Description

Specialties

Breadfruit can best be described as Caribbean fusion cuisine; The flavors are of French, Spanish, and African roots. It is food with a «kick». We specialize in jerk meats and original recipes utilizing Caribbean style flavors.

History

Established in 2011.

Breadfruit Catering began in my home kitchen with my then roommate Tracy. Each night we would concoct a three course meal while dreaming of running a food truck, offering Caribbean cuisine. Then in 2010 We set out to do just that. I went to culinary school and got a degree in culinary arts. We did our first gig in 2011 at the Crucible in Oakland Ca. Menu consisted of Tostones, Rice and beans, Salad, Jerk Chicken and Caribbean stile slaw.

In short:
Delicious food, creative eating options, and service that is both friendly and accomodating. The missing star is for the only thing the meal was missing: a little spice and fresh (er) beverage options.
Longer version:
In mid-​September, I volunteered with a local non-​profit and, to say thank you, they provided us with a delicious lunch catered by Breadfruit Catering Company. Eric, the owner, grilled creative pizza pies, flavorful chicken and short ribs, and crispy romain lettuce on his portable BBQ.
Although I couldn’t eat the pizza myself («boo» to lactose intolerance), all of the other volunteers raved about the Asparagus-​Mushroom combination and, for some of the younger volunteers, Eric happily made ‘regular” pepperoni pizza on request. I immersed myself in the BBQ’d short ribs and chicken which he had prepared 3 different ways all of which were full of flavor and absolutely delicious. Although I have seen pizza cooked on a BBQ before, I was a little surprised to see him grill up a few heads of romain lettuce. With a light coating of oil and seasoning, it was grilled until slightly soft and was incredible! I could eat it all day.
In general, the food was fantastic — it was enough to feel satisfied without feeling too full to be functional. My personal taste for spices runs a little «hotter» than most Americans, and I had hoped at least one of the BBQ options would have been spicy but I do not doubt that Eric could throw down the spice if you asked him to. I took away a star partially for the lack of spicier food but also because this gourmet meal was served with regular soda (root beer, sprite, coke etc) and boring bottled water and I think it would have been much better complimented by some fresh fruit juice. Still, in all fairness, this might have been a choice made by the person who ordered the catering for us that day.
My advice: Definitely call Breadfruit to cater for your next event. I’m sure that, if you request fresh juice and spicier food, you’ll come back and give this place a full 5 star rating.
