Feeding a room full of people before a 9am meeting shouldn’t be the hardest part of your day. If your office is in downtown San Diego, whether that’s the Gaslamp, East Village, the Marina District or Broadway’s office towers, F Street Cafe at 530 F Street can take breakfast and lunch off your plate. We serve breakfast and lunch all day, so morning kickoffs, lunchtime trainings and afternoon client sessions are all covered.
Why local catering beats a last-minute delivery app
A delivery app can work for one person’s lunch. For twelve people and a conference room, it gets messy: orders show up at different times, the coffee is lukewarm, and somebody always gets forgotten. A neighborhood cafe that does catering gives you one order, one contact and one setup that arrives together.
At F Street Cafe you deal directly with our Catering Coordinator, who will help you choose the right amount of food for your group and your budget. We say it on our catering materials, and we mean it: we cater to your budget.

Tips for ordering meeting catering downtown
1. Count heads, then add a little. For breakfast meetings, plan on at least one drink per person. Coffee runs out before food does.
2. Mix hot and cold drinks. San Diego mornings can start cool and turn warm fast. Our packages let you choose coffees or teas, hot or cold.
3. Plan for dietary needs. Ask your group ahead of time. Our menu includes vegetarian sandwiches, wraps, salads and fruit and yogurt bowls.
4. Give us 24 hours’ notice. We ask for at least 24 hours on every catering order so we can staff and stock for you. Reach out as soon as your meeting is on the calendar.
5. Make it memorable. A box of croffles on the table gets people talking. It’s a small touch that clients notice.
