I'm not sure what has changed here, but we used to really love coming to Basecamp for a weekend breakfast or brunch. It's a place we loved to bring out of town guests as well. We always looked forward to the food, the chill atmosphere and the delicious coffee. But our last few visits have been very subpar and disappointing. We've received our eggs and bacon cold and the quality of food has definitely dipped. Maybe they're doing too much volume and can't keep the quality up. I have noticed they've got busier and busier. Today really was the most disappointing. It took my wife and I 45 minutes to receive our lunch. It was only a salad and a chicken wrap. Others who sat down way after us received their food before us. I used to be a server and floor manager at a restaurant- I know that something must've happened. Especially since one of the multiple kids that work there came up and asked us what we ordered. We asked the counter a few times what was taking so long and they replied "I'll check," and then proceed to keep working behind the counter and helping other guests. I would have only rated one star, but the food was tasty once we got it. I just think we probably won't be returning unfortunately. The price point isn't worth the unfortunate experience.

Not sure what changed but the healthiest breakfast option I had was okay. It was avocado toast but the biggest issue was the eggs. I had to order egg whites given some dietary changes I had to change. The egg whites were super runny and the general flavor of it was super bland. I know it's avocado toast but normally when you spend between 15-20 bucks you get a decent bang for your buck. I have had great meals here but something has changed with the cooking.Vegetarian options: They had some options including avocado toast.Dietary restrictions: Dairy free is a bit tougher but they have some limited options.

I give this 4.5 stars. Delicious food. I had the bacon cheeseburger. The fries were excellent. My wife had the teriyaki rice bowl. She didnt like it that much. Food was reasonably-priced. The food took a bit longer to get than expected. We loved the outside dining. Very little parking - we had to park on a residential street.

This is the way they served the food here. So unpresentable!! Called to complain girl named Rebecca said "well...at least it's eatable"To the owner!...She should be fired!

Went to get brunch on a Sunday morning. Plenty of neighborhood parking. Great food and coffee. Will be going back.

First time visiting this restaurant. I really wanted to like this place since the atmosphere is nice and the food presentation is good. There was a pretty long line to wait in to place the order at the counter before receiving a number to find a table to seat ourselves. The only table available wasn't wiped down, so we wiped it ourselves. Ordered two smoothies, salmon bagel, acai bowl, and a burger patty for the dog. Picked up the smoothies at the counter ourselves. The smoothies were okay. The food took half an hour to arrive. When it did arrive, I noticed the smallest amount of cream cheese- enough for half the bagel and asked for more. I then noticed the browning on the salmon. I brought it to the wait staff's attention and she offered to bring more. She brought more and said the chef said it was normal. I have never been served browning salmon before. The additional salmon was browned, too. I cut out the brown bits and ate it, since I was hungry. Stomach issues followed. The browning of the salmon is apparent in both photos. The brown in the middle.of the spiral is not a shadow.

Fun and unique experience at Basecamp. Hearing about how people used to actually ride in on their horses and eat there while their horses got fed also was really cool as it made for a rural oasis in an otherwise fairly suburban location. The food was ready quickly- I ordered online since the lineups to order in person also quickly got long. We ate outdoors and by far the star of the meal for me was the garlic parmesan fries which are not for the faint of heart or smell :) But I got them to share and they were gobbled up by the group as soon as I put them down on the table. I also ate up every bite of my cobb salad - the dressing was light but flavourful and served on the side so I could adjust my salad to dressing ratio to my preference... I will definitely return to this place!

Food is really good but the service has really gone down the drain the past few months. I called in an order and was hung up on and then treated rudely when I came to pickup. Everything takes much longer to receive than it used to. I understand being busy but there didn't seem like much urgency from the staff either.

This place is great place to grab some breakfast lunch or dinner. It's got a very nice outdoor seating area. The space is unique and set up like a camping Commissary. The food is decent not great. The coffee I didn't like, but the latte was pretty darn good. Parking is pretty easy most of the time out front

Great atmosphere and the food was alright but not terrible. It is a big serving though so you won't leave hungry. My partner and I came here for brunch and beer. We got a beer flight and waited about 10 min for it to be poured. Food came out fast - we ordered an omelette and the french toast plate. There's hot food and baked goods and coffee. You order at the counter and seat yourself and can serve yourself water or fruit-infused water. There is minimal indoor seating and some people were working on their laptops. There was a lot of outdoor seating though and some people brought their dogs. Nice vibe and we will return.
