So far I have only tried her red velvet and chocolate cupcakes. Here's the rundown: Taste: * Red Velvet: delicious, moist, the right amount of sweetness, probably the best red velvet I've tried. The cream cheese frosting was light, divine, and perfect. 5 stars * Chocolate with chocolate frosting: this is a subjective thing, but for me not a dark enough chocolate frosting and too sweet. The cake was a kid-pleaser, but not the kind of chocolate cupcake I go for. 3 stars Decorations: Super cute, creative, and tasty. I liked that they were made of white chocolate, which meant not only did they look phenomenal but they tasted delicious. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/aN8L20ndzf6DqdYkc2XDmw?select=iutdD5MGez0NIOheS1Zp9g#lSOHuLiW9cdubWWxR8gcXA Impressions: Maryann makes all her food special order and is happy to accommodate flavor and design preferences. She also delivers within certain geographic areas, but be sure to order ahead. It would've been fun to sample more of her flavors, and maybe I will someday. I highly recommend her for any occasion.

I first discovered The Market's catering when Palo Alto Players (the theatre company down the…read morestreet) started using them for opening night receptions. The desserts and savories stood out as more handcrafted and gourmet than other similar caterers in the area, and the theatre staff were extremely complimentary about their helpful team, interesting selection, and reasonable pricing. I learnt that The Market also donated items to one of the nonprofit's fundraisers, and their real and continued support of the community is a huge plus in my book. Since then, I've used The Market for catering 3 times. The first was a mini platter that owner Emel custom-created based on my preferences, and the quality and variety--even at a small platter size--were a surprise and delight. I appreciated her meticulous and hands-on work, and this first order made The Market my go-to caterer. The other 2 times were recent, for 60-80 person events, and I worked with Paola for both. Though the platters seem much less customisable now (maybe it was only possible with Emel), it was a smooth and easy process to select from their online catering menu, which sufficiently and accurately described each item. Paola responded within 24 hours to the online order form and provided the opportunity to review the proposal before taking credit card payment over the phone. She is wonderful to work with: everything was timely, efficient, and reliable. Of note: the grazing board (high quality and luxurious), the raspberry bars (my absolute favourite--I hope they never stop making these!), and the fresh fruit platter (indeed fresh and ripe, elevated with surprising/exotic fruits). I've been glad to continue recommending The Market's catering service to friends. Note: at the moment, delivery of catering orders is not available on Sundays.

We had a mediocre experience with The Market catering…read more We struggled to get in touch with them to place our initial order for a small event. We sent multiple messages and voicemails that went unreturned for several days. Just as we were getting ready to change plans and look for a different vendor, we heard back (they had been out on vacation). We decided to still give them a try. (Note: the owner response below suggests that they responded within 24 hours, but that doesn't match our experience - I think this misunderstanding is due to the fact that two of us coordinating the event had reached out to the Market . My initial inquiry submitted on their website went unanswered, and so a couple days later my colleague tried to call and left a voicemail. Eventually my colleague was able to connect with them to place an order. I actually never received any response by phone or email.) The food arrived on time, but the delivery team forgot part of our order. We tried calling both of numbers on the invoice associated with the Market, but they both went right to voicemail. We eventually got a hold of the delivery team and received our missing item halfway through our event. The portions we received were very small compared to the description. For example, "32 tea sandwiches" seems like 4-5 normal sandwiches sliced into 6ths - wild to pay $2.25 for each tiny sandwich slice. The quality of the ingredients seemed mediocre for the price (e.g. the bread seemed like basic bagged sandwich bread, sliced into uneven rectangles). The chicken skewers - the most expensive item we got - were surprisingly small. "Watermelon feta skewers bites" were about a third green olives (not listed in the description) which our guests found unappetizing - we would not have ordered this item if that ingredient had been disclosed. Salad was 99% plain mixed greens (the amount we received runs about $6.99 retail for organic mix at a specialty store). On the whole, most things seemed like we could have gotten similar-or-better quality items for a quarter of the price through Whole Foods. The plating for items was nothing special - again, supermarket take-away platters look about the same. It's really hard to justify the price we paid for the items we received. All in all, we found the service, food quality, and presentation to be unimpressive and overpriced, and the communication/delivery snafus made our event prep more stressful. Perhaps we caught them on an off day, but we were expecting more given the glowing Yelp reviews. Based on the experience we had, we'd recommend working with a different caterer.

What I gain is my truth: this is a hidden gem if you love a wine bar with delicious food. I have been here a few times, once with a friend and a couple times with my husband. Family owned and operated is the icing on the cake. The two sisters rock. Saturdays are half off happy hour menu. The grazing plate- perfection. The sandwiches on acme bread?! Even better. Great spot for a lunch date with a wine flight - excellent wines and care. I highly recommend. Minus the truffle popcorn, I'm sorry. But still love!
