More than a café —
it's your place

The Picnic Basket opened its doors on Hickory Boulevard with one simple idea: make a space where neighbors actually want to linger. Whether you're grabbing a quick espresso before work or settling in with a cold drink and good company after, this is the spot that feels like home.

We pour our hearts into every cup and plate — from locally roasted coffee to handcrafted cocktails — because the little moments matter. And we mean the real little moments: the laugh over breakfast, the quiet afternoon read, the toast that kicks off a great night.
