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 my first time at the Fresh Basil Cafe.
I was pleasantly surprised.
I asked the young man who was taking my order what his favorite was and he was right, the Canadian Chicken Panini was delicious! Good portion size, Great flavor and reasonably priced.
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.
