Public and Private Events Welcome
The Community Room at Basics can accommodate up to 75 guests and is equipped with a large dry-erase board, podium, tables, and chairs.
Cost is only $20 for Co-op Owners or $40 for the general public, for up to 4 hours!
Please note: No outside food is permitted, except for cakes/cupcakes. Our in-store Co-op Cafe caters for all events. Basics is a full-service natural foods store. Even if you do not purchase catering for your event, many items are available for purchase from the store such as drinks, snacks, chips and dips, desserts, and more! We highly recommend Pastries By Chad, LLC for custom cakes. No alcohol is permitted in The Community Room.
Stop at the service desk, call (608) 754-3925 or email basicscommunityroom@gmail.com for room availability and additional rental details.
A special feature in our Community Room is the 1,500 square-foot mural painted by local artist and former co-op staffer Allegrea S.B. Rosenberg. The mural spans all 4 walls and depicts a “farm to table” theme encompassing all 4 seasons and landcapes from all over the globe. It is available for public viewing in between booked events (or any time the door is open). The one-of-a-kind mural is also a perfect backdrop for birthday parties and celebrations!
