kiva cafe

I first learned about "kivas" as an architectural student in Arizona. Kivas were ceremonial spaces, carved and built into the ground, by the Anasazi people. They were conceptually similar to the piazzas of Italy, and the plazas of Mexico where I had lived, studied, and worked- yet they offered something uniquely intimate. The name “kiva” and it’s purpose stayed with me.

After several years of corporate work in NYC, I yearned for a change and in 2002, I founded kiva cafe. I designed kiva cafe to be an urban oasis, away from hectic city life, and a comfortable place for nourishing food, inspiring art, and human connection. A place to slow down and savor what we eat, touch, see, hear, and smell.

kiva cafe catering is an extension of these foundational values. For over two decades we have served New York City’s top architectural and design firms. Our simple, high quality, delicious foods are a delight for the senses. Every bite is carefully sourced, freshly prepared and ready to savor.

We welcome you to the kiva cafe catering experience and look forward to delivering our delicious foods to your next business meeting!
