"Kuluntu is a bakery making some of the city’s great pastries, loaves of bread, custom cakes, and all the goodies — but it’s also a place with a mission. Its operation is geared towards dismantling the patriarchy, centering marginalized voices, and building community. Founder Stephanie Leichtle-Chalklen uses her store to teach, host community events and bakes, and sources her ingredients with sustainability in mind. Because food can both taste and feel good." - Courtney E. Smith, Rachel Pinn
