50 Best Caterers near Emeryville

“Ordered from Paula LeDuc at Home on two different occasions for special quarantine date nights with my husband. Both times the experience, from pick-up with a surprise amuse-bouche to dessert, was wonderful. The meals are delicious and incredibly easy to assemble. It made our celebrations during quarantine feel special. Thank you“

“ACT Catering was an absolute game-changer for the Berkeley Culture Connect Conference. From start to finish, their team went above and beyond to ensure our event was seamless, professional, and truly successful.
They provided full-service catering and handled so much more than just the food — including detailed room set up and breakdown — while supporting us across multiple rooms throughout the conference. On top of that, their team created a beautiful ambiance with thoughtful decorations and presentation that truly elevated the experience for our guests. Kristine, Brie, Eliana, and the rest of the ACT team were a true pleasure to work with. Their professionalism, positive energy, and attention to detail made a huge difference, especially across two long event days.

ACT also did an incredible job accommodating a wide range of dietary restrictions. They were extremely thoughtful and proactive, and even prepared special meals for attendees with more specific dietary needs — something that can be difficult to execute at a large conference, but they handled it flawlessly.

In addition to catering the full conference, they also supported our reception and our speaker/sponsor dinner, bringing the same level of care, quality, and upbeat attitude throughout every part of the program.

We truly couldn’t recommend ACT Catering more highly. Their team is always a pleasure to work with, and we could not recommend a better catering company.“

“Great Experience with Early Bird Tacos! I needed to set up a pretty last minute breakfast for our team of 23 employees. When sending in an inquiry, through their website, to see if they could cater our breakfast, they responded very quickly and were able to accommodate our needs. Their online ordering system was quick and easy to put an order in. Day of the breakfast They showed up right on time at 7am. The delivery guy was super nice. And then the food was REALLY good! WE ordered their breakfast taco buffet. Everything was super flavorful, the sauces and guacamole were delicious. I highly recommend. Thanks Early Bird Tacos!“

“I am glad that they are located in Montclair. They have a clean store with good selection of items. Great customer service!“

“Liberation foods catered my mom‘s 100th birthday party for over 100 guests - The food was a delicious array of Middle Eastern appetizers presented beautifully. The staff was professional, punctual, and lovely to work with. Multiple guests asked for the name of the catering company!“

“Pinx was easy to work with, professional, reliable, food was tasty, and table presentations were lovely.“

“On my way to the Bayfair farmer’s market I saw a guy bbq out on the sidewalk today. After the market, I decided to stop and long behold I found this place! 😄. had the delicious “Thank Que bowl and lumpia”. So fresh, tasty and delicious! I will be back.....thank u Chef Rene!“

“Marshmallow fluff;) Loved the Milkbomb sandwich! Will definitely go again;)“

“I recently had Jason cook for my 40th birthday backyard/pool party for ~18 adults and he was phenomenal! Not only are his paellas and tapas incredibly tasty, he is also an all around great person. We had the paella Valencia moderna and the vegetarian paella and both were excellent, even better than the paellas I have had in Spain. My friends/family are still raving about his food! The presentation of everything was very impressive and really elevated the already exceptional flavors of all the food. The booking process was also seamless, Jason is an excellent communicator and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Chef Jason and his paella for your next special gathering! Thank you again Jason! :)“

“Long time customer here. The flavors are always on-point, yum! Highly recommend Shwe Taung Noodles, the curry chicken is rich, a little sweet, and perfectly balanced with all the seasonings and spices. Samusa Salad is also an easy choice with spot-on flavors all the fixings. The service is top-notch, probably because the owner is very involved in how it runs. Simply fantastic!“

“Simply the best Singaporean Food you can find outside of Singapore! Authentic flavors and fresh ingredients at reasonable prices. What more could you want?!“

“The food is DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Thai Rice Spoon did an amazing job catering my party in Woodside. The food was delicious, authentic and the servers were friendly. The owner Tumi was very helpful in helping me figure out a menu to cater to different dietary restrictions. Highly recommend!“

“This place is amazing, I love the tuna salad!! Horchata coffee is delicious 🤤, great customer service, we will definitely be coming back for more!!“

“Great little vegan Mexican popup in the back patio of 51&Tel. Authentic flavor and food came fast! My non-vegan partner was also impressed with how good it was! I got the Nachos and was so glad I did!! Excited to come back to try more of the items out!“

“This may be the best Mexican burrito I've ever had, got the chorizo one! (I'm usually not super happy with Mexican food because I live in NC, but am from NM. Often Mexican food tends to be dry compared to New Mexican which swims in sauce. It actually may be difficult to find authentic Mexican food in NM because fusion restaurants are the norm (a Mexican place that doesn't offer chile).) Visiting SF - where I briefly lived years ago - I knew I had to take advantage of the good Latin American options. We tried going to Breakfast Little but their power was out, unfortunately. Al Carojo across the street just started experiencing power problems, too. This was our third choice, but it might have been my first, if I had first found the listing. It was the authentic experience I was hoping for. My partner had the breakfast plate with chorizo and his was fantastic also. Too bad we live so far away.“

“A great experience from beginning to end, Salt and Honey made my teeny Thanksgiving dinner a success with their amazing main course. Smelled and tasted great! Would use again.“

“AMAZING. Loved the service and coffee. I ordered the Sampaguita latte with whole milk and it was the perfect blend of not too sweet, not too bitter, and balanced coffee-milk ratio. I find a lot of lattes to be too light on the espresso but they have nailed it. My latte was fragrant and bright with almost chocolatey notes after the initial floral scent.“

“Ramni is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and besides that his food the very delicious from the potato latkes and to all the knishes you’ll never be disappointed. Also his 5 spice ketchup is the best one taste and you’ll want more.“

“Best crepes in SF! They do catering too:)“

“Everything about this place, from the ownership to the food to the ambience to the friendly staff, is 5-star. I highly recommend Cafe 15 ;-)“

“Top-Notch! 100% Professional!!! I love working with @SFCANDYBARBUFFET“

“Donna is a real gem! I had to put together an event for 50 people with short notice and Donna took on the challenge. The food was absolutely delicious and received rave reviews from my guests. Fresh, flavorful and super tasty! I have already booked Donna for another event and I am looking forward to it already.“

“The chicken & fish sandwich was perfect. Just what I needed. I can’t wait to go back“

“Nicole and Peter provided a delicious brunch for our guests at our garden. Nicole was a delight to work with and her service is amazing. We hope to work with them again in the future.“

“Margaret Riesen at The Vegetarian Gourmet offers exceptional plant-based catering services for all kinds of events, including weddings, corporate functions, retreats, and family gatherings. The dedication to crafting fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented dishes ensures a memorable experience for both hosts and guests. If you’re planning an event and want hassle-free coordination paired with outstanding food, The Vegetarian Gourmet is an excellent choice!“

“Food was pretty good. The syrup was the best. Drawn and kept warm so the drizzle on the toast and souffle was delightful. The place is super busy. I had to wait sometime for the syrup because I got my souffle (takes longer than other food to prepare they warned ahead of time) before the syrup came.“

“Wonderful experience with the Revel meal delivery! The food was DELICIOUS and prepared perfectly. The whole family (including 5 kids) enjoyed it! The menu was creative and I could customize our order - double orders of protein and single orders of vegetables. They provided a touchless delivery with all of the items clearly labeled with ingredients (in case someone in your house is dealing with allergies) and clear instructions on how to finish the preparation. And to top it off, not only was the delivery on time, they texted me with a 20-minute heads up text so I would know exactly when my delivery would be on my door stop. For me, I was grateful for that extra effort so our food didn’t sit out in the sun.“

“We love working with Fork & Spoon great food and great service !“

“Fun Staff, Great experience and the recipes were super tasty“

“OMG! The Chicken Mole dinner was off the hook! So flavourful tender and juicy....the mole sauce was perfect! Highly recommended. I can't wait to try the meat loaf! 😋“

“Burke & Black served it up for us at our event. We had unique, rich, and amazing charcuterie boards for our Black & Brown Founders Fundraiser. I was hosting the event and when I finally got a chance to eat, everyone was actively grazing over the options and trying everything. I was feeling impatient about not being able to get to the food, but happy to see everyone enjoying it. Nicole is amazing and she really picked some unique varieties that come together so well. Based off our experience at our fundraiser event, I highly recommend her.“

“Oded and the wonderful staff at Jasmine Catering brought our dream wedding menu to life, and at an unbeatable price! We had a tighter budget than some, so finding full service catering was a challenge, but Jasmine was everything we needed without all the frills, add-ons, and overhead other caterers include. Oded was responsive during the planning process, despite our very long email chains with lots of detailed questions. Our venue was Fern Cottage in El Sobrante, which required a lot of DIY and figuring things out ourselves. Jasmine Catering was easy to work with through an otherwise challenging planning process, and their day-of process was streamlined and didn't get in our way, even though it was a small venue and kitchen. We did a custom menu including their secret recipe falafel and a vegan version of kofta kebab. Everything was delicious, cooked and served beautifully, and our guests liked it just as much as we did. Everything came out exactly on time and where/how we wanted it to be served. Doing a budget, DIY wedding was stressful enough, and it was such a relief to know everything on the catering side of things was handled and running smoothly!“

“I had an amazing experience with Crumble & Whisk! They catered a community event for me during the holiday season, and I can't wait to use them again! This Black-owned bakery offers the most delicious, fresh-baked treats with a perfect balance of flavor and texture. From the buttery, flaky pastries to the rich, moist cakes, every bite is a delight. The staff is warm and welcoming, making you feel like family from the moment you walk in. Their commitment to quality and community is truly inspiring. Charles is a master at his craft, and both his catering and baking will elevate anyone's event to the highest standard.“

“Culinary Excellence was fabulous to work with when planning our 40th year Anniversary Gala. Jessica, Chris, and their entire bar and serving team were professional, very flexible, accommodating, kind, and easy to work with. Jessica and Chris were able to predict and fullfill needs we had at the last minute as they cropped up, without hesitation. The food, from the passed appetizers like the filo and chicken skewers, beautiful, light, and tasty salad, to their chicken breast, sweet potato, and brussel sprouts dish (as well as the yummy risotto) were delectable! Did I mention the gorgeous floral arrangements Jessica and her team created from pictures we sent her and which were visually stimulating - WOW! Thank you so much- you all helped make our special occasion memorable and remarkable! We had a blast working with you guys and look forward to working with you in the future! �“

“We worked with Jaclyn and Lisa for our wedding and were so pleased with the results. We had to relocate our wedding at the last-minute due to the Napa/Sonoma fires and their team stepped up big-time to recreate the menu we already had from a different caterer. The beef shortribs were fantastic, as was the house charcuterie -- the guests couldn't get enough! The service staff was wonderful too -- you'd never know this hadn't been a year+ in the making! Thank you to the wonderful people at WoA who made our food dreams come true!“

“We use BoxiChef Catering for our weekly employee lunches and we love the meals!The delivery staff is on time and friendly. The portion sizes are generous and lots of variety on mains and sides. If you are looking for weekly corporate catering, I recommend BoxiChef highly!! Connie Carvalho, Perforce site-lead Alameda, CA“

“Mama Lamees contributed absolutely delicious food for a very important event last week at San Francisco Supervisor Hillary Ronen's Office in City Hall. The scrumptious Middle Eastern food was amazing and delicious. Everyone at the event loved all of the offerings, especially the EJJA : Cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, onions & garlic fritters. We recommend Mama Lamees' catering to everyone, no matter what the occasion.“

“Having the most delicious crepe from from crepe-madame! It’s called the ratatouille! And also they made it vegan for me!! ❤️😋“

“I picked up a special order 3 speed bowinkle gangly wrench with all the factory attachments at the tool shop, and asked the guy there if the food next door, at Sol Taqueria was good.
Any good, he yells..It's about the best in Crazy Town, just ask anyone!
Well, since I was parked right in front of the joint, and had a great recommendation, I blasted in and had the most amazing pork tacos ever, but it was the refried beans that were out of bounds! They were extremely flavorful, creamy, and as smooth as smooth can get. Sol Taqueria is a 5 star experience! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“I'm from Italy (have lived in Philadelphia for 20 years), and I was in Alameda in 2015 for a friend's wedding. I happened upon this place, and what a joy! Not only is the owner (who ended up at our table, where we had a lovely conversation) Livornese (I'm from Tirrenia, a province of Pisa), but the food was incredible, AND he knew a number of people that I knew! It's been five years, and I really want to go back some day. BOIA! CHE GIOIA!“

“I can not say better things about Trumpet Vine Catering! We used them for our wedding and then a subsequent 50th Anniversary party we threw for my parents. I highly recommend them and will use them for any future events we plan!“
