Our whole team proudly delights in creating a festive environment with unique food selections that celebrate local and international holidays, seasonal and cultural traditions, and firm or team milestones.

Local Food

Michigan is a leading U.S. cultivator of fruits such as apples, blueberries, grapes, peaches, and tart cherries. The greater Traverse City area produces over 90,000 tons of cherries annually!

It’s no wonder that the delectable fruit pies that Café Services chefs create from scratch aren’t just popular as a workplace dessert; indeed, employees often order whole pies to take home and share... or not!

Michigan is also the second-most productive state for the essential agriculture crops of corn, soybeans, sugar beets, potatoes and wheat.

Café Services sources as many ingredients as possible from local farms and dairies. Our chefs collaborate with dietitians to create and authentically prepare flavorful food that continually raises the culinary bar.

Greater Detroit, Michigan boasts a variety of iconic foods. The cuisine we create in Café Services cafes throughout Michigan is influenced by the region’s rich history of immigrants sharing their creative cuisine.

Some popular ethnic foods around the Detroit area include:

• Sicilian inspired thick-crust Detroit-style pizza with a signature rectangular shape
• Chinese-American inspired almond boneless chicken
• Greek-Mediterranean inspired gyros, hummus and falafel
• Polish inspired pierogi (filled dumplings); borscht (sour soup), and paczki (filled doughnuts)
• Hungarian inspired kolbász (cured sausage) and other savory dishes
• Mexican-Latino inspired wet burritos (beef, pork, or bean & rice tortillas covered in sauce & cheese)

Olive burgers are a popular West Michigan regional comfort food that tops hamburgers with either sliced olives or a creamy condiment made of green olives, pimentos and mayonnaise.

Other popular condiments and local foods range from Zip sauce, typically served on steaks, to flavorful corned beef slathered with Russian dressing and tucked into a sandwich between lettuce and tomatoes.

Speaking of sandwiches, the Chipati sandwich was introduced in Ann Arbor by a Michigan restauranteur. A Chipati is a pita wrapped around a modest salad of lettuce, mushrooms, cheese and creamy dressing.

Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is home to the pasty, a handheld meat pie consisting of savory pastry filled with chicken, beef, venison, pork, hamburger, potato sausage or other spicy meat and baked.

Local Vendors

Throughout our corporate cafeterias across Michigan, Café Services is committed to featuring fresh, local, sustainably-sourced ingredients as often as we can in our menus and meals.

We value our relationships with local vendors, as they enable our team of chefs, grill cooks, deli attendants, and front-line professionals to offer outstanding food service quality, safety, value and selection to Michigan business diners.

Each corporate dining professional who serves in the kitchens, dining rooms, dish rooms and micro markets at Café Services business locations is proud to support business diners as local friends and neighbors.
