But I do sometimes forget that they are also a cafe and the perfect spot, if you can find a table, to take out your laptop and get some work! I stopped in while in Princeton for work and not only needed wifi but needed sustenance. I got the Far East Salad, one of my recent faves, and an iced matcha latte and took a seat on their little wall of stairs. -Wifi was strong -Matcha latte was refreshing and delicious -Far East salad was soooo good! I love the crunch broccoli, the flavorful tofu, the dressing. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend. The team is friendly and fast and brings the food right over to you. I have always been a huge Alfalfa fan so I can safely say you will love them.

Food and service are outstanding. The selection is fantastic as well. My only reason for giving 4…read morestars rather than 5 is because of the pricing. Basil Bandwagon is overpriced for their deli and many of the items they carry. At the same time it is very good quality stuff, just pricing is my only "complaint" so to say. I realize this is a very wealthy area, and Basil Bandwagon does put out some coupons here and there which is appreciated. It is certainly more of A $$$ store than $$ in which I think they would still be profitable, yet a bit more fair. In any circumstance if you're looking for good quality, very healthy stuff it is a great spot to try out. Also the portions on most things at the deli counter are very nice with their sandwiches. Staff is also very helpful & knowledgeable.

On my most recent visit to my hometown of Flemington, I took a trip to Basil Bandwagon to grab…read moresomething healthy (and vegan) for our long flight home back to the West coast. I learned that Basil Bandwagon has been open for 25 years. The year they opened, I was eating cold Pop Tarts while running to catch the school bus at 6:55am. In those days, fat-free was all the rage and considered "healthy" -- never mind all the refined carbs, loads of sugar, and preservatives. These days, I'm a strict vegetarian who is mostly vegan. I cook a lot and eat fresh produce daily. I appreciate that BB offers a healthy alternative to basically all the crap fast food otherwise available in the area. We ordered a wrap from the cafe and decided to eat it there. The seating was a counter with a few bar stools but it was clean if not spacious. My husband and I shared the "Freebird" wrap -- tofu-based mock chicken, sprouts, lettuce, tomato, and vegan mayo. It came with potato chips. Wow, this was so good! Clean tasting, hearty, and delicious. I was so impressed with it that we grabbed a prepackaged wrap from the cold case to take on the plane with us. We also picked up a few other vegan sandwiches which were okay tasting but overall too dense and heavy. Next time, I'll stick with the housemade items. I do find it a little annoying that BB doesn't seem to carry as many vegan items as they do things that are "paleo" and gluten-free. I also find that some of their food items are so outrageously overpriced that you'd be better off hunting around at the local grocery stores instead of purchasing them here. The next time I'm in town, I'll be there to order another yummy item from the cafe. Thanks Basil Bandwagon for catering to us "healthy" folks looking for something tasty and satisfying to fill our bellies.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I realized there was a new owner. We were tired and hungry so decided to stay. We were the only ones there and asked if we could eat in. A gentleman walked over to the register and replied of course. If you guessed he was the new owner, you'd be correct. He ended up serving us, and because I've somehow grown up to be that person who talks to the people, I asked a lot of questions. I'm sorry o don't remember his name, but he was very genuine and gracious. He's been redoing the restaurant gradually himself, while also cooking and doing all the other tasks necessary to run a new restaurant. Onto the food. We ordered a lot of it and it was all delicious. Fresh, seasoned well, and exactly as described in the menu. We started with some dips served with fresh pita and the dolmades. I then had the chicken gyro while my partner enjoyed the chicken shawarma platter. We opted for the Greek fries and the Greek potatoes as our sides. Suffice it to say we were eating of each other's plates. The flavors were bright and tasty. The potatoes were really out of this world. I really enjoyed my gyro, but the chicken shawarma seasoning was spectacular! The restaurant itself is also very welcoming with art by local artists on the wall, and for sale. We hadn't saved room for dessert, but the owner explained each one to us when I asked about the differences. Bottom line is that we will definitely be back again!

The restaurant is tucked behind a Walgreen's and proximate to an urgent care on a side street off Rt 31, so that might explain it. We arrived for dinner on a random Thursday. The dining room is large, clean, bright, and had a lot of empty tables, but few patrons. They have a take-out business and it was sort of rainy outside, so that explained it in my head. The server came right away and took our beverage orders (it's a BYOB and I still can't get used to that concept). We ordered our meals after our drinks arrived. I like to keep it simple on a first visit. If you've seen my other reviews, it sorta makes sense. I got the linguine, with mushroom sauce and meatballs. It gives me a chance to see if the pasta is boxed or not, how fresh the ingredients are, the taste of the sauce, and if they can make a decent meatball. The linguine was made in the kitchen from scratch and the mushroom marinara was delicious. The meatballs are amongst the best I've had in the area, including two NYC Little Italys (Manhattan and Bronx). The salad was fresh and crisp and the bread came out warm and delicious. It's a bit of a drive from Clinton, but I am going to try their pizza at my next takeout opportunity.

It's such a great local spot, and I don't think enough people realize what it is or how good it's become. My mom and I stopped in for lunch and sat outside on Main Street, which was honestly so lovely. It felt really special to just sit, enjoy a great meal, and be part of the community. We met Mo, who took such great care of us and made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. We started with the hummus, which was incredibly fresh and smooth, and you could tell everything was made with care. For our mains, we had the lamb chops and the lemon chicken, both of which were delicious. The lamb was tender and perfectly cooked, and the lemon chicken had such a bright, balanced flavor. The potatoes were a standout, roasted and finished in a lemon butter that made them unforgettable. If you haven't been in a while, or didn't realize there's been a change, it's definitely worth stopping in. Main Street businesses could really use the support, and this place is one that deserves it. Go say hi to Mo and give it a try.
