Whether you're planning a big party or just want a box lunch to take along on your afternoon bike ride, Froehlich's can handle it. Choose from a variety of menus, or meet with Colleen and invent your own. Our staff will arrive ready to serve you. We'll even bring the china if you wish! Stop in for lunch...make us a lunchtime destination. Our daily selection of fresh homemade sandwiches, soups and salads offers a healthful alternative for the midday meal.
