Fresh Connections Catering

Chicken slathered in what seemed like Elmer’s glue, butter, and mustard mixture scrapped from who knows where, with white rice that had tiny green bean and corn pieces from last night’s scraps mixed in. Would rather eat shriveled gas station hot dog on stale bun. Showed up 2 hours late too.

I use Fresh Connections for catering in my office and I love them! I don’t think we’ve had anything that wasn’t delicious, but some of the office favorites include the chicken cordon bleu and the meatloaf. Maria is a joy to work with and has helped me out a time or two with some last minute catering needs. The staff at Fresh Connections are dependable, punctual, and always willing to help out. I have recommended them to other offices, to co-​workers who’ve asked me about caterers for personal events, and I will also recommend them to you!

Fresh connections did a catering sample for my office. We were able to try tons of things off of their menu for free! The food was amazing! I recommend the chicken cordon bleu. We are leftovers for 3 days because they brought so much. We have now made them our #1 caterer for office meetings.

Fresh Connections catered a work event today. This place is aptly named! The sandwiches all looked delicious, with nice green lettuce and varieties of bread. It was a difficult choice, but I went with the roast beef and I was not disappointed. Very high praises to the pasta salad as well, with it’s fresh & crunchy red and green peppers, and cilantro for just the right zing.

Fresh Connections always goes above and beyond when they cater for my office meetings and conferences. KUDOs to Maria and her staff. They are on time when they deliver the food, they are friendly and professional. The food always looks and taste delicious! The Mixed Grill is OUTSTANDING!!! The Chocolate Fruit Cups are SENSATIONAL (the cup is chocolate and you can eat it)!!! Everyone in my company loves their food. Fresh Connections Catering is by far the best caterers in the area.

I first was introduced to this place when they had brought samples to various offices in my building in Falls Church. The entire office fell in love with the pastries that they brought. I have since moved on to another office and I still use them even though they are in Herndon and I work in Old Town Alexandria.
The food is always good. It’s fresh and very tasty. All the pastries are made from scratch. I have never been disappointed by any event that I have had catered. They are always on time with the deliveries and very friendly. I would recommend them to anyone. (Hint: If you can get the chocolate croissant you will not be disappointed.)

Great place for breakfast but they only cater now and have stuff available at their bakery!

My wife and I took my parents to French Connections for a late breakfast on a Saturday and it was a good experience. The décor was clean and simple. The service was attentive and quick. We had the egg strata $ 8.50, french toast $ 7.99 and egg and bacon croissant $ 6.50 which were all delicious. We also got a toast basket $ 4.00 which featured an assortment of bread. The french toast used brioche toast and could have used more egg and milk. The egg strata was like a breakfast lasagna and very yummy. The croissant sandwich was tasty but the croissant itself could have been fluffier.
It is tucked away in a office park-​like setting next to a Bank of America so it is not easily seen from Herndon Pkwy. I would recommend it to anyone searching for a nice uncrowded breakfast place. They also serve lunch and dinner but no breakfast/​brunch on Sundays.

I went here with a friend of mine on her suggestion based on recommendations from her co-​workers. It was fine. I had the French Toast and she had the waffles.
From the outside, this place leaves a lot to be desired, but they did a good job trying to decorate it into a more welcoming restaurant. The food was good, and the service was great. We let our waiter know we would be there for a while and he didn’t rush us at all. Even when he dropped off the check, he kept coming back to refill our water… two hours later.
Overall, this place is pretty good and I would definitely go back. I worry about it, though, since there weren’t many people there on a Saturday morning. For quite a while, my friend and I were the only ones in the restaurant.

We’ve used French Connections twice now as a caterer for breakfast functions at my company. The food is always fabulous, especially the kolache. My co-​workers raved about it. The only reason they didn’t get five stars is that I’ve seen slightly more impressive presentations from a few other caterers in the DC area (Not that there was anything wrong with what they did — it was adequate and appropriate to the meeting) and the pricing was a little higher than I would have liked.
We will definitely be using them again.
