“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.“

“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! �“

“Gretta, Lauren and team were truly incredible for our wedding in June in Piedmont. They kept excellent track of many details and went above and beyond on the day of to make things truly perfect. We had an Indian- Western fusion wedding and everyone commented on not only how incredible the food was (multiple guests said that the lamb was the best they’d ever had) but also how beautifully the food reflected both South Indian and California/Western cultures. We could not be happier with how it turned out. At every step of the way Gretta and Lauren were quick to respond, flexible, understanding, and creative, they and made the planning streamlined and easy. I highly recommend going with Jessica Lasky- it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!“

“We hosted a baby shower for 65 people, and Ben was incredibly responsive and attentive throughout the whole process. He made setup and pickup so easy — we felt completely taken care of.

The food was fantastic — friends were still raving about it weeks later! We really appreciated the variety of options for different diets: salmon, fried tofu, and fried chicken. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and so well-prepared. And I also loved the biscuits: so flaky and buttery.

The portions were generous without being too much– we had just the right amount of leftovers, which speaks to both how good the food was and how well Ben calibrated the number of guests.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — highly recommend Sunnyside Catering!“

“We had Chef Aaron cater a birthday party at our house with about 50 guests and it was an incredible experience. From the start, he was professional, friendly and easy to communicate with. Prices were very reasonable, and the food is unbelievably delicious. He was punctual, set up a buffet for the party and cleaned up after. Our guests were obsessed with the bbq tacos, and many got like 4 plates bc they loved it so much. Veg options were available for my vegetarian friends too. MexiQ will be my go-to for any future parties. Thank you Chef!!!“
