More Than a Café — It's Where Strathmore Comes Together

The Picnic Basket started with a simple idea: a place where the coffee is always fresh, the food is made with real ingredients, and the atmosphere feels like home. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for a long evening with friends, we've saved a seat for you.

Locally Sourced Ingredients

We partner with nearby farms and suppliers to bring you the freshest flavors Central Valley has to offer.

A Space That Feels Like Yours

From morning solo coffee to weekend gatherings, our space adapts to whatever moment you're in.

Handcrafted with Care

Every drink and dish is prepared with intention — no shortcuts, just real flavor.

Why People Keep Coming Back

It's not just what we serve — it's how we make you feel when you walk through the door.

Morning Coffee Ritual

Start your day right with single-origin espresso, pour-over, or a perfectly steamed latte — made by baristas who care.

Weekend Gatherings

Brunch with friends, game-day spreads, or a casual dinner — our space is built for connection and good times.

Private Events

Birthdays, milestone celebrations, or corporate gatherings — we'll help you plan a stress-free event that feels special.

Cocktails After Dark

When the sun sets, the bar comes alive. Craft cocktails, local beers, and a vibe that keeps the night going.

I come here for the lunch bowl most days — it's fresh, filling, and honestly some of the best food I've had in town. The Sunset Spritz is a must-try in the evening.
