Fresh Basil Cafe

We had spent a day at the beach in Holland. We looked online for a vegan meal and didn't find much that was still open. Fresh Basil Cafe was kind of close and they were open later than most places. We drove to Saugatuck, not knowing anything about the town, and absolutely loved it there. Very cool town, hopping place, with lots of restaurants and shops. Beautiful area.

The Vegan Wrap (basically a falafel wrap) was excellent. We eat a lot of falafel and this was pretty good stuff. The kids got a Chicken Ontario Panini, and Lobster Roll. The panini was, "amazing", and my other child enjoyed his lobster roll. The only thing I didn't care for was they had bottle water and no regular free option. Not a fan when places that do that.

It was really busy when we were there. We were able to snag a table and food was out in under 10 minutes despite it being packed.

We both got paninis and our friends go a pizza and a panini. The paninis were not over cooked so they were nice and crispy and they have a lot of varieties to pick from. We had the Havana Night and the Albacore. The pizza had pepperoni, onion, banana pepper with red sauce and cheese. It was overall a really nice experience. Expect to pay about $30 for two people and drinks.

It was one of the only places open on a Monday during lunch that had a good variety.

If you're looking for a quick bite, I would definitely suggest this place.

Tasty fresh food, huge menu, helpful and friendly staff!

Everything I’ve had here is fabulous!

TIP—> it’s so nice when restaurants work with your food limitations. The gyro meat was delicious!!

phenomenal salads and platters. so many options and very high quality ingredients. worth a stop when youre on the road. the pizza looked so good too

We stopped here for a lunch. It’s a smaller spot with lots of seating. Bigger menu so there’s a lot to choose from. We got a tuna wrap, tuna salad, and a gyro platter. I didn’t expect too much but the food was excellent. The portions were friendly and the food had amazing flavor. Next time we’re in town we’ll def be back. Thank you

A remarkable experience. Indoor seating could be more comfortable / inviting.... but it was a beautiful day, so sat outside. Service was fantastic; very accomodating. Guy at register very pleasant; boss lady maybe not so much. Huge menu for such a tiny place....everything super fresh and delicious! Will definitely be a "go to" place when in Saugatuck!

Really great food, a nice variety to choose from. Inside and outside seating, and reasonable prices! Their bacon royale is super tasty

Really friendly staff. They also speak German. Menu offers a great variety of food. Ate the Buddha bowl. Was delicious. Would recommend.

It was a good experience for me. I tried their ice cream, coffee and gyros. All was so delicious 😍 Owner was so kind and friendly. Feeling like u are in home 🏡

A great place to grab a wrap or sandwich! Inside was clean, staff was friendly and the food was good. They also have a variety of great vegan options as well.

Really great food for a really good price! Really enjoyed my Gyro wrap and my fiancee loved the lobster roll, completely worth the visit

This place deserves more credit in the area- the whole time I was in Saugatuck people crowded at the neighboring spot instead. All the shops on this block have the same walk-up order and similar menu items but I liked Fresh Basil the best. I believe I talked to the owner who was super friendly and asked about our vacation. It's fresh and a perfect spot for a light lunch or delicious sandwich.

Very nice outdoor and indoor seating, the food is excellent with an unbelievably wide selection. The staff are great.

I ordered the falafel wrap. It was so fresh and flavorful. Service is quick too. Highly recommend this place!

In a neighborhood full of options, it’s great to have a casual place to grab a quick salad or sandwich. The falafel wrap was great!

We walked into Fresh Basil Cafe about seven minutes prior to closing (9pm) but the staff (perhaps the owners?) were very friendly and told us it was no problem at all to order pizzas. We ordered the Margherita for the adults and Pepperoni for the kids. Pizzas were delicious but what really stood out was the friendly service. Other menu items (including a vegan wrap) looked good too and there is a really cute outdoor seating area. We plan to return!

Stopped in for lunch, got the guacamole dip, which was clearly fresh and delicious. Also had the Chicken Ontario Panini, and it was the best sandwich I have EVER had. It was warm and the taste was incredible. My mom got the Greek Layer Hummus and said it was very good. We both left stuffed and would love to return, I’d even make the hour drive to Saugatuck just for that panini! So delicious and the service was great too!!

Fresh vegetarian (made-to-order) cafe and takeaway.

I was happy the tofu was lightly sauteed rather than deep fried.

Super happy to find reasonably priced, quick takeaway vegetarian food (other tasty options avail as well).

In town for the weekend, our group of 6 stopped in for a quick bite. The owner was one of the nicest people I've met. She was constantly busy trying to do whatever she could to make our experience perfect; including helping the kitchen make the food when she could. In addition, she made sure to bring us all water first thing which was nice because of the high tempurature.

The staff was friendly. Food was delicious. The manu has a lot of options.
