36 Best Caterers in Oakland

“Love this little shop! So convenient and they always have fun seasonal flavors like basil syrup. I normally do some sort of matcha and theirs is one of the best in the area. Made properly and with customizable sweetness. The baristas here are always super friendly and quick as well!“

“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!“

“food was excellent..service was great...if u want excellent authentic Italian food...this is the place for you ..“

“Bueno, bonito, y vegano. It was awesome. The fried tofu is crisp and has a great texture that's flakier than most. Crispy and flavorful. The nachos were really satisfying and rich in textures and flavors. Mac was also amazing. I have seen so many amazing vegan restaurants die off because it's just not a popular diet, so i totally get why it's only available Saturdays, but wow do I wish it was a mainstay“

“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.“

“Amazing I love it here so good“

“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.“

“Margaret catered a vegan-only meal for our Buddhist meditation group gathering in Pleasant Hill, serving around 40 people, and it was absolutely perfect. She was very mindful of our dietary needs and created a calming, nourishing menu that included Japanese and Asian-inspired dishes like miso-glazed vegetables, sesame noodles, marinated tofu, brown rice, and fresh fruit. The food supported the tone of our retreat and was beautifully presented without being flashy. Many attendees commented on how grounded and satisfied they felt afterward. Margaret truly understands intentional, plant-based catering.“

“I met a friend for lunch who had picked this restaurant because he had passed it many times taking his son to school. The food was tasty and seasoned, which I find rare when restaurants try to cook southern dishes here in the Bay Area. I had the fried catfish, while my friend had a combo plate. We shared greens, yams and mac-n-cheese. Come and enjoy the relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Reminds me of an Ole Country Juke Joint! Get there early because the parking lot fills up fast! You might even see Roderick himself!“

“We worked with RDCE for a multi-course private dinner to celebrate a milestone birthday in Sonoma. We were blown away with the amazing food but also the top-notch service and attention to detail. Planning and preparation was seamless even with dietary restrictions and some last minute requests. Across the board, we had rave reviews from our guests. Robert and staff made this event incredibly special and I would highly recommend them to anyone!“

“Great food and great service.“

“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! �“

“Best corporate event planners ever. Very organized and have a keen eye for detail. Their food is super delicious and their presentation is extraordinarily“

“I had to organize a 50th Anniversary celebration for the contruction company I work for. We had 60+ guests attending a cocktail party at our office. The food was amazing, extremely good quality, fresh, delicious and the presentation was top notch! Our guests were making comments on how good the food was. The price for the amount of food we got for 60+ guest was just the right price. Great service, friendly staff and every detail was taken care of. I will order from Market Hall catering every time I possibly can! =)“

“Everything about this place is a 5“

“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!“

“That Collard Green Salad made w/ ginger and a spicy seed brittle is 1) vegan, 2) gluten free and SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!“

“t The food is fantastic. Especially easy to grab and go after work. Try a couple entrees to share. Yummy.“

“Daniella is a gracious and skilled chef, and was very accommodating to my group's needs - a weekend yoga retreat. Everyone loved her food, which was always ready on time, and presented beautifully. Highly recommended!!“

“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!!!“

“Amazing! Simply the best taco truck the whole bay area. I don’t go anywhere else. Best food for my buck!“

“I had the pleasure of performing a book signing at this welcoming Caribbean Restaurant & Bakery this past weekend. I was blown away by the artistic wall murals, the outdoor decorations and seating opportunities, the inflow of people of diverse backgrounds that came to satisfy their palette with the mouth-watering taste of Caribbean cuisine and tantalizing delicacies. I applaud Chef Ann and her Team for an outstanding job of keeping the Caribbean culture alive in this very quaint section of Oakland California.“

“Just had some delicious Blocko Tacos! Mmmm... so good! Nice blend of flavors and textures. The cheese sauce has a nice bite to it. The tortilla is nice and soft, but doesn't fall apart. We highly recommend this delicious treat! Don't be shy, have yours with everything on them. We did! You won't be sorry!🌮 Uncle Curtis and Auntie Jan ♥️“

“I got the smoothie, a side of steamed veggies and a tofu bowl and not only were all three clearly made with high quality, organic ingredients, but they were absolutely delicious. 10/10. But what impressed me even more than the food tonight was the thoughtfulness of the gentleman working. They closed at 11:30 pm (bless them for being the only vegan, organic food in the area open that late) and was cutting it close to get there before closing time. When I arrived 1 or 2 minutes after 11:30, I was worried that I had missed my opportunity and screwed up, but no - a thoughtful young man was literally standing in front of the restaurant with my order, waiting for me. He definitely didn’t have to do that - service is way above and beyond - 20/10! That wonderful young man saved me after I hadn’t eaten all day and couldn’t find anything vegan open late, I’m so grateful. <3

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and organic to boot!

Dietary restrictions: Tons of amazing gluten free, vegan, organic options.“
