Chive Catering + Events

We hired Chive to cater our 44-person reception, and we also opted for Suzy's coordination/planning services - everything was PERFECT. We didn't get to try any food beforehand as we live out-of-state, but we trusted Suzy and wow - she nailed it. Every single thing I tasted was delicious. We had so many guests complimenting the food, and they didn't even realize it was vegan! The planning, coordinating, and decor was perfect. We gave Suzy a lot of freedom, and she blew it out of the water. It was such a great time, and Suzy and her employees were a big part of that. Thank you SO MUCH!

The BEST vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to. I’ve been a customer for 5 years and have never been disappointed. The amazing food is just a start.. many great cocktails and deserts as well.

Brown sugar latte was good. Everything else was not. The sweet potato fries were $12 and had maybe a teaspoon of sauce on them, then at the bottom were 5 strips of tofu… I got a bahn mi and several ingredients were missing. No cilantro in sight, no scallions. But there were an absolute ton of carrots that tasted…not great. The jalapeños tasted like sweet peppers and were not spicy in the slightest. The dishes they serve in are also difficult to use because the sides are so high you have to kind of scrape down the sides to get your sandwich out. I find it weird they use to go containers for dine in, I know they used to have actual plates and silverware. My mug was cracked bad enough there were gaps in the ceramic which makes me question what could be trapped in the gaps bacteria/old food wise. 15 minutes after leaving, the food was not settling very happy in my stomach either. The kitchen already seemed overwhelmed so I didn’t want to bother them and I leave reviews for myself when I wonder how it was I can reference it again.

Honestly not sure why it took me so long to write a review for Chive because I've thought about this place everyday since I ate here. First of all, it's so wonderful going somewhere and knowing you can order anything on the menu. It's truly a beautiful thing. Then, when all of those things on the menu sound delicious... It's incredible. I had a really hard time deciding what to get, but we ended up with the spicy nachos, buffalo burrito, buffalo seitan sandwich, and banana cake. The nachos were so good I immediately regretted not ordering another plate of them for my entree. They were loaded with toppings and definitely big enough to share. I didn't try the burrito but my boyfriend also gave Chive 5 stars so... I'm assuming it was good. The buffalo sandwich was HUGE and delicious. Huge piece of crispy-breaded seitan loaded with buffalo sauce. The fries weren't super crispy but they were well-seasoned and still delicious. We got the banana cake to-go because we were stuffed by this point, and I'm so glad it was a giant slice so we could eat it twice. I haven't had too many cakes since going vegan, but this cake was one of the best cakes I've ever had -- vegan and non-vegan. My birthday is 8 months away and I'm still looking forward to ordering it then. Another great thing about Chive is it's next to The Cheese Lady, which sells Violife cheeses. The only bad thing about this place is it's kind of far away from me and not really on the way to anything... But it's so good I'll make the drive just for them.

Ten out of five stars. My wife and I have been to Chive so many times. We've done many repeated Sunday brunches that have all been excellent, we've brought many friends and relatives to enjoy, and we've of course enjoyed their top knotch dinners. Most importantly, Chive catered our anniversary party yesterday. Suzy and the Chive staff were amazing every step of the process, from planning to menu to payments to delivery and set up. And wow, the food they brought to the table was ridiculously good. Appetizers, mains, desserts, all worth fighting over (but there was no need because portions were also reasonable). Our party had some vegans but mostly was comprised of omnivores and everyone absolutely raved about and praised the food. No one else could have done it better. Highly highly recommended for dining in and for catering.

Wow! My wife and I had our wedding at the end of May, and Suzy and the team at Chive handled our food, drinks, décor, and day-of coordination. It was truly an incredible experience—our wedding was even more beautiful than we could have imagined, and we have Chive to thank for that. Let’s start with the food. We wanted something special for our guests (and ourselves), and Suzy crafted a thoughtful, homemade menu that reflected our exact tastes. The mushroom and pea pasta, lemon chicken with squash, Caesar salad, grilled asparagus—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. And the dessert spread was elegant and delicious: fruit, doughnuts, and the best chocolate banana cake I’ve ever had. She also created inventive and refreshing signature cocktails that were a big hit. The décor was just as impressive. Suzy helped us bring our gem-inspired color palette to life with rich greens, purples, and blues that created such a unique and elegant vibe. On the big day, she and her team did an amazing job with setup, smoothing out details, and making sure everything ran seamlessly. We truly couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Suzy and Chive, for helping make our wedding unforgettable!

This place is a Michigan treasure! Absolutely amazing food and so many great dishes, you will start planning your next visit before you leave. Totally loved the ginger sangria and fried artichoke bowl and the tofu started I can't remember the name of. The location is in the heart of downtown Farmington so lots of places to explore and enjoy as part of your visit.

Five stars for vegan lovers. Amazing restaurant for pure vegetarians. I went with my niece who is allergic to dairy and gluten. This is by far the perfect place for her. Not so much for me though. Service is a bit slow ~ 30-35 mins wait time after the order. Citrus tacos would be the best bet for someone not very keen on the vegan diet. My fiancé got the house burger, didn't taste great and I got the jalapeño burger wasn't great either but the fries with the burger were killer. I recommend chili cheese, citrus tacos and the best -chocolate cake for folks not so keen on vegan However my niece loved it she's 3.
