I scheduled a phone call with her about 2-3 weeks prior to the event where she gave me a thorough breakdown of the menu while giving me suggestions for what would go well with our expectations. The day of the event, her execution was absolutely perfect from showing up prepared, setting the table, presentation, and the food was absolutely delicious, all 9 of us cleaned our plates. Her personality and communication is just as perfect as her dishes. Thanks for such a great experience.

Busy Bee Catering swooped in and saved the day with their "Sides-Giving" offerings fit for royalty! Their fluffy mashed potatoes and gravy were divine. Their chicken apple sausage stuffing was a show stopper, as was the relish tray (as big as a trough for my goats), roasted vegetables and Fall harvest salad topped with sinfully delicious candied pecans. I feel like getting married again so Busy Bee Catering can handle the food. Thank you so much! You'll be seeing me and my hungry tummy again SOON!

They were amazing to work with and so calm and wise to keep this MOTG relaxed to enjoy the events. The quotes were more reasonable than others and food/flavor/freshness/presentation not compromised. I had wanted our son to go with the PDX caterer and Jan & Dani were definitely the best choice. You can't go wrong with them. We also used them at Alpine Events for our rehersal dinner with 52 people and the dinner was fabulous and the event space so lovely and personal for our gathering. Jan & Dani even decorated with the runners/candles/banner and flowers that we dropped off while at the rehersal. I can't say enough about them! Janey

Date of visit: May 11, 2026…read more This was the dessert stop on our food tour of downtown Portland and was a perfect way to end the foodextravaganza! Staff was incredibly nice and provided suggestions for us as there are a number of choices to pick from and most of them sounded amazing so narrowing it down to just one was very hard. They make their own marshmallows and you can purchase some of the flavors to take home as well, a great souvenir if you know someone who is a big marshmallow fan. I went with the Buckeye, because peanut butter! And all of the S'mores are on gluten free graham crackers which honestly seemed to taste so much better than regular graham crackers that always have a stale taste about them. My husband had the Rollin' in the Dirt (think a dirt cake) and also gave it two thumbs up. They told us that they are looking to relocate just across the street from their current mini location so don't fret if you don't see them in this same spot!

The ambience is super cute and inviting it's just a really pleasant place to walk into and spend a few minutes. While waiting, I noticed their dessert display and got curious about something that wasn't cheesecake. I asked about it and was told it was basboosa (a semolina cake with coconut and rose water). I mentioned I'd have to try it next time and without hesitation they brought out a sample for me. It was absolutely delicious. It was soft, moist, and slightly crumbly like a tender sponge with a bit more texture from the semolina. The sweetness is light and not overpowering with a subtle coconut flavor that added richness and a delicate floral note from the rose water that made it taste just a little more special. They also packed up sample for my partner to try on the house. The kindness and generosity meant so much to me. Every time we come in everyone is so warm, welcoming and genuinely kind. We're really grateful for this place and will definitely keep coming back for our favorite cheesecake and now basboosa too.

The Portland Catering Company did just a phenomenal job at our wedding. The food was fantastic and…read morewe got tons of compliments about it. They were also extremely flexible, which I think really sets them apart (and also being the most reasonable catering company we talked to and we talked to at least 5 or 6). They let us bring our own alcohol and served it for us and provided all the ice and necessary glassware. The staff helped a ton with the set up and tear down of the chairs and tables as well. Julie from PCC was incredible. She was very responsive and flexible during the planning phase. She came to our venue walkthrough about a month prior so we could figure out logistics, the set up, and all our questions. During the day of the staff was amazing and the bar and the buffet ran very smoothly. I can't stress enough how incredible Julie and the whole staff was and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I hired this caterer about a month in advance for a baby shower for approximately 20 guests, with a…read morefood order totaling over $1,200. They were scheduled to arrive at 3:00 PM on Saturday. By 3:20, no one had arrived and I still hadn't heard anything. Around 3:25, I began trying to contact someone. After finally reaching someone after 3:30, I was told the kitchen had been extremely busy that day. At that point, I began to suspect the food might not be coming. At 3:49 PM -- just minutes before guests were arriving for a two-hour event -- I received a call letting me know the food had not even been made yet. I was told it might be ready "in a couple hours," and they suggested I order food elsewhere instead. We were left scrambling at the absolute last minute. We ended up ordering pizzas and salad from a local restaurant while family members rushed to the grocery store to put together charcuterie boards in the kitchen as guests arrived. It was stressful, embarrassing, and honestly hard to believe. I have worked in hospitality, events, fundraising, and vendor management since 2008 -- from hotels to nonprofit development work -- and I regularly hire caterers, bartenders, and vendors for professional events. In all those years, I have never experienced a caterer simply not show up and fail to communicate beforehand that they would not be delivering. To their credit, the contact person did apologize afterward and explained they were understaffed and going through staffing challenges. She also stated they would refund the order and help reimburse the replacement food costs. However, nearly a week later, I still have not received the full refund or reimbursement. I understand that difficult days happen in the service industry. What was most disappointing here was the complete lack of communication before the event and the position it put us in as hosts. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable relying on this company again for an event.

I wish it had more cheese and creamier! I wasn't a big fan of the Argentinian Chipa cheese bread. It was very dense with bland lukewarm cheese.

I got the combo, which includes 2 empanadas, fries, chimichurri sauce, and a nice sandwich cookie. I chose the Abuela Chona and criollo empanadas. I ate one and my dad ate one. Both have ground beef, I honestly am not sure which one I ate, as it seemed like all that was inside was ground beef, but it was nicely seasoned. It was hot! Fries were ok, nothing too exciting. They were also nice and hot, although a few were soggy. They sprinkle dried herbs on them, which is a nice touch The cookie looked different from the pic on the menu; it looked like a flat, white, unexciting disc. In real life, it is 2 glorious, light, melt-in-your-mouth shortbreads sandwiching a generous amount of creamy, rich, not-too-sweet dulce de leche. I highly recommend the alfajores!

We got married in May 2023 and absolutely loved working with Reedville Catering. Everything from…read morethe planning, to the flexibility on the menu, to the presentation and aesthetic - they completely nailed our vision. We didn't want to do a traditional sit-down or buffet dinner and worked with Reedville to do more of a food station, heavy hors d'oeuvres set-up for our cocktail party reception. Every single item they made was seriously delicious, not just 'good' - NW salmon cakes, goat cheese tartlets, teriyaki meatballs for passed apps, and the charcuterie presentation was beautiful. Sweet chili shrimp skewers, thai peanut chicken, asparagus risotto, arugula salad, plus two custom items we asked for: pork belly bao buns and fried chicken sliders. Everything was out of this world. When we asked to do pork belly bao buns, they didn't bat an eye or even ask any questions - and then absolutely nailed it. The amount of food was perfect. They also tended bar for us with 2 signatures and a full bar and everyone was happy and drunk the whole evening :) The team was super friendly and professional, and Jessica's responsiveness was lightning fast. We would work with them all over again and highly recommend to anyone.

We weren't sure if we wanted to provide our own alcohol, or have Reedville do it, and Cam was so flexible with us the whole time. She was constantly tweaking little things in their proposal and always promptly answered any questions I had. The food is so good! I had multiple guest come up to me during the wedding and tell me, unsolicited, how good the food was. It was above and beyond many of our guests expectations of what kind of food they would be served at a wedding. My now husband wanted to order excess food on purpose just so he'd have more leftovers, I cannot emphasize how yummy everything was! The day of staff of servers and bartenders were all fantastic as well. While taking pictures during our cocktail hour and away from our guests, all of the servers made sure to bring us the hors d'oeuvres and cocktail each which was super appreciated! Overall I cannot recommend Reedville enough, they were fantastic!
