My 70th birthday party was a dream come true and Taste & Company had sooo much to do with it. From beginning to end, Cynthia and her staff were on top of everything. All I had to do was eat, drink and revel in all the friends who showed up to celebrate me. I loved it! Tell her what you want and she'll give you what you need.

I hired Cynthia and Taste and Company to cater my baby shower. The theme was Winnie The Pooh. Cynthia and her team were phenomenal! They set up in our kitchen and used our dining room to set out all the food. The food was incredible and delicious! All of it was finger foods, per my request. They also cut the fruit I had bought for drinks, and cut the cake for us (neither of which was required or requested, they volunteered to help and I was beyond grateful!) they also provided themed plates and serving trays to go along with Winnie the Pooh. I unfortunately forgot to get a picture of the sign they provided with cute quotes from Winnie the Pooh, but it was just that added touch to make my shower amazing! I can’t recommend taste and company enough! They always go above and beyond for their clients!!! Thank you Cynthia and team!!!

I worked with Taste and Company for Skadden's signature summer soiree and I couldn't have asked for a better experience than I did with Taste and Company. Working with Cynthia was easy and fun, and her team was professional, on time, and did a fantastic job. And the food! Wow, delicious! (The sea bass was like butta!) Thank you Taste and Co for helping us make our signature party the hit of the summer.

Cynthia is the consummate professional. Her food presentations are ABOVE Food Network. She has decades of experience in the food industry including 20-plus years in catering and a decade as a chef and restaurant manager. Her VAST experience in SO many cuisines is unmatched in LA or in southern Cali. She will suggest many combinations, and her prices are reasonable all things considered. She has had countless very satisfied customers from the small parties to large corporate events and everything in between. Please give her a call. You will not regret it. Again she is top notch.

I have used Cynthia over the years and she ALWAYS surpasses my expectations. Not only is the food absolutely delicious but the visual display of the food is truly a work of art. I have referred Taste and company to friends and it is always a wonderful surprise when I show up at a party and she has catered their party too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Cynthia is among best in LA. We did boxed catering which was designed around Covid guidelines for my birthday party and it was a hit. We ordered appetizers, flat iron steak with fresh rosemary and foraged mushroom and fontina flat bread. Caramelized pear and apple quesadilla with tomatillo salsa. Pricing is reasonable and the quality is out of this world. I'd highly recommend.

Cynthia and her team helped us to elevate our party to near legendary status. Her expertise and self-assured but easy going manner put us at ease. She was able to accommodate our last minute requests and the food was absolutely delicious ! Way to go Cynthia! Muchas Gracias!

Cynthia was great to work with. She accommodated all of our special requests and even individually labeled our lunch boxes. Food was great. Would definitely use again.
Taste & Company catered 2 different corporate events for us at Sony Pictures and both were executed incredibly in terms of food, service, and customizing our menu to fit our budget. Cynthia was helpful from start to finish, quickly mocking up a proposed menu within less than 24 hours of us reaching out for a quote request. From there, she was very hands-on throughout the planning, such taking the time to come for a walkthrough of our space a few weeks beforehand, sending us ideas for decor, and even bringing dessert samples for us to try. During the day of each event, the staff was friendly, punctual, and kept up with the demand our constant buffet go-ers, including feeding over 600 people at our biggest event. Everyone loved the family-friendly food and it was a perfect menu for summer time: sliders, chicken nuggets, pigs in a blanket, salad, corn on the cob, watermelon slices, chips, and drinks including infused spa water and lemonade. I would highly recommend Taste & Company for any catered event. We cannot thank them enough for their service!

I was recommended to Taste & Company by multiple people when I posted on numerous facebook pages for requests for caterers for a non-profit event I was hosting. The menu was amazing compared to other bids we had received, while also staying in our budget. Cynthia and I spoke multiple times before the event, and she was willing to answer all my questions that came up along the way. The day of the event, the food arrived hot and on time. It was nice to not have to do any reheating, since we were all so busy still setting up. The food was delicious and there was even enough food for people to come back for seconds! After asking about reviews of the food from a few guests, they were all very positive. I didn't really get to eat at the event because I was so busy, so thank God there were leftovers! I finally tried it once I got home and couldn't stop eating it! I would definitely recommend Taste & Company. Their level of professionalism and amazing food is totally worth it! Thank you, and we'll definitely be keeping you guys in mind for future events!

Once again it was just great!!I have had Taste & Company cater several corporate events over the past fewyears with much success. It is most important the food is delicious and creatively presented; set up on time, and substantial. I am a very busy architectural project manager, so making one phone call is essential. Taste & Company takes it from there. They do it all and with style. Since I began working with this caterer,corporate entertaining has become the easiest part of my job.Thanks Taste & Company looking forward to the next time!!

I have been working with Cynthia (owner) and her catering business for a few years, now. i "inherited" her as a vendor at my workplace and i keep hiring her back year after year. Guests never go home hungry - she is a master of presentation - and her staff is always efficient, organized, and pleasant to work with. If you need full-service, she can provide everything from themed menu ideas to linens, to florals, and of course the food! If you already have an idea, she will bring it to life. If you need an idea, she will offer suggestions. She is also flexible, if you only need particular items/service. If you want to use your own linens and dishes, she will make it work. If you want to provide part of the meal, and have her company fill in the details, she will make it work. Two weeks ago, i realized my work schedule was not going to leave me enough time to cook for our annual Christmas party (60 guests). i emailed Cynthia for help, completely expecting her to be booked, with such short notice. She helped me figure out options for my menu, gave me some suggestions on decor, and arranged for her staff to arrive early to help set up the party at our house. i recommend her with confidence. Food, service, portions, price....Cynthia cultivates loyal clients.
