    La Creme | Dining Rentals
    Crysta K.

    Our wedding venue works exclusively with La Creme Monterey and it's not hard to see why. Their food and staff set the bar in each of their respective categories. La Creme catered, staffed and handled the rentals for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. After an initial meeting with Tamie, Kristen assisted us with the remainder of the planning. Pro Tip: do not be afraid to give them a ring for specific questions. Both Tamie and Kristen are always kind and accommodating. We were so grateful that part of La Creme's services included handling the rentals for both events as it lifted a major element of the day off of our shoulders. I was very impressed with how La Creme and their staff were able to make our rehearsal dinner and wedding two individually spectacular events. For the rehearsal dinner we left the tablescape decor in their capable hands and we were so glad we did. Our wedding day dinner setting had many preplanned elements from the floral artistry to my last minute crafts, but La Creme still brought their special touches and took it to the next level. For those of you who could give a hoot about Pinterest projects and decorations, your section is here. Let's talk food. La Creme's menu options are vast and each description is more mouthwatering than the next. Their menu absolutely translates to real life. Something we keep hearing from our guests is how amazing the food at our wedding was. Anyone who's been to a wedding knows that this is a huge compliment and relief. An added bonus, La Creme makes conscious ingredient choices. Every menu option is created from organic, non-GMO and locally sourced ingredients. Even so, their pricing is incredibly competitive which is pretty amazing for that level of quality. La Creme's staff sets the bar for service. Their staff members make a point to care about your guests and your day. It's obvious that they are there to do a great job and leave a lasting positive impression.

    I came for a quick business meeting and this cute little place absolutely blew me away! The atmosphere was relaxed and homely! Loved the individual tea pots and the scones were so good I had to go back and make sure I tried one of each! Highly recommended!!

    As a follow up to Michelle L's post below ... Tamie - THANK YOU for an incredible wedding weekend at The Holly Farm. From the delicious rehearsal dinner menu and table settings through the wedding reception, the entire staff was fabulous and on-point! Posting a few photos :)

    Tamie is amazing and I just want to hang out with her in real life. She does that thing, where she gives you amazing tasting food at a wedding which is next to impossible. La Creme catered our Holly Farm wedding and our Hangover Brunch the next day and everything was beautiful and so tasty. Our guests raved about all the food, from the fresh heirloom tomato salad, to the late night nacho bar. She knocked our signature drink out the park. I've had to divulge the recipe to numerous guests. And she takes care of you which is what every bride wants on her wedding. The simple gesture of making up a plate of food and putting it in our mini fridge at the end of the night to make sure we would get to taste everything at our wedding, something a lot of couples miss out on in the chaos of the day. Truly grateful to Tamie and La Creme for making our day the best we could have imagined.

    We had the honor of having our wedding at The Holly Farm catered by Tamie and her amazing team at La Creme. I can't say enough about how delicious and beautiful every single dish is! Our guests are still raving about how it was by far the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Tamie goes above and beyond to make sure that the bride and groom are satisfied with every single detail of the day. She has a great personality and knows how to calm a bride's nerves! She does not hesitate to go the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day of your wedding. They even made a signature cocktail with my vague ideas (berries, basil, rum??) that was SO delicious. If you have the opportunity to have your wedding or special event catered by La Creme, sit back, relax, take a deep breath, and realize that it is all going to be FABULOUS.

    Tasting at La Creme for all meals of the day.  Too much food (could not stop eating due to yumminess).

    Tamie and her wonderful team took over the Holly Farm and created wonderful, delicious food for my wedding couple and their guests to enjoy over the entire weekend. They accommodated every request, big or small, and provided service graciously with a giant smile. The food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. Having had the opportunity to spend time with them in the kitchen, I noted how meticulous they were with the preparation of the food, and how they cared about the food and the people they were serving not only in front of them, but back in the kitchen where guests could not have seen them. Every morning of the guests' stay, she would come to the property and ensure the guests had everything they needed. She took charge of all aspects of rentals, and had a great eye for detail, ensuring the perfect placement of the table setting (seriously, she was so specific with her team, it was a wedding planner's dream!) to create the most perfect tablescapes. We had the honour of visiting her restaurant/kitchen in Pacific Grove for a private tasting. What a cute charming place she has. Incredible decor, with a picture of her grandmother in her memory in there, with the best story too (you have to visit her to find out her story!). Aside from being an amazing chef, Tamie is bubbly, vivacious, funny and caring. Just an all around outstanding human being. If you get the chance to host an event of any kind in Pacific Grove, please look to La Creme, Tamie and her team to create a unique, unforgettable, delicious experience for you. Words cannot express how happy I am to have had the opportunity to get to know Tamie and her team and to work with them. I definitely want to work with her at the next chance I get! Please keep in touch, my friend!

She ended up scoping out the location beforhand so come day of the catering services knew exaclty where to go. For an all day meeting, they provided both breakfast and lunch items and made sure there was enough coffee for the guests. I was really grateful for the food quality and the service. I had several compliments from the attendees from the event about how good the slections were. I enjoyed the flexibility and the ease of accommodating dietery restrictions without having to pivot the whole menu. The guests had something that was though out instead of a last minute thought or just vegetables. Overall would use again if I am in the Monterey area.

The food was so good and our guests raved about it even after the event. We opted for a multi course plated service and everything was delicious, presented so beautifully and made fresh local ingredients that truly wowed us all. I highly recommend their short ribs, baked havarti oysters, and do not pass on Bruces famous brownies! We absolutely loved how great the team was to work with as well. From the very beginning Bruce listened to the tastes/foods that were important to us and delivered on our special day. Jordan was a true hero handling our event rentals and making sure we had everything we needed for our bar service. Both were very responsive the entire time, and even hosted us for a tasting a few months prior to the event allowing us to sample what we were getting ourselves in to. I'd like to add that we also played a round of golf with them- these guys really love what they do and the people that they get to work with and it was really special for us to gain friends along the way. Thank you guys again for such a wonderful experience and we can't wait to work with you again soon!

I'm 99% sure he still uses Molinari salami because the flavor, texture, and taste are absolutely impeccable. Italian dry salami quality in sandwich delis in the United States has drastically declined in the last couple decades. Not here though thankfully. The selection of uncommon chips and drinks is still top-notch...this has to be the only place I've ever seen Faygo in the Monterey area! The deviled eggs are still great also. I got there too late for broccoli salad. Bennett is still running the register, cracking jokes, and making smiles happen for his old regulars. And it looks like he has a really good crew currently. We will be back again and again. While I do enjoy the more upscale Italian sandwiches of Coniglio Bros on cannery row once in awhile, nothing slaps like a sandwich from an old school neighborhood minimart deli. This is the sandwich of your childhood, your teen years, and your early adulthood. This is how California nostalgia tastes.

    Fantastic! My friend…read morerecommended that we pick up sandwiches here before a Big Sur trip. I'm so glad she did - this place is great! If you'd like to order a sandwich, there is a picnic table outside with clipboards and order sheets. You can order off their very extensive menu of sandwiches, or create your own. There is a wide variety of bread, meat, and cheese options so everyone can find something they like. Be very cautious if you order a whole sandwich because saying they are huge is an understatement. When you are ready to order, you bring the sheet to the back left deli counter where they have their display and desserts. While we waited for our sandwiches, we took some time to look around the market. It is fantastic! The decor is lovely. The items they have in stock is also impressive. They have your basic items like chips and soda, but also a large international snack section. There are shelves of foreign chip flavors and drinks which is very neat. They also have a super wide variety of domestic products that you can't typically find everywhere. I was thoroughly impressed with all they have to offer. The sandwich itself was the cherry on the cake. It was the biggest sandwich I have ever seen. I was shocked at how thick and heavy it was. It was incredibly affordable too! It tasted delicious and very fresh. I will definitely be a repeat customer whenever I am in the area.
