Summer is here; who wants to be in the office? What about this idea: Let Calvert Cafe & Catering bring you and your entire office some liquid sunshine with our fresh, delicious smoothie bar. We cater the best ingredients (think luscious strawberries, golden pineapple, juicy mango, blueberries bursting with vitamins and flavor — well, you get the picture) and make your icy-wonderful smoothies to order while you watch. You could ask a co-worker to play this song in the background to get you in the mood: . Or hey, this one!
We’ll also blend in nutritious whey (or soy; just request it and we’ll bring it) protein powder, and you’ll have a healthy, balanced smoothie that gives you energy and pleasure. Want spinach? We’ve never had a request for it before, but there’s always a first time.
Call or email us today and schedule a Spring Smoothie break (it’s a mini-vacation!) for your office. A great and very affordable idea for a Friday afternoon!
PS: We don’t know why that Nickel Creek song is called the “Smoothie Song.” Do you?

Ties have been done. Socks and golf paperweights are “meh.” This little girl does a great job on her Father’s Day gift, but for those of you more musically challenged, Calvert Café & Catering has an idea for you. How does a dip into gourmet heaven sound? Our premium gift baskets contain a luxurious array of treats for the fathers and grandfathers in your life.
Building on a foundation of local, fresh-roasted coffee beans (1 lb), we’ve added a box of Tazo black and green teas; flaky and delicate Pur Beurre Aux Fromage pastry twists; Marcona sea-salted almonds from Spain; organic Peanut Butter Pretzel Nuggets; an 8 oz jar of raw NC Sourwood honey from Lee’s Bees; a 2.7 oz round of organic, stone ground Vanilla Chocolate Mexicano from Taza Chocolate; a bag of College Farm’s smooth and delicious organic vanilla caramel hard candies; and a refreshing bottle of San Pellegrino.

Convenience meets nutrition in this fabulous idea: why not have Calvert Cafe & Catering bring your entire office a set of boxed lunches every Monday? We can schedule a once-a-week or twice-a-week delivery on the day of your choice, and deliver straight to you at lunchtime. Our boxes often include a generous sandwich or wrap, chips or fresh, delicately-seasoned potato salad, and of course a delectable dessert. And like everything Calvert, our boxed lunches are completely customizable. Here are some sandwich combinations we think you might savor:
- Turkey & Brie Baguette
- Albacore Tuna Salad on Harvest Wheat Bread
- Turkey & Havarti on Sourdough
- Roast Beef with Asiago & Horseradish
- Tarragon Chicken Salad on Pecan Raisin Bread
- Bacon, Lettuce, & Tomato Wrap
We wouldn’t dream of recommending them unless we had tried them all ourselves (it was no trouble, really), so we can guarantee your office will enjoy them just as much as ours does.
At some offices everyone pays for their own, but this can also be a fabulous employee perk. Contact us today and arrange to sample our fresh and delicious boxed lunch options. Then get your office on our weekly route and enjoy satisfying and nutritious lunches (we only require a minimum of five!) delivered to your building every single week. Smart you!

Real Barbeque
Let’s just start here: real barbeque is not a grill (although one is used) or an event (but we love to have ‘em); it’s the way summer tastes in the south: Slow-cooked ribs basted in sauce, pulled pork sandwiches drizzled with spicy goodness, and chicken grilled and flavored to perfection get our barbeque parties going, and they don’t stop there, not by a long shot. Not everyone at Calvert Café & Catering is from the South, but we live here now and we understand how to take care of a barbeque jones. We have put together the perfect cookout event for your office Memorial Day party. Book it today and leave the rest to us; we’ll take care of decorations, supplies, delivery, and setup. And we’ll even clean up for you afterwards! Well, you may have to launder that white shirt yourself…
The Tunes
Everyone who books an event will automatically be entered for a chance to win a NEW 4GB iPod Shuffle.
The Dancing
And in keeping with North Carolina barbeque beach tradition, you will qualify for FREE shagging lessons when you book a party for 50 or more people. Check out these guys (and these!) if you need inspiration, then turn up the tunes and get ready for summer fun.
The Barbeque Video
Oh, and if you need a primer on barbeque arguments nuances in the Southeast, you should check out North Carolina barbeque singers Rhett & Link and the Homestead Pickers.

We understand how compelling blackberries can be. And we’re not talking about email, either. Take a break from the machine and let Calvert Café & Catering bring you an array of fragrant and delectable blackberry desserts. From fresh tarts to blackberry-drizzled cheesecake to blackberry cobbler, we can create an elegant dessert buffet for an office event or for your own private gathering. And we won’t forget coffee, either: freshly roasted, ground, and brewed; then served with real half and half, organic cane sugar, and all the extras.
