Palo Alto Catering — Offices, Homes & Receptions
Palo Alto splits neatly between University Avenue floors that need lunch in and out within a 40-minute window, and Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park homes hosting dinners where the timing is looser but the details matter more. Same kitchen, two very different playbooks, and we’ll tell you up front which one your event needs.

ReviewsPalo Alto client comments
Recent notes from Palo Alto hosts and office managers.
"I ordered from SJ Catering Company for a corporate training event and ordered both breakfast and lunch. Quick responses, generous portions and great food! I would order from them again."
"The food was amazing. The staff was so helpful. They had time to help us clean up around the house with dirty dishes and glasses. I will see you again at my next event. Thank you."
"Everything was fantastic!! The sliders were absolutely delicious. Ordering was super easy. I had the catering drop off service which worked out great. I would definitely order from San Jose Catering Company again!"
