Genuine Goodness - Orinda

Genuine Goodness is genuinely a 5 PLUS stars catering business! Diane and Anna are truly delightful, making giving a party for 20 easy. Diane was creative in choosing side platters for the barbequed flank steak the we were making for the 20 people. The food was delivered not only on time but even a bit early, the different dishes were beautifully presented, and most importantly, the food was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend Genuine Goodness for your catering needs!!!!!!

This is a great spot in Orinda to grab a fresh salad or sandwich. Service is friendly.

My husband and I stopped in for sandwiches. Everything there is pre-made which they call Grab and Go. I had the Coronation Chicken and my husband had the Tarragon Chicken. They were delicious and the prices were reasonable. We also had a Southwestern Salad which was good but I thought it could use more corn and black beans. I understand that food costs are really high. They have a few tables to eat in. They also have Take and Bake dinners which I want to try. I think those have to be pre-ordered. We will be back even though it's a bit of a drive for us.

Have been back two more times for lunch. Pea soup and the Turkey Brie sandwich. Pea soup very salty and hard bits of peas. Sandwich was ok, a bit dry. Had broccoli cheese soup today. Again, very salty and we tossed. Had the Coronation Chicken sandwich and that was great. Perfect mild flavor of curry. Told they don't make scones now so that's a bummer. Also had a white chocolate/macadamia nut cookie today and that was delicious. Chewy with crunchy edges. Not sure we will be back given the overly salty soups.

Such good, high quality sandwiches! I mean amazing bread rolls and all other ingredients are amazing. I got the tarragon chicken salad sandwich and it was grab and go. I was wondering if it would taste good since they were pre-made, but this sandwich was so fresh! Better than if someone made it for me when I walked in. I do wish they had chips available for sale and maybe more options, but overall amazing quality and I'll be back when I'm in the area.
