OUR SATISFIED CUSTOMERS

"Sharon and Judy are a pleasure to work with. They are receptive , imaginative, reliable and reasonably priced. For our museum events we have consistently gotten fresh and creative hors d'oeuvres and desserts—from maple walnut bars to mango shrimp wonton cups—and a bill that fits our non-profit budget. Their astronomy cookies in planet shapes, some with glitter, some with silver frosting, and their Rocket Fire Roasted Vegetables and Galactic Curried Chicken, for our Planetarium Opening, were a great hit. I always get a prompt and friendly response in all of our communications. Thank you Market Café!"
Virginia Platt, Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium

"Thank you, Sharon and Judy! Your food was beyond delicious, with fresh and local flavors and an attention to preparation that gave us the sense that you were cooking one plate at a time. Our wedding guests raved about the food for days!  Thank you for making our wedding feast wonderfully memorable."
Jenny Bruell, Burke Mountain Academy

"Market Cafe's catering always brings rave reviews from our stars and crew alike! They are flexible, accommodating, and wonderful to work with on events that are often stressful with changing needs at the last minute. Their use of local ingredients and creative flair fit right in with our mission."
Tim Mikovitz, Kingdom County Productions

We enjoyed all parts of working with you. Meeting you at the Farmer's Market and seeing all the fresh, local produce you use, coming into your beautiful home to sample some of the options—it was so hard to decide because everything was delicious. You were willing to work with us to change the menu a few different times to accommodate various needs. You accommodated several food allergies. Everyone raved about the food and every time someone talks about the wedding, the food was the highlight. Everyone said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. If we need a caterer for any camp event in the future, you'll be our go-to duo :) —friendly, open, flexible, caring—amazing local food!
Rob and Becky Wipfler, Kingswood Camp for Boys

ABOUT MARKET CAFÉ AND CATERING

Sharon Eustace has been in the restaurant business since age 14. She started at the bottom bussing tables and worked her way throughout the restaurant business. Following four years at the Pub Outback, she traveled and then returned to Vermont to work under Head Chef Kirsten Lohr at the Inn at Mountain View Creamery. It was at this point that Sharon really learned how to cook for large parties and elaborate weddings. All of this has prepared her to put her front-of-the-house talents, paired with her passion for cooking, to work at the Market Café where she prepares wraps and salads to order for many hungry customers.

Judy Brown worked for a local bank for a number of years. She then decided to follow her passion for food and moved to North Carolina to attend Culinary Arts School where she graduated with Honors. Her first year of internship was spent at Highlands Country Club where she learned how to put on large and elaborate weddings. She then took a winter job for an upscale restaurant in Beaver Creek, Colorado before being lured back to The Highlands to supervise a separate restaurant and become a sous chef. After four years, she returned to Vermont to be with her family and start Market Café with Sharon.
