Behind the Blue Door: We’ve kicked off our 2024 wedding season! Celebrating love and new beginnings is always special, and this year, we’re embracing the season with renewed energy and creativity.

Beauty in simplicity ✨

We use a lot of butter for a lot of different things, but for the table it’s got to be cultured sea salt.

FAMILY STYLE
We offer a few different service styles– we work with you to pick the one that suits you + your event best.

What’s our favorite?

It’s got to be Family Style. With each plate serving 3-4, guests are offered an easy opportunity to connect while dishes are passed around the table. We love the magic that happens when people come together over sharing good food.

Tomato season is so close we can almost taste it! 🍅

Fresh-picked tomatoes are always better, which is why in season we use only locally-grown gems from our valley’s farms to bring our summer dishes to the next level.

It’s time that The Window had its main character moment. 🪟🪟

It’s fresh, it’s fun, + it’s the same Window you know and love! Follow to see the newest menu items and additions to the Larder. It’s a total tease, but there’s some good stuff coming down the pipeline! 👀

Thank you to all of our loyal fans who have helped turn this little cafe window into something truly special. ♥️ We love you almost as much you love berliner Fridays ♥️

Crafting a menu is similar to poetry in motion, with different flavors coming together like verses on a page. During our recent Central Coast Dinner, we experienced this magic firsthand, where the Stirm Wine Company's portfolio served as our muse. Our distributor, Jacob Liverman from Mise Inc, had the vision to explore new wine expressions from the Stirm, with a focus on refinement and food-friendliness.

The interplay between Stirm and Chef Laura's use of California's bounty showcased the magic of a thoughtfully crafted menu. We truly celebrated the passion, elegance, and true essence of taste and terroir during this beautiful dining experience.

Starting an event with a grazing table is something we love at Blue Door. Creating one for Helen and Jon's wedding at Mass MoCA was particularly enjoyable. 🤍

Starting with a shared dining experience creates such a warm and inviting atmosphere-- fostering a sense of community amongst guests. Grazing tables often encourage guests to explore new tastes and textures, making your event a truly memorable experience.
