We used Hope for our October 2022 wedding. We had a very clear vision of what we wanted, incorporating cuisine from both central NY (the bride's homestate) and Michigan (the groom's homestate). With Hope's patience and expertise, she crafted a truly unique and absolutely delicious menu. No exaggeration - every guest raved about how much they loved the food. You will not go wrong in hiring her for your catering. Because of her experience in the area, she was also able to suggest other amazing vendors for drinks and desserts.

Excellent!

Hope & her wonderful team catered our wedding at the Fontainebleau Inn and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. She and her staff arrived early, stayed late and went above and beyond. From start to finish, Hope was accessible, professional and easy to work with. She listened to what we wanted food wise and offered suggestions based on years of experience. It was reassuring knowing that our wedding was in good hands. Thanks Hope!

Excellent soups, lots of grab and go items available. Very friendly service. Breakfast sandwiches have real eggs and are delicious. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're looking for a nice change of pace.

10/2018- they are open for "lunch" with a limited menu. Their sandwiches are super fresh and tasty! Will certainly return. So glad to finally get a good deli option at Community Corners!

Love the service and the food. Breakfast sandwiches made with real butter, lunch sandwiches and salads and amazing muffins.

Excellent baked goods, and now open for lunch. Warm environment, convenient parking lot in front of the Cafe, and a great staff who make you feel right at home. Don't miss this gem of an Ithaca bakery.

I was not impressed with Hope's Catering. Firstly, we had a largely gluten-free population so I requested some items be altered--specifically, dip NOT in a bread bowl. She did not follow directions. She also did not get us a final quote until the day before the event, and her communication was very poor. The food was also dry, and not very good. I would steer clear of Hope's Catering!

Hope is AMAZING. I cannot say enough about how wonderful she is or how tasty her cooking is. She catered our July 2017 wedding at the Fontainebleau Inn in Alpine, New York as well as our rehearsal at Buttermilk Falls State Park. Every one of our guests loved the food and could not stop raving about how fantastic it was. It’s been 6 months since our wedding and we are still receiving complements about the food - it really was that good! On top of everything else, Hope was there to support us, provide menu planning help and work with us to design our favors (a delicious homemade cookie, made fresh for our guests). I highly recommend Hope to anyone planning a wedding or any large event.
