Why Houston Events Choose Brown Bag Deli 

Individually Packaged, Ready to Hand Out 

We assemble each bagged lunch for one person and pack it individually. Making it a perfect option for catering lunches where food needs to be transported, an easy way to separate different dietary restrictions, and ensure there is enough food for your party.  

Vegetarian, Vegan & Gluten-Friendly Catering

At Brown Bag Deli we understand the importance of accommodating dietary restrictions. Because every sandwich in a catering order is built individually, we handle this without a separate menu. We offer a variety of options for your vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests.   

We Can Service Reoccuring Requests
