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.

Sipping on my Ginger Tumeric as I write this review!!! As I big lover of kombucha, I've always…read morewanted to try one of these "on tap" places but never managed to make the drive to one. Finally one is just around the corner! I stopped by on a weekday and was greeted at the door by a member of their team. After I told him it was my first visit, he explained the prices on the two sizes as well as the flavors they had available for the day. I got a couple of tastes and ended up leaving with a 12oz of the ginger tumeric and a growler of the red zinger. All for around $26-$27. I usually go through one of the Health Ade bottles a day so I love that these are organic and locally nano-brewed. They don't have the tartness that most kombuchas I am used to have, so that is either a plus or minus for you depending on your individual preference. Oh! One more thing, if you live nearby and plan to go here quite a bit, go for the growler. You bring it back with each visit and refills are $15 compared to the $20 you'll spend on your first time. So of course this is a *Covid times review and I felt that they took some great steps to keep customers and their staff safe. They have a little table set up outside where you drop off growlers and pick up refilled ones. Hand sanitizer was on the table and a menu was on the window so the whole interaction was nearly contactless. Andddd now my ginger turmeric is officially done...

Her flavors today included Red Zinger (made with beets and carrot), a Green Booch and Mint Chocolate chip (how different and cool)! Bought a 12oz in a glass jar for about $4 today. Great price. Although I prefer my kombucha a bit more carbonated and sour, hers is delightfully fresh which is wonderful! I'll be back to purchase more!

I cannot recommend Simply Green Cafe enough! From the service to the food, this is now my favorite…read morebreakfast spot and one of my top restaurants. Everything on the menu is vegan, but my family truly could not taste any difference when we visited. We ordered the Oreo protein pancakes, blueberry pancakes, penne with vodka sauce, and a breakfast burrito. Since I turned vegan, I've been craving pancakes so the food really hit the spot. The pancakes were so fluffy and tasted incredible. The penne was also so flavorful and was maybe our favorite dish. The breakfast burrito was also filling and tasted great. Overall, I'm very impressed with the quality of food and would come here regularly if I lived in the area. Additionally, the prices were super reasonable and are definitely more affordable than the average restaurant in the area. Chelsea was our waitress and I want to give her a special shoutout because she was particularly helpful and friendly to us. She did an excellent job answering our questions and even was willing to share general tips on vegan cooking. She really went out of her way to help me out after I mentioned that I recently turned vegan.

Whenever I'm visiting family in central NJ, Grounded for Life is a must visit for me…read more As a vegan, it's a real challenge to find decent - let alone GOOD - food in this area. The exception is Grounded for Life, which offers delicious breakfast and lunch options that are thoughtfully prepared, delicious, and satisfying. Their extensive, all vegan menu offers breakfast options such as bagel sandwiches, burritos, toasts, and more, and even their coffee is surprisingly good! I have also enjoyed their wraps, bowls, and sandwiches. And they even have burgers and hot dogs, too. GfL is my new spot for takeout (order ahead online to save time!) before heading to the airport. The chunky chicken wrap saved me when my flight back to the West coast (already a long journey) was delayed by several hours and I was starving. The cafe also has a number of yummy desserts displayed in the case that are great to-go. GfL also offers a "Meal Prep" option where you can order food on a weekly or monthly basis. Service is friendly and efficient, but they are sometimes understaffed. Try to be patient and nice, and your tasty food will be out soon enough. The cafe itself is pretty small with just a few tables indoors. The outdoor patio is more expansive, and I recommend enjoying your food and drinks outside if the weather is decent.

Just Chill is such a gem in downtown Clinton! If you're looking for frozen yogurt or ice cream in…read moreClinton, NJ, this is so much more than your typical ice cream stop. It feels like a little boutique frozen dessert shop, with plenty of rotating flavors, fun toppings, seasonal specials, and tons of options beyond a basic scoop or cone. There's a huge selection of both soft serve frozen yogurt and hard ice cream. The classic chocolate and vanilla soft serve twist was so yummy, and the pumpkin soft serve was to die for! I can't wait to come back and try the coconut and cake batter soft serve. I also have my eye on some of their hard ice cream flavors, like Strawberry Cheesecake, S'Mores, Sea Salt Caramel Truffle, and Carrot Cake...the list goes on. And then there are the toppings! Cookie dough, brownies, Nutella, hot fudge, popping boba, candies, sauces, and so much more. You can keep it simple or basically turn your cup into an entire dessert creation. Definitely try their milkshakes, too! The Pumpkin S'mores Cheesecake Milkshake is out of this world. It's made with pumpkin ice cream, marshmallow, chocolate sauce, graham cracker crumbs, and whipped cream, and basically tastes like every good fall dessert rolled into one. It's rich, creamy, decadent, and absolutely worth trying while it's in season. It's also a great spot if you're looking for a lighter or dietary-friendly sweet treat, with plenty of nonfat frozen yogurt and gluten-free choices alongside all the more indulgent desserts. The space itself is one of the highlights. It's SO cute inside. Mint green walls, exposed brick, a Just Chill neon sign against the greenery wall, and such a bright, cheerful, modern feel. It feels trendy and thoughtfully designed while still being incredibly family-friendly. There's plenty of indoor seating, a bathroom, a cozy window seating area, and even a little kids' corner with books and games. There's outdoor seating as well, which makes it such a nice stop while walking around historic downtown Clinton. The owners are also incredibly warm and welcoming. You can tell how enthusiastic they are about the shop and how much they genuinely care about creating a place people want to come back to. That makes such a difference with a local, family-owned business. Another thing I didn't realize until recently is that Just Chill makes custom ice cream cakes and pies! You can choose your flavors and customize them with different toppings, sauces, candies, and more. Such a fun option for birthdays and celebrations. Between the frozen yogurt, hard ice cream, seasonal flavors, toppings, specialty milkshakes, custom cakes, and adorable atmosphere, Just Chill feels like a destination for dessert rather than somewhere you just stop for a scoop. Such a fun spot on Main Street and definitely one of my new favorite places for something sweet in Clinton and Hunterdon County. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more!
