Johanna and her team catered my Navy retirement ceremony in Corolla. All the coordination was done via phone/email as we live in PA. Every aspect of the experience was top notch! Lynda was always prompt to respond and answered all my questions. The day of the event was amazing. The food and service were exceptional! We got so many compliments from our friends. The staff Johanna brought were very friendly and professional. I can't recommend Johanna and her team enough! -

We booked Johanna's Catering in conjunction with the Roanoke Bungalow and the food was amazing. The passed appetizers were a perfect starter and the main courses were delicious. The Seared Salmon, Teriyaki Glazed Beef Short Ribs and the Chicken Marsala were excellent. Great portions and everyone loved it. -

I hired Johanna after our first caterer was giving me the run-around. I had NO IDEA how easy and effortless the process could be. Her whole team showed up, professional and confident and then they didn't need any direction from me (the bride).
The food was RAVED about (even our vegan attendee said it was amazing and appreciated having elevated, unique alternatives). We had attendees from over 900 miles away attendees and I was determined to provide them with the best meal they would have while in the OBX. Thank you Johanna and team for making that possible!
Everything was amazing, down to the desserts. We chose to use their hummingbird cake as our wedding cake (honestly I had decision fatigue and the $50 for the cake was unbeatable). And it was well worth it! We later found out it was vegan and gluten free which was the "icing on the cake" (pun intended).
A few weeks later, and I'm still thinking about that crab stuffed flounder...
I think the cafe is currently closed to focus on catering, but I hope it opens back up so if we come down for our anniversary every year, we can have it! -

We had to wait an agonizing 7 months between our (complimentary!) tasting and getting to eat Cafe Lachine's food again. We have already had several guests ask if there is a corresponding restaurant so they can go back and eat more of this delicious food (The taco and dessert bars are highly recommended). Cafe Lachine was incredibly professional and quick on the day-of and in all of the moments up to it. Whenever we were uncertain about something, our questions were answered with kindness. When we realized we didn't want what we had previously thought at our tasting, Johanna had a different sample ready to go. Our catering experience was so stress-free and was incredibly reasonable. -

Johanna is an absolutely amazing and talented Chef! Café Lachine has an extensive and mouth-watering menu, ranging from perfectly done and delicious “standards” to tasty and creative specialty dishes. The diner was five-star fabulous in taste and presentation. Johanna and the staff at the reception were friendly, accommodating, and hospitable to all our guests, family and friends. We didn’t want a traditional decorative cake, so we chose a few different desserts which were all delicious but the single layer, simple but sophisticated chocolate cake that Johanna made per our request was simply AMAZING! We can undoubtedly say that the Johanna and the Café Lachine team was nothing short of perfection. There is no caterer that could have done such an amazing and memorable reception. We cannot thank Johanna and Café Lachine for making our wedding reception one we will never forget! -

If you are looking for delicious food specifically catered to you and not picked directly from one set menu, look no further. Cafe Lachine hosted both our wedding rehearsal and reception. For the rehearsal we decided on something fun - - who doesn't love tacos?! They were a huge hit. At the last minute, we made a special request for churros. OMG, can we all say, "delicious" together?! The churros were divine with an apple filling and a yummy caramel sauce. People are still talking about them. For our wedding, we had an array of food and everything came out perfect. As the bride, it's hard to actually taste everything. With that said, our guests especially loved the fig salad the array of appetizers and the variety of options they had to choose from. We had gluten free options and mini desserts that made you come back for more - - isn't that the point, since they are mini's? Johanna and the Cafe Lachine team are phenomenal and an overall joy to work with. If we had it to do over again, we would choose Cafe Lachine again and again. Thank you for an absolutely spectacular array of food, for your professional delivery and for your consistent desire to deliver with a smile! Can't wait to visit when we are next in the Outer Banks! -

We hired Cafe Lachine to cater my son and daughter-in-law's wedding. Best decision we made. From the moment we started working with Johanna and Kelly, until they finished up after the wedding, we could not have asked for a better experience. The wide variety of food was terrific, and the servers and bartenders were outstanding. We will use them again for our next big event! -

Love love love Johanna and her team at Cafe Lachine! The staff was professional and great at the wedding and the food delivered. They even created an off the menu passed appetizer for me and it turned out delicious. Highly recommend! -

My husband and I held our destination wedding in the Outer Banks, NC. Planning a destination wedding is challenging, so working with vendors who were responsive, caring, and accommodating was imperative. Cafe Lachine stood out immediately among the many catering options in the Outer Banks because of qualities - and we hadn’t even tried their food yet! Through and through, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. They never made me felt bad about asking too many questions and proactively put any concerns I had to rest before they even had a chance to form! We loved working with them so much that we also decided to have them cater a taco bar for our rehearsal dinner and a post-wedding BBQ - our guests raves! They went above and beyond, working with me to create custom desert tarts for my wedding day and even dressing in 1920s attire to lend to the decor! Cafe Lachine also bartended my wedding! Being from Boston, It was so important to make sure that not only were there no lines at the bars but that their staff helped my guests enjoy themselves - and did they ever. Cafe Lachine is a class act with endless capabilities, both creatively and culinarily. Thank you for making our wedding week unforgettable. -
User2631158 Sent on 06/02/2016Everyone at LaChine was awesome! They started out doing the cupcakes for the reception, then catering the rehearsal dinner which was wonderful! The seafood pasta and filet were amazing!! Then they stepped in and catered the wedding reception with their BBQ which was also delicious. We did tastings at several other more well known caterers and LaChine out did them all!! They were also very reasonably priced compared to the other places we looked at. -
User2631176 Sent on 06/02/2016There are not enough words to explain how incredible Cafe Lachine is! They catered our rehearsal dinner, our cupcakes, and at the last minute did our entire wedding menu. Tess York is such a wonderful person to work with. We were lucky to be able to have them do our entire weekend. Their food is delicious, from the seafood pasta to pulled pork, and the staff is great to work with. Our guests are still raving too!
