It's still a great place the only problem is it's not open as much as it used to

Stopped in to get some beignets to go. They came out fresh and warm and were delicious. It's a nice big space in a historic building.

First time here. Very casual and relaxed atmosphere. Ordered and omelette and everything was fresh and delicious and then tried one of their blueberry pancakes with the lemon sauce which was outstanding! Definitely need to give it a try if you’ve not been there before.

Probably The only local business I won’t support again had to bust our own tables the owners were rude food was over cooked and watched The lady behind the counter add a scoop of ice cream to a already half eaten ice cream cone right above the rest of the ice cream felt bad when I had to tell the kids I couldn’t have ice cream after that

Would not recommend and will not return. Service was nonexistent. I could not get a refill of coffee, salt/pepper and there are signs telling you how you can save them money by bussing you own table and not wasting paper towels. Meanwhile we could see 6 people in the kitchen and only 4 tables in the dining area. The food was mediocre at best.

We were lookimg for a place to eat while driving through here and someone recommended eating here. I got the quesadilla and my husband got the gyro omlet and it was the best quesadilla I ever had. My husband loved the omlet. Will definitely come back again. I'm picky when it comes to restaurants and I recommend eating here.

First the good: The food here is outstanding, I had a gyro omelette and it was probably the best I've ever had. The coffee came with real, fresh cream, not the little containers of half-and-half that sit warm on the table. The coffee itself was strong and tasty, just as I like it. The wheat toast appeared home-made and was done perfectly. Now the bad: I sat at the table for 5 minutes before I realized that you need to order at the counter. I went up to the counter to get a menu and was directed to the front of the restaurant where they had them on a rack. There I saw a sign stating that all meals were cash-only, and an ATM was available at the counter. I only had a debit card so I went to the ATM to get cash, and the ATM charged me two bucks to get my money. This annoyed me. Returning to my table with cash and menu, I decided what to order and returned to the counter, placed my order and paid. My coffee was brought to me in a reasonable time, and the meal arrived in about 10 minutes. The young man also brought me a fork, just a fork. When I realized that I had no knife I had to get up yet again to ask for one at the counter, whereupon I was directed to the soda machine where I found a knife. I returned to the table, and now in possession of my food and equipped with utensils I ate my meal, which as I have already mentioned was excellent. I get that merchants are charged a fee when customers use credit and debit cards, but I suggest that this is a cost of doing business. Roll the cost into the price of the food if you have to. Same goes for the wait staff, when I visit a restaurant I want to be greeted at my table and given a menu and coffee. The meal I had greatly offset the negatives I have mentioned. I will definitely return to this restaurant, and now that I know the rules I'm sure things will go more smoothly. My suggestion to the owners is to hire a wait staff and accept debit/credit cards, and raise prices if necessary to cover the cost. Personally I'd pay an extra buck or two to be able to order at the table and pay with my debit card.

Food was amazing. unique and tasty grilled cheese options. Soups were great too. Basecamp is a real gem.

Madeline B

Very rude service at front counter. Harsh and unclear communication about wait time and payment. Waited in line and eventually left.

Great selection, prices and service. We will be back. Actually worth a drive from Madison just for the dining.Bruce & Pati

Picked up a Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza Friday night and it was divine! Made from scratch crust, the kind whew you can tell it’s homemade! Wonderful crunch, plenty of toppings! Definitely will order again soon
