Services
Working exclusively within the corporate arena, Cosmopolitan Catering has experienced exponential growth by identifying and solving the recurring problems that Silicon Valley companies face when using outdated corporate food-service models. We have in turn addressed each of our client's needs independently to thereby provide customized solutions.
Cosmopolitan Catering has become the premier food-service company in the Bay Area through a specific focus of pleasing the refined palettes of the Bay Area while redefining the highest of service standards. Offering an expansive menu of delightfully eclectic items, Executive Chef Scott Sasaki has drawn on years of culinary experience to hone perfect flavor combinations in order to create our monthly rotation menus.
Cosmopolitan Catering understands the needs of your employees and will work directly with you and for you! Full-service kitchens allow an operator to write custom menus for the employee population they serve and have a level of variety that is comprehensive. So many caf operators, however, take a cookie-cutter approach to their menu design and service style that the program is unsuccessful before it even begins.
Cosmopolitan Catering can manage your entire food and beverage program beyond your breakfast, lunch, and dinner needs. Having access to any snacks, fruit, and beverages your employees might crave through the day, we will keep your shelves stocked and employees full between meals also! Upgrade your break room from good to great!
Cosmopolitan Catering provides high-quality food and strives to be recognized for producing delicious, healthy, and socially responsible meals. We start with whole, raw, single-ingredient food that is processed by hand from scratch. We go to market daily for the freshest produce available and use high-grade proteins in every menu we create.

Due to COVID-19, our company uses Cosmopolitan Catering to provide free-lunches to onsite employees.
We are getting cold lunches (either sandwich or wrap) 3 days and hot lunches 2 days per week.
For cold lunches, wrap may be a little better than sandwich. I don't know how early they prepare the foods, but the breads are usually soggy owing to all the wet/oiled ingredients when the food is delivered. Sometimes, it is not edible ... I wish they check how their sandwich would look/taste a few hours after it is prepared in vinyl wrap.
For hot lunches, some menus are way too greasy.
I understand

I share the same experience as many others have already shared, unfortunately. However, in my case the corporate benefit is not free meals but rather a meal available for purchase at a "subsidized" price. Even if it was free, though, I'd likely pass (as others have mentioned in their reviews). The food is often cooked improperly and at times folks have gotten sick from the food. Commonplace issues are overcooked or undercooked meat, bland vegetables, and inconsistent service. I will say that some of the service staff at my location have tried their best to provide a good experience

This company caters our corporate lunches and I have stopped eating taking advantage of this work benefit because they're so terrible. Not only that, their packaging is wasteful. Not green, not compostable. They heat their hot foods in the plastic containers to a point where the plastic warps around the food- how toxic can you get?

Excellent choice for our catered lunch at work! Most of the colleagues I talked to were amazed of the great quality of the products and having fresh produce for lunch is not only a treat for our health but also for the taste.
We got:
* Santa Fe Steak Lettuce Wraps
* Chipotle Quinoa Sweet Potato Croquette Lettuce Wraps
both super delicious and dresh. I never tried the quinoa sweet potato before and what a nice vegetarian treat!
Served with:
* Avocado Cilantro Ranch Sauce (D)
* Pepper Jack Cheese (D)
* Crispy Tortilla Strips
* (VE) Potato Bravas with Smoked Paprika and Scallions
* Lemon Aioli

They used to cater lunches and dinners at a startup company I worked at, back in 2013. The food then wasn't great: the meat tended to be overcooked and the vegetables were always some variation on zucchini, squash, and eggplant. Their salad bar was pretty good though. Then we switched to Zero Cater and then a subsequent other caterer.
Zip forward 2 years to 2015, and my new company recently swapped from getting restaurant catering delivered by Zero Cater and At Work Services to catering exclusively by Cosmopolitan Catering. I'm happy to say that their food quality has GREATLY improved

Our office gets our lunches catered by Cosmo, and I'm always really excited to see them in our office!
The staff are really friendly and the food is always well-prepared. I'm only comment is about the beef/steak they they serve...it's always well-done.....which makes the meat very tough. However, I understand that for the sake of food safety, they might as well make it well-done. Other than that, the food is good. :)
I recommend anyone in the Peninsula area looking for a very good catering company--whether it be for a Company lunch or event--get in touch with Cosmo Catering!

I just booked Cosmopolitan Catering for an event on 10/4 and it was absolutely spectacular!!! I will make this a long spiraling review if I don't organize, so here goes:
Quote
The quote process was a little tricky at first because my quote was given to a senior associate who had zero interest in taking care of the event if the price was not at a certain level (she also tried to blame the person who initially took my information, telling me she was a new hire and thus was mistaken in that they'd be able to quote me). I balked at this and then received help from Christie T and her manager

I have to say that Cosmo Catering is by far a diamond in the rough. They offer AMAZING food with great service that fits anyone's budget. I actually interviewed with the company for a position and when I was given a tour of the kitchen and offices I noticed how clean everything was. The kitchen was HUGE and well put together. I also really enjoyed how everyone got along so well. I ended up getting a job at a different company, and it was one of my duties to plan an event. My boss told me that she wanted to look into getting the event catered. Right away, I knew who to call.

Cosmopolitan catering recently did an event for us in our offices for 140 people. We did a finger food/appetizer spread and it was great. The set up team was very professional and did all the work. I loved how they coordinated the linens with the colors in our new office.
The only issue we had was the clean up crew arriving an hour late. I had to call them to find out what was going on. The clean up crew was apologetic and obviously felt bad about the situation. She hurried and got out as fast as she could.
Overall I great experience!

Dependable, helpful, delicious and aesthetically pleasing. Rick and the Cosmopolitan Catering team are wonderful! We use them on a weekly basis for our company's lunch catering, and they set up a delightful buffet spread within a half hour.
They are very flexible to changes (even last-minute), very friendly, the food is consistently good and the menu choices are a great range of ethnic foods from around the world that also please the pickiest of palates. They display the food in a way that is user-friendly and attractive. We will be loyal customers for good!

We had Cosmo Catering for our wedding. As other reviewers have said, almost all of our guests really enjoyed the food - especially the beef brisket. That was a crowd favorite, for sure!
The tasting in the beginning of the process was really fun - they set you up at a table and serve the food to you, as if you are in a restaurant. We got to bring a few people from our wedding party, to get their opinion on the food as well. All of the staff was really nice and professional. The food we got on that day was the same as we got at the wedding, and it was just as good as we remembered.
