“Every event we have ever worked with Kristie on has been a supreme success. Guests raved for weeks about the food. Her menus are creative, original, delectable. I have referred her to so many people, I can’t even keep track!”

“When our committee was planning the Henry Bash last summer, we found the task of feeding 1200+ hungry art lovers on a very limited budget quite daunting. Kristine and The Wandering Cafe jumped right in and rolled their sleeves up. They instantly understood the spirit of the party, and developed a very creative menu that the guests adored and fit our budget. Kristine’s enthusiasm for events she’s worked on here at the museum is inspiring and so very helpful. The Wandering Cafe staff seems to take a real investment in the overall success of the events they work on with us. I can’t wait for the next Bash (and working with them again!)”

“For our wedding, we wanted something distinctive, not the usual bland catered food. The Wandering Cafe gave us a great menu to choose from, and provided an elegant and memorable spread for our guests. More than a year later, people still comment on how wonderful the food was!”

“The Wandering Cafe has proven to be the “go to” caterer for all of my business and personal functions. Not only does Kristie and her team have a fabulous ability to create a menu for any occasion, she also has access to some of the best and most unique spaces to hold an event. Her food is terrific, the service impeccable and when it comes to creative appetizers, no one does it better. Presentation and mood always fit the situation. My team always looks forward to a Wandering Cafe event.

“The Wandering Cafe is an extraordinary culinary asset to the Seattle area, and chef/owner Kristine Pottle is a delight to work with. She offers unique menus, with a personal and customizable touch that I simply have not found with any other caterer. I have been working with the Wandering Cafe for over 5 years and they never disappoint. Chef Kristine knows how to work with a budget and make every event feel special, whether it’s an exclusive executive level reception for high profile guests, a sit down dinner for 250, or a gourmet back yard BBQ. When I need something special, I know I just won’t find anywhere else, the Wandering Cafe is where I go.”

“On behalf of the Eleanor Henry Reed Guild I want to thank you for not only sending us your best in Jaci, Don and Dana but making fresh delicious, filling and beautiful food for our Olive 8 Le Fete Blanche. Thank you for coming in only days before our event. Comments regarding the food were all positive and everyone enjoyed the assortment of choices. With sincere gratitude we thank you and it helped us raise funds for Children’s Uncompensated Care.”

“Kristine Pottle and The Wandering Cafe are creative, fun, and consistently go out of their way to provide outstanding food quality and service. Over the years Kristie has been my go-to gal, from the Henry Ball (a black-tie seated dinner for 300 guests in the museum’s galleries) to The Northwest School’s fundraising event Pizazz! in a tented garden on Lake Washington (where one year the storm was so fierce the servers were soaked but kept smiling). There was no question who to call when planning my Bainbridge Island beach wedding last summer. Kristie presented a perfect menu, the service was fabulous, and every detail was taken care of. She is a Seattle superstar!”

“Kristine, thank you so much for the catering provided for my daughter’s graduation celebration. Everyone enjoyed all of the food and we spent the afternoon trying to decide what item was our favorite. I still can’t decide- everything was delicious. The presentation on the platters was beautiful and the red tulip was perfect, it went with the WSU crimson colors. I am very glad I decided to try the groupon offer, I will definitely recommend you to others and use you again when the need arises. Thank you again for a wonderful presentation.”
