We couldn't be more thrilled with the service, food, and organization for our party that we had from Fraiche. We felt super secure with Mitch and the stellar cooks, servers, and bartending that Fraiche provided. The clean up was first rate as well! Thanks to Diane for guiding us through the process that help us make the important decisions for the evening. Her clear presentation of the Fraiche Catering portfolio led us in the right direction in making it a memorable party. The food was all top notch and beautifully presented with watchful yet unobtrusive staff who kept dining tables and everything else looking clean throughout the evening. Thanks to all the staff who made everyone feel happy to be at the party with their warm and helpful style. read more

We recently partnered with Fraiche Catering for a corporate event, and they were fantastic to work with from start to finish. I work with many vendors, and their team truly stood out for their professionalism, attentiveness, and seamless execution. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly proactive throughout the event, constantly refreshing stations, interacting with guests, and answering questions without ever needing direction from our team. They were also extremely accommodating with dietary restrictions and preferences, which we really appreciated. One of the biggest compliments I can give is that I never once had to track someone down or ask for support onsite; the Fraiche team was always on top of everything. They made the event feel effortless and elevated, and I would absolutely recommend them for corporate events. read more

These guys are one of the top catering companies I have worked with over the past few years. Diane was a rockstar as she never made us feel shaky or nervous for our event, as she had everything ready to go and prepared a few days out, even through a very busy event season. If you need to reach out to her, she was always responding and making sure we were prioritized and felt like well-treated customers. I truly admire her passion and care towards her clients! If you are looking for an A++ catering team, Diane and Fraiche are the ones! read more

We had full confidence in our event knowing we were in great hands with Diane and her team. They were outstanding communicators, flexible as our plans for the event evolved, and the food was fantastic. We look forward to working with them again! read more

Really nice team to work with. We used them for food, bar and ice cream bar. The ice cream bar was really special. The food was excellent and the bartenders were fun. The whole event was so great because of them. We used them at the Exploratorium and they knew how to do everything so that it was so easy for me. read more

We used Fraiche daily for a large gathering that was a week long. The food was scrumptious and original. We had spent a month looking for the right caterer because our group ranged in age from 16 - over 70 years of age. We had four geographic areas and distinct cultures represented. Our group included different kinds of palates. I was amazed at how I was able to stretch their willingness to try new things and that is because of Fraiche. Fraiche did an amazing job of making food that everyone loved and in some cases - earned to love. And they were flexible!!!!! And they responded to last minute requests. read more

I had a beautiful Father's Day meal delivered yesterday from Fraiche Catering. I've been to an event catered by Fraiche and was so impressed with the food. When I found out they were doing family meals during Covid shelter in place, I thought I'd definitely give them a try. What better time than to order a meal to celebrate Father's Day. The online order process was really simple and I received an immediate confirmation email with a delivery window. I called a few days later in the evening to convey a food allergy, and they called me back the following morning to discuss and alleviate my concerns. The dinner was delivered in sealed boxes. Upon opening, I found the meals packed and displayed beautifully amongst a dried flower arrangement and menus of our meal. Each dish was labeled with easy to follow heating/handling instructions. Dishes that needed heating were packed in heatable containers, so I didn't need to dirty a bunch of dishes during this process, yay for less cleanup! We had a couple steaks in our box and I was a little concerned I wouldn't heat them properly for how my hubby and I prefer different steak levels of "done-ness"but hallelujah they were done perfectly after following Fraiche instructions!!! His med-rare and mine medium. -Shrimp cocktail app-perfect! Happy tails were removed! -Arugula Corn Salad- refreshing, sweet and amazing flavors. Bacon was a nice touch. -Lobster roll- succulent lobster, herb butter yumminess. I wish I would've toasted the roll before loading it up. -Sage crusted steaks-perfectly done. Steak sauce provided was also very tasty. -Chipotle roasted potatoes-tangy and delicious -Summer squash with Parmesan- squash was great. We're not huge zucchini fans, so there was more squash eaten than zucchini. -peach blueberry cobbler- so adorable in their tiny pot and delicious. Not too sweet. -Chocolate soufflé- absolutely divine. We topped with vanilla ice cream and everyone loved it. Can't wait to try Fraiche again. read more

Wonderful experience with this fantastic team! The food was amazing, the staff were so lovely. Every detail was taken care of and we were able to just enjoy the evening and our guests. Highly recommend! read more

I worked with Fraiche Catering for my niece & nephew's B'nei Mitzvah and they did an amazing job! I first worked with Yvonne who created custom menus to go with the Good Place party theme (she was so detailed!) and then I worked with Mia. Both were really responsive & very helpful! Fast forward to day of, the team onsite was awesome! Chris was the lead event coordinator and he was so detailed. He made sure everything was setup beautifully and checked in throughout the night. Lastly the food was delicious! We had three passed hors d'oeuvres and then three stations for dinner. For hors d'oeuvres the short rib croquettes were a favorite of mine but at least a dozen guests sought me out to rave about the shrimp. For stations some of the highlights (but not all) were the blackened ribeye skewers, the birra beef tacos and the Mac and cheese. read more

We just had our wedding and there are not enough positive things I can say about Fraiche catering. From selecting the menu, doing our tasting, to the big event there was not one miss. Diane and Mitch were extremely communicative and patient as we had changes and additions along the way. On our wedding day everything ran about as seamlessly as humanly possible. The entire staff was on point the entire evening. That's not to even mention the food itself, which was so delicious. Multiple wedding guests let us know this is the best food they have ever had. We cannot recommend fraiche enough! read more

I highly recommend hiring Fraiche to cater your wedding, especially if food/cooking is important to you! My husband looooooves to cook and food is a big deal in his family. Fraiche exceeded our expectations! I heard from guests and our photographers that Fraiche's food was the best wedding food they've ever had! The service was fantastic day of, but also Chi from Fraiche was super responsive and helpful every step of the planning way (especially since I've never planned a wedding, I had lots of questions!). We had our wedding at Fort Mason in Gallery 308 and Fraiche has catered many weddings there before so Chi was super helpful during the venue walkthrough on what could/should go where in terms of the buffet, bar, etc. Do yourself a favor and hire them! read more

We've chosen Fraiche for our company events in 2023, and they have always exceeded our expectations. Besides the impressive presentation and taste = of the food, the team collaborates seamlessly - from the moment they step onsite to the efficient cleanup post event. Mitch is our usual onsite catering manager and I cannot recommend him enough! read more

I'm an event planner and have used Fraiche Catering on many events for over a decade. They are my go-to caterer for weddings and special events. The food is phenomenal and the staff is top-notch. They truly care about the quality of what they are serving and how they serve it. Recently, we used them for a non-profit fundraiser and everyone was raving about the food! I couldn't recommend them enough! read more

I had the absolute best experience working with Fraiche Catering! They catered my baby shower with about 40 people and were so helpful planning and giving direction when I definitely didn't have a vision. On the day of, they were on time and went above and beyond to even help us rearrange furniture so that the set up made sense. Not to mention the food was AMAZING! Their Double Dipped Chocolate Souffle Brownie Bites (GF too!) were heavenly. Clean up / pick up was easy too. I'd love to work with them again! read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Fraiche since 2011 and they are an incredible, well-oiled machine! They continue to revamp and add to their menu offerings, which makes them dynamic for a wide range of clientele. They have the style and attention to detail that weddings require and their corporate packages are streamlined and approachable. Working with Fraiche is always a warm, full-service experience and we look forward to more collaborations in the future. read more

Hiring Fraiche to cater my wedding was the best decision I made in the entire planning process. Rachel and Mia were phenomenal! Leading up to my wedding, Rachel helped craft the menu, arrange tastings, and schedule rental and permit appointments. She was friendly, responsive and detail-oriented. Every interaction with her left me feeling like I was in good hands. During my event, Rachel, Mia and the the entire Fraiche team were attentive and organized. The food was incredible, and I don't say that lightly. I'm a picky eater with multiple food allergies and everything tasted great. We opted for passed appetizers during our cocktail hour, a buffet dinner, and a mini dessert bar. The appetizers were presented beautifully and the buffet dinner and dessert stations looked elevated with little need for extra decor. Multiple guests mentioned how great the food was, especially the risotto, short ribs, and chocolate souffle. All in all, Fraiche went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. Positive feedback all around. read more

Fraiche catered our wedding in August at the Conservatory of Flowers and everything they did was perfect! We worked with Christi and she was wonderful. She handled so much - not just food and beverages, but also tables and linens for two separate spaces, layout, timelines, wedding favors, etc. Planning went very smoothly and communication was timely. The food was amazing. We had a family-style dinner service and we heard from all of our guests that the food was a highlight. Christi and the Fraiche team also executed our beverage service exactly the way we wanted it, with specialty cocktails and a full bar. Instead of a large wedding cake we had a small cake and a few desserts, which were all a huge hit. Service staff were all extremely friendly and professional. The wedding went off without a hitch and Fraiche was a huge part of making it successful! read more

Rachel, Mia, and the whole Fraiche team did an amazing job catering our wedding. They developed an entire menu totally personalized for our brunch (we requested "Southern/Jewish/California" flavors, and they took that and created so many beautiful, delicious dishes--including shakshuka, mini-chicken & waffles, a pancake trio--you get the picture). It was the best wedding food I've ever had, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. They also pulled the whole thing together in a tight timeframe, were incredibly patient and helped us coordinate other vendors as well; they kept us on track and kept us sane. The servers and kitchen staff were absolutely lovely as well. Our compliments to the chef, and the whole team. We can't recommend Fraiche highly enough. read more

It has been three months since my wedding (July 2014) and guests are STILL coming to me to let me know that they have never had better food at a wedding- specifically, each appetizer (especially the scallops and the chicken pops), the cheese plates, the heirloom tomato salad stacked, each entree- the pancetta wrapped filet mignon and the miso butterfish, and the service... So pretty much everything. Seriously, every guest I have spoken to after the wedding has commented on the delicious food- and these are Bay Area/SF guests who are used to some gooood food! Laura and the team were such a delight to work with. I knew that everything was in good, caring, and thoughtful hands from the very beginning. Many many many thanks to Fraiche for making our wedding a truly delicious treat. read more

Fraiche Catering - Caterers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I am late in my review, but very happy to have worked with this amazing team of professionals on a company event this past November. I was struggling to get my work group's holiday event organized after traveling. To make things more complicated, we were in the middle of a last minute venue change. I wasn't sure what we could swing at that point, but shortly after I reached out to Fraiche, I received a phone call. This was the only call out of at least five different companies I had contacted. That would be the first brownie point to be followed by many others. After speaking with the event manager, we agreed on a classy and healthy menu. We met a few days later to discuss set up and finalize details. It was a pinch of this, a dash of that and the magic happened in just a few days. The staff was amazingly helpful and everything turned out great. I would highly recommend them for a special event. Thank you so much Fraiche! read more

I booked them to cater my husband's birthday party for 30 people. I chose a menu and offered to pay by credit card. They told me they'd send me a contract by email and I could pay then. No email arrived so the next week I started calling - NO return call after 2 calls/messages. The next day I started emailing them. At 5:24 p.m. I got a return email telling me they had booked another bigger event and wouldn't be able to do my party! They referred me to 2 other caterers but didn't provide contact information (and both those caterers were booked already) or check their availability. They acted like it was NO BIG DEAL!!!! Stay far away!!! This company doesn't honor its commitments!!! read more

Christi and team were beyond amazing!! Our company threw a New Year's Bash in Oakland, and everything was perfect. From the start, Christi was so easy to work with and was able to match our vision with food suggestions. All of it was delicious, but everyone was especially raving about the risotto station... super tasty! On top of that, her team was very helpful and brought their A-game. I'm looking forward to booking them again for our next event. read more

A huge thanks to the Fraiche Catering chefs and servers for a wonderful experience!! We scheduled a last minute four-course dinner, and they executed each detail flawlessly. Everything was cooked to perfection and the presentation was beautiful. The servers went above and beyond and made sure all of the guests were well taken care of. We will definitely use Fraiche Catering's services again. read more

This company is disorganized and unprofessional. There is no direction or goal. Their philosophy is throw it at the wall and see if it sticks. Their staff is non responsive and the food was all cold when delivered late. I also witnessed their staff members drinking on the side yard. I will never use this company again and heed warning to others. -T read more

Fraiche did a fabulous job catering our holiday party this year. Yvonne was very pleasant to work with and responsive, and their 5-star rating on Yelp is well-deserved. We had the risotto bar with shrimp & short ribs and fish, chicken and beef tacos. Everything was delicious, all the guests were happy. Highly recommend Fraiche. read more

We've used Fraiche Catering for multiple corporate and personal events. Sheena, Danielle and the rest of the team are super professional, quick to respond, flexible and accommodating. Their staff is always timely and proactive. Food display is beautiful and colorful.. and tastes delicious too. We've used them for lunch meetings, cocktail parties, and formal dinners... Highly recommend! read more

Thank you to Fraiche for an amazing event we had in San Francisco last week! I wanted to set up something simple for a speaker event with lite bites & drinks and they executed my vision perfectly. We had this amazing poke bar set up that our team loved + a comfort food station that had all of the favorites...mac n cheese bites, mini burgers, waffle fries, etc. HUGE HIT! Can't wait to use them again, their staff are so helpful and amazing too they even helped me set up chairs, florals, etc. Great team! read more

Fraiche Catering helped us throw an incredible book launch event at a client's home back in the fall, and we cannot wait for our next event to work with them again! Rachel helped craft a menu tailored to match the book's purpose of 'essential well being' with a delicious and filling array of food. Dessert was even better. And best of all... you wouldn't have even known they were there after everyone was gone--they left everything spotless. A+ to Fraiche, cannot recommend more! read more

I've been working with Fraiche Catering for over a year now for corporate and private events I organize. Whenever I have to recommend a caterer to a client, it's definitely Fraiche. Danielle is absolutely amazing & dynamic and so is their entire team. Fraiche's food is refined, delicious and of course, super fresh. Their staff is some of the most professional I've ever seen. Whenever Fraiche is on my team, I know we can only succeed. We only receive extremely positive feedback from our clients. Highly recommend their services! read more

My husband and I worked with Fraiche Catering for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! Our wedding was at my husband's grandparent's house on the outskirts of Walnut Creek, meaning everything had to be brought in. Danielle, with assistance from Caitlin, were super helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process, and ensured all of our rental needs were taken care of. Not only was the food delicious (guests kept raving about the bacon wrapped filet, as well as the mini hamburger appetizer), but everything from the tables to the chairs, to the linens, were just spectacular. Fraiche made it so easy on us! Highly recommended! read more

If you are searching for a great caterer who is easy to work with and makes delicious food, look no further than Fraiche. They catered my 100 person wedding in San Francisco a month ago and every single aspect of the night was perfect. Danielle is a dream to work with. She is responsive, kind, and so easy to talk to. She helped my husband and I create a menu for the wedding that was uniquely us: a hot dog and fries bar, short ribs, fried chicken, and mac & cheese. Every single person at the wedding (from 1 to 75) loved the food and kept going back for seconds and thirds. Danielle was also very helpful and knowledgeable about our venue, which was a huge relief and saved me a lot of time and unnecessary stress in the planning process. On the day of the wedding, the rest of the Fraiche team was extremely professional and tended to the needs of our guests. One of my guests asked if something was organic and a member of the Fraiche team went back to the kitchen to ask the cook team, then came back out to find my guest and give her an answer. Fraiche goes above and beyond to deliver amazing food and service. I cannot say enough great things about Fraiche and am excited to work with them for future events. And if you can, try the mac and cheese they make. It is mouth-wateringly delicious! Thanks Danielle and the Fraiche team. You are so great at what you do! read more

We used Fraiche catering for our small (40 person) wedding in October 2015. Overall, we were very pleased with the food and service that Fraiche provided. We worked most closely with Danielle, and found her to be very responsive by phone/email. The food tasting was a total blast--it was awesome to be wined and dined as they helped us select our delicious, seasonal menu. Our wedding guests really enjoyed the food, especially the desserts (the crème brûlée puffs were an especially big hit). We did have some oddities with the billing/payments to Fraiche catering. When we first started working with Fraiche they were considered the "in house" caterer for our venue. However, there were some changes during that time which caused Fraiche to bill us directly instead of through our venue. However, we chalk this up to some inefficiencies at the venue rather than issues on Fraiche's end. And, Danielle was very helpful in getting things straightened out. read more

I have worked with Fraiche Catering several times, and I cannot say enough about the level of professionalism, the quality of the product and service, and the flexibility exhibited by Danielle and her staff. We always hire Fraiche to cater our Dessert Dash events as well as other outdoor programs. Danielle makes sure that we get exactly what we want, under budget, and our clients are thrilled every time. The amazing thing about Fraiche is their ability to provide for a wide range of tastes and budgets. Many catering companies are rigid, but Fraiche is a pleasure to work with because they love to be creative. I can't recommend them anymore than 5 stars, but I can guarantee that if you have a special social or corporate occasion coming up, you'd be crazy not to talk to Danielle! read more

Fraiche catered a beautiful outdoor event for me. They helped me make choices for food, drink, decorations, duration and everything else. They were professional, executed flawlessly and the food of course, stole the show. I was nervous about throwing such a large event, and they eased my fears and took exceptional care of me and my guests. I'd highly recommend them - 5 stars. read more

We hired Fraiche to do the catering at our wedding last week, and my wife and I were extremely satisfied with everything that they did: the food was delicious, the dinner and appetizer service was impeccably performed, and the planning and communication with Danielle, Fraiche's representative, was always prompt, professional and painless. We booked a tasting with Fraiche about 4 months before the wedding was to be held, and immediately were impressed with the quality of their food & service. Danielle suggested for us to bring a couple of friends with us to the tasting, and we were so grateful to have their opinions so we could have that extra bit of confidence in our choices for entrees and appetizers. We had picked a number of things from their impressively broad menu, and everything that we tasted was delicious and fresh. At the wedding dinner itself, everything was perfectly prepared and presented, and the servers were always attentive without being underfoot. We had chosen to have the dishes served family-style, as we had a smaller, more intimate dinner, and it worked out perfectly; dishes were hot and delicious, and the platters were a perfect balance between being passable between guests and having more than enough food for each section of the dinner table. During the reception, appetizers were circulated by servers throughout, and every server was extremely professional and polite. Danielle was on site during the wedding, and helped keep everything running smoothly throughout the dinner and the reception; we simply had no issues with any aspect of the food or service throughout the entire wedding! My wife and I would definitely use Fraiche again for any event that we would have catered, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch caterer for whatever event you might be planning! read more

Fraiche team arrived on time, were well-prepared and set up easily. From a personal​ perspective, they were very kind and really helped in ways we couldn't have predicted. Just before the guest arrived, the puppy messed his crate, which the team pitched in to clean up. The puppy also required care and the team took the puppy for walks, etc... Unbelievably service focused. Our count changed last minute - the team was flexible here. Food was solid. Cheese and fruit assortment was gorgeous. 4 people was too many service people for a party of 8. However, the team worked seamlessly without a ​situation. read more

Fraiche Catering receives 5 stars for many reasons. 1.) The food and presentation was amazing. 2.) They are extremely creative and flexible. 3.) The events manager, Danielle was fantastic to work with. She is so accommodating and makes herself available anytime. 4.) The high level of service standards were a refreshing change from other catering companies I have hired. I have hired Friache Catering for 3 events within the last year and can't wait to see what they create for my next event. Thumbs up! read more

I had them cater an event at my home and I was so impressed. I will most definitely have them cater my next event! They provided me and my guests with impeccable customer service, and honestly the best food i've had in a long time! Their desserts are to DIE for and my personal favorites are the Farmers Market Salad and the Mashed potatoes. Not only does the food taste amazing, but it is always presented so elegantly and professionally. I highly recommend Fraiche Catering to anyone who's looking to cater any type of event- they can do it all! read more

Fraiche did an excellent job catering our wedding at Firehouse 8 in San Francisco. We were very happy with the job they did and would definitely recommend them to anyone. Rachel was a pleasure to work with! read more

The Rehearsal Dinner for our niece and her husband-to-be, was a huge success. Not only did your staff prepare and serve delicious food, but they provided impeccable service as well. While every one of your people did a great job, we want to single out Jamie for service well above and beyond the call of duty. By Friday afternoon, with the party due to begin at 7 pm, it became clear that it was going to be too cool and windy to hold the event in our side yard, as had been planned. When Jamie was informed of this problem, she leapt into action, coming to our house three hours before her scheduled time of arrival. She devised and implemented Plan B which was to move the event to the rear of our house. This called for considerable work on her part. She did this work creatively, efficiently, with determination and with unfailing good cheer. She saved the day. You have an excellent crew, all of them highly competent, personable and courteous. Jamie supervised the crew, guiding them with a soft hand. She is a gem. Finally, thanks to the two owners of the business for your personal attention to our needs and concerns. As a result, we were able to relax and enjoy being guests at our own party. read more
