Not all catering is created equal.
If you’ve ever sat through a meeting with a stale bagel or a soggy sandwich, you already know that. Too often, corporate or event catering means sacrificing flavor, freshness, or any sense of delight.
At Verzênay, we approach catering differently because we didn’t start with a menu. We started with a croissant people couldn’t stop talking about. And over time, customers asked if we could bring that same quality to their meetings, celebrations, and events.
We said yes. But on our terms.
What We Offer: More Than Just Pastries
Yes, we do cookies, croissants, and sweet treats. But our catering menu goes far beyond dessert.
Our most popular options include:
-
Breakfast & Brunch Sandwiches – Made with in-house chicken patties, Gruyère, or vegetarian fillings on croissants, sourdough, baguette, or brioche buns.
-
Savory Scones & Soups – Including seasonal soups like asparagus and customer-favorite lentil soup.
-
Handmade Pastries – From chocolate chip cookies with real chunks of chocolate to seasonal rugelach, muffins, and gluten-free options.
-
Dessert Platters – Beautifully crafted to feel elevated, personal, and memorable.
This isn’t just food to fill a tray. It’s food that sparks a pause in the meeting.
Food that makes people ask where it’s from. Food that builds connection.
What Makes Verzênay Catering Different?
-
Clean, Seasonal Ingredients – Much of our produce comes directly from farmers at Green City Market, where we’ve had a booth for years. That means your croissant or scone might include fruit picked the day before.
-
Crafted in Small Batches – Everything is made fresh, in-house, by a small, skilled team. No mass-produced shortcuts. No frozen reheatables.
-
Flexible, Human-Centered Service – Need delivery? We offer several options including local courier partners who specialize in high-end restaurant orders. Want to pick it up yourself? That works, too. Need a customized order? We’ll talk it through with you.
Built for Chicago’s Local Needs
Whether you’re feeding a team of 10 or hosting a brunch for 40, our catering is designed to deliver quality, ease, and a little bit of joy.
We’re not trying to compete with chain bakeries. In fact, we’re what you offer instead of them when you want your food to be remembered.
