Corporate breakfasts and coffee breaks are short moments — usually 20 to 30 minutes — where simplicity matters more than sophistication. Unlike a standing cocktail reception, the goal isn't to feed people but to accompany a moment of conversation, often standing, between two meetings.
Individual formats that are easy to grab without cutlery work best in this context: cookies, mini pastries or tartlets are perfectly suited to a break where guests pass quickly by a buffet before heading back to a meeting room. Desserts served in a pot with a spoon, like tiramisu or chocolate mousse, are better saved for longer breaks where people can actually sit down.
On quantities, a corporate coffee break is calculated differently from an event cocktail: plan for 1 to 2 sweet pieces per person for a 20-30 minute break, versus several pieces for a genuine standing cocktail reception. There's no need to over-order — the priority is availability and freshness, not abundance.
Variety still matters despite the short format: offering 2 to 3 different options (a classic like the cookie, a lighter option like a fruit tartlet, a festive option for bigger occasions) satisfies varied tastes without complicating the order.
For companies running regular breaks — weekly seminars, management committees, internal training sessions — a recurring order unlocks our tiered volume pricing on the total ordered, while keeping the flexibility to vary products from one week to the next.
Whether for a one-off event or a weekly coffee break, our individual dessert catalogue is built for this kind of order — browse the catalogue online or request a quote for a recurring service.
