What People Are Saying
from Google"Discovering this place was an awesome experience both for myself and my family! I have a newly found gluten intolerance that appeared back in May, and navigating this sudden change has been rather difficult. Discovering Basics Co-Op and having the opportunity to try such a wide variety gluten-friendly options has been a bit of a game changer. I have tried several of their gluten-free paninis, and I really enjoy their Chipotle chicken sandwich. Some of the other things I have really enjoyed there are the Oatmeal raisin cookies, Hawaiian smoothies, and pressed coconut bars! (I like adding some lingonberry jam to my coconut bars!) Overall, this place is a fun experience, and I have actively been taking more friends and family with me each time I go!"
"Everyone I've met and talked to that works here is a genuinely kind and helpful person. The food and coffee is great. Love the vegan and gluten free options of their menu and grab and go's. Their selection of organic and natural foods and products is great. The store has a bit of everything, from local artisans to leading green label organic manufacturers. Prices are a bit higher than other local grocers carrying the same or similar products, however if you buy a co-op membership, the discounts from that pay for themselves and levels the playing field. The vibe of the store is kinda like that of coming home for the first time and not realizing how much you've missed it."
"There is a selection of light prepared food such as sandwiches and coffee drinks to eat in the cafe area. I appreciated the vegan options on the menu."
"Great Coop store with just about everything you need from a grocery store. They even have a organic wine section with my favorite Stellar Organics Cabernet Sauvignon..."
"Was on a cross country road trip and needed to find a gluten free fast food option. While technically not a restaurant, Basic’s came up as the closest option near Hwy 90. The store as a whole is clean and welcoming. The cafe staff was super helpful and the food was so satisfying. Highly recommend!"
