Our Story

Fresh Business Catering

Decades of valuable experience. From formal cooking school and legendary restaurants to catering for Presidents, Princes, and CEOs—down to intimate Valentine's dinners and family gatherings. Antoinette and Sean have been there, if not done that. We could name names, but we'd rather that you try our food. With Lunch-in we are making simple, satisfying, and delicious hand-made food.

Our Mission

Delicious Meals, Eco-Friendly Practices

At Lunch-in, we believe lunch is more than a meal — it's a time to connect, recharge, and enjoy something delicious. Inspired by Oakland and the Bay Area's vibrant food culture, we craft fresh, bold dishes that celebrate flavors local and far.

Our Daily Changing Menu keeps things exciting with locally sourced, organic ingredients, when possible, that showcase California's bounty. More than just serving meals, we build relationships — supporting businesses and fostering community. Plus, we're committed to sustainability, from using compostable packaging and recyclable materials to green practices in our kitchen.

From owners Antoinette and Sean to our passionate chefs, we're here to make every meal special. Dig in and enjoy!
