Basics Co-op Cafe

Only game in town. Staff knowledgeable on supplements.Great large parking lot next to mounds.

Good food at good prices, that's the Basics difference! (Cue Fairsley Foods music from the Mister Show skit)We ate some paninis here for a quick bite. They were made very well. Crunchy and filling, but not too crunchy. Both varieties (hummus, spinach artichoke) were basic, but delicious. The coffee that went with them hit the spot as well.Staff at the cafe (and throughout the co-op) were super friendly.I would return in a heartbeat, except that I'm roughly 58328 heartbeats away and then I'd probably be all out of breath and smell horrible from all the sweating. And that's just from me driving there, hey-o!

Great sandwiches! I also really enjoyed the coffee although I did get the last of it. Sometimes getting the end of the pot is the worst, but this tasted fresh and good. Very good flavor.They have a large selection of sandwiches, about half are veg, which is great for us! I will definitely be stopping in again!

Amazing service, great selection, spacious and pleasant atmosphere. We really enjoyed the panini and the smoothie!

Well I really like this. Lots of handmade foods and sandwich items also allowed to customize here. Really good panini with some added parts I like and available. Grocery healthy type store with a deli and coffee latte shop in back. All good here. Bourbon Peach ice cream is real good and I shared with another curios customer. She highly approved also.

Stopped by on a roadtrip, and we're so glad that we did because their chipotle chicken panini ($6.49) and coffee with ghee, caramel, and butterscotch ($4.75) exceeded our expectations. One of the best paninis I've ever had, such a smooth coffee, hit the spot, especially when paired with their freshly-baked snickerdoodle. Friendly service from the employees, samples throughout the store, great bacon selection. Would recommend.

Couldn't find it. It's inside a coop, off the main road and has no sign. There is NO other coffee shop on this stretch of strip malls on this exit from the freeway. What a wasted opportunity for them. With a different location or better signage they could clean up from the coffee-needy exiting the freeway.As it is we have to go to the next exit for a Starbucks!Get some marketing savvy!

Top notch service and products every time. Lucy's goal is for everyone to leave with a smile, and I know I always have! There are so many options to customize your coffee. Almond milk? They have it. Coconut milk too! Many sugar free syrup options, and fun names for specialty coffees. My favorite is the snapping turtle with chocolate, hazelnut, and caramel. Loon Lake also offers food choices to meet most dietary concerns/allergies - vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. Don't worry if you prefer your baked goods like Grandma makes them - full of gluten, butter, and all the good stuff, they have that too. My pumpkin crumble muffin yesterday was moist and delicious. I love the salads, quiche, and soups in the deli case too - from traditional chicken noodle soup and Mac-a-Loony salad to more interesting options like the African queen quinoa salad, there's usually something for every palate. Bottom line, if you haven't tried it, you should! It's worth getting out of your car for the short walk to the back of the Basics store!

The food to order for lunch (or may time) is wonderful! Tasty, fresh, and lots of options. I am so thankful they have vegan cheese as an option. I get massive canker sores from cow cheese, so this is a fun add on. Their smoothies are fresh and delicious! It's a favorite if we get through janesville starting on a trip, or if we have to be in that town for something!

Very clean and organized. Friendly staff. Prepared foods were delicious.. definitely a great place to go for organic whole food. I recommend this place and will definitely go again if I am ever in the area again.
