About The Basin Cafe
The Basin Cafe Reviews
This little gem deserves 5 stars. The food was some of the best we've had since travelling around the U.S. for the last 2 weeks. It's the start of the season so the front of house are backpackers and learning the ropes but are very friendly and accomadating. We have been here twice so far on our stay.
Avoid: I ordered a chicken burrito and got a beef burrito. The staff wanted to solve the problem to my benefit, but then the manager intervened and offered a 50% refund refusing to bring me what I actually ordered.
Again, one of those paltry places where it is always the customers‘ fault if something goes wrong…

The Basin Cafe is a charming American country restaurant that serves delicious food in a cozy and clean environment. The breakfast menu, including their highly recommended French toast, exceeds expectations. Guests can enjoy tasty lunch options such as the Philly Cheesesteak, Gobbler Sandwich, and Tostada Salad, along with the special Barbacoa Burritos, which have been praised as the most delicious burritos ever eaten. The portions are generous, and the staff is friendly and welcoming.
The cafe offers a beautiful and well-kept outdoor seating area, surrounded by big shade trees and plush green grass, where guests can relax and enjoy a great view. The homemade pumpkin pie and salted caramel brownies and cookies are truly delightful. The cafe even brews sun tea, adding to its charm. This small town treasure is perfect for those looking for a nice meal after a day of exploring local attractions.
