Coterie Cafe + Kitchen 

5.0

Wilmington, DE

    Coterie Cafe + Kitchen is a community-driven cafe and catering company based in Wilmington, Delaware. We specialize in thoughtfully prepared, house-made offerings that highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients and globally inspired flavors. Whether you’re stopping by for a warm breakfast, a handcrafted lunch, or looking to cater a special event, our team brings creativity, care, and a personal touch to every dish we serve. Beyond our daily menu, we offer fully customized catering experiences for weddings, corporate events, and private gatherings — always tailored to meet the unique tastes and needs of our clients.

    We are so happy we used Coterie Cafe Kitchen for our wedding! Working with Caitlin, Soufiane, and Dmitrik was such a great experience. From they very beginning, they were friendly, attentive, and incredibly organized. They took the time to meet with us on numerous occasions (both at their restaurant and at our venue) to make sure there were no missed details. They worked closely with us very early on to develop creative and elevated cocktail hour and dinner menus that our guests raved about afterwards - if you're looking for suggestions, the cheesy arancini balls were the clear favorite during cocktail hour, and the chicken satay bites (pictured) were a close second! The team was very careful to suggest ingredients and dishes that would help us lower costs without sacrificing quality, portion sizes, or gourmet touches. On the day of the wedding, they were extremely well-prepared, and their waitstaff were experienced and professional individuals. Early on during dinner service, they encountered some problems that were absolutely no fault of their own, and they pivoted with such care and precision that we didn't even know there were issues! It's clear they were incredibly far-sighted, and had a plan ready for every possible scenario. Caitlin, Soufiane, and Dmitrik truly went above and beyond to ensure our day was extra special. We are so grateful to the Coterie Cafe Kitchen team for making our wedding day unforgettable.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Sherms has catered many events for my friends and family so they were my first call when considering a caterer for our wedding. The process was seamless from start to finish. I had no idea how valuable they would be outside of simply providing and serving a delicious meal. Sherm and team helped me decide on linens, consider timing of events, and helped with all the details down to the champagne toast. They seem to have great partnerships with many in the community so I asked them for recommendations for tents and other rentals and everything went smoothly. Having an experienced wedding caterer is a must on your big day. The food and desserts were excellent and the customer service was first class. Highly recommend Sherm’s for all your catering needs.
