    "Basics" is a new coffee place in the same building as the Main Street Laundromat. The prior space used to be more of a full service restaurant. As the name states, it is just the basics, coffee, tea, bagels, muffins, sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, hot dogs etc. Super clean inside with friendly owner and employees. Very good prices, with seating inside or out. Bagels w/ cream cheese were delicious as well as the hot coffee. I highly recommend "Basics" even if you don't need to do laundry. BTW- It is completely separate from the laundromat so it is. Ice and quiet.

    Great variety to choose from.

    If you want the best cinnamon rolls you've ever had in your life, you have to come to Basics. They have a few options for the toppings and they are all delicious. Expresso brownie is good too. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. They also have great coffee and expresso bar. Don't judge!! Yes, we tried one of everything.

    Stopped by on the way to California to try their acclaimed cinnamon rolls. Soo glad I did! Fresh cinnamon rolls topped with either maple bacon, maple, lemon, expresso basic glaze and more! So good!! I also grabbed a chicken salad sandwich and it was delicious too! Great place to stop by and grab a bite and support a local small business.

    Please don't miss stopping into this place. The owners are so sweet and so nice. Service is impeccable. The food was tasty. Do yourself a favor and order the maple bacon cinnamon roll. So soft and delicious. We also ordered the Turkey,cranberry, and herb cream cheese sandwich. Very yummy.

    Entrance is near this sign.

    We were on a road trip and found this place due to the reviews. It's a little hard to find....its on the street side of the laundromat. LOVED the chicken salad and the service was so friendly!!!

    Perfect little pit stop on the drive between Los Angeles & Phoenix!! I LOVED the iced vanilla latte.... i've tried a lot of lattes and this is seriously one of the best ever. Chicken salad on bagel was delicious as were the biscuits and gravy & muffins!! Michelle the owner is super friendly and welcoming!! They've been around since 2009 apparently :) Will definitely stop by on my next road trip!! Very cute little mom & pop shop.

    Basics serves specialty hot, blended and cold coffee drinks. They serve a limited breakfast, including biscuits and gravy, with eggs, amazing gourmet cinnamon rolls: maple bacon, orange cream, espresso cream and maple pecan to name a few. For lunch they have hot dogs, chili dogs, egg salad and chicken salad. The service is great, always with a greeting and a smile. The place is very clean and decorated very cute. Give it a try, you won't be sorry.

Coffee was good, besides not getting a spoon to stir my coffee, that's okay. Coffee was great nonetheless. Breakfast was really good too. HashBrowns was cooked to perfection. Eggs were cooked well too and toast was delicious for sourdough, except I would have liked more butter, but that's okay too. This place is located right next door to a Mc Donald's- (Dick move on corporations) I suggest you give this place a try while driving through Quartzsite for breakfast. A local mom and pop shop that deserves support for a tasty meal.

    I was so disappointed today and it pains me to write this review. But unlike other times, this…read morevisit will be our last. There was only one server, Josh, running the entire front of the house by himself. Apparently this is customary on Wednesdays. Before he could seat us, he had to clear off a table. Several tables were just in disarray and when people came in, this poor man had to scramble to clean something off. I went to the bathroom and one stall had absolutely no toilet paper or covers. And one dispenser had no soap. The bathroom was just yucky. When I came back, we still didn't have menus or drinks. When our food came, we asked for condiments that took too long that we ended up taking them from another table. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. The cook gave me a stale biscuit that just ruined my meal. I couldn't eat it or ask for it to be remade because Josh was too busy to check in on us or refill our drinks. I told him when he came to pick up the plates. He apologized, but he didn't remove it from the check. I paid $10 for a meal I couldn't eat. We got a piece of pie and the taste was kind of weird...like it had been freezer burned and then defrosted. The whole experience was disappointing.

Looking online it seemed this was the only place open so I wasn't expecting much still happy to go somewhere. I was pleasantly surprised. The vibe was family-friendly in the restaurant side and just had an all around comfortable feeling. I sat at the bar and was greeted by sunshine in human form. Marsha is what customer service is all about. And the BLT I got was delicious! I always stop and do the tourist thing when driving through and now I will make this gem a must do everytime. Thanks Marsha!

    The pizza was just okay, but the service attitude was extremely bad I will never come again!…read moreHere's what happened: 1. The server seated us at a two-person table that was very wobbly. At the time, I didn't think much of it, but looking back, it felt intentional. 2. We arrived at 12:45 and ordered a medium-sized pizza and one Coke. After she brought the Coke and water, we waited until 1:20. I asked another server about our pizza, and she said she would let our server know. After another 8 minutes, our server came over, expressionless, placed the pizza on the stand, and walked away without saying a word. At that point, I thought maybe she was just busy, so I didn't think much of it. But when we finished eating, my husband went to the restroom, and I got up to pay. I was looking around for our server when I saw her walking straight toward me with the bill and a plastic takeout box. Without saying a word, she placed them on the table and left. It felt incredibly rude. Now I feel like she was inexplicably rude to us the entire time, and I suspect it might be racial discrimination. Either way, I will never go back to this place!
