Cobblestone Catering

Incredibly expensive and just OK food.
The problem with this place is that the prices are absurd. I’ve bought the carrot cake and the salmon — both (like everything else there) are OK but priced more than double they should be.

This is my new favourite spot to grab lunch or pre-​prepared food for dinner. Not only is it headed by the coolest woman I have met in a long time, the food is delicious. Their soups are out of this world! They’re all dairy free (no cream/​milk) and taste so smooth and unctuous. And so tasty! I also got a gluten free cookie which was amazing. They truly have something for everyone, whether you’re vegan, gluten free of just love amazing fresh food.

This review is not about the food, everything I’ve ordered the handful of times I’ve been there has been quite good. The one star is regarding the service and how it affected the overall experience, overshadowing the food.
The guy in there — slightly tall, light beard, quick to call every women who walks in «Miss» despite age, kids or if they’re husband’s standing next to them — is wasting his skills as a used car salesmen. If I asked for one item like a quarter piece of duck, I was told he couldn’t sell it to me because no one would want the other half.
Okay, what about the pork roast a half a pound of that; and, again I was told no with no explanation other than he wouldn’t make any money selling it tome that way. I’m sorry then why does the clearly written sign say $ 20 lb.
I should have left then and there as I was beginning to feel unwelcomed. Remembering that I walked in there for some soup for my cold but was tempted by the incredible smells, I went back to that section. When he saw that I wasn’t finding what I was looking for, a half pint of the mushroom soup, this charlatan magically grabs one from somewhere behind the counter and says he has less than the carton left but would offer me a deal. Why not just take one of the larger jars and make two half pints!!!
At this point, I grabbed a different soup and a brownie wanting to get the hell out of there. Clearly, I had a suckers mark on my forehead, he asked if I wanted the cold soup I had hot, which they had just brought out. I said sure and didn’t realize until he rung me up that the same soup «hot» was $ 2 more. I left there with a bitter taste in my mouth their food didn’t eradicate.
I’m not a person quick to leave a bad review about anything. I believe in the law of averages, some places you eat will be good, some will be bad. But this is one experience you don’t expect to have at a the deli-​style shop, where items are by weight, this type of distasteful service.
Clearly, this establishment has some kind of customer in mind and I, a black female graduate student on a budget, am not it and worst was made to feel it — economically undesirable, economically inferior. Something I hadn’t even felt walking into Prada in gym clothes to meet a friend.
It’s a shame the quality of food doesn’t match the quality of service.

Yay ! :D Cobblestone Catering, so good so far. First time here, and already, I think I’m impressed.
I haven’t really tried their meals/​dishes due to the price tag, but there is an item I like, and it deserves the 4 stars, basing the review on it as well. WOOHOO !
(ONLY CON: Can be expensive. Yup. Even if I didn’t have a budget it’d still be a tad expensive for the area and amount you’re getting .-.)
Don’t get me wrong though, it’s still really good quality and flavor, as of what I’ve tasted.
But, hear me out. I don’t know if it’s just me, but the Housemade Chips ($ 5) are awesome-​eeeee! Considering that the chips are housemade and they give you alot + even at farmers markets way smaller amounts of chips are the same price, it’s a good deal.
I haven’t had the sweet potato or tortilla ones because I prefer just regular potato chips, but the housemade chips are so good. They taste like potato chips, but different. I don’t know how to explain it, I just somehow like the flavor of them a lot. The chips are seasoned with the perfect amount of salt as well. (I know it’s just chips, but c’mon, I honestly really like them, so 4 stars: O)
Staff /​Service wise, the people working here seemed really friendly ^_​^
Overall, if you’re looking for great housemade food such as the chips compared to your everyday processed foods, Cobblestone is a good choice: D

Not only is food excellent, the staff is a joy to work with!!!

Mhmm. Mhmm mhmm mhmm. I am currently consuming various things from Cobblestone Catering and am so happy.
I can’t decide what I like more: the kale and chickpea medley (which is so tasty you forget you’re eating kale, thank goodness), the sautéed mushrooms, or the wild rice. There is zero meat on my plate and I’m not even mad about it!
The boxed meals come with either a roll or a cookie. Get the cookie (obviously.) The oatmeal cranberry ones are awesome.
The only thing that gets me about this place is the marketing. Clearly it’s primarily a catering operation but they’ve got such great food inside, I wish they’d broadcast it a bit better. If I’d known they had cold stuff, soup, and sandwiches I’d have stopped in earlier.
There’s also no real seating so everything is to-​go. Which isn’t that big a deal.
Can’t wait to try the sandwiches!

This joint actually has decent prepared foods, too, and is called Cobblestone Foods, so they’re doing themselves a disservice by leaving the title and genre in the catering boxes only.

Their warm sandwiches are underwhelming, but their prepared food is usually solid. It is way overpriced, however ($ 10.50/lb for mac and cheese? $ 14/​lb for veggies?), considering that what they offer is basically a small notch above the Whole Foods hot bar. The best option is the rotisserie chicken dinner or the ¼ chicken lunch special that comes with 2 veggies and a cookie. That rotisserie chicken can be a challenge to eat with the plastic utensils they give you, though; better bring a knife from home. :) Also, one of their chicken curry sandwiches might have given me food poisoning…

I would never use Cobblestone Catering again. They seriously under-​catered my daughter’s wedding and it was a humiliating experience for me. After promising that there would be plenty of food, they ran out of everything — the food for the main courses, the deserts, the fruit and even the bread /​crackers for the cheese. Guests told us that there was not enough to eat. Imagine hearing this after we paid over $ 220 per guest (and the $ 220 does not include the cost for wine and alcohol). The caterer’s wait-​staff were overheard at the end of the evening saying «People are really going home hungry from this wedding.» I regret that I ever used them.

This is one of my favorite lunch spots – really good food, decent price. I usually get the veggie burger and a side of brussel sprouts or asparagus. I’ve tried the lamb sandwich, which is okay, and the falafel sandwich, which is pretty bland. I haven’t tried any of their desserts yet, but they look delicious!

Cobblestone catering is incredible. The most talented team and the most delicious food. I cannot praise them enough for giving us the most wonderful wedding ever! We were married upstate and had tried numerous caterers up there, as well as in the city (including Abigail Kirsch who is overpriced, but doesn’t really have any character to their food) and we were just so impressed by the attention to detail and quality. They were also always willing to work with us on price.
Do not use any caterer but cobblestone. They are a gem.

Incredible food. One of the best sandwiches I’ve had (lamb+tomato+feta) and had sweet potato on the side. Heated up the potato and put some on the sandwich. Delicious. The guys that work there are super informative and seem like they really enjoy the food preparation. If you’re in the hood, go.

It’s all take away, so there’s no where to sit and eat. Had their catfish po’boy and it was fantastic! They have a lot of great prepared foods. Really, really good. Friendly service. Great neighborhood place. Mondays are a $ 1 off all hot sandwiches!

Do you ever walk into a store, and just know that the food is going to be magical & amazing? Yeah, it’s like that.
Cobblestone Foods offers an array of home made, delicious grab’n’go goodies for your taste buds to savor. After hearing my friends rant and rave about this spot, we stopped by to pick up some amazing treats that we would later voraciously consume in the comfort of their apartment.
My favorites:
— The Curried Kale and Chickpea soup was a perfect blend of creamy with a touch of spicy
— Their house made tortilla chips were crispy, salty, and good enough to eat on their own
— Veggie Meatloaf and the potatoes were awesome!
— Kale & Garbanzo salad… because the soup wasn’t enough, I wanted more
— The beets… because beets are just good, okay?
I love that the ingredients labels list about 5 or 6 things for each, and usually stuff you’ve heard of, like onions, garlic, pepper, oil, etc. No chemical nastiness or «food-​like-​substances» here. Healthy and delicious! Whee!
Can’t wait to come back and take some to-​go items next time I’m in the hood!

The food is expensive as hell but it is fresh and good. The lunch specials are good, especially the sandwich and small side options, which I believe are on Mondays. There is a special for each day of the week and the cake, oh the cake is soooooo good. Yeah, it’s $ 7 a slice and yeah it’s not a big slice, but it’s worth at least one buy.

So basically I haven’t written a Unilocal review in at least a year and change, but after finding this place on my way home tonight I decided to start writing reviews again for two reasons:
1. I use Unilocal literally everyday so it’s most likely time I start contributing, and 2. I’m not trying to be dramatic but I think this place might have just changed my life.
The thing is, I really love to cook but barely ever have time or the occasion to do it, and this place makes it completely unreasonable for me to ever go to Chipotle out of laziness again.
I stood there for what felt like about 6 or 7 months trying to decide what to get. I narrowly avoided buying the tomato soup and all the cheese I could carry home to make the ultimate grilled cheese/​soup combo, instead opting for the roasted sweet potatoes (perfect) which the very cool guy at the counter let me try first before committing to (top marks, sir), the blackened salmon (about as good as plain salmon can be, but that one was a health call), and the haricots verts, which were really fresh and good.
In summation: it’s simple, friendly, fresh/​healthy, incredibly satisfying, fairly priced, and I’ll be back at the counter tomorrow night.

I was lured by the sign that said «We are GMO free». I thought this place should have something gluten free for me to eat. So I ask what kind of flours were in the one cookie that was supposed to be gluten free. I asked 2 people and finally got the manager who had major attitude. He said he didnt know what flours were used. I explained that many gluten free eaters had multiple sensitivities like to corn or soy or almond flour. He just kept repeating «Its gluten free» but with an attitude as if I was too demanding to ask him details about what I was eating.
I will never come here again. Everyone was rude and they clearly dont care about the quality of their food or what goes into it. The correct response was to be apologetic and to promise to learn about their ingredients. I dont appreciate people who jump on the gluten free bandwagon to make some cash and have no idea what they are doing

Everything is amazing. The hairy counter guy is awesome and the food is really fantastic.

It is close to our daughter’s school so we stop often on our way home. We love their rotisserie chicken and their choices of side dishes.
Plus, they have nice cookies and sometimes they have deals such as buy 3 and get 4^th free (or something similar).
If you don’t feel like cooking, it’s a good alternative for your dinner time to time.

Hello there, I remember our last visit. In my mind, Cobblestone Foods hold the key to New York City’s finest pickles award. How could it be that pickles are $ 8.99? Well, they are proudly hand-​packed in Brooklyn and did I mention that they are made with all natural ingredients: cucumbers, apple cider vinegar, water, sea salt, chili, garlic and natural spices. What more could we want? One could find out more about them at
. In case that you get bored of these awesome pickles, there is another option, McClure Pickles which boast a stronger spicy flavor. This means that I should revisit to find out if McClure beat Brooklyn Brine in the burn factor.
I went in here earlier today to buy a jar of rye whiskey pickles. A charming lady in the back behind the glass display smiled at me and asked me if I needed help and I nodded yes. A man suddenly appeared at my right to answer my questions. Unfortunately, it was my disappointment to find they were all sold out of them. It was as if others had discovered the same magic in the pickles. Well, minus one star for not having more of Brooklyn Brine in stock and also for not having clear price tags so I had to inquire on specific items. It was really funny to ask the gentleman how much does the Ronnybrook cost, since Blue Marble was only listed, and then how much does the jar of preserves cost, since the sign was missing or gone. I did not want to hassle him twice in a row, but there are some items left unlabeled. Or does it mean that the price varies according to season? I also purchased a jar of apricot orange preserves for $ 7.99, and coffee ice cream from Ronnybrook for $ 6.99. And good news, they accept credit card.
I should mention that I noticed that they have other ready-​to-​eat items which look great. I was more elated to see that they sell Manchego for $ 10.50 per half pound. I absolutely am a huge fan of this Spanish cheese and might just go it for a quarter pound of it. I mean how much cheese could I really eat in a month. Not that much I believe. I also saw rare pastas and delicious bottles that one would find in an Italian delicatessen. Well, nevertheless, I will be back Cobblestone Foods to rescue myself yet another jar of rye whiskey pickles, since my love for these particular pickles goes beyond a price tag.
