Great Basin Comm Food Co-op

We are traveling to Utah for a mountain biking trip and stopped over night to break up the drive. Last night we needed to figure out breakfast and lunch for the road today. Being healthy eaters....we did not want to stop for fast food on the way. We found Great Basin in Reno while searching online and decided to check it out. What a gem of a place! They have a variety of prepared foods. My daughter (age 15) got a turkey pesto club for lunch and some yogurt and granola for breakfast. I got a delicious chia parfait for breakfast and a Cobb salad for later. They had my daughter's favorite kombucha (wild tonic). My husband found some perfect snacks for the road for himself. Upstairs they have an espresso/coffee bar with ample seating. I had my own tea that I wanted to make myself and the gentleman manning the cafe filled my thermos with hot water and allowed me to take over a table while I made my yerba mate latte! The staff was incredibly helpful and kind and they all seem to love working there. I read some reviews that complained about prices being high. I think it is important to remember that it costs a lot to own a business and to offer the quality of food that is offered, it costs money. They are competing against markets that are huge corporations. Something to consider..... We will visit again on our way back. Thanks again Great Basin. We are nourished!
