The sandwiches were absolutely delicious. Great combinations! The only thing was I did not realize the sandwiches were a bit smaller so I should have ordered 2 per person. But that was my fault. Everyone in the office enjoyed them anyway.

I ordered last time and it seemed like the way you prepare your orders has changed from individual baguettes to larger, share style. It was really awkward for a meeting with the chief members of the organization.

I love the sandwiches this place offers, however, the delivery situation really put a sour taste in my mouth. When I tried to explain the issue to my contact at the place, she just tried to put the blame on everything else besides the fact that her delivery guy should have just CALL OR TEXTED me! I made the mistake of giving the wrong address (an error that should have taken five minutes to correct), however, because the delivery person did not call or text me, he waited at the wrong address until 15 minutes after the delivery time until I contacted THEM. Not a big deal, really. THE BIG DEAL, which the place refused to accept responsibility for (the people at the front desk MUST have told him to do this?!?!?) the delivery guy left our HUGE order in a common area for who knows HOW long?!?! (up to 20 minutes) Did not contact me to let me know it was delivered. Random people took sandwiches from our order because it's normal for people to leave food in the common area for people to help themselves. Despite how much I love the food at this place (this was the second time we ordered for our huge yearly meeting) I am really not sure if I'll order from them again. No accountability or apology for how that played out. Just an "I'm sorry" or "have some sandwiches on us next time" would have gone a long way.

I ordered the American picnic package for a group of friends that were taking a 4 hour bus ride from Manhattan. The best part of this package is how easy it is for everyone to grab their own bag and eat at their leisure. Each bag comes with two different types of sandwiches clearly labeled so everyone in my group ended up swapping with one another to get the sandwiches they wanted. They were a big hit and everyone kept telling me how thankful they were I bought them!

Easy to order, did it day before which I really appreciated they can do. Delivery was perfect. Everyone at my party ooh'ed and ahhh'ed over the perfectly wrapped and labelled mini sandwiches in a cute box with styled napkins and the cute bags of chips and bottled water that I was glad I could order, one less thing for me to buy for my party. Loved the decadent choices for sandwiches. Only downside was bread was a little tough but I would order again. It was a hit.

While the baguettinis were presented in a really beautiful way, each individually wrapped and labeled, I was surprised at how small each one was. Considering that there are two sandwiches per order I was worried that it wouldn't be enough for for everyone, about 25 people. Although we fortunately had a few leftovers I don't think it's a great value, since it works out to $5 for each tiny sandwich. Also, though they tasted fine, my biggest problem with the food itself was that the baguette crusts were not crispy as they should be, but instead rather rubbery. Someone actually said that it didn't matter that they only provided 2 sandwiches per person, since your jaw gets so tired from trying to chew them you couldn't even eat another if you wanted to. Other people were saying that eating these sandwiches was like a "workout". In summary, I would have given at least a 4 star rating if there were 3 sandwiches per person and the crust was improved.

Fabulous service. Prompt and polite. Presentation was nice, all the sandwiches were labeled and looking delicious. The selection was amazing, and my whole office was raving about the great flavor combos, and quality of ingredients. It was a very large order, and I was impressed that they nailed it all. The only knock would be that the bread itself was a little tough/chewy - some people liked that, others not as much, but overall it so good it didn't stop people from going back for more. It was an awesome change of pace, and someone we'll most likely order from again. The salads were also very fresh and tasty! ALSO, we were on a strict budget, and Wendy was really great about making the order fit into what we needed. Couldn't have been a better ordering experience. Thanks Perfect Picnic and thanks CaterCow!

The good: The caterer is very nice, the presentation of the sandwiches is super cute, and the food itself was very tasty and of obvious good quality and freshness. They also accommodated a last-minute request for more sandwiches very graciously. The less-good: Parts of our order were left at the facility (no salad dressing for the salads, missing homemade desserts, missing extras discussed such as flowers.) Also, the delivery person was unfortunately stuck on the subway and was late, causing embarrassing nearly 30 minute delay in feeding our visiting out-of-town clients on a very tightly scheduled meeting day with an early departure. Perfect Picnic were very nice about rushing out to buy some of the missing dessert items. Also - they did follow up promptly with a gift certificate and a sincere apology, which was not only very good form, but also made my day and gave me something nice to look forward to :) If you do decide engage with this vendor, make sure you arrange to have them arrive 15-30 minutes advance of the time when you will need to eat, so that they have time to arrive, set up and take a solid inventory.

Excellent choice for a "different" sandwich! Beautiful presentation and excellent quality. Care and creativity were obvious. If your budget allows, order a few extra. My "to go" boxes for employees were left empty. Not one sandwich or leaf of lettuce was left. The quantity of food was correct, our employees appetites were sorely misjudged with Baguettini in a Box! Thanks for a lunch that everyone enjoyed.

This was a really fun office lunch to kick off the Memorial Day weekend. The presentation of the baguettinis/chips/caramel/water in the totes were so well-received. I LOVE that each tote and each baguettini were individually labeled (nicely too) which made distribution so much easier. The 2 baguettinis per tote were a little small. Based on the other reviews that mentioned that, I also ordered a box of extra baguettinis as well as a self-serve green salad and pasta salad for everyone to pick from. It was a big hit and really fun as we set up picnic blankets around the office for everyone to have their "picnic". I definitely would recommend!

Wendy was awesome to work with - she whipped up a custom order after some discussion, and we got a delicious lunch last Friday. The sandwiches are on the small side, the ordering allows for 2/person which was good for our employees. We also ordered 2 kinds of salad. Wendy also brought us some sea salt caramels to finish our lunch with a sweet note - will definitely be ordering again.

Working with Wendy on my first order on CaterCow was a pleasure. She was responsive to all my questions on quantity, delivery, etc. The presentation of the American Picnic was OUTSTANDING! All sandwiches were labeled inside and out (SUPER HELPFUL), the bags were very cute and such a hit at my meeting. The way the food was wrapped up in the white/red towel was just adorable.

Great! Excellent service (quick responses, friendly, on-time delivery) and nice, useful presentation (the tote bag, the mini tablecloth, the serving sizes). The only issue we had was that one of the sandwiches we ordered (the duck) was unavailable on the day of delivery and we had been looking forward to that one in particular.
