Sugarplum Catering

Perfect catering for a business breakfast and lunch! Dawn was great to work with, the guys who delivered were awesome and the food could not have been better. They dealt with last minute changes and picky eaters with strange requests without any issues. The gourmet lunch boxes are definitely worth trying.

Hands down an amazing 5-​star experience from start to finish. The company has a new name now, Good Earth Catering. They were referred to me by a friend who works at the U of C campus.
I worked with Michele who helped me plan for more than just a menu for my first Holiday Party. She was also interested in the space, the flow and the set up. Three things I hadn’t even thought about or concerned myself with. They were even able to make items for me that had not been originally listed on their menu.
They set up a taste test for me to try all the menu items that I selected. At the taste testing I was able to change up the sauces, condiments and spices! Michelle even came by the place before to get an idea what kind of setup we were working with. Michele was then present on the day of the party to orchestrate the setup!
Our party guests raved about the food and wanted to know who our caterer was!
I would be happy to refer these folks and cant wait to use them again!

This company almost has a monopoly for food services on University of Chicago campus. Almost. Their little cafes around campus are decent. That’s about it. And in the building I worked in, one of their main counter servers really didn’t understand any English. So you’d say «today’s special» and you’d get a blank stare. Or– «grilled cheese” — same reaction. But they got rid of her after a few months. Those were loooong months. So– some bad personnel assignments as well.
Their actual catering service is better. We order some sweets trays, cookie trays, coffees, teas, wraps trays, sandwich trays– and the actual catered items are much better. The prices are very competitive compared to other local area caterers, and I know they do very large events too– such as dinner & drink receptions, business events and weddings. Their sales reps are quite friendly. They are always on time.
