The other face to Southport Grocery

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Not feeling up to making everything yourself but still want something heavenly for your holiday party?

Simply bring in your favorite platter – or use one of our disposable decorative platters – and choose your fare. You don’t have to do any of the work; simply take the wrap off and relish the party.

We have a flourishing catering menu with some of your steadfast favorites like our Hummus – with crackers & crudites (6.50/serving). Go with something ‘catering-only’ like the green olive, goat cheese, and walnuts on crostini (24/dozen) or pear wedges & arugula wrapped prosciutto (28/dozen) – so many choices even that picky aunt will be happy. Check out our entire catering menu.

Have something in mind? Ask, we do custom menus! Only 48 hours notice is required – sometimes more for those larger parties.

Get a taste of handmade without all that work – from Southport Grocery and Cafe’s catering.

Ladies & Gentlemen… Start Your Ovens!

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

The race is on over the weekend to finish any last minute shopping, gift wrapping and baking. Just remember, when it comes to baking, Southport Grocery & Cafe
is the ultimate Pit Stop.

For the seasoned veteran, we have everything you need to bake from scratch. Example: We don’t merely carry vanilla, we have Vanilla Powder, Clear Vanilla and Vanilla Extract. Speaking of extracts, we’ve also got
Orange, Lemon, Almond & Coffee Extracts. Food Coloring? How about every color of the rainbow? Varietals of chocolate range from semi-sweet to bittersweet.

If you want to bake, but the clock is against you. We can give you an assist. Try one of the Jacques Torres mixes: Mudslide or French Kiss Cookies, Pure Bliss Brownies ($14.00). The Barefoot Contessa has: Chocolate Chunk, Pecan Shortbread
and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk ($11.50). For decandence we steer you to The King’s Cupboard line: White Chocolate Hazelnut Cake Mix ($12.50) and Triple Chocolate layer Cake ($8.25).

If you simply don’t bake or you’d like to augment the cookies you baked yourself Southport Grocery & Cafe still carries a limited amount of our signature, homemade cookie assortments. 1 lb. box ($16.50), 1/2 lb. cylinder ($8.50)

And we don’t condone passing our cookies off as your own…That would be cheating!
