Basic Food & Beverage

Spicy kimchi ramen soup .. Yes please. Giving neighboring ahris a run for their money.. Bf says the best burger is good. Vegan friendly with many salad options. The coffee is just OK.

The Sundubu (silken tofu ) soup is delicious, particularly on a cold day. I'm not a vegetarian and am not the biggest fan of tofu but this soup hits the mark.

Nice, but sadly, the coffee is undrinkable. Bitter, and no coffee flavor . We poured it out on the grass, and went to the ice cream store for coffee . Please get a new brew!

This is our go-to place for lunch ! Friendly staff and I like the spicy chicken wrap , and iced coffee . Cash only , ATM on site with fee.

Sandwiches are pretty tasty. A little skimpy on the corned beef for the Rueben .. But they make up for it, with the "side". Cash only ! (old school flo)

This is THE meeting place for Hamilton Park / Downtown JC. Good veggie options , free wifi and always friendly people.

Cash only !

I support local businesses! Awesome lil' place where I study & ponder. Recommended items: Garden Burger/Avacado Salad .

Nice spot sandwiches coffee bagels smoothies salads .. The crazy salad is yummy as is the basic burger .. Wish they would change the menu a little as it's been the same a while.

Apparently the only place in jersey city to get a real fruit smoothie . Very good too. Cash only .

Basically this place is an all around decent place to have some better than average coffee . The pastries are ok. But what is really good is the Moe's Egg sandwich . Ask them to add bacon .

The weekends are stroller central. The place is too small for that many strollers. Needs to be a rule that one person from a group goes up to order and then move back out of line to wait for your food

The unsweetened peach black tea is delish and is a better bang for your buck than any starbucks, dunkin donuts or Gloria Jeans .

If you have a cold, their hot ginger tea is wonderful and very soothing. Fresh ginger with a touch of honey .

Love the soba noodle salad and fresh smoothies .

really unique muffin flavors, cappuccino is my fav. not a lot of seating so be prepared to take your food to go.

The pastries are very good.

Great little neighborhood cafe with free WiFi !

But don't drink their coffee . Best in JC? Not even 10th best. Mike lives near there and roasts for Kobricks brand in Hoboken. Try that and be happier.

The chocolate chip cookies are pretty amazing - more chip than cookie !

Good coffee . By 1030 the pecan roll is stale do not get that.

Nice low key place for juices

Love this crazy salad

If you like flavored coffee , they have a flavor of the day every day. I especially like Butterscotch Sunday.

Best salad crazy salad . Lil bit of everything . Best to order in spring - early fall. Outside of that quality hit or miss.

You have to try the Bul-Go-Gi sandwich . It is great!!!

...Ham & Cheese Croissant and Ice Coffee for the epic win.

Avoid if you like decent food and service. A decade of decline for both. TJ Ward coffee is mud but they say best coffee in JC.

Mango tuna sandwich is a must have, trust me

Bulgogi aandwich

Great bagel and lox

Vegetarians : the garden burger is good.

So happy when I find a coffee shop with almond milk ! Thank you basic

The Garden Burger is tasty.

Iced ginger tea .... Buy it

Potpie is delish. Mac and cheese , kind of weak.

Love the Moe's Egg , of course

Get the mango smoothie

Try the bibimbap . Delicious.

Breakfast Burrito!

Close to Hamilton Park !

Cash only !

Just a good little place in da hood.

Go to Basic and get the smoked salmon on a bagel .

must try Tuna sandwich .

Say hi to the mayor
