Office Tour: Foodzie
San Francisco-based startup Foodzie sells delicious, artisan-grown food items.
Their founders, Nik Bauman (25), Emily Olson (24), and Rob LaFave (26), were just named best young tech entrepreneurs for 2009 in BusinessWeek.
This week, they invited me over for a grilled cheese tasting, and I was amazed at how comfortable their space was to live, work, and even cook and eat in.
Their third-floor SOMA loft space has quite a sweet space, discretely patrolled by Bentley, the Foodzie guard dog:
The main entrance is lit up, with earth-toned colored floors:
Shelves are adequately stocked with goodies:
The main living/working area is wide open, with plenty of room for a conference table, or a slice and dice station:
One open cube:
The kitchen makes you feel right at home (especially when tomato soup is cooking):
Literal loft space (can you spot the a Guitar Hero axe?):

Foodzie earned funding late last year, and I see a bright future for them, even in this bleek financial crisis we are currently living through.
The space is comfy, and these guys know what they are doing. Check out Foodzie if you want to try some really good-quality treats, and follow them on Twitter.
