Crystal Springs Catering is amazing. Their selection of options for the party we had last weekend was delicious, well presented and they truly go above and beyond! We celebrated a birthday event for about 70 people, and they set everything up, maintained the hot stations, made sure we had plenty to refill with throughout the evening. If you're planning an event, and need catering please reach out to CSC!

Working with Bob was a pleasure! I had a caterer cancel on me due to illness 5 days before my event. Bob was able to provide delicious food and a service with 5 days notice and was a complete live saver. His staff was professional and friendly and I couldn't have been more pleased with how it all turned out. Thank you!!

Sharon was so helpful in helping me arrange a luncheon for my mother's celebration of life. I live out of town and she coordinated everything for me, from the delicious food and wine to the gorgeous flowers from Blooming Vase in Burlingame. She even arranged for Dixieland Jazz at the graveside! Mom and Dad were cutting a rug just like they used to! The entire CSC team was very professional and a delight to work with. They made the day memorable.

We had crystal springs catering cater our wedding, and they were outstanding to work with. Not only are Bob and Sharon thoughtful, kind people, but their food was delicious and beautifully served. We had guests coming up to us during the wedding, asking for their contact information. Thank you Crystal Springs Catering for making our wedding a hit!

"Trust me Dennis, you start with the food." said my experienced meeting planner fifteen years ago when I was leading my first conference. The Wife was about to cross her half century milestone birthday during a global pandemic. How the hell can you have a party worthy of that event when you don't even know if anything will be open? You start with the food. I found Crystal Springs Catering on Yelp a couple of months ago. The search on its own was a challenge because I had very specific requirements. I wanted an English Tea for my Anglophile wife, and as we had the authentic version at The Dorchester Hotel in London, the standards were rather high. There were a few places that had the tea, but not the capacity. Other services couldn't do the tea with the tiers and sandwiches. I called Bob and in the first five minutes of the conversation he had discussed the tiers, sandwiches, petit fours, scones, lemon curd, and in my head I let out a big 'Whew!' because I knew I just got this ball rolling. A few more discussions about how to serve without infecting the guests, at a price that was within industry norms, and I let him know that no matter what, I had found the food. The venue search was a journey. Bob had a lot of ideas and experiences in the region. He did site visits while I wasn't able to attend because I was stuck on teleconferences all day. When it looked like we were getting nothing, we had a solid plan of how to set up in my backyard. Throughout the whole process I knew that show would go on. Finally, the venues opened up and we scored a jackpot. From there, it was a breeze (for me, at least). We had one more site visit, some brief planning and great coordination with the venue host to set up the plan. I had a dynamic headcount (odd that some people would read about new COVID variants and worry about a superspreader event), but the team rolled with it and the way things were set up I had no concerns because we took every precaution. The day of the event was perfect. Tables were set up according to plan, the food delicious and presented beautifully, and everyone was raving about the quality of the set up and service. Servers were very nice and accommodating to guest needs. After a long and winding road, The Wife got her celebration of a lifetime, and I set high bar for all of our friends who also have spouses near this milestone. All because I listened to the expert and started with the food.

Good catering company for value if your not looking to spend a lot of money but want fairly good food delivered typically buffet style, they are not a full-service high-end catering company by any means but they have good value and if you're on a budget and care more about the food than service, then I would strongly recommend going with them.. Nothing over the top. Bob the owner/operator seemed to be a really decent guy.
Bob and his crew (His sons Chris and Andrew) were AWESOME! It was a last minute catering request and I was first time customer. The end result of AMAZING. They were very professional and helpful and sooo very reasonably priced. The meals were wonderful and yummy! THey provided the kind of service and peace of mind needed when hosting a small gathering during these unprecedented times. They took every precaution to provide safe Covid services ie masks and even provided hand sanitizers for our guests. I highly recommend Crystal Springs Catering and no doubt will look to using them again in the very near future.

Bob and his team helped cater an event we had for our friends birthday. From start to finish, Bob was attentive and easy to work with. He made all my catering dreams come true. If I knew catering was this easy, I would have had more parties. The food was delicious and we had such a large variety of foods to choose from. Bob also made everything COVID safe by allowing food set up and drop off with little to know interaction and he did not need to use my kitchen. He also included a sneeze guard to protect the food. For a little extra charge he also provides linens, China, glasses...anything you need. Thank you again Bob for your wonderful service! Highly recommended!

I miss them terribly at Filoli's Quail's Nest Cafe! It was always a treat to eat at the cafe when they were there. Filoli really hurt themselves by going with a different caterer. I will recommend CSC to anyone looking for a great caterer. Great food at great prices! Now Filoli has lost its savor.

I work at Stanford and they've been bringing us food for the past week and the food has been incredible. No complaints here and the guys setting up are incredibly nice! Thanks to Crystal Springs and the person kind enough to provide the food for us! It really truly helps!!

I got a huge wire in my food and it stabbed my mouth. No one ever reached out to see if i was ok. Pretty disappointed at their lack of care and respect to clients. I'm not giving them a 1 star because their food is otherwise decent.
