San Francisco Dessert Catering

A Dessert San Francisco Guests Photograph, Share, and Remember

Olivia's Tanghulu brings hand-glazed fresh fruit to San Francisco offices, weddings, and celebrations — strawberries, grapes, mandarin, and blueberries, each finished in a thin crystal glaze with the perfect crunch and made fresh the same day. From a team meeting in SoMa to a rooftop reception, we design the program around your event.

Made Fresh the Same Morning, About 30 Minutes From Most of the City

Every skewer is made fresh the same morning at our kitchen in Millbrae, about 30 minutes from most of San Francisco. We build production around your event time.

Three Ways to Bring Tanghulu to Your San Francisco Event

Delivery Catering

Fresh skewers delivered to your office or venue, ready for the dessert display — no setup or staff needed. An order minimum applies, and a delivery fee may apply depending on location.

Staffed Tanghulu Service

Our team arrives early, sets up a polished, branded station, and serves your guests through the event. Built for all-hands, offsites, and receptions.

Live Tanghulu Experience

The showpiece. We hand-glaze fresh fruit on-site in real time — guests watch the glaze set, hear the crunch, and receive a skewer made just for them. Built for product launches, VIP dinners, and weddings.

Where We Cater in San Francisco

  • SoMa, the Financial District, and Mission Bay — office celebrations, all-hands, client events, and launches
  • Waterfront and rooftop venues — weddings, receptions, and evening events
  • Homes and private venues citywide — milestone birthdays, showers, and family celebrations

We also serve the Peninsula, South Bay, and East Bay — see all catering options.

Built for Every Kind of San Francisco Event

“The planning, communication, and execution was all timely and seamless. I would recommend Olivia's Tanghulu for any events you may have.” — Shannan F., Corporate Offsite, San Francisco

One Dessert for a Mixed Guest List

Our everyday skewers are vegan and made without dairy, gluten, or nuts, so one dessert works for most of the room. (Seasonal specials like milk skin tanghulu contain dairy, and we flag those clearly.)

How It Works

  1. Tell us about your event — guest count, date, venue, and the look you're going for.
  2. We recommend a format — delivery, staffed, or live — and send a custom quote within 24 hours.
  3. We handle the rest — fresh production the day of, on-time arrival, clean setup, and polished service.
Good to know: We ask for about 5 business days' notice on smaller delivery orders and a week for larger ones. Staffed service books at least a week out; the Live Tanghulu Experience needs two weeks or more. San Francisco dates fill early around Lunar New Year and the November–December holiday season.

Pricing

San Francisco catering is quoted as a complete package based on guest count, service format, date, and venue — no surprises. Tell us what you're planning and we'll send a tailored recommendation within 24 hours.

Made fresh the same morning, with production built around your event time. Most of San Francisco is about 30 minutes from our kitchen.
