“Simple, delicious food & treats”

The Picnic Basket is dedicated to simple, delicious food and treats, seasoned with lots of love. Local farmers, foragers, and artisans, including the famous Penny Ice Creamery, are the cornerstone of our seasonal menu. Dine in our cozy café, grab an ice cream cone, or take a picnic basket to go as you venture out into the city, sea, or mountains. The Picnic Basket is a project of The Glass Jar.
