I’m smiling now…

But if I don’t get a Bittersweet cake for Father’s Day someone is going to be grounded!”

Forget the ugly tie and give Dad what he REALLY wants for Father’s Day - Bittersweet treats! Call our friendly account executives for an advance order or come into the café to purchase a Bittersweet gift card (so he can take you out for lunch).

Now give Dad back the remote and leave him alone.
Thank you.

You eat here every day…

Now come and work here! Bittersweet Café will be opening soon for evening hours and we’re looking for enthusiastic, people to join the family. Please email resumes to neya@bittersweetcatering.com or come in and fill out an application.

Vacationing With Food

If you keep up with the Bittersweet Newsletter, then many of you may know that last month I was away from my regular article because I was on vacation. But just because I was vacationing didn’t mean I forgot about food safety. Quite the opposite, in fact, and I’m back with several tips for all the vacationers who may be traveling with food this summer. Click here to read the article.

New Item - Piña Colada Tarts

Our pastry chef has done it again! Tempting layers of butter pastry, pineapple and coconut with a naughty touch of rum make this dessert perfect for that pre-vacation meeting or bon voyage cocktail party. Check out all the latest creations on the New Product page.
