Cafe Basilico - Bistro & Deli

3.0

A long-running deli-cafe with a courtyard feel, popular for weekend brunch.

Fifteen-plus years of consistent brunch and deli fare with a relatively roomy courtyard-style layout that's more comfortable than most Causeway spots for sitting a while. Good midweek daytime option for a couple of hours of work over coffee.

One of the more comfortable sit-down options off the main Causeway drag for a working coffee.
