solve problems, and make their community a better place. Read more about each business below!
Tubby’s Taste
Tubby’s Taste makes vegan cookies inspired by founder Danielle Tubb’s Jamaican American heritage. With flavors like Caribbean Punch, Taste of Paradise, and Island Spice, these cookies are bursting with tropical flavors and super satisfying. And you’d never guess they were vegan.
Order on their website or find them at any one of their retail locations.
Plenty Goods
Plenty Goods offers everything from delivery salads, bowls (and more), to personal chef services, all focused on providing nutritious and delicious holistic foods. They even have a cafe opening up in Logan Square, so you can purchase ready to go snacks any time!
Order on their website and stay tuned for the cafe opening Spring 2023!
UPDATE (MAY 2024): Due to some unfortunate actions of ownership, we can no longer endorse Plenty Goods. We support women all year, but we won’t support anyone who creates hostile work environments and doesn’t pay their employees. We’re leaving this in the article for transparency, but are no longer patronizing or supporting this business.
Funeral Potatoes
Funeral Potatoes is a virtual restaurant grown out of the COVID19 pandemic into a thriving meal delivery system. They offer a weekly menu of midwestern inspired comfort food, like their namesake.
Their menu drops weekly on their instagram, and they do pop up from time to time at local events as well.
Lit by Lex Co
Lit By Lex makes incredible, musically inspired candles with a playlist for each scent. They have a wide range of scents to choose from and are perfect for a self care evening.
Find them on their website or their storefront in Palmer Square!
Lincoln Cafe and Market
Lincoln Cafe and Market was opened by our friend Mary from Glow Superfoods, and serves coffee beverages and tasty bites with a vegetarian and vegan focused menu. They also offer a variety of foods from local businesses. Plus, stay tuned to see our blends there!

Carolyn’s Krisps
Carolyn’s Krisps is the product of two incredible women – Carolyn, who invented the krisps, and her grand daughter Amie, who runs the company and makes these seriously addictive snacks, plus all thinks krisp related (like bark, which is amazing). And, they’re plantbased!
Find them online or at any of their retail locations!
Peachy Keane Art
Laya at Peachy Keane Art makes the sweetest illustrations of pets and wildlife, available in prints, stickers, and more on her Etsy! She’s been an avid fan of us since we met her at a farmer’s market, and we love her work!
