Stopped in here for a quick iced coffee and happened to meet the owner, his sister and mother. They were all lovely and the iced coffee was good.

Great relaxing, quaint spot in Stillwater, MN that I would highly recommend checking out. Been here twice after walking around the Stillwater bridges loop.Tried their strawberries & Cream Waffle and it was Delicious!! Can't wait to try some of the other flavors of waffles they offer. They offer Boba bubble teas as well as lemonade with different flavored pearls in them. I've had a lemonade with mango pearls and one with strawberry pearls. Both very good and refreshing. Can't wait to try their ice cream next. Also, had a chance to talk to the owner Matt, and hear his story of moving from California to Minnesota and staring Matt's Basement. Thanks for taking the time to chat, it made the experience more personable.

Such a cute vibe! Itâs cozy and delicious boba tea! A fun place to gather with friends and hang out!
Nice place with good vibes. I wish I could have stayed longer and enjoyed the games, but alas we were only stopping for boba.

Absolutely loved to relax in this new lounge! The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy. The variety of games offered and events was encouraging as well. Plenty of comfortable seating. The restrooms were gender-inclusive. Would gladly go back again!
7/12/25 - This is an absolute gem, especially if youâre looking for a welcoming, relaxed space to recharge during a day of shopping. We stopped in for a quick break and ended up staying longer than expected simply because the vibes were so great. Itâs not a bar, but rather a cozy, inclusive hangout spot that feels like a mix between a local lounge, creative studio, and community hub. The owner was incredibly accommodating, greeting us warmly and making sure we felt right at home. You can tell this place was built with intention. Itâs inviting to everyone, no matter your age, interests, or background. Whether youâre there to relax, socialize, or just explore, Mattâs Basement makes space for it all. One of our favorite parts was the variety of media displayed throughout the space; everything from books and art to music and games. It made the environment feel dynamic and personal, like you were hanging out in a friendâs basement with way cooler taste. Itâs rare to find a spot like this; laid-back, creative, and genuinely kind-hearted. If youâre in Stillwater and need a break from the crowds or shops, do yourself a favor and stop in. Weâre already looking forward to visiting again!
