Huntington Catering truly stands out amongst other caterers, they care about their food and service – and it shows. We hired HC for our wedding to handle our dinner service, bartending and appetizers during cocktail hour. Our initial tasting with them was actually one of our most treasured memories from the wedding process, they treated us so nicely and served us so many options for drinks and dinner that we could choose from. By the end of the tasting, we felt like we had a dream menu for our wedding – and we really did! Plus, they were QUITE generous with the portions they gave us during the tastings … of both the food AND cocktail options lol. Made for a fun, relaxed and delicious experience.
We had a pasta-based menu for the wedding day and it was insanely good. We kept getting raving reviews from our guests about the short rib bolognese, and the service was amazing. HC went out of their way to check on us multiple times throughout dinner and ask if we wanted more of anything, which is made us feel so special and cared for as bride and groom. The chocolate espresso dessert was also a HUGE hit with everyone. The cocktails were also top-notch, I still can’t believe how well they pulled off a pisco sour!
Communication during the wedding process was also great, sometimes they were busy but they always made up for any tiny amount of time I had to wait with their kindness and service. I’m so grateful for the role HC played in our wedding, thank you!!! Pictures are from our tastings, they treat everyone so well!

This place is so cute, and bummed that it took me too long to stop by. It is located in a hard to see corner in the same place as Trader Joe’s. The inside is nicely decorated and the menu is simple and filled with nourishing foods. I walked out with the very berry banana smoothie, and it was so refreshing and delicious!

Absolutely love this place! I take the kids I nanny to this spot and it’s wonderful. There’s a good amount of seating in here so it’s a good place to chill on a hot day while you have a cold drink. They love the cacao crazy smoothie. I’ve gotten food here a couple times and it’s very fresh and great quality. But what I love most is the staff!! I’m kicking myself for forgetting her name but she’s been working here since they opened and she’s there every single time I go in. She has the kids (very specific) order memorized and is always so happy and helpful and we love her so much!! The place wouldn’t be the same without her ❤️ we will continue to come here again and again.

I have wanted to stop in and support this local gem since they opened, and last night made my way in for a smoothie. I’m so glad I chose to support a locally owned place because not only was my smoothie absolutely delicious, the worker was above and beyond kind and really cared not only about where she worked — but about South Pasadena as a community. This is why I love supporting local business… it really makes a difference and maybe the smoothie tasted even better because of the care put in by the worker.

So nice that The Daily has opened! I just tried it today for lunch. They have a selection of grab and go salads, sandwiches, and sides, made fresh each day, and they also have made to order juices, smoothies, and bowls.
I went along with my husband. He ordered the Spicy Italiano sandwich and a green juice. I ordered a custom bowl (“like Chipotle but better” as they told me) and the green smoothie. The bowl seemed pretty simple but it was such a nice combination of ingredients. I added the chicken which was really good, and I got the harissa ranch sauce to finish it- very tasty, a little spicy. We had to sample each other’s choices too. Everything is really fresh with nice high-quality ingredients and the recipes are excellent, more elevated and considered than your typical lunch cafe. The stuff we got was so great, I’m excited to return and try more! We got a side of the Tahini Sweet Potatoes after we finished lunch, to take back home and enjoy with dinner.
The employees are super friendly and helpful too. And they are closed on weekends so plan accordingly. This cafe is run by Huntington Catering so you could also have them cater your events and parties. They do their catering tastings here at The Daily too!

i think this place is seriously underrated. i was originally skeptical because they replaced the goat grassroots ( rip ) but i came in for a bowl and a smoothie and really enjoyed both. the bowls are like a healthier chipotle- you choose a base (salad, quinoa or rice), a protein, and several toppings. i believe you can make the bowls into wraps, too. they also have sandwiches, smoothies, and juices. i think the prices are pretty fair for the quality/ everything tasted super fresh and healthy. also the smoothies are 20 oz for $10-12- and are a healthier and imo tastier alternative to the crazy expensive jamba juice that’s in the same parking lot. overall i will be back and i reccomend!

Justin and the team at Huntington Catering were absolute delights to work with! From our first meeting at their restaurant, we felt in such good hands talking to their team about the specifics of what we wanted the general vibe to be for the food and bar service. For our tray passed cocktail hour, they were super collaborative and allowed us to continue to try items until we found the options we thought were perfect. The menu was inventive and the bites were super flavorful and a giant crowd pleaser. For the bar service, they went above and beyond in creating two signature cocktails for us, both of which were absolute highlights amongst guests at the reception. The serving and bartending staff were top notch: friendly, accommodating, and incredibly efficient. We used an outside vendor for our dinner and they were professional in their collaboration with the other team, creating a seamless dinner service for us and our guests while also providing a delicious family-style selection of sides to pair perfectly with the main entree. We had a large portion of guests coming in from out of town and many of them said the food was the most interesting and delicious they had ever had at a wedding! Their team made sure everything from alcohol needed to plate rentals was taken care of which was a huge amount of stress off our shoulders. If we ever needed to cater an event again there’s no other company we would go to!

My family (wife and two toddlers) loved the food and juices from here! We got the Green Goddess sandwich, tahini sweet potatoes (absolutely divine), berry oats, a green juice, an immunity juice, and a tropical paradise smoothie. It was all healthy and tasty. The juices and smoothies were freshly made to order. The green juice was amazing, no bitterness at all and the kids loved it. The service and staff were very friendly and fast. Will definitely bring the fam back for more food and juices.

Huntington Catering made our outdoor wedding in Malibu Canyon an incredible event! From start to finish, Justin and his team were knowledgeable, helpful, responsive, and an absolute joy to work with. We were expertly guided on where to place things for the reception and special moments, and all of Justin’s instincts were spot on. It worked out so beautifully. The food was elegantly presented and incredibly delicious–our guests are still raving about the meal! Even the vegans were thrilled with their dinner (which is not an easy feat!) Every detail was handled with care, from rentals to cake cutting, and all with flawless timing. The whole team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to have the most magical day, and really enjoy our party!! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!
