In town for a conference. They are fast and the food was delicious. We had the croissant club breakfast sandwich. The pattys were and made and eggs cooked to order and it came with potatoes. Large enough to share. The OJ is delicious and fresh. The staff and their service is kind and quick. We will definitely be back.

The worst overpriced chili I've ever had. $15 for canned beans and no spices. Bland nasty tasting food, new owner brought the quality down. Stay away from this place, avoid at all costs, you've been warned.

Decent place, food not as good as expected but then again I think the experience is mostly on giving first impressions. The service workers seemed very rushed and not very polite. My wife ordered the black bean chili soup and it took the longest of 3 items to be completed. She said there was not enough flavor and tasted too sweet. I tried it and i agree. A $12 soup in a tiny bowl and not very good flavor. Sandwiches were decent. My son ordered a sandwich with lamb which he said was very tasty. I tried it and it was great. However I ordered a turkey sandwich and there were no flavor or any spices on the sandwich which made it bland. A sandwich at home would taste much better. Very cold atmosphere, literally it was much warmer outside and the outside probably much more pleasant then our cold experience.

Simple simons bakery was recommended to me by a coworker who had hyped this unassuming eatery. I thought they had oversold it until I went in person. I went in on a Tuesday morning at 12:00 during the lunch rush. Everything came out quick, after the first bite I knew I’d be coming back again. I went back Saturday morning and my fiancé fell in love with everything. 5/5 stars. Could not recommend this place enough.

Honestly the food was delicious. The only problem was that they forgot to bring me my food so I had to ask after 20mins and they apologized for forgetting to bring my foodWheelchair accessibility: The space was very accessible for any client.

We were keen to visit Simple Simon's based on someone's review. Located opposite the Mission Inn museum store, on Main Street, it's a great place, almost always crowded. I like that they have vegetarian options. We enjoyed their sandwiches. The pastries are great, especially the sticky bun and pecan bar. I'm here in Riverside on a short visit and as I'm leaving next week, thought I'd pick up some pastries. I left the bakery feeling quite happy. When I got back home I was so disappointed to see although they had billed me for some items, they did not pack them, in spite of asking me three times for what I'd ordered. So two tips when you visit1. Check their timings2. Check your purchase to see if everything is there.

We loved the food and service!!! Fresh bread and baked goods!! We had their sourdough grilled cheese with the works, it was amazing!!! Always great when you have fresh potato salad and not just the grocery store type. Definitely will be back again!!!Vegetarian options: My son is vegetarian and he had a good amount of options which is fantastic.
