I stopped in today to have breakfast and it was delicious. They just opened their bakery this week…read more The owners are so nice. You need to go support this local business. The food was so good that I ate 2 breakfasts tacos and a chocolate croissant (which I can't resist). The breakfast tacos were so amazing. They make their own homemade tortillas and they just melt in your mouth. Chef Vi was also telling me that she makes meals to go, so you can pick up dinner if you don't have time to cook. She was making balsamic chicken and it smelled heavenly. I might be back for dinner..hehe and a croissant...

We used 512 boutique events twice for our networking and business events, I can't say enough good…read morethings about the entire experience. From the first communication, Becky was prompt to respond. She created an awesome menu for our group and cater to all of our dietary requirements while working within our budget. She was always quick to answer any questions I had. Her and her entire team are reliable, professional, and friendly! Both lunch menus they created were different and delicious. Our guest raved about the exceptional taste, and the quality of the lunches. One day was a Mediterranean buffet, and the second day was a Mexican food Buffay. We also used them to cater our bar. I look forward to working with Becky and her fantastic team again in the future.

We chose 512 Boutique Events for our wedding and it may have been the single best choice we made…read more(which is saying a lot, because all our vendors were outstanding). The catering choice was a tough one for us because good food was basically our top priority. From the very beginning, Becky was incredibly helpful, friendly, and accommodating. She crafted (and re-crafted, and re-crafted, and re-crafted) a menu that was absolutely perfect to our personal taste, and she patiently handled every weird change we came up with along the way. She even perfectly recreated our favorite appetizer from a restaurant in Bryan! And when I mentioned I wanted to rent a popcorn machine, she immediately offered to provide popcorn/oil/mix-ins/seasonings, her staff to run it, and bags for the popcorn. Becky was also SO responsive. Sometimes I'd send a frantic late-night email (expecting to hear back in normal business hours over the next few days), and she'd respond that night! We felt so comfortable with her immediately because she's friendly, warm, and passionate about making your event perfect. One of the saddest parts about our wedding being over is that we won't get to keep seeing/bothering Becky! The staff and food were also excellent on the night of our wedding. Every single person I spoke to raved about the food. The staff was so attentive to my husband and I, constantly checking if we needed any more food, and they packaged up a bunch of leftovers for us. I can't recommend them enough, we are just so thrilled with how it all turned out.

I have a sour-sweet feeling about this catering service. For my wedding, they made modifications to…read moremy contract a few times, and "Alanna" was very rude, suggesting to find another catering service if we did not like the changes 3 DAYS prior to the wedding. They did not offered a plated service, even so the staff was idling during their staying at our reception. They had an outstanding avocado bar. But the additional appetizers I asked for were served cold and mushy. The main course was Ok, so was the bar. Saddens me that the pictures of the food in my wedding are very lame. Unbelievable after what we paid. And should have been easy to accommodate for only 50 guests. Honestly, I do not recommend them unless they switch staff.

We hired Dagar's for our son's rehearsal dinner for around 100 people this weekend in downtown…read moreAustin. Dagar's did a GREAT job! Kat, in the office, helped plan the evening and was so helpful throughout the whole process. When she walked me through the event details she captured everything they needed to know. The night of the event, they were on time, prepared, and well-staffed. We chose to have a plated meal and they served everything effortlessly to the room. The food was delicious and hot when it arrived at the tables. We had passed appetizers which were also a big hit during cocktail hour. I am so glad that we hired them and highly recommend them if you are planning an event in the Austin area.

We were passing through quaint downtown Elgin on Independence Day weekend and decided to stop for a…read morebit. There are two places here that are definitely worth mentioning. First is the Owl Wine Bar & Home Goods. This store was simply adorable! It is tastefully decorated and stocked with an amazing inventory including hand stitched pillows. Reasonably priced too. I ordered a wine based daiquiri to sip on while shopping. Ended up buying some sage/palo santo incense for prayer time. I could've done some damage to the pocketbook here, but held off this time. At the wine bar, we met a local and asked for brunch recommendations. He pointed towards the Firewild restaurant just down the street. It wasn't much of walk to get there. Once inside, talk about an adorable eating establishment! The interior gives off a mix an industrial and farmhouse vibe. Most of the food is locally sourced. You order at the counter from a simple menu and find a seat. The tables are tastefully decorated with small, real flower center pieces. While waiting for the main course, we decided to whet our appetites with a scrumptious pecan, chocolate chip cookie. Next was the main dish. Y'all, the food was amazing! The cheeseburgers were thick and juicy with quality toppings inside. Not that white iceberg lettuce crap. One bite was all it took to send my tastebuds dancing. It was complimented by an order of homemade potato wedges. For veggies, we chose a beet salad. It was an excellent choice as it was divinely layered with candied pecans. For an extra bonus, you can pop some tags shopping at the Lion's Club thrift store. Purchases there benefit the community via scholarships and helping needy families. Small town, good shopping & great food - I am here for it!

We cannot recommend the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center enough! Although it's known as the UT Alumni…read moreCenter, it is so much more, a stunning, elegant venue that absolutely wowed us and our guests. We had countless people comment on how beautiful the space was and how incredible the food tasted. Ashley, from Rosemary's Catering, was our main point of contact and truly the MVP. Her communication and organization leading up to our big day made the entire process feel seamless. She was responsive, kind, and made sure every detail was taken care of, which was especially helpful since we were planning from outside of Austin. We chose the Tex-Mex buffet and it was an absolute hit! The food was fresh, delicious, and plentiful. To top it all off, we added Amy's Ice Cream for dessert, and our guests are still talking about it. Booking with Etter-Harbin made wedding planning so much easier. Through them, we handled all the food, drinks, and rentals in one place. Once we secured the venue, all we needed was a coordinator, photographer, florist, and DJ and their preferred vendor list helped us find amazing people for each. This venue is beautiful, well-run, and perfect for anyone wanting a smooth planning process and an unforgettable day.

As UT alumni, we decided to have our wedding ceremony venue at the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center for…read more100 guests. Our sales manager was Taylor Kelly, and she was magnificent! She was incredibly responsive through email and answered all of my questions. Our meetings were lax, and I never felt that she was trying to sell me anything that I didn't want or need. From working with our budget to tasting the menu, she was very flexible and accommodating. Unfortunately she had to move states in the middle of our interaction, but the handoff and transition to our second sales manager, Emily Malaya, was seamless and no information was dropped. Emily was just as wonderful, efficient both through email as well as in person. We completed working out all the details without issues and working with both Taylor and Emily was the most pleasant and least stressful experience of our wedding planning. When the first sales manager is excellent at her job, you wonder if she was just one-of-a-kind rock star. But when the second sales manager is equally as talented, you realize you're working with a great event planning company that knows how to hire and train. The day of the wedding has arrived and just when we thought Emily was incredibly valuable, she stepped it up a notch. From coordinating the procession to rounding up the wedding party to personally pinning on my boutonniere, she made sure every part of the ceremony was as flawless as possible, and any issues that popped up she handled it easily and calmly. You can clearly tell she's had a lot of experience under her belt. Honestly, who know how many fires Emily had put out that I don't even know about. I have no idea how the ceremony would have gone without her help. You can tell she's not just good at her job, but she really enjoys taking care of her clients on what could be the biggest day of their life.
