Big Basin Cafe

Great food but super slow service

Food was OK. Confusing order process, they forgot to make our order, after 20 minutes we told them and they said they’d start now and it would be ready in 5 minutes. 10 minutes later still not ready. Asked again. 5 minutes later someone unceremoniously dumped two bags of food on our table and walked away. After everything nobody even offered to comp the meal or try to make things right. Won’t be going again.

This place is mobbed on the weekends, long wait to order, long wait for food, hard to find a table. Espresso drinks are OK, tap coffee is diner quality. Sandwiches are decent for the price.

Pie is really good though.

The coffee is good and the vegan fruit pie slices and turnovers are to die for. The breakfast rush is a pain, so I recommend avoiding it! In the evening the place is very laid back. I can't say it's a perfect place for vegetarians because it does occasionally stink of bacon, but I usually enjoy going there and I'll miss it when I move away...

Nice place. Elderly crowd in the morning. Coffee was good and I recommend the breakfast burrito. It was a bit hot but delicious. You need to bus your own dishes which I didn't mind.

I've been going here for years and have tried a bulk of the stuff on their menu. I have never been disappointed with the service or the food/drinks. The cafe is dog friendly! It's a small, quaint place and the employees are very sweet. Overall, I would greatly recommend swinging by here sometime.

Some things were great and other average. Their sandwiches are a pain to eat... Falling apart, and becoming soggy if eaten too slow. Their prices in general are absurd... Maybe they should have a locals price and a tourist price, where the tourist price is lower, haha. The cortado was perfect, and prices for their roasted coffee are good.

10/10 for ambiance, scone and cappuccino were ok.

Cute cafe run by lovely people! They have the best croissants, adorable sugar cookies, and amazingly foamy cappuccinos. The speedy wifi is a bonus too. One of my favorite cafes in the bay area!

So the place seemed cool at first look. Ordered a sandwich and the food was fine. The two big problems are the big free WiFi sign outside but when I told them the wifi wasn't working the girl just said ya that's normal... Like uh why do you advertise wifi then. I came here instead of Starbucks because it said it had WiFi. Had already ordered and paid though so stayed. Second issue was the only bathroom in the places door didn't shut all the way or lock.. just unacceptable. Will change review if they fix. False advertising really gets me annoyed though.
