    I love this local, neighborhood gem! I have dined at Simon's several times in the past few months and I really enjoy the variety of options available as well as the specials they offer. There is also a plethora of vegan options and the owner/chef, Simon, who hails from a family of seasoned restauranteurs from England, is seemingly very health conscious and runs a local wellness group. They have locally brewed kombucha here, in house made smoothie conditions, and a daily or near daily changing menu of specials. I adore the vegan dishes here--but also love the other vegetarian options I have had. Whenever I go there is a usually a special that piques my intetest and I elect to try they limited time offering. One special I tired, the cottage lentil pie, was delicious and unlike anything I have had before. I also am a fan of their vegetarian breakfast offerings. The salad accompanying the meals are a great size and the soups are delicious. I am particularly found of the lentil vegetable one. Simon's is located in a row of stores right off U.S. 41/Tamiami Trail. I will continue to support this independent, locally owned business. Thanks, Simon!!!

    Italian Panini

    Something different Simon's is a little different than your usual breakfast/lunch place. When you look over the menu you see they are of course the place for coffee, but also offer vegan and vegetarian fare as well as egg dishes, sandwiches, and more. There are some limitations on how you can have your eggs prepared and they don't seem to offer griddle items, a little different. I had no problem finding something to eat, their Italian Panini. My concern they would not have many meat items was unfounded, they also cater to us carnivores. My panini included a nice stack of Genoa salami. The sandwich looked good and tasted even better. We did learn Simon's is under new ownership, Simon is no longer running the place. I didn't ask when that occurred, and I didn't think to ask if the menu had changed when we spoke to the new owner for a couple of minutes. He seems like a nice guy, joking around with us. The menu looks about as I remember it from years ago. Simon's used to be closed on Sundays, that changed when ownership changed. Good for us, we visited on a Sunday.

    Well, I had a very different experience today than I normally have at any given coffee shop. Today.. they were training someone on how to be a barista and it was very cool to watch. When you have a very busy coffee shop... it's hard to train someone "in process", but they did a very good job. Today? I was also able to put my two cents in on how to make a matcha latte... 1st - 1/4 teaspoon of matcha powder, matcha whisked Into 1/4 cup of hot water Then 2nd - heat up the oat milk ( not oat milk with vanilla ) with the espresso maker's frother/heater And then 3rd - pour the matcha & hot water mix into the cup that holds the hot oat milk and mix together Anyone else ? Agree or Disagree ?

    English breakfast sandwich add sausage
    Paige H.

    From the moment we walked in the staff greeted us warmly and there was no wait to be seated or order to go as we did. The food was fantastic and filling, I got the English breakfast sandwich and a vanilla latte and they were both fresh and very tasty. I love the fact that they are a plant based restaurant with the goal of progress not perfection, its intimidating to transition to being plant based and this place makes if attainable and fun with plenty of options and delicious food and fresh drinks.

    This place is really cute and They have so many options for people with all sorts of dietary restrictions. Something for everyone! They have desserts made with dates instead of sugar etc. Our waitress was really friendly and knowledgeable of what they offered which really helped. There's inside outside and bar seating. They also get the bread from the German bakery right next door which is called Mama G,s which I also recommend. Today I had a ginger snap latte and it really tasted just like a ginger snap. I also had the Big Ben skillet with Swiss cheese it was absolutely fabulous! They have a traditional English HP sauce which is very similar to A1 but a lot better in my opinion. I had no idea this place existed until today! What a fabulous find. Great for breakfast or lunch!

    The Jackie

    This was the best little gem and best food I had on my recent trip to Siesta Key. We had a mixed group of vegetarian, non dairy and plant based eaters and Simon's Coffee House delivered. The smells when you enter in are delicious. I ordered a vegan Jackie sandwich with vegan bacon on it. The vegan bacon was a little dry but everything else was delicious. It was very filling and I highly suggest adding potatoes! The raspberry unsweetened tea was really refreshing. Everyone loved all the food at the table. 10/10 experience!

    Lots of veggie/vegan options to enjoy on the patio!
    Lala C.

    Wow, what a find! A vegetarian and vegan oasis in Sarasota not too far from Costco . Take out options include prepared foods such as veggie burgers, veggie pie, vegan desserts in addition to the regular menu. Options include non vegan meals too and both include breakfast, lunch, coffee, snacks, oh my! I brought home the traditional veggie burger that was very tasty and fresh. The cottage lentil pie was filling and both good portion size. Pea soup, no meat, yay!, was delicious and bowl portion perfect! Only item that did not meet the same level was their kale tabbouleh which was more of a bland kale salad. Stems were tough and not chopped small enough. The price for a small size was too high.. $4 ++ Can't wait to return and enjoy another meal on their pup friendly patio.

    My 1st time @ this coffee shop today. My oat milk latte was great, nice ambiance, very friendly service. I got he Greek Omelet w/sourdough toast. I did enjoy it but feel it was on the basic side. Maybe if they chopped up the olives vs putting them whole in the omelet that would've helped. Would definitely go again though.

    Nice place. Great service. Food is very good. Why just 4 stars? I just wasn't wowed. Coffee was weak, I understand that's a personal preference but I need a good cup of coffee first thing in the morning. This did not deliver. English breakfast was fresh and nicely presented but lacked flavor. Not sure what was up with all that. My husband had similar experience. Would I go back? Yes. I'm willing to try something else.

    Dessert flight
    Kristy L.

    Delicious, nutritious and creative food for the Vegan appetite and meat eaters too. We went for dinner with friends and had a sampling of dishes. We tried the cerviche mushrooms, the bbq asparagus, vegan cheese plate plus a dessert flight of carrot cake, mousse, and chocolate cake. We sat outside and enjoyed a one man band who played Cuban music and even took my request. He has a following and people were dancing in the streets! Great fun and food. We even got to meet Simon himself who is passionate about his food!

    Outside seating with big cozy blankets already in place on this cooler day.

    Hey folks, you know what my love language is? FOOD. And this place speaks my language. Here from…read moreout of town and we came here 2 days in a row for lunch. First day, Caesar salad with bagel chip croutons, chicken and some Parmesan cheese. STELLAR. Who dreamed up bagel crisp croutons and where have they been all my life??? Great chicken. Perfectly dressed salad. Fresh lettuce. The next day I had a corned beef on rye. Oh my God!!!!!! Freshly baked bread, moist corned beef. Better than the last time I had one in NYC. Side salad was fresh greens that seemed like they were from the farmer's market. I am not sure who oversees the food here or dreams up the menu, but well done. Well done!

    Beautiful place. When you walk in it feels like you are going to have the most amazing meal ever…read more We both selected the PAM breakfast. One was ordered as is and it was rated 7 out of 10. OUCH The other PAM was modified and I rated this one the same. Another OUCH I wanted so much to love this place but when you're eating your meal and thinking my OJ at home is sooo much better than this one. I wonder how long this bacon has been sitting around because it's dry and tough? THAT's NOT GOOD. Food should taste fresh as though it was just made, FOR ME. This food was not. It lacked flavor was not very warm and again did not express freshness. Bagel was also just okay. No where near a New York Bagel. Overall for a restaurant to be memorable each individual item has to be the best. This results in a total amazing meal. This meal unfortunately was not amazing just Okay. What was good? Glad you asked. Coffee was warm & tasted good. Extra points for providing real cream on the side. Love that! It's a great touch! The cream cheese was excellent. Service was also good. I think this place has great potential but definitely needs a new chef with more upscale, fresh ideas.
