This table spread for my baby shower was absolutely stunning! Caitlin took my decor ideas and surpassed them with the spread she created. I will continue to come back as a costumer and can't wait for my next event. The truffle Mac is still on my mind today!!!! SO GOOD! Thank you read more

I cannot praise Stems enough. I stumbled upon Stems last year when I was looking to jazz up a conference. My team was thoroughly impressed with their gorgeous fruit boards. And I'd like to mention that they do not use cheap basic fruits! Following that, I hired them to cater a holiday party and once again my team was blown away by the high quality food and stunning presentation. As an event organizer, it is so important for me to find caterers who have excellent communication skills, are easily to talk to and are flexible in trams of what the client is looking for. Stems truly checks off every one of those boxes with their delicious food and wonderful team. I know my event is in good hands when Stems is catering. I have hired them for cheese boards, private house dinners, holiday parties, conference lunches - and in each and every event, they have blew all our minds! A special shout out to Caitlin, who is not only an absolute delight to work with, but is a genius in arranging the most wonderful displays of food. She truly is a gem in the industry! With her wide knowledge of food pairings and experience, she is a great person to discuss what your vision is for your event. She will make it happen, I guarantee it! read more

This from my experience working with Stems for an event hosted by Pasadena City College. Working with Stems was top notch from beginning to end. The level of communication, professionalism, and thoughtfulness was a clear sign that Stems was going to come through for us and make our event magical, and they did not disappoint! The set-up and display of the food was out of sight! Absolutely gorgeous. The food items were presented with such care and sophistication, and the quality of each item was exquisite! The food was fresh, rich and delicious! All of our attendees could not stop talking about how good it was. We will definitely be using Stems again in the future, and I highly recommend their business! read more

Holy cow folks! Stems is amazing! Their boards are beautiful, the food is fresh and delicious, and all of your friends will ask where you got this amazing food. I could eat their homemade ricotta and honeycomb all day! They were running a little behind in creating our order, so they offered us sandwiches and drinks while we waited--GREAT customer service. And so worth the wait. And they're local. I could go on and on. You will not be disappointed! read more

The boards I received were stunningly beautiful! My guests loved everything and I received a ton of compliments! They were on time and all the food was great. The aren't cheap, but you certainly get what you pay for!! Will not hesitate to call them again. read more

We are so happy we chose Stems for my daughter's bridal shower! The food was delicious, the display was gorgeous and service was prompt and impeccable! Caitlin is a rock star and our grazing tray, salads, Sammies and dessert tray were a wonderful centerpiece for our celebration! Tip: the cheesecake bites and lemon bars are simply incredible!! Hands down, top recommendation of all! read more

I'm not usually big on boards and charcuteries as I always just feel like "it's overpriced cheese and meat." Stems has completely changed my opinion. My board was a work of art. I got the smallest board that feeds 2-3 people, but the two of us ended up taking 2.5 days to finish the board. FOOD: It was such a good selection of flavors, from sweet to savory to everything in between. They definitely didn't skimp on anything. There were fresh fruit (blueberries, blackberries, oranges, and strawberries), candied almonds, two types of meat, 4-5 types of cheese (even one that tasted like cheesecake!), honeycomb, peas, dried fruit, pickles, and chocolate toffee bars. I definitely didn't expect such a good variety. Also, it was SO pretty. Definitely something I would purchase as a gift or for an occasion. DELIVERY/SERVICE: I selected the pickup, but they were nice enough to deliver my board. Communication was fast and responsive. read more

We have a big holiday party every year, and Stems has been my "go to" for the most gorgeous cheese and charcuterie grazing boards for the last 5 years or so. They create the most stunning AND delicious boards - I always get so many compliments on them. Every element is beautiful and fresh and exquisitely assembled. Kaiy is lovely to work with, and so reliable! I love supporting small women-owned businesses, and they are THE BEST! read more

Stopped by stems today for their soft opening and was completely blown away! They are sharing a space at Waverly and it's the cutest space! They have food items like sandwiches, Charcuterie boxes and other yummies you can buy there. I ended up getting one of their sandwiches, pasta salad and a lemonade. Also got a free cookie for stopping by today. Roasted Chick sammie- 10/10 Sandwich was just the perfect size to go along with other items I got. Chicken was moist and whatever jam was in the sandwich put it just over the top. Was amazing! Pasta Salad - 9/10 Great salad! Pasta, tomatoes, corn, chopped onion. Was a great mix along with the dressing. I honestly didn't think it was going to be anything new, but this was so good! It was all a dream lavender lemonade-10/10 I am a sucker for all things lavender and this lemonade didn't disappoint! Right amount of lavender and sweetener. Was so refreshing! They also have a few accessories for sale along with some of their favorites items from cheese to cheese tools. I am definitely coming back! read more

Beautiful charcuterie boxes. My husband and I enjoyed their chocolate covered strawberries and a Date Night charcuterie box for Valentine's Day. Presentation is gorgeous and everything tastes delicious - the fruit is ripe, the cheeses and other goodies are soo tasty, and the edible flower on top is too cute. It was just the right amount of food for two people. Definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

I don't know where to begin! There is no limit to the beauty of Kaiy's artistry, the personal touch she puts into everything she does and the love she has for feeding people, in body and spirit. The grazing boards she creates are pure magic, down to every detail! Her kind yet no-nonsense demeanor makes her an absolute joy to work with. She really, truly wants to make your experience special. Oh! And grazing boards and charcuterie are only fraction of what she does! I've had the pleasure of tasting her catered lunches and event offerings and everything is always, always swoon-worthy to the palate as well as the eyes. Just call her, people--prepare to be dazzled. read more

stems - Fresh, beautiful grazing table for a daytime event. My photography unfortunately doesn't do this masterpiece justice! - Caterers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

STEMS was the perfect choice for our open house Baby Shower. The food was delicious and the presentation, absolutely spectacular! Our guests could not stop raving about the grazing buffet. Caitlin was wonderful to work with in setting-up and finalizing the details of our event. Her communication was prompt and thorough. Sarah and her team were a dream the day of the event. She was wonderfully organized and handled set-up and breakdown with such ease, we didn't have to worry about a thing. I definitely recommend STEMS for your next event, and plan to use them again for mine! read more

I've been working with Stems for a few years now. I've been a professional FOODIE, special events producer and overall obsessed with passionate people who provide 6+ star service. I have way too many photos to post, but you'll have to place an order to taste for yourself. The vision, menu design and ingredients that goes into each event is anything less than stellar. She makes the impossible happen, and I can't rave enough about her soul. I choose to intertwine myself with people who care and give amazing memories for any occasion, no matter how large. Call Kaiy, you'll be in the best hands read more

Stems did an amazing job on the grazing table for my birthday. they had such an amazing up beat attitude and were able to get me in in less than a weeks notice. they are very popular so please make sure to book as soon as you can. i will definitely use them again and recommend to anyone. read more

Absolute perfection. This is a long overdue review from a small order a year ago. I last-minute requested a box for a gift and they were able to accommodate my order. The gift recipient was overjoyed and I have not stopped thinking about the next time I get to be a return customer. Even though DIY boards are easy to make, Stems makes PERFECT, gorgeously designed boards that are both beautiful and delicious (according to the gift recipient!). When you total up the cost of materials and your own time to DIY something, it comes out to way more than what Stems prices their items at, and most of us couldn't pull off this ART that they create every day... This is something absolutely worth going out of your way to get! read more

Beautiful grazing boards definitely makes for a great gift or spread to entertain with.

I was super excited to hear Stems opened a location. The area is quaint and parking is easy. I picked up lunch, a roasted chick sammi along with a delicious lavender lemonade and pasta salad. It was do delicious, definitely a must try. Can't wait to make another stop and try their gorgeous charcuterie boards. read more

There is a ton of competition in the cheese board space, but they did not disappoint! It's such a visual experience- we eat with our eyes first. There is so much to look at and so many flavors. They definitely over deliver on the experience and have an apparent passion for hospitality. read more

A beautifully made box. No option for meat and cheese customization, but they know their stuff. Would definitely buy again. Just remember to go to the Cisco homes address and not the one provided by yelp. read more

I was in need of an immediate cheese board for a marketing event. We contacted multiple local companies that could accommodate the variety we were looking for along with the turnaround time. Enter STEMS. Not only did they make the rush work but the cheese board was literally laden with cheeses, meats, fruits and garnishes that left us and the guests asking "what is this and where do I get more." Completely professional and quality is well above the price poin read more

I was so excited to see Stems open a storefront. I've been a fan of their gorgeous charcuterie boards for some time and love that I can now stop in and grab something for lunch or for a casual night in. I got the date night box which was almost too pretty to eat! All of the items in my box were so fresh and tasty. You can tell they put a lot of thought into curating what goes into each box. Beautiful boards for small gatherings or just a night in! So happy they are locally available! read more

We have ordered food from Stems on numerous occasions for parties, gifts and gatherings. Last week, we ordered food to serve for a small gathering and it was hit. We ordered a cheese board, seasonal salad, potato salad with crispy prosciutto and the box of 20 tea sammies. Everything was delicious but our favorite sammie was the roasted chick. It has lemon mango jam, roasted chicken, some sort of greens and their garlic herb aioli, it was incredible! The seasonal salad had watermelon, stone fruit, cucumbers and some cheese with an incredible dressing that was light and refreshing! read more

I would recommend Stems 100% for there mini graze I ordered. The boards were fantastic and my clients loved everything about them. I would recommend Stems to anyone who is in need of a charcuterie board! They do great work and again are very responsive. read more

Bad customer service.... whoever answers the phone she was very short and wasn't helpful from the beginning of conversation. She seemed irritated with me or maybe she had a long day, I didn't know if I could p/u my order same day or not... so to preserve my energy, I wished her a good day and got off the phone. I don't know if I would ever order from this company. I work hard for my money and I can spend it elsewhere. read more

I went to a wine tasting where Stems catered paired foods and it really enhanced, not only the wines' flavor profiles, but the overall experience of the event. I was mind blown of how a wonderfully a lightly fried chicken tender and champagne pairing could be a match made in heaven! I need to acquire the recipe so that I can try out these pairings at home- perfect for summer time patio kick-backs with the girls! (Or maybe I'll just order them and say I made them ;-) read more

Oh my goodness, I can not say enough good things about this company! I was in such a pickle because my caterer bailed on us a couple of weeks before our event. I happened to come across Stems page and they were so accommodating to our needs! They really put me at ease about my situation. They are also by far the best tasting party food I have ever ordered. I have never had so many people compliment our choice of food at a party. They were the best sandwiches I have ever had. I am blown away by every detail that was put into my order. I will 100% order again for every event. Thank you, Stems for Everything. read more

Such beautiful food and service - AND community! The owner is also awesome. Highly recommend.

Love this place! I've had their gorgeous platters for several of my events and the guests can't stop talking about them.
