Make Your Next Event Stand Out
Pop Up Dessert Stations and Unique Event Treats
Hosting an event in the Bay Area should be fun, memorable, and stress-free. That’s why NICE JARZ! focuses on on-site service pop ups and event dessert catering, perfect for anyone tired of the usual cakes and cookies. Our pop up stations are favorites at community festivals, corporate gatherings, and private celebrations, earning us awards and a loyal following. Every NICE JARZ! pop up features hand-layered desserts in convenient 4 oz or 8 oz jars or compostable cups, made from scratch by owners Kim and Janet. We offer a wide variety of flavors, including Banana Cream, Lemon Bar, Tres Leches, and vegan, gluten-friendly, and sugar-free options, so every guest feels welcome. Service pop ups are ideal for high-volume events, large weddings, or company functions where you want every detail just right. With a minimum order of 10 jars per flavor and one week’s notice, we ensure every batch is fresh, personal, and worthy of your milestone. Our setup eliminates the need for cutting, plating, or utensils. Just grab, enjoy, and share.
Award-Winning Quality and Local Trust
Why Event Planners and Hosts Choose NICE JARZ!
When you choose NICE JARZ! for your event pop up or festival booth, you’re choosing a woman-owned business recognized by the Castro Valley community for both quality and service. Our hand-layered jars have won 2nd Place for Best Pop-Up and 3rd Place for Best Dessert, and our commitment to inclusivity means no guest is left out. We offer free delivery within 30 minutes of Castro Valley, covering Oakland, Hayward, San Leandro, Walnut Creek, Dublin, Pleasanton, and more. If your event is further away, we’ll work with you to arrange delivery at a fair rate. Our desserts are made in a commercial kitchen, and while we offer gluten-friendly options, we’re always transparent about ingredients for guests with dietary needs. Each pop up is personally managed by Kim and Janet, so you get the passion and care of owner-operators, not just another catering crew. We’re not cupcakes, not cookies, and never too sweet. We’re NICE JARZ!, and we create dessert moments your guests will remember.
How Our Service Pop Ups Work
From Booking to Set Up: Your Event, Our Process
Booking a NICE JARZ! pop up is simple. Start by choosing your event date and selecting from our menu of over 30 flavors, with a minimum of 10 jars per flavor. Let us know if you need vegan, sugar-free, or gluten-friendly varieties, and we’ll confirm your order with one week’s notice. You pick your vessel: classic 4 oz or 8 oz glass mason jars for a premium look, or compostable cups for high-volume outdoor events and festivals. On the day of your event, Kim or Janet will personally deliver and set up your dessert station within our service area, which includes Castro Valley, Oakland, Dublin, and other nearby cities. Our pop up stations are designed for easy, grab-and-go service, reducing labor and food waste. Each jar is labeled, beautifully layered, and ready for guests to enjoy—no slicing, serving, or guessing about dietary restrictions. For large events, ask about our custom labels or themed displays. We handle the details so you can focus on your guests.
