Corporate catering in Boston doesn’t have to be predictable. With Milk Street Cafe’s Build Your Own Catering Stations, you can turn an ordinary lunch meeting into a memorable team experience. Whether you're planning a weekly treat, a themed celebration, or just want to show your appreciation, our interactive Taco Bar, Pasta Bar, and Tater Tot Bar bring flavor, flexibility, and fun to the workplace.

Let’s dive into why build-your-own catering is the next big thing in office events—and how you can make it work for your team.

Why “Build Your Own” Works for Office Catering

Interactive & Engaging: Instead of boxed meals or buffet lines, DIY catering stations invite employees to customize their own plates. It’s fun, inclusive, and sparks conversation.
Something for Everyone: From gluten-free pasta to vegan sour cream on your tacos, our catering bars offer options for all dietary preferences—including vegetarian and kosher office catering.
Boosts Office Culture: Shared food experiences bring teams closer. Whether it’s a casual Friday lunch or an annual milestone party, food stations set the tone for community and celebration.
Flexible for Any Time of Day: Hosting a breakfast meeting? A lunch-and-learn? After-hours celebration? Our build-your-own bars can be tailored to fit your schedule and vibe.

Taco Bar Catering in Boston: Turn Any Day into Taco Tuesday

Nothing energizes a team like tacos. Our Taco Bar catering includes crowd-pleasers like Chicken Tinga, Carne Asada, and Ground Beef Chorizo, along with vegan-friendly sides like black beans, Spanish rice, and guacamole. Add toppings like pickled red onions, shredded lettuce, and salsa roja, and you’ve got a fiesta in the making.

When to Serve It:

Taco Tuesday (obviously!)
Cinco de Mayo office party
Team wins or department celebrations

Party Idea:

Host a “Lunch Fiesta Friday” with themed music, decorations, and mocktails. Let teams decorate their own tacos and vote for “best creation.”

Pasta Bar Catering for Corporate Events: Comfort Food with Class

Our Build Your Own Pasta Bar catering is perfect for when you want something hearty, warm, and customizable. Choose from a variety of pastas and sauces, like Alfredo, Marinara, and Pesto Cream. Add sautéed vegetables, roasted garlic, shredded parmesan, and proteins to build a delicious and satisfying plate.

When to Serve It:

Wellness Wednesdays – fuel your team with comfort food packed with vegetables
Monthly milestone lunches
Client appreciation days

Party Idea:

Try a “Pasta Passport” theme — set out different regional toppings (Italian, Mediterranean, vegan fusion) and let employees travel the world by plate.

Tater Tot Bar Catering in Boston: A Breakfast (or Brunch) Crowd-Pleaser

Craving something cozy for the morning? Our Tater Tot Bar catering is a hit for breakfast meetings and early team huddles. Pair crispy tots with toppings like scrambled eggs, beef bacon, vegan nacho cheese, guacamole, and roasted veggies.

When to Serve It:

Monday Morning Kickoff Meetings
Brunch & Brainstorm Sessions
New hire welcome breakfasts

Party Idea:

Create a “Build-A-Brunch” buffet with tater tots as the centerpiece. Add mimosa mocktails, fruit platters, and coffee stations for a relaxed, high-impact morning.
