Breakfast meeting catering list for 14 people

Who this list is for

This catering list is for anyone organizing a breakfast meeting for fourteen people in an office or conference room. If you need a light morning spread with minimal mess and no hot cooking, this list is designed for you. It suits team leads, office managers, or anyone tasked with setting up a professional, efficient breakfast.

How to use this list

Begin by reviewing what your office already stocks. Arrange for eighteen assorted bagels, three tubs of cream cheese, and twenty butter packets. Add eighteen mini muffins, fourteen bananas, and fourteen apples for variety. Include three pounds of fruit salad for a fresh option. For drinks, plan on sixteen ounces of ground coffee and eight ounces of decaf, plus one gallon of hot water for tea. Stock twenty tea bags, one quart of half-and-half, a carton of oat milk, and a gallon of orange juice. Check off what you already have before ordering or shopping.

What to skip

Skip hot items that need on-site cooking or warming, like eggs or breakfast meats. Avoid sticky pastries or anything that crumbles excessively, which can make cleanup harder. Don’t rely on a single type of milk—some guests may need non-dairy options. Avoid large fruit with peels or pits that require extra work to eat.

What is on this list

This list covers bagels, cream cheese, butter, mini muffins, bananas, apples, and fruit salad for food. Beverages include regular and decaf coffee, hot water, tea bags, half-and-half, oat milk, and orange juice. Review the list and cross off any items your office already has, such as coffee supplies or serving utensils.

Day-of setup

Set up the food on a central table with plates, napkins, and utensils. Arrange bagels and muffins for easy access. Place fruit and fruit salad in separate bowls. Set up the coffee and tea station with cups, stirrers, and creamers. Chill the orange juice before serving. Make sure trash and recycling bins are nearby for quick cleanup after the meeting.
