A truly outstanding company to work with on my special event!!! Erin is an absolute professional who brought lots of options for me to select from. She was very flexible throughout the planning process and was always available to answer questions and discuss ideas. Lahoma came for a walk through and was helpful in mapping out our rental space with me. Both Erin and Mark brought their A team to execute the event. Their set up was professional and efficient. I appreciated their expertise in making on site decisions regarding set up. Our guests raved about both the quality and beauty of the food and drinks served. Everything was plentiful and absolutely delicious. The mocktails and wine selection were excellent. I would highly recommend 49 Square Catering for your next catered special event. They hit a home run for us and they will do it for you as well. read more

Doesn't look like much on the outside, nor on the inside for the matter. But wow, that chicken sandwich from "My Mac & Only" was definitely memorable. It wasn't what I was expecting, but it's absolutely what I needed. Full-context: The awkward thing was I saw them preparing it too. I was a bit of a rush as my partner had a dance class nearby within the half hour and we had just ordered. So I stood there hoping someone could help me at least get her food out and I could just wait on mine. While no one ended up discussing the situation with me, they at least got my name (well, her name) and sped it up a bit. read more

49 Square Catering - Mac Sandwich - Caterers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Just found this gem on DoorDash last night, it's under the name "ketosis" but I did some research to see the name. Soo sooo yummy and a great price for the fresh ingredients, portions, and convenience. I got cauli mash 10/10, creamed bacon spinach 10/10, sausage puffs which were basically Keto friendly meatballs with marinara 9/10 just because I'm not very much of a meatball person but I would order again and put over my Keto pasta! & Keto wings 9/10. This was all only $23.80!! With the leftovers I put the creamed spinach on top of the caulimash and baked with cheese! I want more! read more

Love their keto offerings on doordash / caviar (their name is Ketosis) The pizza is incredible, and dare I say better then normal pizza. The carrot cake is sumptuous. And no food coma or sugar crash after eating. Very thankful that they exist. read more

Literally the nicest folks in the Bay area. You couldn't ask for a better, friendlier company to do business with. Thanks again, Ticko! We'll see you again next time we're in from Phoenix! - Mark & Brittany ;) read more

Found this place under doordash as 'Vegan Wonderland'. I ordered the cheese pizza bc I've been craving some lately and it was so good!! I'm newly vegan, but I've already tried a couple of vegan cheeses and I really like this one. Will def order from them again in the future! read more

49 Square helped me create the wedding of my dreams. Everyone was exceptional, professional, and kind as could be. Everyone was super responsive over email during the planning process, which is really reassuring. Their goal was to make the catering process as easy and enjoyable as possible with everything from the initial planning to the tasting all the way up to catering the actual event. Side note, I am vegan, and I had several vegan/gluten-free guests at my wedding. 49 Square created a dish that was both vegan and gluten-free that was so enjoyable, I had people coming up to me saying it was the best vegan dish they had ever had at a wedding. I enjoyed it thoroughly as well. 49 Square is the best of the best! read more

I worked with 49 Square for a corporate event and I cannot sing their praises enough. Not only was their food impeccable, the staff was extremely helpful and kind. I work at a food technology company and the chef at 49 Square managed to use our product in every app prepared for our event. And best of all, it was absolutely delicious. We had some dietary needs that needed to be met and 49 Square just hit the ball right out of the park. I can't thank them and their amazing staff enough because of the integral part they played in making the event so fabulous. I would hire them again in a heart beat and if anyone ever asks me who should cater their event -- it's 49 Square Catering. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with 49 Square Catering for our wedding at the Bently Reserve in San Francisco a little over 3 weeks ago. Hiring 49 Square Catering was one of the best wedding decisions we made. The food and service were amazing and they delivered everything we agreed upon. Our tasting was so much fun and I really appreciate the fact that any suggestions or ideas we expressed during our tasting were taken into consideration by Chef Mark and Kim. Little things my husband and I mentioned were not overlooked. I cannot express enough how amazing it is to have a vendor that is on top of things and makes the wedding planning process a bit easier. From the start, I was confident that 49 Square Catering would play a major role in making our wedding day magical. We have received so many compliments from our guests, from the food, the amazing staff service, our linens, chairs and even the silverware. The sliders were a huge hit as a late night snack and the mini beef wellington and mini chicken and waffle were among the favorites during the cocktail hour. It has been a little over three weeks since our wedding and family and friends are still calling us to talk about how amazing the food was. All of our guests were beyond impressed. I can honestly say that since day one 49 Square Catering provided amazing service. I received an immediate response to my wedding inquiry and remember feeling great after my first call with Kim Nelson. Kim is AMAZING :) She has become so much more than a vendor to me...She is a friend and has been there for me since day one. She took the time to get to know us and understand our vision for the wedding, was very responsive to my emails and/or calls, was mindful of our budget, offered suggestions along the way and revised our proposal until we were 100% happy with our choices. She genuinely cared about making sure that I, as the bride, was happy, excited and as relaxed as possible throughout this process. I did not have a wedding planner so it was great having Kim there for me...she was like my bride whisperer. I highly recommend 49 Square Catering for any event. They did everything possible to make our wedding day special and magical and I can confidently say that they will do the same for you. They are a wonderful and special team and my husband and I feel so blessed to have found 49 Square Catering. We could not have asked for more. read more

We used 49 Square for a three day hackathon for 150 employees. Mark and his team served breakfast all three days. 49 Square worked with the themed days that we had laid out for the event and provided a delicious combination of continental and themed hot breakfast each day. The catering team was a delight to work with - on time, friendly, accommodating - they went above and beyond. Hospitality at its best. The food was fresh and delicious, with good signage and beautiful presentation. I definitely recommend 49 Square for your next corporate function! read more

49 Square just catered my wedding and everything went SO smoothly! The food was delicious and elegantly presented. The decor was lovely. The service staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Where I would say that I was particularly impressed was how mindful everybody was at 49 Square. They paid attention to very minor details and were very customer-oriented. They really shined in their event management from the planning process to managing the flow of the event while it was going on. They didn't just bring food, they were a large part of simply making the event HAPPEN. read more

49 Square Catering is as good as it gets. They are extremely professional, easy to work with and extremely personable. Although I didn't have any of their food, I had the pleasure of working with the team for a massive event at Pier 27. Brenda and Trent were the people I got to work with. They were amazing, fast, thought on their feet in the moment, more than helpful, and also very polite and professional when they mentioned certain jobs were not 49sq's responsibility. That's important in working in events. How to define where you end and someone else begins with tact. I would recommend them any day! read more

49 Square Catering is anything BUT square! Mark, Brenda and their staff catered a private party in our home for 50 guests. I was having difficulty deciding what to serve for this particular theme party, but Mark gave me a variety of great options, and didn't have any problem as I changed my mind during the planning stages. I was probably a complete pain as far as clients go, but he was always gracious. Not only did they develop a wonderful menu, but they concocted a house drink and created fun food and drink menus in the theme, which were tastefully displayed at the party. The plating and display of the food and beverage bar were wonderful. Their staff was professional, cheerful, and, as other reviewers have noted, seemed happy to be working. They arrived on time, and the price was well within my budget. And...the FOOD! Mark served up two versions of his own creation - the fawaffle - a falafel-based waffle, stuffed with chicken or eggplant, and drizzled with bacon-infused maple syrup. It was inspired, and everyone loved them. Whether the dishes were passed hors-d'oeuvres, farm-fresh salads,or artfully displayed artisanal cheeses and meats, everything was absolutely delicious. Hosting a party is a lot of work, but 49 Square Catering not only made my experience easy and low-stress, but they did a great job in making ME look fabulous! I couldn't have asked for more. I am eager to have another party so that I can have them back and enjoy their gracious hospitality and delicious food. read more

These people know how to feed the masses! And smaller events too, of course. Their presentation is gorgeous, and I've always had yummy eats. They'll create a menu specific to what your theme is. They catered an event I had at The Bently Reserve and went above and beyond in what they served as well as their design of their service area. Highly recommend! read more

In one word - AMAZING. 49 Square recently catered our San Francisco wedding. It was a multicultural, multiethnic wedding, and we still remember how even the first proposal for the menu drafted by Elaine was very reflective of our respective cultures. We thought right at that time they might be the one! After the tasting session we knew they were indeed the one! Everyone at 49 Square was so personable and thoughtful - you could just sense they love what they do and do it wholeheartedly. We have developed a special relationship with the staff at 49 Square, and they all went out of their way to make sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted it to be, and beyond. Barbara, our event producer, is a creative genius and managed to blend our cultures beautifully - she totally understood what our style was and did a spectacular job - when we walked into the venue just before our wedding, we felt like we were in a dream: our jaws dropped! Chef Mark made wonders with his food, and made sure to tailor the menu to our preferences and took all of our feedback with a smile during our tasting sessions. Everyone keeps telling us to this day how tasty both the food and the desserts were: each guest had his or her favorite. Above all, Elaine was a true pleasure to work with. We felt like she cared for us as if we were family members. Sample this, we had a dress change in the middle of the wedding, and she was helping us with the ties when we were having a little trouble tying them while reassuring everything is fine :) She and the entire staff were very accomodating and professional. We can wholeheartedly recommend 49 Square for any event, and specifically important events requiring special attention. BIG THANK YOU to the entire team! read more

The best of the best! Delicious and innovative food, fabulous service, reliability, and anything else you might want in a catering company.

I ordered a keto burger on DoorDash from these guys and it was DELICIOUS! I really like to support small businesses and this one didn't disappoint. Highly recommend! read more

I cannot give 49 Square a higher rating. Our original venue and catering service had to be cancelled due to the Northern California fires, 5 days before our event. We contacted Kim and team the Wednesday before our Saturday wedding. The speed, professionalism, and overall partnership the team provided was remarkable. We were able to very closely resemble our original menu and all our guests RAVED about the entrees and appetizers. Furthermore, the tables, linens, glassware, and plates provided by the company were top notch. Do yourself a favor and stop looking for other catering services. 49Square is the one!! read more

I had the pleasure of working with 49 Square Catering for a private book-tour event and I couldn't recommend them more! Kim was a pleasure to work with during the entire planning process; prompt to reply to emails, great communicator and very professional. I requested a vegan menu for our event and they customized delicious hors d'oeuvres, beautifully presented and passed continuously through the venue. The entire staff were incredible helpful, professional and easy to work with. read more

Look no further, 49 Square is it! Exactly a week ago, my daughter's vision for her dream wedding became a reality. Kim Nelson and her team executed it with precision. 49 Square has set the bar so high, you will be left in awe! They are a well oiled machine. My husband and I were treated like family from the first time we spoke on the phone, on the day when we had the tasting until the day of the event. Their staff were so attentive to every single details from start to finish. They were such great partners and life savers as well. Efficiency and excellent customer service comes so naturally. It's in 49 Square's DNA! The food was so delicious, our guests are still raving about it to this day! Their presentation of the dishes were hands down amazing. You almost just want to stare at it all night but take one bite and you are completely blown away! Kim, Tico, Trent, Geneva, Keiko, Jeanne (assigned to the bride and groom's table) and to the rest of the crew, thank you for making this special milestone in our lives so seamless! Thank you for your hard work. read more

You will absolutely not go wrong with 49 Square! Mark, Elaine, and their incredible team executed an exceptional food & beverage program for #1500 attendees at the IBM Watson Developer Conference last November at the Innovation Hangar. This one-day F&B program had a lot of moving parts including attendee breakfast, breaks, lunch and reception as well as separate staff and VIP requirements. We certainly kept them busy, and they delivered on everything! Elaine was an absolute pleasure to work with, proposing really cool, out-of-the-box ideas that always were within budget. I appreciated that she also gave me ideas that while tied to my vision maybe weren't as budget friendly. The point - I was given options that allowed me to make more informed decisions. Everything was transparent - never any surprises. Elaine is extremely professional, flexible, always upbeat and super nice. She goes above and beyond to ensure the program is just right for the client and always delivers on the customer service. The flavors. Incredible! My events team along with many attendees and VIPs repeatedly commented on how delicious the food was. Chef Mark and his culinary team truly created magic. From the Sausage Pop Tart to the Carne Asada Burrito to the Bun Nam Cake and Grilled Cheese and Soup Sips - oh, and of course the dessert bar. It was all amazing! It's not easy to feed a large group who are often finicky but this team pulled it off. There was something for everyone and our attendees were clearly very happy with the options as very little food came back after each event. The buffets were also on point. Modern vessels with a creative and efficient setup. And the servers were always on it. Appropriate, attentive and responsive. It's hard to find an event caterer who isn't so cliched with their menu offerings and instead takes very calculated risks with the flavors. I credit Chef Mark with doing just that as it made for a much more interesting food experience at my event. This was my first time working with 49 Square and I assure you, it will not be my last. Enormous thanks to 49 Square Catering for delivering on your promises. Can't wait for the next time! read more

49 Square catered our wedding and did a wonderful job. They were very easy to work with and did just what they said they would. Everything went very smoothly, and (while it's all a bit of a blur for me!) lots of people have commented on how elegant our wedding was, thanks in no small part to these guys' efforts. Huzzah! read more

The entire team at 49 Square Catering really is as good as it gets! From the initial planning through the end of the event, it was an absolute pleasure to work with them. They truly listened to our needs and spared no effort in making the event exceptional. Our guests couldn't have been happier with the presentation, food, and service. Everything went so smoothly and each person that I encountered from the 49 Square team was attentive to our needs and ensured flawless service to make our event a memorable one. Highly recommended! read more

Food = AMAZING!!! Service = AMAZING!!! Food = AMAZING!!! We hired 49 Square Catering to help host our company holiday party. We wanted to put together an eventful and interactive party for about 265 employees. From day one, Elaine, was absolutely wonderful and everything she stated, stayed true through to the very end of our event. On December 5th, she made it happen -- everything came together magically...I am so, so thankful and grateful. She held my hand through the entire planning and coordination of the event. Until today, I am still receiving compliments on how wonderful our party was. Kudos goes out to her and her team! I would truly use them again and again and would highly recommend them. read more

49 Square Catering made my wedding day a magical event! I had the pleasure to work with Kim and she is wonderful! Kim is so smart, honest and professional and she is willing to do whatever she can to make your event a great one. The food tasted outstanding and the entire staff is so kind and works so hard. I am very lucky to have worked with them on my wedding and I strongly believe if you hire them you will feel as happy and lucky as I do. read more

I am an event planner here in San Francisco and I worked with 49 Square Catering in October of 2013 on a corporate event series. We had a really unique request with odd hours. The team at 49 Square were amazing to work with and totally up for any challenge thrown their way. The planning/estimate process was smooth and transparent. Elaine is delightful to work with! Their pricing was completely reasonable and fair. On the day of our events everything went perfectly. Everything was exactly as requested. There were no hiccups or issues of any kind. The final product was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend 49 Square Catering! read more

We had an office party last Thursday with 300 guests. We needed support service staff, and 49 SQ Catering provided an outstanding staff! I worked with Lisa from the beginning who was so professional and communicated thoroughly with me regarding what would be needed. She never hesitated to give her time to assist me in answering questions or discussing the event. She was just so easy to work with. Now that the party is over, I will miss our collaborative discussions. During the party, their serving staff did a superb job running the floor, working with the caterers, serving food and drink, and keeping everything looking beautiful. It was seamless. They were so polite and guest-oriented. They learned the other caterers' names in case someone asked where something was from, and were such a big help maintaining everything in an office that isn't easy to get around with a lot of people. Everyone had such a positive, professional and enthusiastic attitude. We thoroughly enjoyed working with 49 SQ, and can't wait for another opportunity to do so. They all are fabulous! Thank you!! read more

49 Square recently catered an evening event for 140 people for us. It was a great process from start to end to work with them. Kim et al gave us options, but not to many that we'd drown in them, for food and drink. They were creative and flexible in putting the menu together. The food and drink were outstanding and original, and well suited to the famous Bay Area food culture without being yuppyish... Our guests, varied in age and background, raved about the food. There was plenty of food for everyone. The cost was very reasonable, and they did not seem to mind working with us to stay within our budget. Note that they also have knowledge and suggestions if you need to rent an event venue or furniture. All in all a great family run catering business. read more

We just catered a 40th anniversary dance party with fantastic food from 49sq. ! We wanted small bites and small plates so people would not park, but move around. They worked with us to get wonderful food and lots of it. People were thrilled with the food, and the great and friendly staff. Our party had a Cat theme, and even the servers wore cat ears and gave us heartfelt congratulations. Not cheap, but totally worth it! read more

We hired Elaine and her team for our office holiday party on December 12th. We had a number of ups and downs on our end from a planning perspective (budget questions, location mishaps, last-minute RSVPs, etc.) and if it hadn't been for Elaine and 49 Square, I don't know what I would have done! She was a great sounding board for everything party related...even issues that went above and beyond what her responsibilities were. It felt like I was getting a caterer AND a party planner in one person. On the date of the event, the team from 49 Square was amazing...professional, attentive, super pleasant...and the food was out of this world! People couldn't stop talking about how good the food tasted and the cocktails were mixed to perfection. I highly recommend 49 Square and will definitely use them again! read more

49 Square catered a 3-day meeting and a dinner at our offices in SF a couple of months ago, and did an outstanding job! They were very communicative throughout the whole process, went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with everything, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend this caterer! read more

I just worked with Lisa, Mark, Barbara and staff and it was a wonderful experience. They catered my 40th bday party (36 people, in my back yard) and everyone raved about them. They were impeccably professional and the food was really delicious and elegantly presented. They sent an entire staff, including bar tender, and my every wish was granted -- even some I didn't know I had! I will definitely be using 49 Square again if I have such an occasion. read more
