My group of 6 friends hired this company to come to the home of 1 of the group to cook dinner for us. The man and woman who came were elderly to the point that they struggled to walk. The woman inappropriately walked around barefoot in the home. The 5 course meal was $120 a person. The soup was good but was not homemade, the main course was steak tips which were very tough. The dessert was a store bought cheesecake. Personally I believe everything should be homemade when you hire a personal chef, it really goes without saying.

I had high expectations when hiring this private chef service for a special in-home dining experience, but it turned out to be one of the most disappointing meals I’ve ever had. For $720 (for six people), I expected a well-executed, restaurant-quality experience. Instead, two elderly individuals individuals showed up who could barely walk, which immediately raised concerns about their ability to provide the level of service promised.
The food presentation was terrible—nothing looked appetizing or professionally plated. The meat was rubbery and poor quality, making it inedible. To top it off, the dessert was literally a $7 frozen Daiya cheesecake from the grocery store, something I could have grabbed myself for a fraction of the price.
For the amount we paid, this was beyond unacceptable. There was no sense of quality, effort, or professionalism. I would strongly advise anyone considering this service to look elsewhere unless you want to overpay for a subpar meal that you could have made better yourself.
The owner talked the talk and wanted to be paid in full upfront. Of all the private chef experiences I have ever hired, never have I had to pay before receiving the service. Now I know why.

I want at least half my money back.

Ordered a personal chef from Base Bowls for a girls weekend.

Food was not as expected. Salad barely had any dressing, steak tips were under cooked and very tough. Instead of homemade cake, it was frozen from a box.

I don't recommend.

This was a tarable experience for me. The salads 🥗 needed more dressing, The meat was so tough I could not eat it.It was not at all worth the money we paid.

i usually like coming here, especially when the taller lady is working. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was not a good experience. Firstly, i didn’t see the lady i usually see, instead i saw two different ladies. I ordered a couple of items, and my order took FOREVER to be ready when we were the only ones there. They seemed to not know how things worked as one of the ladies kept looking at the menu in the front and asking questions, and the other stood in front of the blender for about 5 mins j staring at it. They only started working at a moderate pace once i asked for a refund. My grilled cheese was both burnt and soggy at the same time, my sisters açaí bowl had missing ingredients.$50+ for bad customer service and not so great food is not ok.

Base Bowls & Company graciously catered an event on a Saturday for my daughter's dance team. Despite the distance Stephanie had to travel to get to the venue, the food was absolutely perfect. The mac n cheese was the best I've had in a long time, and the wrap and green tea were phenomenal! My picky child enjoyed her parfait, wrap, mac n cheese, and boba lemonade. I had a fairly larger order, and everything was there. The food was packaged very well, the portions were amazing, and the price was great. I will 100% place orders with Base Bowls & Company in the future, especially if it's offered as a meal option during an incredibly long day.

Cute place, but when we walked in, it smelled overwhelmingly like cleaner. However the food was delicious. They did sub the bread for my avocado toast without letting me know, then I couldn't eat it because I'm dairy free. Otherwise it was a very good Avo toast. I also got the Acai bowls which was fabulous and worth the price. But we felt it was expensive overall. Worth trying, and definitely recommend the Acai bowls. Will go again for that.

Dietary restrictions: Dairy free options - just make sure you tell them in advance

Loved the acai bowl and boba lemonade I got!

The fruit was fresh and delicious ( I literally was scrapping my bowl at the end) and the boba tea was so yummy I can’t wait to go back for more!

The owner Stephanie is wonderful! She helped guide me as a first time visitor. And her staff was welcoming and friendly.

Can’t wait to go back!

It so so delicious and healthy omg I never had a fruit base bowl before it’s so delicious u even get to chose your base and toppings highly recommend this company

Dani Marie

The fruit bowls were pretty okay. The fruit base is frozen and they had fresh blueberries, strawberries and kiwis on top. I got a modified bowl because they were out of acąì base. The sandwiches actually looked kind of sad and was not extremely filling - veggie aya. It was our first time going to this place, and we didn't really understand what bases you could choose from and which things to choose for a smoothie. Got the mango strawberry smoothie and it didn't taste much like strawberry.
