Alissa was amazing helping us plan the menu for our daughter's wedding shower. She took the time to get to know our vision for the shower and not only made recommendations but added some special requests by the bride. The food was so delicious and she displayed it beautifully. All of the guests raved about the food!

My family used Unconventional Kitchen last week for my Mom's 90th birthday party at Vincentian Assisted Living and they did a top notch job and stayed within our budget. We wanted appetizers and salads and Alissa worked with me to determine the best menu choices that would work well with our Mom's dietary needs while still satisfying our party guests. I was able to pick up the food from their catering space and everything we needed was there including the utensils, pans and chafers and fuel to keep the food warm. The food was delicious and our guests were commenting on what an interesting and tasty variety we had. I had also attended a fundraiser for Vincentian last year where Unconventional Kitchen had done the catering onsite and I had the same positive experience. Highly recommend Unconventional Kitchen for your catering needs.

I placed a custom order from Jen at The Unconventional Kitchen, and she did an AMAZING job! Not only was she helpful and accommodating to my request, but she also brought my vision to life! This is a great idea to bring to a wedding for the Pittsburgh cookie table, a graduation party, showers you name it! I couldn't recommend The Unconventional Kitchen enough!

This isn’t the first time I have placed a custom cookie order with Baker Jen and it certainly won’t be the last! The high quality of these cookies (in both design and taste) is absolutely out of this world! No matter what themed idea I throw her way, she is able to succeed in producing absolutely stunning cookies. There wasn’t even one crumb left by the end of the night. Shoutout to Jen and Alissa for making this an easy and memorable experience. You’re both “big dills” in my book and deserve to “relish” in this moment of success! Can’t wait to place my next order! 🤩

Alissa and Anna could not have been more wonderful in planning and executing my event. They were so organized and really thought of everything. The buffet table looked beautiful and the food items tasted great. The whole event ran so smoothly, with both women just taking the reins and making the afternoon so perfect. Thanks to Alissa and Anna, and the Unconventional Kitchen!!

Unconventional Kitchen catered the large lunch for my grandmother's funeral, and our experience with them was wonderful! The food kept people coming back up again and again and everyone raved about how delicious everything was. The service was great, and everything went smoothly. Many were asking for their contact info, and we were happy to pass it along. Highly recommend working with them for your next event, an amazing non-profit that gives to a great cause.
