Wow... Hosted an event with about ~115 people. While I was unfamiliar with ordering food for a large number of people, Priscilla helped recommend the amount of food for the requirements, "I don't want to run out of food during the event" and "we love desserts". Another side note: I was catering snacks rather than a meal. I ended up ordering - tri-tip - mashed potatoes - roasted veggies - assorted bread - lemon garlic salmon - veggie garlic pasta - Greek salad - dinner rolls - fresh fruit display - fresh fruit tarts - petit fours - gluten free mini cupcakes: red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, lemon I appreciate that Priscilla suggested to halve the salmon fillets to have double the number of salmon pieces for guests to have snack portions rather than meal portions. Although mini cupcakes were not listed on her menu, she was able to provide them. Also, you can ask her about gluten free desserts. You can have more than just macarons. Compliments I received... "Did you make the food? The salmon and tri-tip were so juicy." "This is better than most wedding food." 2 people inquired who I used to cater for the event. I received general praise that the food was good. I received explicit praise that the petit fours and fruit tarts were good. The mashed potatoes were thick but good. Passion for catering's setup and tear down went smoothly. It was maybe 20-30 minutes of setup and 10 minutes of tear down. I appreciate that they were able to provide decor for the food tables. They also provided some takeout containers for us to take leftover food. 10/10 would cater from them again. read more

I don't even know where to begin... Priscilla absolutely blew me away! My graduation party was a total surprise, planned by my brother, and the food was one of the biggest highlights of the day. Every single dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with so much love and care. You can tell she puts her heart into her work. From the small details to the bold flavors, everything was thoughtful and intentional. Guests are still talking about how amazing the food was ...and trust me, we're a tough crowd to impress! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also kind, professional, and easy to work with. If you're looking for a caterer who brings soul to the table and takes pride in her craft, Passion for Catering is it! I'm so grateful to have experienced her work and will absolutely be recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you for making such a special day even more unforgettable. You truly outdid yourself!

Passion for Catering did my bridal shower and our 300+ person wedding. From small, intimate gatherings to big events, they did not disappoint. Priscilla and her staff are very professional and went above and beyond for us. We would 100% recommend them to family and friends and look forward to working with them again in the future any chance we get! read more

THIS IS IT! The #1 catering company in the Bay Area!! You guys, the menu is EXTENSIVE and I was genuinely impressed by the variety of options offered. I've always loved the food catered by Priscilla and can't tell you enough how phenomenally good it is. OH and the presentation is absolutely gorgeous all the time! The attention to detail is *chef's kiss.* Another huge plus is the response time. Priscilla is SO easy to work with and our events have been perfection every time. She is really thoughtful and creative. I'm so grateful to have found a reliable catering company and I will always choose Passion for Catering! read more

Priscilla was SO awesome!!!!! She worked with me for my budget, and the BBQ sliders I ordered for the Baby Shower I hosted was PERFECT! They didn't just taste amazing, they LOOKED incredible! And she packed the BBQ sauce separately so the sliders stayed crisp and didn't get soggy. That takes some foresight to think through! I can tell she was detail oriented. After working with her, I understand why her catering company is named passion, because you can clearly tell she cares so much about the work she does. I so appreciate her thoughtfulness, and I'm so excited I found a good caterer in the East Bay! Highly recommend! Highlights: - delicious & aesthetically presented food - competitive pricing - responsive & communicative - thoughtful & reliable What more could you ask for? :) read more

My niece used this catering company. I loved it. I wanted to use this person. I called a couple of times. I never got a call back. It got to a point where I'm done. read more

*Late Review* I had high expectations for this catering company. Unfortunately, I had reached out to Priscilla many times before and she pretty much ghosted me. Then my manager reached out and she literally worked with her to setup a catering venue for the same company and venue I had tried to scheduled for. The sad part was I had high expectations because of the great reviews. Not the case. Now for the food...the food was not good. It was as if it had sat out all night and delivered in the late morning. The display (flowers) were dried out and the food was also. I was embarrassed to present this to my Executives as well as all the employees. I really wanted to give her a chance but never again. read more

I reached out to Passion for Catering because I wanted to celebrate the completion of my pharmacy residency program. They were prompt in replying and asked me questions to clarify what I wanted in detail (e.g., amount of each food item, flavors for drinks, etc.). Frankly, I am grateful that they were able to accommodate my requests as I booked them last minute. With the turnaround that they had, I was surprised on how well the catering had turned out. The team notified me that the whole roasted pig (lechon) that I had requested may pose some issues; however, they kept me posted with updates and the team delivered the whole lechon as requested. My celebration was a success as my guests enjoyed the food and drinks. To-go containers were also provided, which my guests appreciated. I will be sure to book Passion for Catering again in the future. read more

I inquired with Passion for Catering for a very special occasion and they did not respond to my emails or calls at all. It's been over a week now and nothing. Such a shame a local, small business missed the mark on several occasions here. Luckily we're able to give business to another small business catering company in the bay. read more

Priscilla is the best catering company I have found by far in the East Bay! I've had her for my son's baby shower and also for my daughter's memorial. Her statement is to make her customers friends and that's exactly what it feels like. After I had my son, she brought me a charcuterie box of goodies. I was warmed by her thoughtfulness and kind gesture. She would invite us to pop ups which were a great opportunity for us to try her food before our big day and she never disappoints. Her smoked turkey is really good, her Chicken Florentine sauce is amazing and her tri tip is really delicious and tender. My husband raves about her lobster rolls and her seafood boil is awesome too! My family loves her meatballs; either flavor is a hit! Her fruits are always fresh and in season. Her charcuterie boards and tables are always so pretty and delicious - if I could, I'd only order this hehe. Her displays are always breathtaking -- you can tell she cares about the details. Her catering services come with the whole package; you don't really have to go anywhere else for your needs. For both events, my family has requested her number, her contact info, her IG page wondering if she would service outside of the east bay. She is highly coveted in my family. We try to create family gatherings just so we can book her haha. Even the biggest critics in my family love her work. What stands out the most, though, is Priscilla is really down to earth and accommodating. She is kind and patient through the process. You can tell she is a hard worker and makes her food with love. If you cook, you'll understand what I mean. She takes time to make sure everything is good. She cares about what's attached to her name. When I lost my daughter, I was looking around for a certain caterer because my husband wanted a certain kind of food. I ended up asking Priscilla because I trusted her and she replied back on short notice. It was even on her heart to throw in desserts (which everyone loved and left no crumbs) for me and she made sure we had plenty. Unfortunately, I moved out of the east bay, but I'd be willing to host events in the bay just to have her cater me I always tell my husband, I'd like to book Priscilla before she gets famous and out of reach for us common folk lol. But knowing Priscilla, she will probably stay in touch with those she has made friends with and cater when possible. She's that good! I pray God continues to bless her business and her abundance in these uncertain times. She's so kind to people, it's only right that it comes back to her ten-fold. read more

My husband and I have a huge family which we have a hard time accommodating to when it comes to special events. My daughter ma third birthday had been stressing me out for quite a while. Yet again, we decided to have Passion for catering hired to help us out and they never disappoint. The setup was extremely efficient, on time, beautiful, organized and beyond what my daughter ever imagined her birthday to be. The food selection was exceptional and the dishes used were perfect for a princess theme. Straight out of a fairy tale story!!! I highly recommend anyone go to their website and see for yourself not to mention Priscilla is the hardest hands on small business owner I have known!! read more

This is the most dedicated caterer out there! She really works her ass off to make these orders and events not only presentable, beautiful, but also taste amazing!

Passion for catering in an understatement. I continue to look forward to watching her business thrive and where this leads her. I promise you her and her team will never let you down. Amazing pricing and portion sizes. Dependable, flexible to meet the expectations, and eager to make your vision and event turn out amazing! read more

Priscilla was great and offers a variety of menu options and cuisines. She catered my New Orleans celebration in Danville with approprirate authenticity. Her servers were very diligent and kept a large party of 60 right on track. The food was great. Priscilla made numerous adjustments and tolerated my tendency to be "high maintenance". Her fruit plates are colorful, plentiful and got rave reviews. I am sorry I didn't order dessert from her. Highly reccomend her. read more

What a fantastic experience working with Pricilla and her team. She was highly professional and communicated and accommodated all of our needs. The food was beyond amazing and fed our significant event. Her service was top-notch, and I will exclusively use and recommend her team for future events. - San Jose Fire Fighters read more

From beginning to end, Priscilla has been such a joy to work with! During our first call, we had a chat about what I was thinking for the party, then when I changed the menu a few weeks later, she was totally understanding. The ordering process and back and forth communication was seamless. The day of the event, our order was delivered on time and in bags that kept the meals warm and the salad chilled until our guests arrived. (We'll be returning the bags to them soon - I was just grateful that they were willing to lend them to us. I ordered various BBQ boxed meals for a birthday party at the park, and it was a major hit! Everyone loved the food! So much so that, turns out I had ordered way too many because of some no shows, BUT all of the boxes were gone at the end of the party! From the salads, to the kids meals, to the salmon BBQ, vegan BBQ, and meat BBQ boxes - ALL GONE! Everyone was excited to be able to bring some home. Thanks for a great catering experience, Priscilla and team! read more

I found Passion for Catering online when I was planning our corporate event. From the first inquiry, Priscilla was fantastic, personable, and friendly. On the day of the event, she and her team were excellent. The setup was so beautiful, and the food was delicious everyone was in awe. I heard so many compliments about the food and desserts; everything I tasted was beautifully prepared and delicious. Priscilla and her team did an exceptional job. I recommend Passion for Catering to anyone looking for catering services. Indeed they are the very best! Denise Tapia- Vadara Quartz Love is in the Air Gallery Event. read more

Passion for Catering is PHENOMENAL! I had the honor of working with Priscilla to cater some charcuterie boxes I planned to hand out to guests at my drive by birthday celebration. She was incredibly prompt in her responses, listened to my preferences, was very patient, and had amazing ideas too. The boxes she prepared were gorgeous and I received so many compliments from my drive by guests. They felt spoiled because the boxes were so beautiful. Priscilla worked with me on pricing, which was very reasonable and I didn't have to sacrifice on food quality at all. She is so generous that she made me a few extra boxes at no additional cost and even made me a special birthday box and some mini cakes as a gift to me. So kind! Honestly, beyond the delicious food, the best thing about Passion for Catering is Priscilla. As soon as I started working with her, I immediately knew she was hard working and has a heart of gold. It has been a couple weeks since my celebration and I keep wishing I had another event to plan so I can work with her again. I'm so happy I found Passion for Catering and will be seeking Priscilla's services for future catering needs. read more

Covid unfortunately cancelled my Wedding in May 2020. I was a mess trying to replan and have a memorable and safe celebration. We were able to change our Plan A & B wedding to Plan C, which was a small and intimate backyard Air Bnb Wedding in Fremont in November 2020. I was so excited to meet Priscilla through my mom, who had met her at another event that Priscilla catered. Priscilla helped us plan everything for our menu, our wedding cake and was even able to help us rent tables, chairs and heat lamps for our outdoor wedding. Her food was amazing and she presented everything so beautifully for us. We were busy taking pictures with our wedding party and I walked inside to see such a breathtaking display. We are already trying to plan the next time Priscilla and her team can cater for our family. Thank you again for helping make our Fairytale Pandemic Wedding so memorable and special! read more

*A woman owned business and local! Of course I had to try. Priscilla was a gem to work with. Extremely professional and got back to me promptly. We hired her to cater our daughter's 1st birthday. A "Where the wild things are" theme. We did a brunch menu and the food was absolutely delicious. Breakfast Enchilladas, French Toast casserole, Chorizo & egg scramble along with meats, fruits, and other delicious pastries. Our guests went back for seconds (and thirds!). She even set us with a great coffee & hot cocoa bar. From set up to clean up everything was a breeze. We will definitely hire her again for another family event and will continue to recommend her services to other friends & family. read more

Priscilla has been my go-to caterer for my corporate events BEFORE she started her own business. I continue to be a loyal customer since she launched this company. She has always been detailed oriented when it comes to the presentation, the ingredients, the delivery. She will work with any dietary requests. I have had her Keto-friendly breakfasts. She has also put together individual meals for my guests with unique dietary restrictions. Passion4Catering has catered my corporate events, lunches, breakfast, happy hour. During COVID, she creatively curated lunch boxes and delivered them throughout the Bay Area in time for our Zoom calls. Since then, I've started using her for personal events (baby shower, retirement party). When I have an event coming up, I reference their IG for inspiration and let her know which set-up or menu I want for mine. I highly recommend Passion for Catering no matter how big or small your gathering may be. read more

Yelp review Contracting Passion for Catering has been a dream! Priscilla took the time to hear out what I envisioned for my son's 1st birthday, and she made it a reality. We openly discussed budget. I never felt pressured to go above my budget. I ended up using her venue in Hayward. The space was perfect for my 50 guests. She even made sure there was a safe area for kids to play (which was very important for me). The food and desserts were delicious! But she didn't stop at the food. With my budget, I didn't expect her to contribute to the decorations. But she went above and beyond to make sure everything looked great and that my vision was realized. read more

Definitely recommend contacting Priscila and getting a quote for ANY of your catering needs, large or small! Have an idea? Reach out and they'll make it happen. We all know 2020 has forced us to reevaluate how we do things and find creative ways to get together, without actually getting together. Passion for Catering has helped me with fundraising events at my son's preschool were they've provided wonderful snack boxes (grab-n-go) style! Perfect for snacking on during a zoom meeting or enjoying with family. Supporting a local school and business during this time has been awesome, win-win. I've also recently ordered a cheese platter for Christmas and it was AMAZING! My family could not stop talking about how gorgeous (and delicious) it was.
