But once I took the plunge and brought my laptop here to get some work done, I was pleasantly surprised. Got a bagel and coffee. Seems this place has event nights too, like "Chick Flicks Night" and some kind of trivia thing. Best thing about it is that they serve Due Torri coffee, an undiscovered gem of an artisanal roastery.

Our family used them for my daughter's party and they were fabulous. I also found out recently that a friend actually worked here in her younger days. Shai has now apparently moved on to Hawaii and in it's place is The Arlington. Actually, the interior doesn't look like it's changed much. They serve coffee and various noshes, maintain a catering business, and feature live music on select weekends. I especially like the sidewalk seating and potential to make the inside a little bit more Berkeley hip (or Cal Professor Modern). The food is also still very good.

The pork sisig had just the right kick of spice, perfectly crunchy pork, and amazing seasoning.

I found Minda's Kitchen on yelp and went off reviews and I am glad I went with her, it's always great to support family owned and women run businesses. Bonus - she also gave me a loaf of homemade banana bread and it was very good, it was a very sweet gesture and shows that she cares about her food and puts love into it.

I used Havana Catering for the first time for my baby shower this past weekend and had a really…read moregreat experience. I had heard of them before because a friend used them for their wedding, and since I plan events for a living, I've worked with a lot of caterers. For my own event though, price mattered a lot, but I still wanted really good food. After reaching out to a bunch of places, I went with Havana because I had tried their food before and their pricing was very reasonable. We ordered full trays of adobo chicken, lechon roasted pork, crispy tofu, paella, sofrito rice, black beans, corn, poblano mac and cheese, and plantains. I did bring in one dish from another restaurant, Jamaican oxtail, just because I know my guests are big foodies. The biggest hits from Havana were definitely the poblano mac and cheese, lechon, and the paella. Honestly, the mac and cheese was the standout. Everyone kept going back for it and I wish I had ordered an extra tray. What really stood out to me though was the delivery experience. The driver called me ahead of time, brought everything in, and set it all up. He opened the trays with gloves, added sauces, arranged everything nicely, and even put out utensils and labels. I've had plenty of catering deliveries before and this was easily one of the best. He was just genuinely kind and went above and beyond, and it made a big difference. Overall, everything went smoothly, the food was great, and I would definitely order from them again.

Awesome food and great service!…read more Some friends catered from Vatos Tacos for a pre-wedding luncheon for some friends in their backyard. The mom and uncle of the owner showed up early to set up and start cooking. They were professional, kind, and very friendly. I was stoked that they cooked everything fresh on site and didn't just have food in warmers. We got to choose among proteins and veggies, and the salsa bar was awesome. Kids and adults alike really enjoyed the churros too! They boxed up all leftovers after the event, so we ate tacos for leftovers and froze a bunch too for later. The only thing one of my friends said was that paying extra for salad wasn't worth it because the salad was just from a bag. Everything was delicious, and I ate too much! I highly recommend Vatos Tacos for your catering needs!

I'm writing this in the hopes that Minh will reach out to me directly with a contact number so we can move forward and work with Aloha Catering.
