Great local spot! Very good coffee and bagels and the people are super nice!

It’s simple, laid back, and neighborhood friendly. Just like its name it’s BASIC & honestly I like the average vibes it offers.
The giant windows allow great natural light in, and the space is rustic mixed with a bookstore. It would be great if they would place outdoor tables to invite visitors in. Honestly sometimes I can’t tell whether they are open or not….
Additionally, I do wish they offered variety such as sandwiches and dinner items and catered for longer hours until 7:30 pm. It would be ideal considering there’s a rush in the area past 6 pm. I am very curious to see how they stay afloat now with the new bagel shop down the block.
The female cashier is nice as well as the chef. The owner doesn’t show much expression or emotion, and I respect him for keeping to himself. I just hope you can keep up with the changes in the neighborhood, I’m rooting for you Basic Cafe!
All in all, I recommend.

Really nice place for breakfast. Tasty bagels, good coffee and friendly staff. Listened to all my questions and inquiries. Would come again ☺️
A wonderful cafe very close to Hamilton Park. My family and I have enjoyed countless weekend meals here. We really enjoy the food, the coffee, and the friendly service. I encourage everyone to support this local business!

If you enter to order and sit 1h before closing they will look at you and comment about you loudly until you get uncomfortable and leave.
