3/9/25 the vegan bestie sandwich is always good, but wow... today is was amazing. Everyone is awesome here. Also live off of their hot coffee with oat milk, vanilla, and salted caramel. Tammy is the sweetest! Our daughter always looks for her when we are shopping. The pumpkin scones are delicious. The cooler area sometimes has an eggless tofu salad , and vegan potato salad, both are good. I wish they would add a vegan sandwich to the cooler for a quick grab and go, they have vegetarian ones though. We also like the bestie vegan panini from the cafe, and our daughter loves their smoothies. They also have a plant swap, and a kids play area so us mama's can grab a coffee & pastry from the cafe & let the littles play

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!

I love this place. My only problem was we never heard our name called when the smoothie was done. My child had to go ask about it. The smoothie had been put in the fridge when we didn't answer. We were sitting at the checkout. It's noisy there, SPEAK UP.

Loved everything about the cafe food wise and the tables. Also loved they had a little nook for kiddos to play. The only negative thing I would say is that they need to mop there floors🤢 I put new clothes/socks on my 13 month old daughter and they were completely BLACK along with her hands from her crawling/walking on the floor and she smelled musty(like the floor hasn't been cleaned in god knows how long) so that is really nasty. I would definitely come again but maybe don't have your kiddos wear nice clothes?😵‍💫

This is a wonderful place. Great selection and their cafe is top notch. I’m doing a juice fast, so I’m really thankful and impressed that they don’t cut their healthy juice options with apple juice like so many other places do. Thanks Basics!

Ordered panini and classic smoothies a couple times via EatStreet. The food and drinks have been delicious without fail. Ingredients seem fresh and well-prepped, and it feels like the chefs care about how things taste. I don't like sandwiches much in general (too bready), but I can't stop eating the ones made here. This has by far the best sandwiches and smoothies in town, and I've been to several along Milton Avenue.

Went in there while on business. I had coffee, mushroom barley soup and a cookie. Everything was delicious and the staff was super pleasant. I got some bulk granola (of course) for the way home. What a great place!

At first I thought, am I in the right place? But yes, inside the basics Natural Foods cooperative is a small Gem of a coffee bar. Staff is very friendly and they have a game where you can roll dice for a free coffee, which was sweet.

We were looking for a vegan restaurant while passing through Janesville and found Lucy's on the web. It's a little difficult to find as it's tucked inside a health food store (Basic's Co-Op). But Lucy was super helpful and very friendly. She offered samples of the soups, and helped direct the vegan in our group to the vegan options available among the vegetarian and "normal" options.

I decided to go to Starbucks in Janesville for my morning cup a Joe. The Starbucks in Target didn't open until 8:00 am. I was then directed to Lucy's .Oh My Goodness, what a friendly place!!! I met so many nice people there, & it is the official stopping point whenever I will be in the area.

Amazing food! We were on a 14 hour road trip and stopped for breakfast but bought lunch too because everything looked so good. Excellent service, $2 smoothie (you would pay $7 for in Nashville). Vegan, gluten free, healthy choices were everywhere. I would live in this town just to belong to this co-op!
