How Our Event Catering Service Works

Simple Ordering, Custom Flavors, Owner-Operated Delivery

Booking NICE JARZ! for your event is straightforward. Choose your flavors from our rotating menu of small-batch, hand-layered desserts. Each order requires a minimum of 10 jars per flavor, ensuring freshness and consistency for every guest. Select your preferred vessel: glass mason jars for a premium look, or compostable cups for easy, eco-friendly service. Our menu includes popular picks like Key Lime Pie, Ooey Gooey Brownie, and customer-driven specials like the 'Extra Wet' Tres Leches. Dietary needs such as vegan, sugar-free, and gluten-friendly are always welcome, though we remind customers that our kitchen is not certified gluten-free. Submit your order at least one week in advance. We do not accept rush or same-day orders, so we can prepare everything with care. We deliver free within 30 minutes of Castro Valley, covering Hayward, San Leandro, Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, and Walnut Creek. For venues outside this range, a delivery fee applies. Setup support and custom labels are available upon request.
