Common Questions
FAQ — Large Orders & Catering Pickup
What's the difference between your catering pickup and a full-service caterer? ▾
Full-service caterers staff your event, set up, serve, and clean up on-site. We don't do that. We're a King Street café — you order food and coffee from our menu in large quantities, pick it up at 471 King Street, and take it where you need it. Think of it as catering to go in Charleston rather than catering delivery. No minimums, no contracts, just good food ready when you need it. (The exception is our mobile coffee cart, which we do bring to your location.)
How far in advance do I need to place a large group order? ▾
For large carryout orders in Charleston — platters, trays, boxed lunches for 10+ people — at least 24 hours notice is ideal. For very large orders (50+), give us a couple of days. Call us at 843-327-0347 to confirm timing and availability. Smaller orders can often be placed through online ordering with less lead time.
Do you do sandwich platters and salad trays for offices? ▾
Yes — this is one of our most common orders. Sandwich platters and salad trays for Charleston offices, boardroom lunches, and corporate meetings are available from our full menu. Call ahead with your headcount and pickup time and we'll have everything ready for you.
What's a family meal catering order and do you do those? ▾
If you're feeding a family gathering, reunion, or celebration at home — yes. We do family meal catering in Charleston in the sense that you order enough food for your group as a pickup order. We don't staff or deliver to your house, but you can pick up a full spread from our menu and take it wherever you're celebrating.
Can I get boxed lunches for a corporate event or training day? ▾
Absolutely. Boxed lunches in Charleston are a popular option for training days, lunch-and-learns, and all-hands meetings where individual portions work better than shared platters. Call us with your headcount and we'll set it up. Works great as corporate lunch catering without the overhead of a full-service contract.
How does the mobile espresso cart work? ▾
We bring a fully equipped espresso setup to your location — office, venue, outdoor event, wherever. We set up, serve your guests lattes, cappuccinos, cold brew, and specialty drinks, then pack up. Cart bookings are taken by phone only at 843-327-0347. Great alongside a party platter or catering pickup order, or booked on its own.
Is there a minimum order size for party platters or group food? ▾
No formal minimum — but calling ahead for orders of 10+ people helps us make sure everything is prepped correctly and ready on time. Smaller orders can go right through online ordering. For party food pickup in Charleston with no minimums and no catering contracts, we're one of the more flexible options on King Street.
