Went here for lunch and the staff were lovely, very helpful, the shop Renos look greatBUT SO Disappointed to see that they are still serving all the food and drinks and straws in plastic!!! This would have been a chance to lead the way out of the 80s ! When we didnt know better or even care!There are so many better options and innovative ways to deal with this.If Farm Basket would promote itself as non- plastic cafe I am sure that would resonate well in the community and be a good marketing strategy too.The food is great but really, having to have it all served in plastic even when eating in is off-putting and frustrating.I really hope theyll address this because its just so bad on so many levels!

Tried today for the first time, recommended by my beautiful wife whos been locked away in our bedroom with Covid for the last 3 days. Hoping this new-to-me place would spring life back into my zombified spouse, I drove as fast as I could.I get back to the house and take out each of the individually bagged sandwich meals. The bags have been taped together with tape that one can only imagine a company called Gorilla Glue can make. Lacking Dwayne The Rock Johnsons muscular physique, I struggle to open the bags. Hearing my wifes hungry Covid moans from the upstairs bedroom, I started to get nervous. I fling open the junk drawer, pushing aside our Instant Ramen Maker and stolen Wasabi ramekins and find our one and only pair of scissors in the entire 8000 sq ft house. I cut open the bags. Im coming, honey, rescue is on the way.I open our bedroom door, hands shaking, unknowing of whats inside. Im greeted with a possum grin, shes knows whats in that bag. I lock the door behind me and go back downstairs to open my bag. Its chicken salad, tater salad, and a brownie.Lawd hammercy this chicken salad is Gods gift to Virginia. Theres grapes. Theres almonds. Theres just enough mayonnaise to make you not regret stepping on the scale the next morning.The tater salad is so good that saying its so good it makes you wanna smack yo momma is an understatement. You should go smack your grandma and ask her why didnt you have food this good growing up. Go on, call her.Lastly, the brownie. Lawd I done died and Im typing this in heaven cuz I done got da diabeetus. This sweet little brown square is enough to get them childhood cavities tingling again. Yo teeth gone be cryin.10/10 would recommend FarmBasket. Helped my wifes Covid and I found a nice, new place.

What a beautiful, wonderful place to have lunch! The food was great, the atmosphere was wonderful and the price was very reasonable! We were visiting my daughter from Florida! We enjoyed it so much we went two days in a row! A must for lunch!!

Food and atmosphere is great but the “skip the line order online” is a lie. we waited over 40 minutes for our order. :/ tough go. and at that point there was no line. Moral of story: stay in line. don’t order online

I ordered online today and my delicious spinach salad was waiting for me right on time! It was tasty, fresh, and lovely to enjoy on the beautiful deck outside…a real treat.

I absolutely love this place and always have. The variety of items is amazing! The shop is beautiful and very organized at all times. Best smelling candles! Dont forget to try the Flourless Chocolate Cake it is so very delicious! Every bite is like a taste of heaven 🙂 Susan was of great help to me on 6/19/21 she helped me find everything I wanted and needed and then some. She is fantastic! Keep up the good work everyone and thank you for always making my shopping experiences memorable and exciting 👍

Lots of specialty candy, soups, etc. Nice selection. Very nice staff, and store was comfy and cozy, like home.

Love the placeAs well as the restaurant in the backGreat food and great selection

The shop was great! Many fun gift ideas. We did eat a lunch and dessert. They both were good. There is inside and beautiful outside dinning area for folks to sit and relax.

Stopped in for a quick lunch with my wife. Virginia ham and swiss sandwich, what a treat. My wife has some kind of pimento cheese sandwich that she enjoyed. Great spot.

Its a lovely place with specialty homemade sandwiches and soups. You can dine in or carry out. They offer an exceptional pimento cheese in take-home containers as well. They have lovely quality gifts and plants. An old Lynchburg staple since the 60s.

One of the most unique places I’ve ever shopped at. Interesting experience, yet lavish! I’d shop here again, esp for clothes for my kids (whenever I have some). They had the cutest baby romper with little blue whales printed all throughout the outfit. Im certain most of the items sold here are mostly local items, but I appreciated seeing imported items as well. Next time I visit, I’d love to try that French DiJon Mustard mixed with honey.Thanks for an awesome experience!

Delightful place with hornet goodies, hits, clothing and flowers. The wonderful aroma of fresh baked cookies greeted customers. The staff were very helpful.

The restaurant in the back of the clean and richly-varied storefront almost exclusively serves sandwiches. This is a pretty solid business plan, as their sandwiches are delicious. I had a turkey and brie sandwich on darkened multigrain with (apricot? not sure) jam and lettuce/spinach greens to make it nice and light. It was surprisingly comprehensive in its taste profile. The jam complemented the mellow brie in conjunction with a good meat-to-cheese ratio to finish out a nice little gem of a sandwich.Only downside is that none of the sandwiches include a side or drink, and their meal deal, the boxed lunch, just gives you chips and a very, very small dessert (it took me 4 bites to finish my lemon point cake slice) with NO drink for $4 more. I got a normal bottled ginger ale for a not-so-great price of $3 bringing a single sandwich meal here to $14 before tax. Not the worst prices Ive ever seen, but not the best deals, either.

Smoke Turkey and Cheese sandwich was delicious! I would definitely get it again!

The food was incredible. We sat at the picnic table by the creek and relaxed to the sound of water running over the rocks. Will definitely eat here again.

Best sandwiches I have ever had... and I dont even like sandwiches! Their outdoor patio in warmer months is so lovely - one of my favorite spots to take a good book and spend a lazy afternoon.

Ive been to the Farm Basket three times in the past couple of years. I went again this weekend, and was surprised to see that the store and cafe looked almost exactly the same. For most places, this type of consistency is a good thing. The food from the cafe is excellent, and the boutique is carefully curated.However, the service and bug problem is atrocious.I will speak first to the lovely items in the boutique. Each time I have come, I have admired the choices in the shop. Everything is colorful and of superior quality. However, the clerks watch you like a hawk and come across more like security guards. You end up getting the impression they are deciding instantly whether or not you have enough money to be worth their time. When I came a few years ago, my mother-in-law (MIL) bought a purse as well as some kitchen decor, and the demeanor of the shop keeper was instantly more pleasant. Perhaps install security cameras instead? I know you take pride in your shop, but the customer service is very uncomfortable.The cafe has absolutely tasty sandwiches, soups, and desserts. There has consistently been a long wait for food. We wait in line on average 15-20 minutes to order, and the food can take anywhere from 20-40 minutes to be served. We are all okay with that because it is just THAT tasty. It is overpriced in a sense, but it can be chalked up to fresher/better ingredients and matches the pricing in the store.This last weekend was sadly perhaps my last visit. Previous visits have shown that the owners dont seem to care remotely that there is an abnormal amount of wasps flying around in the cafe near the roof, bees inside, and the occasional flies. I have been to many cafes, but not ones that welcome bees and wasps at an indoor seating area. Please note that I am saying it has been this way for years. This visit and last, I noticed people were avoiding sitting in the upstairs area which is closest to all of the wasps. We planned to sit outside to eat as it was a beautiful day, and planned to buy our favorite picks from the store after. While waiting in line to order food, a bee stung me. I dont know when it landed on me, so I guess my shifting in line freaked it out or something. The staff saw what happened but stayed silent, and in a completely lackadaisical manner asked for our order. Ignoring the fact that I had been stung. Seriously? I can handle being stung by a bee, but we have seen more empathy from customer service at fast food restaurants - especially considering that we spent about $75 in food alone. Thank God Im not anaphylactic. This is disappointing, and I dont feel like getting stung by bees, wasps, or any other sort of thing in order to get delicious food. Im glad you are supporting wildlife, but letting it live and thrive inside your cafe is weird and unusual.

Love this place! Great ambiance, cute finds in the gift shop area and the food is always just right. The view is wonderful although parking isnt the best when it is busy. Wonderful people work here and they are very kind and remember you. Great place for weekend brunch!

Friendly staff, and a really nice store with a lot of offer ranging from plants, houseware, and theres a cafe inside also.

I dont usually give reviews, but this is a little slice of heaven. The food is some of the best Ive ever eaten, and the atmosphere is delightful also.-cook by trade

Good Food! Glad we could eat outside.

Delicious...like homemade !!

This place has delicious sandwiches with small sides and a cookie all for under 10 bucks. The food is all quality and fresh with quick and friendly service. The location is right down the road from the hospital; so if youre visiting relatives, this is a nice place for quality and healthy lunch.

Pretentious and over priced.

Delicious deli. Fresh food, happy place to sit and watch to stream rolling past was pretty sweet for a chill little lunch!Also they have the most beautiful dinner ware for sale. I wish I could have registered here for my dishes and flatware! Blown away by the styles and range of choices.

This is the cutest place and cutest shop!!! I love coming here to just simply feel refreshed! I also love taking pictures here! If you need some insta worthy pictures, this is the place!! They also have the cutest little restaurant that would be the perfect date location!! I highly recommend this cute little shop!!

What a charming shop. I had read about it and found it while walking a trail near by. I didnt have my wallet with me but I will be going back. Some of the gift items would be perfect for the holidays.

Amazing food, beautiful place.

To be fair, the place is quite nice, they have a lot of cute things to buy, from apparel to gourmet food items, and their cafe menu has good and healthy choices. Ive been many times and the food or the gift store never disappoints me.However, their staff is extremely rude and unwelcoming, you never leave the store thinking this time they treated me well.One time I went with my husband on a Saturday to grab some sandwiches. We arrived at 2:55pm not knowing that their kitchen closes at 3pm, although the place closes at 5pm. They told us their kitchen was closed in a no-smile no-sorry way. Surprising, specially by this countrys standards on customer care.I also usually buy a few gourmet sauces from there, at least once a month! Last time, I went with a friend to grab lunch and buy and I mistakenly took the wrong flavor. I went to the store today to exchange it (not even return it) and they told me they dont return food items, as if this was a bag of tomatoes and it had gone already bad or something. It had the seal on, their tag with the store name and the bar code and everything. Very disappointed.Ive been always bringing friends to it and coming back after all because I always think anyone can have a bad day, but this time it was one too many.

Great place. Lots too see. A bit 9n the expensive side though.

Food is good, but nevertheless overpriced. Noticed that a cook named Trey was verbally abusive and demeaning to the rest of the staff on a bi-weekly basis when I went there to eat. I do not understand how any business can tolerate that kind of treatment to its employees. Also overheard a lot of gossip while I was waiting for my food. I dont think the employees seem to understand that their actions should have consequences. I will not be eating here anymore and have been warning many other people I know to not eat or shop here. My company will no longer be getting orders for our staff from the Farm Basket as well.

Amazing food, nice service.

The food (especially the soup) was very good. Their sandwich ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Portions were a little smaller than Id like but certainly not unreasonable. I wasnt a big fan of the eating not being well sectioned off from the shop but the views were very nice and shoppers didnt really venture into the eating area.

Farm basket offers great gifts and hospitality items. They also serve delicious food and if its a nice day you can sit out back by the patio. A great shop off Langhorne road.

Super cute place and great location. The food is very tasty with dishes I wouldnt have thought to put together. Friendly staff as well. Very busy.

Beloved and even better during quarantine

You feel right at home at the Farm Basket. Everyone is very friendly and courteous. The food is great and the prices are very reasonable. The chicken salad sandwich is one of the best sandwiches Ive ever had. It is definitely a must if you are in Lynchburg and want fun, local place to eat.

For me, Farm Basket is an oasis of beauty and peace. In addition to offering an expansive variety of quality goods, plants, clothing, and household beauties, there is also comfortable seating with large windows overlooking Blackwater Creek. You can purchase delectable food and beverages as well. Like I said, an oasis.

Absolutely loved it. Cannot wait to go back. Such a cute place and I can’t wait to try their other items. So far their sandwiches do not disappoint. Love the atmosphere and fresh ingredients.

Fresh and delicious food with a boutique style gift shop.

Very nice boutique kind of store with a wide variety of special items. If you are looking for just the right gift you will probably find it here. Also have a nice deli

Very nice lunch and fun place to shop! Tuna sandwich and salad combo was flavorful and fresh. Ice tea was good as well.

Nice to look around..lots of pretty gifts..few small plants..homemade foods...bit pricey. city meets shabby chic on farmInteresting.. order food-sandwiches & soup and eat in rear of store with neat view thru big windows with big deck.I give it a four for interesting and near the hospital but if you were raised on a real farm, you won t be impressed.😉

Consistently good food. The Smoked Turkey and Brie sandwich (with fig jam) is excellent!

Delicious fresh produce. Neat little gifts. Tasty treats from all over. Items can be a bit pricey, but this shop is definitely worth checking out!

Beautiful place that is great to sit, relax and enjoy good conversation (or study). Its a laid back atmosphere with great options for lunch and a gorgeous setting overlooking a creek. The staff could be more welcoming though.

Great food

Its a very charming location! Youll feel a bit cramped while browsing but youll enjoy the experience. I highly recommend it!

This place was really cool. I think of it as a nicer Panera bread in terms of the food. Good stuff.

Love this place. Good clean food. The curried cauliflower soup is amazing. Spend about $10 On lunch.

Delicious food and a great view! It felt a little crowded with all the merchandise for sale. I would eat here again though!

This is such a neat place. The Café has a simple menu of sandwiches, salads and soup, all delicious and you find southern staples. The shop has so many cute things, from gourmet food to nice gifts and clothing, including house decoration. They also sell lovely plants in season. Its a must if you are in Lynchburg!

Love this little shop! Awesome selections for gifts!

Lovely little store and restaurant. The chicken salad was wonderful. Also picked up a cantaloupe that was perfectly ripe and sweet. Very girly place, nice for a ladies luncheon.

They have the best sandwiches. The brie and smoked turkey with fig jelly is my favorite. They have whats called the lunch box where you get the sandwich, side and dessert of your choice for about 10.00 dollars. They have the very best sweet tea!!! Everything is himemade.

Specialty shop that has a little something for everyone! I really like the specialty food items and beverages.

Its a cute little store and all but theres a few bad things about it. First, the prices were extremely high on the items in the shop. As for the food, the meals were all kinda weird but it shouldnt be a problem if youre into eating healthy.

Horrible place. Dead flies all over. Rude people at counter. They always forget something. Too busy talking. Hours of operation are screwed up. One day it’s 4, next it’s 3 another time it’s 3:30.

Always a thrill to go to. Fresh local food prepared well and merchandise that makes me nearly swoon.

Had a wonderful lunch with my mother at a picnic table by the stream. They also have great cake :-)

They had some gourds on display that they said they didnt have a price on yet & couldnt sell. Was disappointed since I really wanted a certain one :(

Fun place to look around and have lunch

I enjoy lunch here pretty often. Great food and staff.

I have never been snubbed by every clerk in a store. I brought my sister from Richmond and another friend for what I what I thought would be a pleasant shopping experience, I counted 4 employees that walked passed me and one even made eye contact, they never spoke, welcomed me to their store, never asked could they assit me in any way. I have worked in retail before, so I dont want to hear any lame excuses. Rude rude clerks! I will not shop there again.

ADORABLE place. Neat things to look at. High price, but worth it.

Great sandwiches

Warm and inviting Place fantastic food highly recommend. Had the turkey sandwich on rye bread, amazing!

Great sandwiches with view of Blackwater Creek while you eat. Unique and extensive selection of gourmet foods, wines and everything else for home and garden in their labyrinthine gift shop.

The freshest ingredients with kind service

Really nice place to get away to study or just to have lunch. I recommend coming in the summer/fall and sitting out by the river while enjoying some of the delicious sandwiches!

Wonderful... EVERYTHING!!!....unexpected treasures. I always love going there, and find the most amazing gifts!!

Great customer service and friendly. Ended up telling them them to pick out something for $20 and send to someone. My new go-to!

We always eat and shop here whenever we are in Lynchburg. The food is so delicious!

Delicious! A little pricey, but its a great treat once in awhile

Love the fresh foods and eclectic selection of goods to purchase

Great food and wonderful gift shop. Thrilled to see products from Simon Pearce, Vietri, Juliska and Swell!!

Love the Turkey and Brie with Fig Jam.

Food was alright for a quick bite but not filling or sublime.

I couldnt figure out how to change the poster from my son to me... so Im Carol Moorefield. I doubt that the anonymous poster will see this, but others will see her somewhat scathing review of The Farm Basket. Though it was 4 years ago, I wish the poster had posted his/her name. Why? Because when people hide behind anonymous, it tends to suggest a hit and run, pot-stirring, or troll image. I am sorry that persons only visit to The Farm Basket was not a pleasant one, but speaking anonymously takes away any opportunity for the store to contact an individual and seek ways to improve or correct. I have been coming hear regularly for almost 24 years. I cant find enough adjectives to describe my experiences! Let me briefly share several recent highlights. 1) There was a mix-up with orders, and almost everyone had their lunch except me. Debbie and Frances both noticed and immediately rectified the situation. 2) I really wanted an item for friends birthday and I was stuck in traffic. I called ahead, but missed the closing time of 5. I arrived at almost ten after, and they had stayed waiting for me. Does that sound like people who dont care about their customers? 3) When the refrigerators were down, I didnt know if I could get more pimiento cheese. Debbie saw to it that I did. 4) When I was there this past Saturday, the chef, Trae, overheard me say that I was a celiac. He came out and said that he tries very hard to keep salads segregated, but since they also use salads for sandwiches, he couldnt guarantee that crumbs couldnt be airborne. Does that sound like someone who does not care about their customers? 5) Debbie noticed that another regular customer was sitting right behind me. She introduced me to Ginger. I knew Ginger by sight, but did not know her by name. All these things have been done to/for others. I am definitely not an exception. I cant think of a more pleasant peaceful place to eat and shop! The Farm Basket: thanks for all you do!

Good food and atmosphere.

Courteous.... not pushy..... unique selection

Wonderful local gift store and food, it has something for everyone!

Food is fresh and very good. Staff is not particularly friendly. Rude/snooty.

It is a little pricey and not handicap accessible. Which is a shame because the food is good and the merchandise unique.

Neat things. And great food

They have delicious food and beautiful merchandise

Cute clothes, nice plants, good food!

Food is delicious, staff a little brusque. Expensive for what you get.

Good food and friendly service.

Classic Lynchburg! Great food and shopping

Beautiful store and scenery. It was a bit expensive but nice atmosphere

Outdated Merchandise, old building, racist staff=dont go...Old employees are only nice to you if youre rich and white...

Fun sandwiches and lovely gifts!

Always fun to shop here

The best restuarant in Lynchburg, VA

Nice food.

Wonderful chicken salad

Nice lunch outside by the water but with all the rain the water was muddy.

Coziest place In Lynchburg
