“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“

“rice pudding, cookies, borek,“

“Pinx catered an event I attended last night and the food was amazing. I kept eating to see if I could attempt to make like them especially after found out they only cater. Everything was wonderful: Hot chicken sandwich sliders, Goda Mac n Cheese, Sweet Potatoe pie, Meatballs, Delicious Crab cakes. My daughter doesn't eat sweet potatoe pie. Took some home and she ate it and loved it! I'm trying to figure out how can have them cater an event for me so I can taste again. Not only was food delicious, presentation was very nicely done and staff were extremely professional.“

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

“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!“

“Jason is a fantastic chef and a great guy. He was extremely professional and had great communication leading up to the event. Everyone at the party could not stop talking about how good the garlic shrimp and the paella were. Could not recommend more highly.“

“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.“

“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! �“

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

“The food and service were amazing! We want to especially thank the server that served us today. He went above and beyond to answer our questions and share more about the Burmese food culture and the right pronunciation of the dishes. We tried the tea leaf salad, white peas palata, and the Shwe Taung noodles with tofu, and the flavors were so different and so delicious! This was my first time trying Burmese food and it will not be my last.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian dishes were clearly labeled and absolutely delicious!“

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

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

“I ordered the Taco Bar Lunch for 25 people and the whole experience could not have been smoother! The delivery was right on time and the food was EXCELLENT! Several of my guests commented on the food - it was delicious! I've told them all about Early Bird Tacos and how easy it was to order. Thanks so much for a nice experience because, at first, I was nervous about ordering online, but I'll do it again with Early Bird Tacos! ????“

“Great food and great service.“

“My family and I really enjoyed the quesabirrias and carne asada sopes.
The customer service seemed rushed but otherwise attentive.
The location is nice but there's poor accessible parking and this is a problem for tourists.
We would eat here again.“

“I used Donna for a big birthday bash dinner party (10 people). Everything was excellent! All went according to plan, and having Kurt over to cook the fish and serve made it so elegant. Everyone loved it and I plan on using Donna for future events!“

“I had a fantastic experience with Dennis and the team from Liberation Foods. They catered my 120 person wedding and I could not have been happier with the food and the service that Dennis and his team provided. I would 100% recommend them and will personally use them again in the future. Dennis was highly communicative and extremely reliable. He responded to my emails and questions quickly which really stood out from many of the other vendors I was working with on the wedding who were much less responsive. The food was delicious, and I got a lot of comments from my guests (many of whom are foodies) on just how good the food was. The highlights of the menu were the butternut squash ravioli (possibly one of the top 10 dishes I have ever eaten), the prime rib carving station, the garlic mashed potatoes, and all the passed appetizers (we had mini wellingtons, short rib crostinis, and stuffed mushrooms). Dennis' food is full of flavor and really well presented. Even the simple garden salad had a tasty twist, with pickled onions and a vibrant vinaigrette. My only regrets were 1) the horseradish accompanying the prime rib was much too strong, and 2) the stuffed chicken breast came out a bit dry - hard to do that type of a dish at such high volume. But overall we loved everything, the service was great, and I felt it was very reasonably priced compared to other caterers that I had looked at.“

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

“Just had my daughter's first birthday and our dishes were a hit. Chef Henry was great at communicating from start to finish and i can't wait to try more of his menu items in the future. We had 50+ guests and there was plenty of food to go around with leftovers at the end which is always an added bonus. The variety of apps, entrees, and desserts available blew me away and eventually I settled on a mix of veggie and meat dishes for the party. My favorite dishes were the brisket sliders and the garlic noodles. I ate everything so it was hard to pick a favorite. My guests were pleased with the selection and it made for a perfect birthday celebration. I want to plan another event soon just so I can try more of Henry's creations! Highly recommend especially for large group events.“

“I hired Jasmine Catering for a baby naming party back in September. I could not be happier with the service! From start to finish, Oded was extremely responsive and accommodating to my special dietary requests, planning the logistics, working with my timing and providing advice. On the day of the party the food exceeded my expectations, my guests did not stop commenting on the food quality and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. The lead server is absolutely charming, and the entire staff looked happy and friendly to my guests. At the end of the night they packed the leftovers for us, and we enjoyed them for a few days following the party.

Over all this was an excellent decision and I highly recommend jasmine catering“

“There café is a hidden gem on the old naval base it just got voted best scones on the planet! No the sola... ahh, the universe, best scones in the entire universe!!!“

“I had the Herbed Goat Cheese and my son had a latke! They were both so delicious!!“

“Really nice and small cafe shop in an office building. Run by an older Asian couple who are extremely friendly and basically feel like family.The food is all handmade fresh and relatively cheap. I always go for breakfast or the amazingly priced quality burger. I think it’s the cheeseburger that’s under 7$.They have lots of other stuff like gum cough drops, ice cream fridge and a big drink fridge.Highly suggest checking it out if you work nearby, it’s out of the way though so maybe this review is for those who are in the surrounding buildings.

Parking: Can park on the opposite side lot. Or street parking across.

Kid-friendliness: Nice to all ages. Lots of treats.

Wheelchair accessibility: From sidewalk you can get in easily.“

“A Must Company to Untilize“

“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.“

“I've had the pleasure of enjoying Margaret's catering on many occasions now, and it's always clear how she prioritizes fresh, delicious ingredients and makes a meal that's incredibly tasty and healthy. With a repertoire of cuisines from around the world, you really can't go wrong hiring The Vegetarian Gourmet for your next occasion- she really will make you look good!“

“great hosts, friendly atmosphere, yummy food“

“Amazing flavors and presentation, efficient service. But letting entitled, shameless patrons bring dogs in the restaurant to whine and yap and disturb diners?? Management needs to train staff to stand up to the Karens, bounce dogs, and avoid heath code violations.“

“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!“

“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.“

“All of their meals are delicious and fresh! I've ordered several times and each time was consistently good. Very impressed with Dove Catering.“

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

“I highly recommend Mashallah Halal if you are looking for quality Lamb Curry✌🏾“

“The best looking/quality and most affordable catering company in the Bay Area. They’ve hosted some of our most important events for 3 generations. Thank you for making my daughter’s graduation party amazing, everyone loved the food. 2-3 platters are huge and feed 20-40 people, 30-50 if you get 4-5. #1 hit was that smoked salmon tea sandwiches… soooo good!“

“We’ve got two pour over - Ethiopia and Rwanda. Both had a slightly acidic taste and delicious! The pastry, cinnamon bun, was so good. Soft and not overly sweet. Very tasty. It felt like European-style bread. Despite only two seats available, we still enjoyed our coffee on site. Staff was very friendly.“

“Brian Catered a luncheon I had for the Oakland women’s rowing club. Serving 36 women, six of them being vegan, he crafter the absolute Perfect menu. Ceviche, sliders, a berry salad, mushroom empanadas as well as pulled pork, shrimp skewers, and a beautiful vegetable medley. Casual, yet elegantly displayed, the flavor of each dish was outstanding. I can hardly wait for his Montclair location to open. I couldn’t recommend Cafe 15 more adamantly.“

“The food is DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!“

“We hired Thai Rice Spoon Catering to provide 2 meals during a 4-day family/friends gathering, and it has been a wonderful experience. In the time leading to the event, communication with Tumi has been prompt, and she has been very helpful in providing suggestions on the types of dishes and amounts to order, especially in the setting of some of the guests' dietary restrictions. Tumi has also been very understanding in suggesting different options on how to stay within budget.

Regarding the food delivery, it was delivered early and displayed beautifully with the chafing dishes and sterno fuel. We were then given instructions on how to serve them.

The food itself was delicious and a favorite of many of the guests. Overall, we would definitely hire Thai Rice Spoon Catering again in the future if the need arises. Highly recommend!“

“Crumble & Whisk was amazing to work with and has DELICIOUS and AMAZING cheesecakes!!! ORDER FROM THEM NOW! I live in Florida and my best friend lives in Oakland, California. Every year I buy him a cheesecake for his birthday since we've known each other. The owner/chef Charles Farrier was amazing to work with and super accomodating! I was able to order and get the Cheesecake delivered to my friend as a surprise for his Birthday. I called several places in Oakland, California and the surrounding area trying to get him a cheesecake for his birthday and Charles was the only one willing to make it happen. My best friend was so surprised by it. My friend was so surprised by how big thick and heavy the cheesecake was. He said it was one of the most creamiest, thick, and mouth watering cheesecake he has ever tasted before. And I have bought him a cheesecake for years from many different places. I can't wait to go visit him in California to try one of Charles cheesecakes. I will be ordering him cheesecake from Charles and Crumble & Whisk exclusively moving forward! I also saw that they are a black owned business which is amazing. #SupportBlackBusiness“

“Great food and friendly people!!“

“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!“

“The La Mediterranee Catering team did a stellar job for our big family event. They were very responsive to pre-event questions and order changes, as our guest count increased. The food was delicious and received compliments from our guests. The servers were professional and did a nice job with set-up and take-down. Thank you, La Med! We have loved your food for decades and you helped make our event very special.“

“A standard diner experience - their pancakes are very yummy but the waffles tastes like grease! The breakfast toast (Calabrian chili plus corn cheese) is so delicious. The soft scrambles eggs are cooked with butter so that's always a plus!“

“I'm just sad that they are closing! will miss walking in there getting a sandwich!“

“The pizza was oddly delicious. The ginger molasses cookies were a great dessert snack I enjoy later during the day with coffee. Service was above what I've seen lately. Very helpful, cheerful smile and patient to my many questions. Will be coming back for more.“

“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!“
