Brian Catered a luncheon I had for the Oakland women’s rowing club. Serving 36 women, six of them being vegan, he crafter the absolute Perfect menu. Ceviche, sliders, a berry salad, mushroom empanadas as well as pulled pork, shrimp skewers, and a beautiful vegetable medley. Casual, yet elegantly displayed, the flavor of each dish was outstanding. I can hardly wait for his Montclair location to open. I couldn’t recommend Cafe 15 more adamantly.

I had a great experience ordering from Cafe 15. The packaging was efficient and kept the food hot. The fried chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the citrus slaw was a fantastic topping, something I’d never had but quickly became a fan of. The salad was a perfect complement to the meal. I highly recommend giving Cafe 15 a try and I will be ordering from them again. Can’t wait to try in person!Vegetarian options: They have a plant-based lunch box!

The food we had was great! The chicken in Buddha bowl was moist and seasoned well and their homemade Tahini sauce was amazing. I also very much so enjoyed their steak taco with Yucca fries. Very good. I look forward to eating Cafe15 again

I had two meals from Cafe 15. I had a quinoa and steak burrito and I also had the Yam and Butter nut soup. Let me tell you! I am generally not a soup eater. But that Yam and butternut soup were absolutely incredible. I love the sauce, the sliced soft potatoes inside, the way the sauce worked together with the other flavors to deliver such a rich, creamy, tasty soup. The steak was excellently cooked and was easy to bite through. The quinoa was also tasty. I also appreciated how easy it was to prepare. Take it out the bag and put in the stove top and thats it. Dinner time!! I had a wonderful experience with Cafe 15 and I would highly recommend.

We love this food! And the people who make and deliver it. The plant-based and vegan options are creative and delicious and well -balanced. There's a lot of value in it for us to not have to decide what to make or buy, and just get a great healthy surprise each week. We do three meals per week x2 people. I also appreciate their sustainable packaging efforts. Wonderful service - highly recommend.

This is a purely subjective review: Hello, our name is Amit, and we are very picky eaters. Now that we have that out of the way let’s talk about café fifteen. Initially, this was a test run for us to see if it would be possible to get restaurant quality food as delivery and yet have it maintain its dine-in experience taste and experience. The food here is very much on the health-conscious side. If we were to say… hmm… be “chasing the carrot,”; you know what we’re talking about, haha, the gym life; we would use them for all our meal preparation needs. Since we are not chasing the carrot ?, flavor is critical to us. Some menu items are just too bland. That being said, there are menu items that are just amazing. As we have already established, we are very picky eaters; for us to make such a powerful statement shows the detail and care that goes into every meal that comes out of café fifteen. We are massive fans of their burgers. Every one of them is handcrafted, laid out layer by layer, and seasoned so delicately, making sure not to overdo it; the balance in favor is just there; it hits all restaurant vibes, not just any restaurant; we are talking some of our tops ones. Okay, so we are not talking about the dining part of the experience; you know that, go put on a VR headset and then eat the meal, haha. These burgers are not meant to be just “thrown in the microwave”; to get the whole “experience” of the flavors, you must prepare them individually to ensure the correct temp is hit. So yes, there is some conditioning time, but don’t start shaking your heads… we know we also hate preparation. But take it from us; it’s not that bad of a task. Then again, you can throw it in, and we’re sure 90% of you will LOVE it ?; not saying you all aren’t as picky as us, haha. What we love about café fifteen is that they listen to all customer feedback on food items. Yes, they LISTEN. So let them know if you want to be heard and feel something would taste better with “insert your subjective taste statement here” ? As our time with you ends, we want to let you all know that we are incredibly pleased with café fifteen and most of their menu items. Big thanks to the owners and chefs for accepting our constructive feedback, ?

I have been on the Cafe 15 dinner subscriptions for a few months, close to a year now, and I have been absolutely amazed by the quality and taste of the meals. The costumer service here is the best. You can reach out and they will cater to your dietary needs. If you decide to change up you dinner subscription, they got you. I have loved their service so much that I even decided to have them cater some of my work events. Participants from my program now request for Cafe 15 for our program food.

Cafe 15 is the best! I have weekly nutrition focused meals delivered to my house and I’m always excited to see what the menu holds. Meals are healthy AND delicious. I feel good eating it and feel even better after. Meals are cooked and made with so much love and respect. You can just feel it. I also use Cafe 15 for work events and our team has LOVED the meals. Thanks Cafe 15! Y’all are awesome :)

I opted in for Café 15’s dinner subscription for my little one as a desire for him to eat healthier And still have the yummy taste he loves ! So far it’s been a life saver ! They’re quick and easy to reheat when he’s hungry and they’ve saved me time cooking. What else can a busy mom ask for ! Thanks Café 15 ?

Smokin Woods is NOT a funky BBQ place like I imagined. The décor is modern and clean. The staff all wear uniform t-shirts. 1st impression, the staff are really open friendly and helpful given we all need more direction/patience to navigate each business' COVID protocol. I got the 4 meat platter that included 2 sides and a sweet bun. The dish was about $26, not cheap, but what BBQ is cheap in the Bay Area anymore? It was enough food that I couldn't finish and needed a box so I don't feel ripped off. The food was A-MAZE-BALLS. Sauce was served on the side and there was minimal rub used on the meats so you could taste the smoke. We got ribs, brisket, pulled pork and tri-tip. Our sides were mac and cheese, collards and beans. The mac was home made with oversized noodles, and melted cheese on top. Collards were cooked perfectly. The beans also seemed to be made in-house as they weren't as sweet as the canned baked beans. These had a little sweetness, but mostly savory and smoky. I have to come back to the staff though. There were just genuinely pleasant and helpful and kind.

Oh my gosh...so good!! I ordered the Veggie Mac Melt - full of flavor! Much better than I was expecting for a non-meat dish. It's mac n cheese and grilled veggies on top of a french roll with Sweet Heat sauce. Everyone else I was with loved the ribs and brisket too! I would definitely go back. We were too full to get dessert, but maybe next time. Staff is so welcoming and friendly! -Street Parking (metered) -Self seating -Bar available
