Alright, I have no idea what took me this long to write a review for A Catered Affair, because it might honestly be my favorite overall restaurant in Omaha. They've been known for their catering forever, which means they buy in bulk, and when they decided to open up a café I was overjoyed. Now I probably visit 1-2 times a month (if not more), and somehow I love it more every time. The café is small and quaint, so it definitely gets busy during peak lunch and dinner hours, but it is worth the wait tenfold. Prices are fantastic thanks to their catering side of the business. You can even check out the counter with cold entrees to take home at amazing prices, and don't get me started on the pastries. Incredible, amazing. Get the lemon bar and thank me later. The café itself has everything you could want: drinks, adult beverages, coffee, salads, sandwiches, seafood, and yes, breakfast all day. I've been obsessed with their newer salmon orzo plate, which is currently around 22 dollars and would easily be 35-45 dollars anywhere else. Their appetizers are all delicious and actually filling. The Caesar salad is my favorite in the city and everything is scratch made. The owners clearly love their business and it shows. They're often out chatting with customers and making sure each visit feels top notch. For some people it might feel a little "out of the way," but for me in northwest Omaha I'm just grateful it is in my area, and either way it is absolutely worth the drive or commute. I could go on and on, but when you do go, say hi if you see me there, because there's a good chance I'll be at a corner table happily eating something. read more

Wow! A real find with interesting, quality food. I had the chicken bowl and really loved it. My girlfriend had the meatloaf and she loved it. We had a nice white wine. We shared a piece of cheesecake. read more

Green goddess salad was, as my granddaughter says, Spendiforous! Take out counter for various foods and baked treats looked mouth watering. Hidden gem on State Street, and one of the few places being immediately added to my regular rotation! read more

One of the best meals we had in Omaha! Everything at A Catered Affair tasted incredibly fresh and was packed with flavor. We tried the tender flight with three different flavors, plus the fry flight with three types of seasoned fries and four dipping sauces -- such a fun way to try a little bit of everything! We sat outside on the patio, but the inside is beautiful too. And definitely don't leave without checking out the pastry and dessert case! We took a few treats with us and they were SO good. Highly recommend adding this spot to your Omaha list! read more

I would say this is a hidden gem in the Omaha Bennington location. A great selection of food that is very well thought out a little bit of home. A little bit away from the city is always a good thing in this location is perfect. The presentation of the food is phenomenal as you'll see in the pictures. A nice selection of bakery items to take on the go. Service was prompt and very quick quicker than I expected. They have a nice outdoor setting if the weather allows you with a good overhang to keep you out of the sun in a good amount of tables on the inside for both couples and family. Most definitely a place I will come back to again. read more

A new place in Omaha for me to try. A Catered Affair - catering company and cafe, bakery. We enjoyed dinner there. There is even a happy hour menu with lots to choose from. The food was served hot, fresh and delicious. Bakery items were above the desserts but too high for me to see or take pics. I hope to come here again on my next trip out. Ok, bye. read more

We went back for more brunch at A Catered Affair, and it was just as good as the last time! Food was super fresh and you could tell it was made from scratch. I would skip the hash brown casserole next time, but everything else was superb. The fries are coated and not gluten free, but they did have a gluten free bread that I was able to use with my sandwich. The waitress was very attentive and it looks like they added more tables since the last time I went. It still is on the smaller side, but since the weather was nice, we were able to grab a seat outside and enjoy their beautiful patio. Overall once of my favorite hidden places to go for brunch. read more

I recently learned that you can stop in here for a meal, and had to check it out. This is one of the best brunch spot I've been to in Omaha!! The price point is impressive for the quality of food you get. Every plate we got was absolutely delicious, incredibly fresh, and absolutely beautiful to look at too! The fries were the perfect texture, came out piping hot, and with four different ales to choose from! I had the salmon bagel, and the quality of the salmon was absolutely amazing, I couldn't believe it for $12! Sides were also very fresh, and complemented the meal perfectly. The bagel had the right amount of crispiness for the meal! I had a cinnamon roll for dessert, and this could've been the size of about three cinnamon rolls at most other places! I asked for extra frosting, and they gave me plenty. The taste was absolutely amazing-- I need to come back just for this! The staff was very friendly, we had a service dog, and a baby with us. Although they only had two high chairs with her both in use, as soon as one was free, we got to use it. The meal did take a little bit of time to come out, but I'm guessing it's a pretty small kitchen, since the café seating itself is a small area. We enjoyed the shaded patio, and it was crowded both inside and out during our visit! Overall, this is a highly underrated spot in Omaha in my opinion!! I wish it was more of a central location, is that maybe it totally deterrent. I will definitely be coming back as soon as I have the chance!! read more

We came here for an order pickup, and needed to stay while they finished it. While we did, we looked around and each had a cocktail. Charming shop! They serve meals, have coffee service for takeout or stay in, have a number of tasty-looking pastries, drinks (alcohol and not), and are very enjoyable while providing such. The seating is good, and in better weather there is an outdoor patio areas that faces west. Must come back and try that. Parking is easy in their lot. Will definitely return. read more

Super cute location! Service was great and food selection was good! All our meals were great!

we've been a handful of times and the food and service is always great. One of the things that is unique about a catered affair is you can both get dine in food as well as get already made prepared food to take home and eat for the next few days - they have things ranging from cooked chicken, shrimp, a platter of chicken enchiladas, etc. read more

Come for breakfast - stay for dinner. You will not be disappointed. Not my first review of ACA but I absolutely love this place. Came here for a quick appetizer and got the spinach and artichoke dip. Not only was it delicious but the presentation is so pretty. They go out of their way to make a visual statement. Trying their Italian sausage and cheese stuffed shells to go. I've heard it's fantastic too! read more

Incredible! I've been looking for a a good Caesar wrap in Omaha for years! My favorite one is in nyc & comes cold but their Crunchy Caesar Wrap may have that one beat! Delicious, high quality, great Caesar dressing, and I'll definitely be going out of my way for this. 2 years ago I made a spreadsheet with my friend to find the top Caesar salad in Omaha, and this may have the entire list beat. The house chips are basic but good, I was told to try them with the ranch which was solid too. The mini cheesecake bites are delicious too and not too heavy. Texture is more whipped than dense. I've also had the Cali chicken sandwich and the chipotle melt. Both also very good but I'd opt toward the Caesar. The one thing I'd skip here is the burger. Too saucy for me, there are other spots I prefer for burgers and this menu has been items to try. The service is super fast and very kind! And the vibe in the restaurant is very relaxed and welcoming. read more

I have never had a bad meal here! I love the sandwiches, and my boyfriend loves the salads. This is one of our favorite places to get breakfast. I definitely recommend. :) Side Note: the sandwiches are a little messy (they like to sauce it up), so be prepared if you decide to get one. read more

I'd been curious about trying their catering and ordered some appetizers for a small holiday party. I do wish they offered a one-dozen option instead of a two-dozen minimum, as it was more food than we needed. There was a mix-up with the pickup date, so I had to wait about 20-30 minutes, but they were apologetic and offered a free drink, which was a nice touch. The food was good, and the restaurant itself is small and cute. If I host a larger gathering in the future, I'd use their catering again. It's a bit of a drive for me since it's in Bennington, but overall a good experience. read more

We had a fantastic experience with A Catered Affair for our department annual awards ceremony. They managed multiple deliveries across campus flawlessly - everything was prompt, accurate, and stress-free. Communication was excellent, the team was professional, and the food was fresh and beautifully presented. Our entire administrative department agreed they've set the bar for what an outstanding caterer should be. Highly recommend! read more

I went to brunch with my friends at A Catered Affair, and we had a wonderful time! I brought my toddler along as well, and they were very accommodating. I got the breakfast burrito, and iced vanilla latte, and my friends and I shared the fry flight and all were delicious. For my daughter, I ordered a side of avocado and a side of fruit. She loved it! We sat on the patio, which was covered and perfect for a warm morning. read more

Started with Artichoke dip and bread that was Fabulous!! Then a round of Rubens, all with different sides we shared. The fries and chips were the real deal. The Rubens were hearty and perfectly layered with what must have been homemade sour kraut, fresh and crunchy. The meat, cheese and sauce were perfect. Bread complimented its layers deliciously. Truffle fries, regular fries, potato chips all were excellent and full flavor. Smoked beef chili was hearty and packed a little punch. So good! Loved our waitress, Julie B--thank you for being attentive as well as helpful in ordering! Obviously, you sold us on everything. Very quaint place, comfortable seating at tables, open atmosphere but felt homey and welcoming. Iced Tea, soda and coffee were delicious and kept full. We shared Lemon Bars and Blondie for sweet nibble dessert- forgot pics of those! Great but we were sooo full already. Our leftovers packed up and added on some other things from their case of takeaways. The variety was incredible from salads to entrees to sides and of course sweets. Way too much to take in on our first visit. We will definitely be BACK!!! read more

Drove north yesterday to give this place a try. And it didn't disappoint. Only negative is the room is ambient so it was loud as they were busy. Service is outstanding! So prompt, attentive and friendly. We ordered the chips with homemade salsa / short rib queso. Was pretty damn good ! I had the French dip and it was Delicious! Finally a place in Omaha understands you're supposed to dip the hoagie in the Au jus before building the sandwich. So flavorful! The house made chips perfect . Look forward to coming back for breakfast here. read more

Good food, delicious menu. Very nice staff that cater to your needs. Typical cafe sitting with typical restaurant affairs. My wife bought a cinnamon roll which I thought was kinda bland. Maybe luck of the draw. read more

I don't drive out West/North often, but I'd make a special trip just for this place. Walking in, you immediately notice the bright, well decorated space that feels like a little farmhouse cafe. We were greeted right away and directed to seat ourselves. The waitress came over quickly and took our drink orders while we pondered on the menu. I ended up with a hot vanilla latte and the breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. While I wished the bagel was a little chewier on the outside, it was really soft and flavorful. The eggs were fluffy and the bacon was crunchy and slightly sweet which perfectly balanced the salty of the bagel. My friend got the same sandwich on the XL biscuit and she raved about the biscuit, reporting it as buttery and flakey. We were eyeing all the sweets in the case but made the mistake of filling up on our main dishes so that's a must when we return! read more

This is a small little brunch place that's packed with warmth. The servers are very friendly and the food is fresh and flavorful. I've had the breakfast sandwich with everyday croissant and cured salmon and it's the perfect combination. The bacon was a bit dry but the egg is moist so it's great. The cured salmon is fresh and I would totally come back again read more

Husband and I went about 1 PM on a Saturday. It was busy, but there was not a wait. I had the California chicken sandwich. It was delicious! Hubby had the French dip, said it was delicious and even enjoyed the horseradish cream on the side. Service was excellent, the server very friendly, food came out hot and timely. We took a couple cookies home for dessert and they were delicious as well. read more

On our latest trip back to Omaha, we stopped in for a birthday brunch on Easter Sunday.

This restaurant has become one of my new favorites! The first time I had the "Ma Meatloaf". Ive never had a meatloaf quite like it. It was served open face on a piece of delicious bread, then a layer of grilled onions, topped with mashed potatoes and a light gravy. The second time ,I had the French Dip, and was, again possibly the best French Dip i have ever had. It was served with au jus and a very mild yet tasteful horseradish sauce. I opted for the truffle fries, because who can go wrong with that??? I left the 2nd tine with a delicious lemon bar. They serve breakfast all day, have a pretty extensive bakery. You can just walk in and get something for lunch/dinner from the deli case. Great service, excellent food, and spotless restrooms. . When we have dined over the lunch it was always at , or just about capacity. But, you never felt rushed. It has a quaint ambience with a lot of hustle from the staff! read more

This was my first time at A Catered Affair, but it definitely won't be the last. The space is open and clean, but be aware that seating is limited. I debated between the croissant sandwich and the grilled cheese for a long time, but I ended up going with the grilled cheese with truffle fries on the side. The sandwich was AMAZING, with a combo of cheddar and gruyere cheese and fig jam. The truffle fries were fantastic, although I would have liked a little more parmesan on the top. My mom and grandma got the croissant sandwich and BLTA. Both looked fantastic and were HUGE portions. Also to note, the prices are VERY low for the amount of food you are receiving. This spot is definitely worth a visit! read more

If you haven't tried this gem of a cafe, you are missing out! My sister told me about this place after they catered a work event of hers, and I was game to try it out, and I am so glad that I did. First off, the interior is adorable. It had a bit of a farmhouse flair with a touch of boho and some modern elements thrown in. This isn't a big venue, but they did a great job with their seating. The walls are adorned with artwork that I believe you can purchase. They also have some curated goods for sale as well, that seem to switch with the seasons, etc. There is a big table up front with all kinds of goodies from mugs and hand towels to niche sauces and seasonings, etc. I had just as much fun looking at the items for sale as I did trying the menu. But I digress. The real star here is the food. I am a breakfast gal and could eat breakfast food for every meal. So, of course, I gravitated towards their breakfast menu, which they serve ALL DAY. Cha-ching! I ended up ordering the herbed baked eggs, which were served in an adorable mini cast iron skillet. (Innovative and fun food presentation really does it for me, and this did not disappoint!) The eggs were perfectly seasoned and baked and were delicious. That toasted sourdough bread, though? Out of this world. It was buttery toasted perfection! The perfect companion to the baked eggs. So now we have an adorable venue, amazing food and the best service. I wish I had caught our servers name, but she was an utter delight! She was friendly, helpful with the menu, and attentive without being overbearing. She definitely made our visit (and the 2nd one, which will come in another review). The location may be a bit out of the way, but it is well worth it. As far as I'm concerned, this is one of Omaha's best kept little secrets, and one I both want to sing from the rooftops but also keep to myself. read more

We were familiar with ACÁ, as they catered my oldest sons wedding dinner a year ago. What we were not familiar with was the delectable offerings that are available at their cafe just off of state street in northwest Omaha. The cafe is open for breakfast and lunch from 7:00 am until 5:00 pm which works great if you want to grab breakfast sweets or entrees on your way to work or meet friends for breakfast or lunch. The grab and go items in the display case were portioned large and looked scrumptious. Our server helped us make selections from the menu. I had the Baja pork belly tacos and my husband opted for the short rib sandwich with fries. The three tacos were full of meat and the slaw filler was a beautiful presentation. My husband's sandwich was so thick and filling that he took half of it home. The accompanying aoli sauce was a nice touch and added a punch of flavor. We could not resist the pastries and took home a blueberry cinnamon roll that we microwaved at home and devoured for a late evening snack. Beautiful artwork from local artists and the owner's son adorn the walls. The bright airy dining area opens to seasonal outdoor dining and also has displays with seasonings, sauces and other items for sale. Our food was delicious, our server (Kiana?) was excellent and we are already talking about what we will order on our next trip. We hope to take advantage of the grab and go meals for four and awesome pastries! A Catered Affair has a lot to offer to the food scene in Omaha. read more

Oh goodness, I just don't even know where to start. This place is really good. If you are looking for a chill environment then this is your place! I will start off by saying that if you are thinking "cafe" as in cheap, hole in the wall place, this is not for you. This is definitely more high end and they are pretty pricey for breakfast in my opinion. Nothing on their breakfast menu was that great to me. We tried their burrito and sandwich and both were just meh to us. HOWEVER, the real winner at the place are their bakery items and their appetizers. I know you are probably thinking, appetizers are the best thing? YES, YES they are! First, let's start with my ABSOLUTE fave, their Goat Cheese Balls.... OMG I am seriously dreaming about them right now. They are FANTASTIC. The dip under them with the crunchies is to die for. Next up their Firecracker Shrimp, it is soooo good. Generous portion and mouth watering. Next up, their Crab Rangoon Dip... it's good, you can tell they use real crab... but it's missing something. I'm not sure what, but there is something missing in it that doesn't give that wow factor. Now let's move on to their fry flight. They give you four sauces to dip which I love because I am a huge dip person, but they barely give you any fries. Fries are cheap friends, load em up! Finally, their cinnamon rolls. OMG they are truly out of this world amazing. I have tried them all but the Nutella and Espresso ones have my heart. Also, their service there is really good. The waitresses are so nice and seem to truly love the food they serve too which is always nice. read more

I have been talking about wanting to go to the catered affair cafe for so long and I was finally able to with my mom and sisters the other morning, and let me just say... it did NOT disappoint, but exceeded my expectations. Having done wedding photography for so long, I always loved when couples would have catered affair, but was thrilled when it was offered as a cafe where I could go anytime!! Yippee! I digress.. let's dig Into the review. FOOD : First of all.. can we talk about the affordability?! How relieving!! Gosh, made it even more tempting to make a pit stop for brunch here weekly. I ordered the firecracker chicken because I couldn't ignore the raving reviews and popularity it has. You guys.. it was PHENOMENAL. I want the recipe STAT! I am drooling as I am typing, how embarrassing. The chicken was perfectly tender and baked to just the right amount of juiciness, I didn't get any gross chewy parts of the chicken and it tasted quality. It was even a bit charred which was the cherry on top. I got it on sourdough bread and MMM, was it good. Everything from the sauce to the chicken and bread was perfect, and worked together so beautifully. I sat in silence for 10 minutes while I gobbled it down because I wanted to soak in every bit of it... lol! I got the house chips as the side and they also were fabulous. What's better than house made chips!? Delicious. My sister got the herbed egg bake with sourdough and couldn't stop talking about how great it was -- actually most at the table tried it and loved it. My other sister got the stunning avocado toast and said it was lovely. Lastly, my mom got the southern egg sandwich and like us all - loved it. The only downer I will add is that my sister got a side of the butternut squash soup and just wasn't a huge fan. Nothing in particular but just overall wasn't in love with it. Lastly, my sister got a coffee and it was $3!! You guys!! I love how affordable it is! What a gem of a spot, hope it stays that way! ATMOSPHERE / STAFF : One of my favorite parts about CA is that it has a beautiful atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. Tall ceilings, giant windows & lots of natural light, beautiful local artists work hanging all over the walls - just stunning. It feels artful and inspiring simply to be there. The staff is so down to earth and helpful, they make you feel right at home. TIPS : if you go here, just go all in. I know you think you might want a soup, but you don't. Get a sandwich. Get something worth it!! You'll be much happier. Another tip go keep in mind is that a lot is cooked in soybean oil, but I believe they will cook in butter if requested. Lastly, get here at a good time if it's a popular hour like lunch or a weekend, because it fills up fast!! This is a poppin spot for good reason, first come first serve. You can also order simply at the counter and leave if you'd like as well. If I haven't convinced you yet, I don't know what else to say -- they give you cucumber water, not just regular water. HEELLLOOO!? It's magnificent here in every way. Just come. You won't regret it. read more

I've been wanting to go try this place for so long, but it's so far out that I never found the time. Fortunately, I had my opportunity yesterday and I'm so sad I waited so long. It's truly just a beautiful, cute cafe/coffee shop in the middle of nowhere. The inside is inviting, spacious, airy, and beautifully designed. The staff were friendly and warm- reminded me of the greeting staff you'd find at a big non-denom church. I was just in awed the whole time by how cozy, quiet this place was and why it wasn't busier. The food was great too- especially the prices given the world we now live in. Most items were still in that $9-$12 range where you can't find an entree for less than $15 anywhere else. The food came out within a reasonable amount of time and the portions were more than enough. Plus, they serve Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner all day so you can get an omelet for dinner if you choose or a burger for breakfast. Overall, the tuna salad sandwich I got was OK. The tuna was lacking mayo (if it had any at all) and was more like a "Tuna Piccata" since it had capers- different twist, but welcome. My son got the burger and it came with a double patty and tons of fries- definitely a value by today's standards. Wish we would've had room to try some dessert or some of the baked goods in the window...but I guess that just means I'll have to come back. Two Suggestion to the Business: 1. Maybe add a kids menu if possible. 2. Advertise Wifi (if its free) because I could see this being a great spot to work from. read more

Great local restaurant & catering location. The food was great, wish I had more bagel on my salmon platter, they had so much yummy items on the platter I ran out of bread with it! My mom didn't really enjoy the broccoli cheese soup it was not soupy and not liquidy. Her sandwich was good, the yolk was runny and she would order it hard next time so it was less messy. Cinnamon roll & Apple Macchiato we're delicious fall time treats. They have a parking lot and outdoor & indoor seating. They also do catering and daily specials so check out their website! read more

The food is amazing, the service is to notch, and it's a relaxing environment. Always enjoyable!

We stopped by catered affair for a birthday brunch with a party of five. The service was outstanding! Our waitress went out of her way to accommodate anything we needed and was very friendly. As far as food, everyone at our table was impressed! I had the breakfast burrito and then other ordered meals were the Reuben and two breakfast sandwiches. We also munched on a cinnamon role and a piece of avocado toast. Everything was delicious! The Bloody Mary had the flavor to earn itself a spot on my Top 5 Omaha Bloody Mary list, despite not having a bunch of treats that came with it. I heard great reviews from the table about their Mimosas as well, made with fresh squeezed Orange Juice. My only complaint is the noise level but you can't help having a busy crowd. Wouldn't be my first choice just to catch up with a one-on-one conversation because of the noise. Will definitely recommend though moving forward! read more

This place is absolutely incredible from the coffee the cocktails the breakfast lunch. You cannot go wrong with any of the items!

We selected ACA as our wedding caterers, so it may seem a bit biased when my family, my husband, and I say the food was amazing. However, our guests also RAVED about the food so we know ACA nailed it! The vinaigrette they used on the salad still has my mouth watering, and the steak and salmon both were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Not to mention, the ACA team was working out of a relatively new kitchen and venue, and they were tasked with preparing, plating, and serving food to 300+ guests! Their execution was masterful and we are so grateful for their services. Also worth mentioning - my mom and I have eaten at their brick-and-mortar location a handful of times. The food, ambience, and staff are fantastic. Definitely check it out!! read more
