Ingallina’s Box Lunch

On February 4th, 1991 we began as The Metropolitan Lunch Express Café located directly beneath the 5th Avenue Theatre in Downtown Seattle.

From the very beginning, as it is today, our concentration has always been on deliciously fresh variety of foods, made from scratch yet quickly served and with great customer care and service.

In 1993 we separated our café from the box lunch and catering department. We set up our box lunch/catering kitchen just outside of downtown Seattle in the old Tropicana Hotel at Denny and Aurora. Ingallina’s Box Lunch, Inc had officially begun.

We began doing what we do. That is, taking care of our customers, providing each one with fresh and delicious lunches and great customer service. Soon we had to move to yet a larger facility

Finally, in July of 2000, Ingallina’s Box Lunch, Inc. opened at 135 S Lucile St, in Seattle. At 10,000 square feet the place seemed gigantic! We designed this production facility and built it specifically for our type of catering. It was designed with the intention of not only producing the best box lunches, party platters and gift baskets in the North West but with the intention of producing completely satisfied customers from Everett to Tacoma and all points between.
