What's included

The good stuff, handled.

Real ingredients, no industrial shortcuts

Same fruit, same granola, same standards as the shop. If we wouldn’t serve it on the line, we won’t serve it at your event.

Serving setup included

Bowls, spoons, cups, and napkins included — you don’t do dishes.

Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free options

Built into the menu — not an afterthought. Most of our bowls and smoothies are dairy-free by default.

Allergen-aware kitchen

We label everything, ask the right questions, and adapt. Tell us what your group needs and we’ll build around it.

FAQ

Quick answers, no run-around.

How far in advance do I need to order?

Standard lead time is 48 hours. For groups of 50 or more, please give us at least 4 days so we can prep enough fresh fruit.

What's the minimum order?

Catering starts at $15/person, with no hard headcount minimum — small office breakfasts and big graduation parties are both fair game. Tell us your group size and we'll build the right spread.

Do you deliver?

Pickup is free at all 7 Illinois locations. Delivery is available within 10 miles of your nearest shop for a fee — we'll quote it when we send your package.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes — vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free are baked into our menu. Tell us what your group needs in the form and we'll build around it.

Can you customize the menu?

Absolutely. Tell us what your group loves — flavors, formats, themes — and we'll build a spread that fits.

Do you provide setup or staff?

Drop-off is the standard — we deliver everything ready to serve, with disposable serving setup included. For weddings, off-sites, or larger events, we can also set up on-site. Tell us in the form.

What if I need to cancel or change my order?

Cancellations are free up to 72 hours before your event. After that, the deposit (50% upfront) is non-refundable since we've already prepped the fresh fruit.

How does payment work?

We collect 50% upfront to lock your date, with the balance due on the day of your event. Major cards accepted; corporate invoicing available on request.
