BasBlue Café

Where Every Moment
is a Warm Welcome

BasBlue’s Café is more than just a dining spot—it’s a vibrant hub for community connection, from early morning breakfasts to evening happy hours. Our warm, relaxing atmosphere fosters meaningful conversations, chance encounters, and new friendships.

Our Chef-in-Residence crafts an expertly curated menu that celebrates local flavors and shared experiences. Featuring seasonal farm-to-table offerings, we support local agriculture while serving fresh, delicious options. The Chef-in-Residence program nurtures emerging culinary talent by providing support in business processes, customer base expansion, brand awareness, and financial knowledge, fostering entrepreneurship in our local culinary landscape.

We empower women-owned businesses through our locally roasted coffee, while our resident mixologist’s signature cocktails add flair to social gatherings.

At BasBlue’s Café, every meal, coffee, or cocktail nourishes both body and community bonds. It’s where ideas are exchanged, collaborations are born, and the spirit of BasBlue thrives in every interaction.

SUPPORT BASBLUE IN 2025

Since we opened our doors in 2021, BasBlue has helped over 700 women and non-binary individuals each year overcome gender-based inequities, find support, develop professionally, and find a place to belong–and our future is bright.

In 2025, we’re designing experiences that amplify women and non-binary leaders’ potential, and we can’t do it without your help.
