Hear from Our Customers
You’re not scrambling to coordinate vendors or worrying about whether the food will show up on time. Your guests are talking about how fresh everything tastes, not picking at mediocre catered food.
The setup happens seamlessly before your event starts. Your team or family can focus on what matters—connecting with each other instead of managing logistics.
When it’s over, everything gets cleaned up without you lifting a finger. That’s what happens when you work with a catering company that actually understands what you need.
We’ve been serving Village of the Branch and Suffolk County for years, and we’ve learned what works. Real kettle-cooked bagels with that perfect chewy interior and crispy exterior you can’t get from mass-produced alternatives.
We’re not just a bagel shop that does catering on the side. We’re a full-service catering operation with multiple Long Island locations, professional staff, and the equipment to handle everything from intimate office meetings to large corporate events.
The difference is in the details—fresh, locally sourced ingredients when possible, and the kind of authentic New York taste that makes people remember your event for the right reasons.
First, we talk through your event details—guest count, dietary needs, timing, and what kind of impression you want to make. No generic packages or one-size-fits-all menus.
We customize your menu based on what actually works for your event. Whether that’s our signature breakfast catering with fresh bagels and premium spreads, Italian catering for a formal gathering, or our premium BBQ service where we bring the grill and handle everything on-site.
On event day, our team arrives early for setup, manages service throughout your event, and handles complete cleanup afterward. You get to be a host, not an event coordinator.
