10/10 !!! Just recently moved to downtown and stopped by this cute cafe ! And the burritos are AMAZING !! I've tried the chorizo and egg it was so good with their fresh salsa ! And I recently tried the bacon egg and cheese burrito 10/10

I have visited Basil & Cheese on two different occasions now. The first time I visited, I tried their Machaca Burrito. The shredded beef was juicy + tender, the tater tots - crispy, yet soft on the inside. The bell pepper, egg, & cheese rounds out what turns out to be a very good breakfast burrito. The salsa, while a bit mild for my taste, is very tasty. The second time I visited, I tried the ABC Bagel Sandwich on a jalapeno bagel. The bagel was light and easy to chew. The arugula & bacon nestled in between a nice ratio of cream cheese and avocado combined to make a nice bagel sandwich. The coffee available here is also very good! They have both single origin and mixed blends available to drink from. So far I have tried the Americano and Cold Brew, and both were great! There are a decent amount of seats in the cafe; the window spots provide a nice view of the city while you enjoy your food/coffee.

My fiancé and I ordered $55 worth of food and coffee with 20% tip up front. As soon as we sat down at a communal table (before we received our food) the owner said the table was reserved for a large group in 20 mins and we had to give it up. Terrible experience when you are a paying customer and immediately told you matter less than other customers. Especially before we received our food! This was our first and last time coming here. Food and coffee was decent but not worth being treated this way. We'll take our dollars elsewhere. I will note that the owner was very apologetic when we were leaving.

Cute inside, the toast I got was absolutely delicious and well as the matcha I purchased. Won't lie I wasnt really impressed with the yogurt so I'd probably pass on that next time. But if in the area again I'd definitely stop by.

Highly recommend the chorizo breakfast burrito. It’s packed with delicious ingredients - fluffy egg and cheese, crispy and airy tater tots, and flavorful chorizo. It’s a bit heavy but definitely worth trying.

I love the lavender matcha drink! And everyone is always nice and helpful. Only thing is I leave smelling like the food/grease from them cooking but the outdoor seating helps with that.

Yum. Macadamia nut milk matcha latte 10/10! Salmon avocado toast 10/10! Fast efficient service and great food / drinks.

Great staff, pet friendly, and good matcha, delish brekkie burritos and coffees. I feel the burritos could have a bit more egg in it but it's fine. Only thing is Basil & Cheese is named after the owners doggies. I'd love to see a photograph of the owners (Basil & Cheese) somewhere in the cafe at some point lol ^_^ lol

Yum. This was a great breakfast find. It reminded me of Flour and Tate in Boston. The food was delicious and the chai tea was the best. Definitely go there if you are in

Short commentaryOverall a good stop for breakfast.More complete commentaryThe food was excellent. I get a little pissed off when I can’t find salt and pepper or my own sweeteners to cater to my food the way I like. Reminders of that ignorance factor perpetuated in Starbucks post Covid Like there is value and not touching your own sweeteners That said the people were very polite clean kind. Just a little bit too much of that present generation separation of people from people that keeps showing up in these more modern venues. I’m also intrigued by places that push the tipping on you with their computer tablet process in places where you’re not really getting traditional tipping service. I believe my criticism is more of the company and its decisions in design than any of the people or food quality matters.Like I said, in the beginning - a pretty good stop for breakfast.

Food: avocado toast (9.2/10), Machaca burrito (9.3/10), Service: excellent (10/10), Ambiance: chill, Clean: 10/10 Both the burrito and avocado toast are delicious. You can't go wrong with either one. I think I can eat but just one of these had me stuffed.
