Tahini Brownie was so delicious. It's 10/10. I loved it. They offer varity of goodies, will definitely try out more. Owner here was giving attention to each and every customer by asking product quality and having interactions. Overall good experience.

Everything that I ordered there was fantastic! I would recommend the podis that come in traditional and clever, delicious varieties. Vietnamese coffee, the tahini and walnut brownies were 10/10. And the chocolate cookies have a fudgy center and they will blow your mind. Also tried the pancake and dosa batter so fluffy and cooked beautifully with the batter rising and was incredibly fluffy and light. Cant wait to go back!!

I got a bunch of stuff from Basic B including tahini brownies, sea salt chocolate chip cookies, the umami bomb, podi, and pastas and I’m obsessed. Late last night I snacked ghee rice with podi like it was chips. Today I got dressed for work and then waited till lunch just to eat it properly with my hands. I didn’t even grow up with podi but this one feels like home. The cookies and brownies are unreal. The brownie is rich but somehow light and the cookies are perfect whether cold, warm or at room temperature. I’ve shared the sweets with friends but the podi and umami bomb… still debating. Thank you for the joy parcel

Stopped by Basic B Café in Aldona and had a coffee with a lemon cheesecake — both were really good. The café is small and very cute, and you can feel it’s run by people who really care about what they do. Staff is professional and cool, which adds to the vibe. A nice little spot I’d be happy to visit again.

Small quaint village cafe with interesting offers on their menu. My favorite is the tahini brownie. The coffee needs some improvement but the other stuff is pretty good. The Japanese cheesecake was divine. Also try the unami bomb prawn pickle. It's unique and distinctive and worth the cost.
