My nephew used this company. Made sure to let them know had a VERY gluten sensitive family member…read more Kempen told them not an issue they will be able to eat, have handled this before. I was the hostess, went to eat after all tables are done. Let them know I was sensitive, the catering help talked to owner and then I was told they suggested not eat anything that has an utensil in it, everything had one in it! Then the help informs my husband maybe I should have gone first, another member of Kempen team tells him, well we usually have extra in back but everyone showed up so we dont. They however had plenty of food yet, to take home at end of night. My nephew felt horrible I had to order food in. Last catering company kept food on a side table for gluten sensitive. I was the hostess at that wedding also and was able to eat the full meal. Long story short if you want special don't hire them. They tell you what want to hear but follow though.

Overall Terrible experience!

I was told I was getting cake cookies but they were hard stale sugar cookies in the shape of a cake. Also turns out the wrong name was taken down for my brother-in-law. Something so simple turned out to be a joke. So my first time experience will be my last.

In from out of town, I was trying to take some baked items to a friend we hadn't seen in a while…read more I expected this to be a bakery, and to be honest, I'm still not really sure what this business is. All I could see was a small section of prepackaged homemade cookies , not a big selection, and a few prepackaged bars at an outrageous price for 6 lemon bars at $20. Maybe locals understand what this business is, but a visitor trying to buy a coffee cake from a business that has "cake" right in the name was left confused, with no real assistance from any employee.
