Foodee’s local SF food experts are on the streets trying out the newest, top local eats and partnering with them for the best restaurant corporate catering in San Francisco.
We’ve compiled a list of our current favorites and what they’re best known for when it comes to office catering.
7 Best San Francisco restaurants that cater corporate and what to order
1. Lulubowls: Aloha, fun vegetarian office catering!
We love it when vegetarian options are the top featured and most fun menu items—-not a must-have afterthought. For Lulubowls’ Hawaiian-inspired bowls with a Californian twist, the vegetarian, gluten-free, and healthy options are the meals to order.
Try their Teriyaki Cauliflower Wings with house-made vegan ranch dip. Or bite into the Hawaiian Meatball Bowl with made-from-scratch plant-based Impossible “beef” marinated in Lulu’s teriyaki sauce with chili-dusted pineapple among other delish ingredients and a side of our sweet potato salad to boot. Yum!
2. Levainworth Craft Sandwiches: Pack your boxed lunch
Let’s start with a classic boxed lunch special: craft sandwiches with fun sides like coleslaw and pickles or chips and cookies. Levainworth Craft Sandwiches fits the bill for the perfect lunch boxes catered to neighboring San Fran offices like yours. Their made-to-order sandwiches are equal parts creative, timeless, and delicious.
Try their Butchertown with roast beef, caramelized onions, horseradish ricotta, and celery seed coleslaw on an ACME herb ciabatta bun served with superfine slaw and house pickles. Or order their delicious Maitake Banh Mi sandwich with Maitake mushrooms, sambal aioli, cucumber, pickled carrot and daikon, shaved jalapeno, and cilantro all in an ACME torpedo roll along with slaw and pickles in a box.
3. Soma Eats: The sunny side up of breakfast catering
Soma Eats is a modern cafe in the heart of downtown SF that serves up fresh and casual Californian cuisine and house-made drinks like cold brew and classic iced tea. We love Soma Eats any time of day, but they make breakfasts in SF offices a real treat.
Trust us, you’ll want to be at the next morning’s meeting if your company’s ordered the avocado, egg, and American cheese breakfast sandwich or their spiced breakfast burrito ahead of time. Try the Greek yogurt parfait with house-made granola and fresh fruit plus a cold brew coffee first thing.
4. LaLe: Some menu items are made for sharing
Family or sharing-style office catering is not only great for team bonding, but it’s also an ideal way to try more restaurant menu items. Some cuisines are meant for sharing. LaLe is a family-owned Mediterranean-Turkish tapas bar made daily from scratch. These are delicious, healthy, and fun family recipes that are awesome for sharing.
For example, you could order their cold-mezze sampler (serves ~10-15 people) with tabouli salad, hummus, yogurt-beets dips, yogurt cucumber dip, eggplant salad, muhammara red pepper dip, Reyhan (feta, basil, and pistachio spread), and pita to try them all. They also have a delicious crispy falafel ball dish with sesame seeds and grilled veggies or meat skewers for a beautiful office event catering or meeting spread.
5. Papa Mak’s Burgers: Mouthwatering burgers at work
For those extra fun days in the office—or for catered office parties and team barbeques—save yourself the hassle of shopping and cooking. And order Papa Mak’s classic burgers delivered by professional, full-service corporate caterers. Family-owned and operated since 2015, Papa Mak’s has something for everyone on your team. From Papa beef burgers to Impossible plant-based meat vegetarian burgers or house-fried chicken sandwiches, salads, and mushroom burgers with gluten-free buns, they have great menu choices for all.
6. Kitava: Paleo, vegan, healthy, and easy business catering
Ordering office meals that work for a variety of dietary preferences doesn’t have to be complicated. Some local San Francisco restaurants, like Kitava, make it easy and delicious. Try their power bowl, for instance, packed with Farmer’s greens, ancient grain mix, chickpea hummus, sweet potatoes, avocado, pickled onions, and sunflower seeds with a green goddess dressing drizzled on top. Are you feeling extra peckish? Get their crispy brussel sprouts with chipotle aioli dip or Za’atar spiced cauliflower with hummus to start.
7. Amici’s East Coast Pizzeria—SOMA: Office pizza day!
Last but (obviously) not least, is Amici’s East Coast Pizzeria in Soma. They bake their pizzas in brick ovens just as Italians have traditionally for centuries. Because of this, they have that distinctly toasted—almost burnt—bottom crust that is very Italian but with a New York pizza kind of vibe.
We’re still drooling over their simple Margherita pizzas with fresh mozzarella and basil, tomatoes, and olive oil. Go Hawaiian with honey-cured ham and pineapple or branch out to try their hot Italian sausage, roasted garlic, parm, pine nuts, and kale pizza. Your whole office will be looking forward to Friday’s team lunch for days ahead of this one.
