It all began in 1989 when friends and family convinced our Head Chef Lily that she had a wonderful talent with food that deserved to be shared.  Lily still truly enjoys creating new and exciting, yet comforting, dishes to satisfy even the most discriminating palates; learning and creating are the greatest joys in her life.

Since opening its doors, The Bread Basket has satisfied customer after customer with Lily’s personal cooking. Each dish is presented with the utmost care to appeal to both your eyes and your taste buds.  Our food and our high standard of service are the reasons why our business has lasted so many years.  We value each and every customer and hope to develop lifelong relationships.

We look forward to catering your event, whether a business luncheon or a life celebration, and are confident that we will be your new favorite caterer for many years to come.
