How we pick these caterers

This list is alphabetical, not ranked, and no caterer paid to be on it. We look for Tampa restaurants and catering companies that publish a real catering menu, handle drop-off or delivery for groups, and come up again and again when local offices talk about who they order from.

Pricing, minimums, lead times and delivery areas come from each caterer's own website and were last checked in October 2026. Of the 13 listed, 2 publish pricing and 2 state a lead time. If a detail is missing, the caterer doesn't publish it. Confirm before you order. Spot something wrong or missing? Email us.

Office catering in Tampa: what to expect

Tampa's office demand has been drifting west. Westshore vacancy fell to 14.9% in the third quarter of 2026, and that one submarket signed 31.5% of all Tampa Bay office leasing this year. Downtown went the other way, with vacancy up to 15.4% and a small net loss of occupied space. The I-75 Corridor added 65,000 square feet. Across the region vacancy is 18.1%, the lowest since late 2021. A lot of the listed caterers sit close to that west side demand. Catering By The Family is on W Cypress St, OLIVIA is on W Swann Ave, La Teresita is on W Columbus Dr, and Byblos Cafe delivers across South Tampa. Latam Catering on E 7th Ave and Good Food on N Florida Ave cover the east and north.

Only two of these caterers put real prices on their own site. Latam Catering charges $12 for a cold sandwich box, $14 for a hot one and $12 for bowls, with hot entrees at $9 per person and sides at $3, on a 10 person minimum. Byblos Cafe has an $18.95 per person package and 12 person trays from $49 to $125, needs 24 hours of notice, and takes orders online. CBK Catering & Events says corporate lunches usually need a few weeks. OLIVIA takes catering orders through ezCater. Catering By The Family posts its corporate breakfast and lunch menus as images, so you still have to call. Everyone else, including CBK, Good Food, La Teresita, Mise en Place, 3 C's and Perfect Thyme, works from an inquiry form, and Blue Sea and Mi Havana take orders by phone.

A few Tampa specifics before you order. Hillsborough County sales tax is 7.5%, and Florida taxes a delivery fee charged with the food unless it is listed separately and you could have skipped it by picking up. Service charges and setup fees count as part of the taxable price too. Latam adds $20 for delivery beyond 5 miles, and Byblos needs $150 for delivery and doesn't include plates or cutlery. Good Food, Mise en Place and Perfect Thyme are built around full-service events, not quick drop-off lunches. The Tampa Convention Center expects about 326,000 attendees across 101 plus events in 2026, so book earlier during big weeks. Wicked Oak Barbeque's website blocked our check, so call them directly.
