“Bialys, which microwaved whole, then the center filled with Kerrygold salted butter [a tad, to fill the center hole], and a bit more butter on the rest of the top, when eaten carefully, that bite of the melted butter, in the center, working toward it, and not letting the melted butter 'escape', is one of the best 'bites' on earth, Trust me...“

“Informative, hands on practice, very relaxed and fun!!! Highly recommend this workshop. Stephanie is terrific!“

“Amazing bread. They also use local sustainable grain in all their bread which warms my heart. I also tried their pasta, cinnamon buns, bagels, and chetzels and they were all incredible. A new favorite weekend drive.“

“Elana kills it on every birthday cake we order! She always goes above and beyond to make sure the vision is perfect. 🤩“

“We pulled in here on a whim earlier today and were lucky enough to guy something right before they closed for the day. Carrot cake was amazing. Hard to believe it’s soy free, dairy free, and gluten free. Really made my wife’s birthday special. Highly recommend this place, whether you have relevant food allergies or not.“

“Donna and her team were such a pleasure to work with! They were very informative, had an amazing cake-tasting pick up box that we could comfortably try from home, and they did an amazing job making my wedding cake look and taste incredible!“

“Was so happy with how my daughters cake and cookies came out for her first birthday! They tasted great too! Definitely recommend“

“Cloud Nine Catering catered our wedding at The Lace Factory on July 13, 2023. Let's put it this way... if I could eat their food everyday, I would. Their appetizers, main courses, and cake/cupcakes/cannolis were to die for. My guests are still talking about how amazing the food was weeks after our wedding. If you're looking for food that doesn't have that typical taste or look that it was made in bulk... go here! Nothing is worse when you're at an event and it tastes like "banquet hall food". How many people actually say they're excited to eat their leftovers after their wedding?!Also, when we attended our tasting prior to the wedding, the experience they provided was above and beyond. It was so intimate and special and we truly felt valued and heard. The chefs, staff, and overall quality is top notch. My post wedding blues are mainly because I already miss the Cloud Nine staff, especially Christine! Don't judge until you've worked with them!!Christine Dickerson truly goes above and beyond in all aspects of her job. She has an answer for every question (even the silly ones) and she responds to emails within the same day, if not within a couple hours. Her expertise made wedding planning a breeze and her calming presence helped immensely at my wedding. I feel fortunate to have had her a part of my wedding day, and planning experience.Highly HIGHLY recommend!!“
