One star for Check-in freebie, basil lemonade. It's good. I think it's better than Lemonade. Sorry Lemonade:( Got so many stuff from here, macaroons are decent, one more star for blood orange tart, steak salad, baked baked chicken. One more star for Asian Salad. One star for Intelligentsia coffee. One star for outstanding service at the counter/manager person. read more

FoodInk Catering - My kind of cafe! - Caterers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stopped by here with the husband and our dog a few Saturdays ago because we were excited to see a new place open up walking distance from us (there's not a lot right there on that stretch of La Brea). We were happily greeted by the shop owner, Kate. Kate walked us through the menu, which all looked delicious, suggested some things and before we knew it, we had purchased lunch and dinner for later. Light lunch was great -- I had a chicken breast and husband had blackened salmon and we split a waldorf salad. Chicken and salmon were great (and I don't like salmon) and the salad is my new favorite thing. I'm obsessed! Oh and we also got 2 mac and cheese bites which were also heavenly! For dinner we purchased a pepperoni pizza pack that we cooked on the grill later that night. That turned out really nicely (see the photo I uploaded of before and after). All that and they were super friendly and welcoming to our dog. Can't wait to go back! read more

FoodInk Catering - Pizza pack! - Caterers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Since I don't live in the local area, I haven't had a chance to try Grocerie yet, but today I got the opportunity and damn it was delicious. For lunch I took a roast beef + mustard + aioli +arugula + heirloom tomato sandwich on a baguette to go. You can't walk in and get this kind of sandwich just anywhere. I brought home a serving of 'Pea & Pancetta Orecchiette' to warm up and share with my wife for dinner. It was seriously one of the best pasta dishes we can remember since our honeymoon in Italy. I live in Long Beach and work in Torrance, but I may drive all the way back just to buy some more. If you live or work in the area, do yourself a favor and try Grocerie. read more

What an AMAZING FIND!!! This is, without a doubt, my new favorite lunch spot. Everything is freshly made and delicious, the staff is awesome and I can't recommend Food Ink enough! Two thumbs way up. read more

One word: YUMMY! Many words: This cafe is a GEM and one of the few non-fast food joints in my neighborhood. The quality of the food is outstanding - fresh, seasonal, flavorful, and artisan. The "grocerie" side is a small, modern-ecclectic cafe with a super friendly team, curated selection of cookwear, gifts, & fancy ingrediants, and a never ending pot of Intelligentsia coffee. I often come here for lunch and leave with dinner to go. They also have gourmet picnic bags to order which I can't wait to take on a Hollywood Forever movie night. The main hub/company is FoodInk Catering. As soon as I have a special event to plan, I'm calling Kate and Jonathan immediately. They're awesome! read more

It was really yummy, while a little pricey. However, good quality ingredients cost money so I totally understand and will be back. The Basil Lemonade was delish! Awesome for vodka cocktails, wink! ;) The salad with goat cheese and beets was OMG. And all the cookies are delish. Macaron were meh, no competition to Bottega Louie. Very nice staff and such a cute space! Love all the little knick knacks you can buy. read more

Fresh, delicious food in a surprising/odd location. Friendly service, decent prices for the quality. Excellent desserts. I had a panini. Companion had a salad with (cold) pasta. Both seemed very carefully planned and well thought out and were delicious. read more

Just amazing. I bought the Gilt City Artisinal Picnic Bag for a night out at Cinespia with my fiancé and his cousin. The basil infused limeade was so delicious, especially mixed with citron vodka. The cheese and charcuterie plate was enough for 6 people, easily. We filled up on cheese so much we almost forgot about the giant arugula and melon salad, massive portion of orzo pasta salad, and the perfectly cooked flank steak. And on top of all that, there were citrus creme brûlée tarts and tirimisu in tiny mason jars. The movie-goers sitting around us kept asking where we got all that gorgeous food. It was the best money I'd ever spent on picnic food, hands down, and they will be my first choice for picnic dining from now on. Super friendly staff as well. read more

Just realized after 4 or 5 visits, it's time to write a review! Grocerie by foodink is a much needed bright spot in our neighborhood! One dieter and one pork-fiend in the house can make for difficult dining decisions(not that the dieter isn't a pork-fiend, mind you)...but with options such as their recent pulled-pork dinner for Father's day and their all too addictive Cole-Dorf salad - kale, yes, please, ours is a happy and well-fed home! And the housemade basil-limeade, a summertime treat to wash everything down, delicious. Anything with figs or fig jam is likely from the owner's tree as she told us - and not to mention heavenly! If there's a pizza with the fig jam, gorgonzola and pancetta - grab it, cook and hide! Summertime picnic-ers in particular should know about this place while we still have outdoor concerts and movies to go to - grab 'n go and you will be the envy of those around you! read more

Yumminess!!! I loved my Kale Salad lost my mind on the citrus dressing on the frisée with pomegranate and feta! read more

See all

We got the avocado toast and ricotta prosciutto toast and potato salad (and a free yelp check in basil limeaid to boot!) and everything was delicious. The limeaid was not too sweet but very flavorful and the potato salad was fresh, light and had purple potato varieties. Very good all around read more

FoodInk Catering - Cute lunch nooks - Caterers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a sweet little hidden gem in a part of town that needs more great places. If you are ever near Highland and LaBrea and your stomach is growling, you can pick up a perfect lunch from a great caterer. Fresh food fills the cases and smiling faces abound. Perfect roast beef too! I have worked with their catering company too and they provide seamless service that is reflected in the modern esthetic of the Grocerie. Really creative food with a staff that guesses your every need. Kate, Karla, Sarah and the team will feed you when you need it most! read more

No bathroom. I was gonna eat here but I was desperately needing to pee so I had to leave. They just missed out on business because they won't let people use their bathroom. Ridiculous. read more

Incredible quick lunch spot. Delicious and fresh... gourmet style sandwiches and salads. Quiche was great, too. The service is so friendly... Will definitely be back! read more

This is such a great place to pick up healthy eating. I understand their main business is catering. If the food is anything like the take out, YOU MUST USE them for your next event. read more

Food Ink catered our October wedding at Marvimon and I'd give them 10 stars if I could. The food was scrumptious, and the level of service was impeccable. Kate is perfectly awesome to work with - straight-forward, funny, and most importantly, so buttoned-up and organized. She threw in all sorts of extra special little touches and our guests continue to compliment us on how delicious the food was. Heirloom tomato & goat cheese tart tartins! Fried chicken & waffles! Roasted branzino with caperberries! Herb & mustard-encrusted beef tenderloin! And the desserts . . . WOW. Food Ink is worth every penny and we are so thrilled we got to work with them. read more

Where are you going to get a nice lunch on this stretch of La Brea? Here only here. Fresh sandwiches, salads and soups. Small, cute. Like little koans on third read more

This place was awesome. They acknowledged my complaint about the salad and made amends. I went back today and brought lunch to a friend. The roast beef sandwich is yummy. So was the beet salad. My friends enjoyed their lunch. I'll be back. read more

As I work about two minutes away from this storefront cafe, I now fear for my waistline. The orecchiette, butternut squash and goat cheese salad with maple dressing is absolutely delicious. Honestly, I wake up craving it. I fully intend to try other things there (the vegan wrap of the day, perhaps) but I haven't been able to leave Grocerie without that damned pasta salad, and I can't be trusted with additional food because I will probably eat it all at once. And that might just be the end of me. read more

I go to this adorable place for the vegan wrap! Great atmosphere and customer service.

I ordered a picnic bag for four for the Hollywood Bowl last night and the food and presentation were superb. I received great service from happy, friendly people and my guests were super impressed with the food. When I got the follow up email today from Grocerie asking if I was satisfied, that sealed the deal. I've been eating Grocerie's delicious carry-out vegetarian food for a while now, but now I know their catering products are outstanding, too. L.A. is lucky to have Grocerie! read more

After a long day at work, I often stop here to take home lunch or dinner, as it's right on the way home. Every salad and sandwich has been delicious, not so much on the baked goods. Good excuse to avoid the sugar! I will say it's a bit pricey, and the Aussie gal at the counter is always trying to sell me more food than I need, but I'm glad to have grocerie around. The food is fresh, with clean mediterranean flavors. Lots of vegetarian options. read more

Excellent food, great choices, amazing team! Always fresh and delicious. My new favourite place!

Hard to find but worth the effort! Had an orrechiete, goat cheese and butternut squash salad with this sage-lemon-olive oil dressing. Unbelievably rich and delicious. $10!! I'll be back. read more

I've been here 3 times. The 1st time there was a girl working named Sherry who was overly rude and made me think twice about ever returning. The 2nd time there was a young lady named Roberta working and she was very welcoming and nice, telling me about the mission of the establishment and the back-story of the owner. She couldn't have been nicer, which is why i came back a 3rd time and Roberta remembered me by name and even what i had gotten last time. She was so sweet and they should feel overly lucky to have her there because of her passion for the cafe. I definitely will return as long as she's there...and i love the salads read more

Great food! Everything I have tried so far has been very good. Particularly fond of the breakfast burrito, it's a good size and comes with plenty of fillers, the bacon is incredible. Prices are a bit high, but everything is made in house and the ingredients are of an exceptional quality so I'm willing to overlook a $10 breakfast burrito. The desserts and salads are also fantastic. read more

I read all the positive yelp reviews but never imagined the place to be that small or not have air conditioning on a 100 degrees day. Since I had all ready bought the yelp deal and we were starving we did get the ham and cheese panini which is $11, the pesto chicken panini $10, and the orecchiette, butternut squash and goat cheese salad for $10. Everything is premade in a deli case cooler and the paninis were heated up right there by the cash register on a very tiny panini maker. We got the basil lemonade on the yelp check in and wow, was that freaky. It was really hard to eat in the extreme heat and we brought our own bottled water which we needed very much, they had a strawberry water there to drink complimentary. The food was good but very expensive. I would have left due to the heat if I had not bought a Yelp deal. There are two, tiny tables to sit at in the window and some outside tables. For a not-so-hot location this place will definitely get their money from catering. Too bad everyone that works there or goes there have to sweat their asses off!. read more

I stopped in this place while on my way home from work. It was small but nice and clean. However the Australian lady behind the counter was very rude in response to my questions about the ingredients in her food. I will never come here again, I didn't feel welcome at all. read more

Okay, so listen, I'm not really down with yelp, but I'm yelping specifically for grocerie because the dude that runs this place, jonathan, is dope. Food is yummy. Breakfast burrito will keep me full the whole day. My wife liked the carrot/apple/ginger juice. She accidentally put siraccha all over her brekkie bun and she doesn't see the appeal of spicy food yet she still was very satisfied. read more

I've been here so many times in the past year...can't believe it has taken this long to share the love. And we do LOVE Grocerie. Where do I start? Intelligensia Coffee is amazing, The Coledorf Salad has become a dietary staple. My 7 year old invariably finds something sweet, and reasonably healthy. Hubby loves any kind of lamb that comes out of the kitchen. The fried chicken and ribs, rival anything in that department ANYWHERE! The cold bar is a daily surprise...always new and inventive. And to top all the place just feels good. The staff are warm, the owner is incredibly helpful and is clearly passionate about what she has created. Love Love Love. read more

We ordered a picnic lunch here and it was beyond amazing! Everything from the cheese plate, roast beef sandwiches, salads, grilled chicken and pumpkin cheesecake was spectacular. They will be our new go-to spot going forward! read more

As my fellow Foodie friend and I were driving down Labrea on our way to Fords Filling Station we passed by this small little shop with an open sign. The sign read Foodinc. We glanced at it and thought what the hell we were in a rush anyway and up for an adventure. We walked into this tiny little storefront with only one table in the corner and asked the guy at the counter "do you serve food?" He replied "we are a catering company but we are open to the public from 11 to 4 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday only." Now we perked up, this really was a find, a true blue foodie paradise. We proceeded to order a Bahn Mi....amazing (and no it is not a Thai place.) Then potato salad...usually a hum drum kinda thing came out with blue potatoes and scallions and was so good that my friend commented that she even thought about it the next day! Of course there was dessert. We decided to be safe and try Gingerbread cookies. They had more had the texture of cake. My friend thought they were perfect. Personally I like a little more Ginger flavor, but I am different. In fact , my fiend liked them so much she had more than one! read more

We used Foodink Catering for a large company event in October 2015 in San Diego and they did an amazing job. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We loved the food so much we used Grocerie2Go to cater a lunch at our office last week and ordered mostly the same items. Cedar roasted salmon; agra dulce braised jidori chicken; roasted yams, grapefruit and avocado salad; fruit and nut studded cous cous and creamy mashed potatoes. The food was delivered on time and the guy helped us set it up. Each item came with its own label to describe the dish. For dessert we ordered the fresh tropical fruit platter, salted chocolate chip cookies, citron crème brulee tartlets, meyer lemon mini pies and seasonal mini cupcakes. Everything was delicious! Thanks to Kate and her staff for providing such excellent food and service. We will definitely use Foodink Catering & Grocerie for our next event. Kathy @ Easton Foundations read more
