This place is bookstore/coffeehouse/restaurant/bar in the cute little town of Roslyn. I wandered in around 4:30pm. I checked out the bookstore part first. They have a cool selection of books, and a lot of gift type things like tea, stuffed animals, bookmarks, art supplies, etc. I noticed the dinner menu and decided a cheeseburger sounded good. I ordered the Basecamp cheeseburger with bacon and a side salad. You can apparently order food upstairs and then sit upstairs or downstairs (or outside, I think). They have table service as well, after 4pm. Service was very friendly and patient. I decided to eat downstairs, and there was a cozy bar and large seating area. My burger soon arrived and it was delicious! A great toasted bun and a wonderfully substantial and beefy patty. The cheese was rich and gooey. Great, yummy combination of flavors. The salad was good too, with a nice ranch dressing on the side. A cool place that made me feel welcome and served up a great burger. read more

Went to this coffee shop 2 days in a row. It's such a cute bookstore!!! And you can grab coffee and food. I didn't get to try their food but their coffee were really good! I got lavender latte and asked for not too sweet, they were able to make it a hint of lavender and the coffee smells so good. They paired perfectly together!!! I got a book from them and the whole place just smells like book store and coffee shop. Literally perfect!!! I am so grateful that one of the staff recommended me some places for photos!! She mentioned some of the art wall and cute spot behind the shop. I would definitely go back if I am in the area again. read more

We just loved everything about this coffee shop, bookstore, games, cards, speakeasy and more! The staff is friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Comfortable atmosphere at restaurant in lower level. Tasty food, we had a selection of apps for happy hour. Service was a bit slow, they seem to be a bit understaffed. But we weren't in a hurry. You shouldn't be in Roslyn. read more

Bomb! Inside is so cute with lots of adorable gifts, books and knickknacks for purchase. Good music playing, good vibes all around. Got the Caesar salad, add chicken, all was delicious. Really want to go for an actual meal sometime, the downstairs is kinda speakeasy bar style with more extensive menu. Staff is great, service was pretty quick for how busy they were and overall have done an awesome job working with the unique space! Will be back and definitely recommend to others. read more

Such a treasure of a spot! Wonderful outdoor area and delicious food. So thankful they have some tasty vegan options!

Quick service for coffee. Had some bakery items available when I arrived around noon. Was crowded inside the bookstore and gift shop. They are able to pack a lot into the space. They have local books, and Roslyn branded items to purchase. I purchased a very soft Tshirt with their branding. They have few tables and chairs if you want to order a meal. You may have to park a block or more away as there isn't a designated parking lot. Would recommend to stop when you are in the area. read more

Excellent food and service! We had a Cubano, burger, and salad. I was very happy with the elk sausage add-on option. The food arrived quickly and was presented beautifully. I can confirm my salad was delicious. The downstairs lounge/bar area was spacious, comfortable, and stylish. I'd love to come back to try their NA cocktails. We browsed the bookstore after lunch. It's well curated with good recommendations and special finds. A great stop if you're making a trip to the Cascades. read more

Went here for a morning coffee and ended up really liking it! The inside is super cute and part bookstore / trinkets/ and coffee shop and I think they have more seated eating area too but I didn't check that out. The staff was nice and friendly. I got the breakfast sandwhich to go and I ended up really liking it! read more

The food was delicious and the service was great. We have been into the bookstore before but this was our first time downstairs in the restaurant. They do not have French fries or your usual restaurant foods so just heads up. But the food they did have was delicious. read more

This is your little basecamp:, books, coffee, and gifts.. oh yeah food and beer also. If you are visiting Roslyn this could be the little tourist trap that you don't miss. While you were here, get a coffee (daytime) or food/drink (afternoon), buy a book, read about nature, get a trail map for the surrounding area, and just honestly take it all in. My wife loves the baked products here.. always getting a cookie, or some other lovely treat. What makes the world better are places like this, which scream out, come hang out, and be part of the family. Next door is the fictional home of Northern Exposure's Dr Joel Fleischman office, which is now "Cicely's Gift Shop". The entire city feels like it should be a rugged town, in Alaska.. oh wait, it's just a short drive from Washington. So Basecamp, totally worth the stop as you meander around the wonderful gem of a town. read more

Lawdddddddd!! Amazing bookstore, delish coffee and a GREAT little breakfast burrito!!!!!! Highly recommend!!!! read more

What a beautiful place! Oh yeah, the coffee and food are really good too. There's a nice sitting area upstairs by the front windows as well as a restaurant and bar area downstairs. Also, they host Saturday night movies in their adjoining yard in the summer. This is a really nice addition to the Roslyn downtown. I'll be back! read more

What an absolute little gem of a shop! Great selection in the bookstore, coffees were delightful. We loved it so much we came back for an early dinner in the little bistro downstairs - grilled cheese and soup hit the spot on a blustery October evening. 10/10, no notes, will dine again! read more

Nice ambiance, friendly staff but the baked good are dry and taste weird (bad).. we got the banana bread, chocolate chip cookie and ordered the snickers doodles but the guy at the cashier gave us molasses cookie instead. We didn't notice until we left. Book store is nice and food looked good. If you don't mind unloved hands preparing your food. The BANANA BREAD was the worst I have ever eaten..not.sure how.a person can dry out a mini loaf of banana bread so bad but it was the driest. And least flavorful. And it had a chemical taste maybe soda or powder, don't know but it was inedible. The chocolate chip cookie was bland and also very dry. And I just didn't care for the flavor of the molasses cookie. read more

Such an amazing surprise!!! We ended up here because not many choices tonight. WOW!!! Such an amazing surprise!!! Fantastic food and service!!!! A must if you come to Roslyn!!!! Yay read more

Came in for a coffee and found a charming bookstore where you can also order some food. There is an outdoor seating area where you can also order food and drinks. There is a "Speakeasy" downstairs where you can sit comfortably and have your food and drinks. The latte I ordered was delicious. This was definitely a popular spot as the line was quite long, but they were able to help everyone very quickly. Super friendly service and a nice atmosphere. read more

Starved after a long week of camping we stopped here on the off chance a bookstore would have something substantial enough to satisfy our massive hunger. Wow, this place did not disappoint and served up two double hamburgers we couldn't stop raving about between bites. Also picked up some cute games during our brief wait. Thank you! read more

Hip! You're not supposed to do this on Yelp: post old photos. But we occasioned the place recently, I didn't take any pictures, and then realized I wanted to write a review of the serene atmosphere and what I recently discovered here. So you know how hard it is to find several years old photos using the Yelp app? Hard. (The kid is my son and the non-pink woman looking at books is Terri.) We recently found ourselves there. My dad, wife, son, and I, looking at books. I can't say what kinds of books they had back when the photo was taken, but the pictures are a testament to the peaceful repose possible at any successful bookstore really (with a backdrop of steaming espresso sounds). What I discovered was that they now sell, along with the old standards of snowshoe routes and tree identification (just making those up) and games (or at least they had many three years ago), was the wide selection (for such a small store) of fantasy, a genre I have been diving into lately. I was delighted! I won't go into an escapist versus (perhaps) social commentary rant here. Read what you want for whatever reason! I first noticed the V. E. Schwab title, one in the series I started but am not sure I will continue. Then I saw some titles I wanted to try but didn't buy because I have so many unread books right now. (Getting ready for winter?). I saw they have Tolkien and Frank Herbert, classics of the genre. On the opposite end of the spectrum was The Fourth Wing, an enjoyable enough YA with lots of sex from a young woman's perspective. Weird for me in that regard but if you like dragon riding and narrowly avoiding death in a school for gifted athletic/magic types, could be titillating. Anyway, I didn't memorize all the titles, but the next time I'm in Roslyn I'll be buying a book, unless it's five years down the road fantasy as a hip genre has been replaced. Then maybe I'll do that new thing! read more

Great coffee drinks and a good book selection as well. Haven't had dinner for awhile but looking forward to that

Smells amazing when you walk in the door. We enjoyed our craft cocktails that were beautifully garnished full of berry flavor and a creamy and delicious appetizer of Spinach and Artichoke dip that came with Pita. I opted for Pork Potato Skins and split the Kale Caesar with my friend. Both were mouthwatering and full of flavor. Very fresh and a perfect combo. We took Dessert to go. Marshmallow chocolate cake and the Pumpkin Trifle. read more

First off, I hate being charged for something without being asked. This place tacked on a fee/tax for forest conservation or something like that? I am still not sure exactly what the fee was because when I asked the gal working, she couldnt really explain it. To be clear, I am not a douche and do believe in saving our earth but ask before you assume I want to donate and add it to my bill as if it is a necessity to buying something there. There was no yes or no option, it was just added to my bill and I happened to notice it. Anyhoo..... this is a cute little bookstore (and cafe). We came in for a few books to read on our vacation and ended up with some classics. They have a good selection for such a little bookstore. They also had some other nice gift items such as fannypacks, shirts, etc. read more

Best cocktails in town! I love the Speakeasy space downstairs for its cozy feel. This is one of the only places we go for a burger - the best! read more

Great spot whether you're just in town looking for a casual bite and hang or if you're going to or coming from a big adventure. Their food is good and prices reasonable. Staff is always eager to help you find your activity or day hike. read more

I am so happy I stumbled across this place. I was in search for breakfast and click on Basecamp, scanned the menu and was in route. I pulled up and instantly enjoyed it! My partner and I have always loved the feeling of outfitters and coffee shops and this place combines the two with the addition of books! The food was great. It was in single portions so we didn't have to ask for any to go and didn't need to overstuff ourselves. I got a chai latte which was creamy and just what I needed on this winter morning. To top everything off, I bought not one but two books that have been on my wishlist for awhile. And so happy to support a small bookstore. read more

I just had the port carnitas bowl and it was probably one of the worst lunches I have ever had. The noodles were dry and sticking together, three slices of cucumber and a couple shavings of a carrot. The minimal amount of meat was just okay. The flavor was bland. It was definitely not worth the $18. read more

We ordered hamburgers that were served to us with the patty insides red raw meat. Then when finally returned the patties had chili flakes or something hot in them that made my stomach burn:( We dined with other family who had finished their meals and had to wait on us. The burgers come with no condiments... you have to go find them and THEN ask the waitress to bring mayo. It was the worst burger. The cook sent out two cookies to try and fix things. I do not recommend !!! read more

Basecamp Books & Bites is more than just a coffee shop where you can get a good espresso drink. They also offer wonderful food, books, hiking info and snacks, trail maps and more. The friendly staff even packed a lunch for me for my fly fishing guided float on the Yakima River later that day. They did this while I enjoyed a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs, elk sausage and potatoes. I highly recommend this place on your next visit to Roslyn. read more

Skye and the team are amazing. Great coffee and breakfast food. Wonderful atmosphere. Go here if you are in the area. Best coffee in town!

Great service, awesome outdoor seating, decent food. Ended up at this place for lunch after a good hike with the ladies while the men went mountain biking. Chose this place because of their outdoor seating. Huge outdoor, they had a trailer called Basecamp Outfitters where you place your order, then they give you a number to place at your table. They have these cool outdoor gas fire pits. Food took a bit long but it was right in the middle of lunch....lots of people in town. Smoked Salmon toast $9 -- thick sliced multi-grain, Smoked salmon, lemon dill cream cheese -- this was on a lighter side yet still delicious! Salmon was tasty and the dill cream cheese was a nice complement to the salmon. Roslyn Cheesesteak $16.25 - Steak, Grilled Peppers & Onions, Sautéed mushrooms, 3 cheese sauce, Stadium Roll comes with your choice of chips or cup of soup -- steak needed more seasoning, the cheese had an odd consistency (not bad tasting though). All in all it was a bland dish -- hopefully this was a one off. Chicken Cilantro Quinoa Wrap $15 -- chicken, quinoa, kale, edamame, green chickpea, grape tomatoes, spring mix, lime & cilantro jalapeño cream sauce wrapped in tortilla (vegetarian option $13.50) comes with your choice of bag of chips or cup of soup -- this was way tastier than the Roslyn Cheesesteak. The lime & jalapeño (not hot at all) cream sauce was delicious! Sorry no pics of the food. We were famish! read more

So I liked this store and it's really cute but over the years the food has gone downhill. After a long bicycle ride from lake kachess we wanted some sandwich. They didn't have a turkey option so I opted for one of their bowls. The chips were so stale that my boyfriend wouldn't even eat it. That's saying a lot. The rice was hard and not edible. And the beans were meh... I had a tummy ache on my ride too... Unfortunately, I stopped looking forward to coming here... service is good but that is not going to get me to come back. read more

I agree with the other 3-star reviews. I tried some coffees, but they turned out to be pretty average. The store is cute, but very crowded and there were a lot of families with kids, which also wasn't what I pictured before walking in. read more

Great speak easy downstairs. Must visit. Don't let the bookstore fool you. I wish they stayed open later and had louder music, but that would give it 6 stars. read more
