Located at
215 East Lexington Avenue in High Point, Basil Café & Catering offers
soups, salads, sandwiches, and more. It is open from 10:30-3 Monday-Wednesday,
10:30-9 Thursday-Saturday, and closed Sunday. Food specials change daily.
This small spot at Lexington and Hamilton has all the makings of a sleeper hit. It’s clean and more spacious than it appears from the outside. While the menu is somewhat limited and a bit basic, the daily specials (which include entrees and desserts) show more flair. Prices are affordable, and Sherry, the owner, is friendly and upbeat.
For my
first visit, I took a chicken pesto flatbread and cherry cobbler (both daily
specials) to go and was not disappointed. The flatbread (chicken, pesto,
tomatoes, onion, and mozzarella) was excellent: tasty pesto, juicy chicken, melty
cheese, and fresh flavors all around. The cherry cobbler, while less memorable,
was still quite satisfying.
All told, Basil Café is a very promising lunch option that should not be overlooked.
