Here's a heartfelt review you could consider leaving for Little Bear Catering:

I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to Little Bear Catering for their incredible generosity and kindness.
After losing our home in the recent Eaton Fire disaster, along with my sister's and two other families who were also in attendance, they provided a beautiful, delicious meal for our party of 40—completely free of charge.
Their support during such a difficult time meant more than words can express. Not only did they feed us all, but they also filled our hearts with warmth and comfort, offering a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos. The food was absolutely amazing, and their kindness is something we will never forget.
Thank you, Little Bear Catering, for showing us such compassion and generosity. You have made a lasting impact on us during a challenging time, and we will always remember your incredible gesture.

The food was tasty and reasonably priced.
Delivery was drop off only and arrived the time promised. No setup and serving was requested for this party so I can’t rate that but I would highly recommend trying Cassie and Little Bear Catering for food for your event.

Spoke with Cassie about catering an elopement reception for my husband and I, and with her chef team they created a personal menu for us to honor our Filipino and Chinese cultures. She also made laminated menus with our names and her and Chef Dylan beautifully decorated the kitchen island where the food was served from. They helped with plate cleanup, and the whole party was amazed by the delicious menu options. We had a couple special dietary restrictions for some guests and Cassie worked with that so we had options for them. Honestly, I’m so impressed with their food and service, I’ll definitely use them in the future or suggest them to friends around LA as well. Pricing was very fair for the menu and we even still have tons of leftovers. Thank you Cassie and Little Bear! We loved it, and husband said ten stars!!! More...

Little Bear Catering was fantastic. Not only did Cassie help customize a perfect menu, the food was absolutely delicious. My guests were impressed with the quality of the food, the taste, and presentation. Everyone had numerous servings and there was still leftovers! Cassie really went out of her way to help me host a perfect dinner for 25 people and added a personal touch of table decor while I was unable to do much after recovering from surgery. Overall, this was a great experience especially considering I contacted her a day prior. I highly recommend this company. Thank you so much. More...

Working with Little Bear Catering was an incredible experience. In Los Angeles, I temper my expectations regarding customer service, but the representatives from Little Bear truly listened to what I needed and offered solutions based on their extensive knowledge. They also presented suggestions beyond what I had considered, options in line with emerging trends in the industry. On the day of the shoot, all of their employees were early setting up to ensure at call time, they were ready to serve. All of their staff were friendly and seemed genuinely interested in the needs of everyone involved. I will be using Little Bear for all future projects. More...

Little Bear catering was THE hit of the party!! I had never heard of them, but when Cassie reached out in response to my search for catering for my birthday event, from our first contact I had a feeling I was in good hands! Her level of detail and creativeness in preparing a feast with our theme and staying within our budget was more than I could’ve hoped for! The guests were blown away, as was I ! I will definitely use again for all my events! Highly recommend! Top notch!😍 More...
