    It's great that we are having new coffee shops in Santa Maria, but there is room for improvement. The drink I got (Cookie butter shaken espresso) was alright. As someone who drinks coffee everyday, the coffee tasted very cheap. I could compare it to a gas station coffee or 7-11 coffee, but $7-8. They use a dark roast, which adds good flavor and makes it robust. The service was amazing, as the staff are helpful and give great recommendations. The location is a bit inconvenient if you're coming from Orcutt/South SM but overall it's close to the mall/SMHS. It felt super welcoming, and the late hours are convenient! I hope to be back and try something else!

    To be honest I haven't had such a bad burrito anywhere else! This is the worsts! There was a very thick crust had like wood so I just ate what I could off it. But I would give 5 for the coffee though. It has been only thing I would came there for anyway.

    I've been to 5-6 local spots since I've been in Santa Maria/ nipomo/ AG area. This has been the best drink wise! They also had good service and nice seating. WiFi was a plus.

    Really wanted to like this place since I loved my place, but it just does not compare. Very watered down drinks.

    Watered down, lacking flavor & overpriced for the quality which was a very disappointing experience

    Came here to try the ice cream and it did not disappoint!…read more First the place is very clean and new. The setup is simple and straight forward. The menu's easy to read and understand and the ice cream counter is easy to see and read all the flavors. Some traditional flavors as well as some wild ones to try. The Staff is friendly and quick to help you. I grabbed a 2 scoop cup with the limon(lime) and the Mango flavors. i wanted to get a water based and a cream based to try the difference. Neither flavor disappointed. The limon was vibrant and just delicious, exactly how I remember a traditional lime flavor being. The mango was also very tasty. The cream was actually light and the mango came through wonderfully. Overall the flavor was great! The reason for the 4 stars comes down to two things. The first is that the second scoop was not even a scoop and it was very small. The second is the pricing, to me the pricing is a bit high. Especially considering the second scoop size, just seems a little much for how much you're getting. If you're not worried about price and want a great quality ice cream, check them out.

    Great service and ambiance. Friendly service I usually get their chai latte which is delicious…read more Reasonable prices and decent hours.

    There's Potential - And Issues To Fix…read more..... I'm always on the lookout for an alternative to Starbuck's...so I tried the Simple Cafe when I had a couple of recent eye doctor appointments in Santa Maria. My experience in their location at the south end of town was bad while things farther north off Stowell were a bit better. - Overall: 2 1/2 (South: 1 1/2. Near Stowell: 3) - Location: 4 - Exterior: 3 (South: 4. Stowell: 2) - Ambiance: 3 (South: 4. Stowell: 2) - Menu: 3 - Food Quality: 2 1/2 (South: 1 1/2. Stowell: 3 1/2) - Service: 4 - Price and Value: 3 - Parking: 3 (South: 4. Stowell: 2) Pros: - Location: Convenient. If one location doesn't fit, maybe the other one does. - Exterior in south Santa Maria: Very new, contemporary and attractive. - Ambiance in south Santa Maria: Spacious and clean with lots of room, including a bank of TVs along one wall. Sports were playing during my visit. - Menu: About average. The usual drinks and pastries...plus some pre-made entrees. - Service: Friendly. In both places, I was met and served with a smile. - Price and Value: Reasonable. Decent prices - especially if drinks are done properly. - Parking: Lots outside the south Santa Maria location, but a bit tighter off Stowell since it's located at the end of a large medical office complex. Cons: - Exterior near Stowell: Functional. You could easily drive by if you didn't know it. - Ambiance near Stowell: Like an extremely quiet shop. Older. Much more low key than the southern location. - Food: Bad in south Santa Maria...okay farther north. In both places, I ordered the same hot drink and said "please make it extra hot with extra foam and 1/2 sweet". Down south, a young woman made it lukewarm with no foam and fully sweet. Up north, it was made by a middle aged guy who delivered it hot with decent foam and fully sweet. I noticed he didn't write anything on my cup...so unless a receipt was printed with the details he was going by memory. In both cases, I looked for a cookie, but choices were very limited. Off Stowell, I bought a packaged biscotti from "Nonna's". I was there at 2 PM. Simple Cafe has the potential to be a good alternative to other similar spots, but until they fix their flaws I'd stay away. My quest continues.
