Drove here all the way from St Pete after going for my COVID vaccine to try it out and it fell short. Coffee. Weak AF. They have plant based milk options which is great. I ordered an extra shot of espresso in my cappuccino and it was still weak! No Bueno. Food. I ordered the breakfast Buddah bowl and it was average. Very little tofu which is why I'm bummed. Maybe they were running out of tofu by the time I ordered breakfast at 1pm. Lol. They do serve breakfast all day so that's a nice feature. Atmosphere. Lovely inside, lots of tables with a cross between a Cafe and coffee shop vibe. Thankfully they also have several outdoor tables along the sidewalk. read more

Wow is all I gave to say! The staff is incredibly nice, and I was greeted and assisted by multiple wait staff. Tons of gluten-free options. I chose a simple breakfast and it was fantastic. Will definitely be back again. read more

This is my second trip to Simons and both times I have been very impressed. For lunch I ordered the Enchiladas special item which was delicious. It had a pleasant mixture of flavors on each level and the sauce on top was delicious. I wish they would add more of the sauce because the bottom is quite dense without it. I also had the green and tonic shake and a chocolate chip peanut butter cookie. Both of which were so tasty. The cookie is made for sharing, so don't be surprised if need a box to go. read more

Simon's Coffee House - Enchiladas - Delis Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I've been a loyal lunch customer of Simon's for several years. The food selection is varied and a number of specials are offered each day. I happen to favor healthier dining choices and I've come to rely on Simon's to serve excellent vegan and other healthy selections. Service provided by the servers is top notch - servers are helpful, efficient and friendly. Seating is available at tables, indoor and out, and at a counter. The ambiance is appropriately casual. read more

I ordered the Vegan Bollywood, which is a beet burger on lavish, with cashew cheese and Indian pickle dressing, which I asked for on the side. Happily, it was a fabulous dressing with no resemblance to pickles that I thought I was getting. It came with a wonderful black bean soup. All of it was scrumptious, and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The service was great as well. I chose to sit outside even though it was hot out and was kept comfortable by the many fans. What a wonderful alternative to all the fried and fast food joints. read more

We went last night for the first time, as our favorite local musical trio, Hot Club SRQ, was performing there. We live about 2 hours away but it was worth the drive. We LOVED the food and service. They have a menu of tapas. We got 3 different tapas and split them. Just absolutely delicious and so creative. So happy that they have some plant based tapas since I am vegan. My husband isn't vegan and loved their red fish. Service was outstanding too (our server was Maya). We will be returning! read more

Amazing light and fluffy quiche. Great service and very cool space. Next time I'll be trying some of the yummy looking baked goods.

This is a MUST for anyone in Siesta Key. I can't say anything bad about it, besides it being so far from home for me. :) The owners are a friendly British couple with an incredibly courteous serving staff. One of the owners greeted us immediately upon arriving and seated us. While there is plenty of seating, this place was packed. It appears as if they've been there for a long time and have also taken up 3 storefronts in the plaza, and are located right next to a large bakery, which may be where they get their breads from? (I may need to be fact-checked on this as I'm making a few assumptions...lol). I ordered the green tea with lemon and my boyfriend had the caramel latte with a bit of cocoa powder on top. Both were so delicious! Our server was Jodi, who was incredibly sweet and courteous. Loved her! For lunch I had a very difficult decision (which is always a good sign of a well thought-out menu in my opinion). I narrowed it down to the London panini and Roast Beef panini which happened to be Jodi's favorites. I ended up going with the London which BLEW MY MIND. Holy panini. I've never had a roast beef sandwich or a sandwich with horseradish sauce...as I honestly don't care for either. But I'm always curious when an item is listed first on the menu. ;-) For dessert, we were quickly swooned into ordering the chocolate peanut butter cookie. If I were to truly describe how amazing this was, there would be too much profanity in this review. Just know you can't leave without trying this. ;-) We will absolutely be back to this gem, as Siesta Key is our favorite local vacationing spot. read more

I've eaten many things on the menu and everything has been excellent tasting. They have considered the food options very carefully and accommodate people's dietary needs. The service is spot on. Before, during and after lunch, the place is packed with return customers and the servers are very friendly. If you're looking for the best breakfast/lunch place...don't look any further...this is the place to go. Jerry and Jill, the owners, have also accommodated a private party in their dining room for us after hours and did a wonderful job with that too. read more

I ordered the vegan Buddha and it was soooo good and filling! It's been a little hard to find vegan options where my non vegan friends would also want to eat but this place was awesome! I even forgot my keys in the bathroom and the staff had it held for me and were messaging people on Facebook trying to return it to me Great staff and great food!!! read more

My wife and I strongly recommend Simon's (Sarasota, FL). The food was excellent, the prices were reasonable for lunch, and the portions were large enough for two people to share. read more

Service is abysmal!! Waited over 45 minutes for our food. One thing after another was wrong. Waited forever to pay. Food is very good. Surprisingly good for how very terrible the service is here. Management needs to address this issue. We were even going to take a few cookies to go and they brought us the wrong number. Only the second time in my life I've never left a tip. And I'm usually at 20 to 30% tipper. read more

Delightful outdoor seating, given the pandemics still ongoing. Excellent waitperson. Cool new menu since with were last here with lots of vegan things. The vegan shepherd's pie was excellent. The carmel apple french toast was terrible, extremely sweet--moreso than anything I've ordered in 50 years, and the bread was so dense it was inedible, almost plasticized. Both of us felt very let down by the latter. read more

I was visiting Sarasota in the days leading up to Irma and this was my last breakfast stop before I had to head out. I really enjoy this healthy and vegetarian friendly restaurant with a cozy laid back atmosphere. They have a variety of options and I had the fresh juice and a turmeric ginger shot. I love the fresh veggies scrambled with potatoes that I had, and my parents got bacon and eggs (a trusted favorite) and my friend had the gluten free muffin. They have so many good drinks like!Kombucha and a variety of teas and fresh juices and smoothies. It's a great place to stop and have some good fresh health food. It is a great place to chat with a friend, the atmosphere is quiet and relaxed. I can't wait to go back to visit again read more

Covid Review! I have always loved Simon' for an amazing lunch! However on a recent trip I only felt safe to eat outside. The tables inside were very close together and I didn't see anyone with a mask on except employees. The Krishna sandwich was excellent, but they changed the type of bread it is served on to a thin pita like wrap. Service was great. Would be a 4 or 5 star if they were doing better at social distancing. read more

This is straight-up my favorite brunch place in Sarasota. I love that they always have an array of delicious, house-made soups to pair with sandwiches. Breakfast items are inventive and tasty. Also, they have probably the best, most-expansive vegetarian/vegan menu in town. The staff are uniformly attentive and friendly, especially Jody at the bar. Simon himself is a warm presence and influence. The location, way south on the Trail, is easily missed, but it's worth the trip. read more

Great food and service! No complaints here. Everything was quick and tasted great. The English sandwich was amazing! read more

Emily and I came to Simon's in search of a quick cup of good coffee (for me) and breakfast (for her) and we definitely found that and more. In a good way! This place scanned like a diner when we walked in and sat down but we quickly started noticing how strange the menu was. There is a raw vegan section, there are British elements bangers n mash), there are an inordinate amount of soups, and there were combinations of things that just shouldn't work but totally do somehow. We had a really good OJ, berry, banana and PB smoothie l, plus a beet loaf & sauerkraut panini and a delicious sweet and watery (?!) carrot ginger soup. Everything was delicious and the coffee was even strong, which isn't something I'd expect from a diner. This friendly spot ended up really doing the trick. We'll be back one day, I hope. come back read more

The restaurant is very accommodating for people with celiac disease. They even have a separate toaster for gluten free bread, with TWO options to choose from. Plant life all around to enjoy the view while you work on your delicious food and drinks. read more

This place is a tucked away little gem. I wanted to order everything on the menu, but didn't. My veggie skillet was served with delicious homemade toast from the bakery next door. My only wish was that they make their own jelly. Putting smuckers on that delicious bread doesn't cut it. read more

F%CKING LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! :) Thank you for a wonderful experience. the end. First time dined here. Heard so many great things about this place so I brought my mother. Got the chance to meet Simon and was taken care of the beautiful and well informed staff. Even though, they were busy, Simon still came over to our table to have a chat with us. Drinks 5/5. We ordered a shot of wheatgrass (yummy), hot green tea, and Mount Fuji Matcha Green Tea with Lemon zest. Meal 5/5. We came in right after breakfast ended and decided to try their panini and soup. We ordered the $9.95 deal that includes 1/2 a panini with choice of soup. My mother had the London panini (roast beef with horseradish and cheese) with greens (spinach, kale, parsley) soup. I had the Santa Fe (Turkey & bacon with cheese) with red lentil soup. If I could, I would come here every morning and try everything on their menu (that includes dessert!) Tip #1 (for first timers): As soon as you walk in, make sure to either sign yourself in or place your name with the host/hostess. Tip #2: Expect rudeness from other customers (most likely because they are hungry and waiting too). But after you are seated and eat your food, you will forget about all that rudeness. If you are in a hurry, there is a take out line. Tip #3: Bar seating is almost always available while other seating areas require a wait time. Tip 4#: Outdoor seating available. Did not see any pets or smoking signs though. Tip 5#: DO NOT LEAVE until you have tried their dessert (especially the strawberry cheesecake granola)! Tip 6#: They have vegan items! You just need to look for them or ask! Tip 7#: Their panini meats come from Boar's Head so it isn't organic but it's still delicious too. read more

Great food. Very friendly! The owner helped us make decisions on what to eat. I would recommend!

This place popped up for breakfast selections in my Yelp Sarasota beach area, and we took our family here to enjoy a healthy breakfast. If you're on vacation mode, you know how it goes...any dieting or regular eating is out the door. So it was a nice change to find a place that offered healthy selections. The decor is very bright and vivid, they have cute and funky chairs with the coffee logo. On a Friday morning around 10am, the place is pretty mellow. The regulars get their usual hi and greeting...it's nice to see establishments welcome their customers. Everyone got a round of coffees to start our meals. My father in law who loves a hearty breakfast was a little disappointed from the "healthy" breakfast selections...he doesn't believe in dieting. There's always one in the group!! However, the rest of us found great items to order. I got the savory breakfast crepe, my husband ordered the Paris breakfast sandwich with croissant, and it had an egg, ham, sliced apples and brie cheese. My crepe had a light dill cream sauce that was garnished on my crepe. Light and balanced would be the best way to describe my meal, and the hubby enjoyed his sandwich. The croissant was a little bit tinier in size than I thought, but a good portion for breakfast. We also ordered the pomegrante-cranberries bran muffins which were my favorite thing...not too sweet and something I see myself making at home as well. Great way to sneak in fiber and not too sweet either. Overall, we had a good breakfast at Simon's Coffee House. If you're looking for something "healthy" then this is the spot. The lunch menu had great sandwich selections. Simon's definitely must be cooking all day long for breakfast, lunch and dinner. ;-) read more

I love eating here, I travel a lot for work and when I am home it is one of the first places I want to eat!

I love this place ... think of a super friendly diner, but with food so elevated, you'd drive an hour out of your way to visit. Plenty of delicious vegetarian and vegan options available for both breakfast and lunch ... the staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and able to offer great recommendations. The daily menu has plenty to choose from - generous fresh and creative salads, wraps, paninis, etc., but the specials board is really the way to go ... only eat half (take the rest home), so you have room for dessert and excellent coffee. Pictured: today's specials, sweet potato lasagna & an almond/shortbread dessert ... scrumptious read more

Simon's coffee house is a real jem. There are so many good things I don't know where to start. To be brief, real food that tastes great and an awesome staff led by the owner Simon himself. A friendly smile and smile is how you will be greeted. This sets the bar high and the food is excellent. But caution to the fast food junkies you may not be impressed, but for the rest of you good choices for carnivores, vegetarians and my favorite the 'flexitarian." So go to Simons, it is one of the best spots in Sarasota. Closed Sunday. read more

Simon's Coffee House - Delicious lunch special today at Simons coffee house - Delis Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

My family had lunch here for the first and last time last Saturday. My son ordered a Sprite which they do not have (that's ok!) and the server offered a yummy lemonade with apple juice substitute and my son agreed. I feel that if you're going to offer a child a $7 specialty drink, you should ask/mention the price that to the parents. Our server (Naomi) was apparently also working the juice and coffee bar because that is where she spent all of her time. We waited an extended amount of time for our drinks, then again for our food to arrive. We made the mistake of ordering and waiting for 10+ minutes for a gluten free brownie after lunch and then waited a long time just to receive the bill. We watched all of the tables around us receive prompt service, so I think our experience was the exception. Now, for the food; we came to Simon's because the availability of gluten-free options for me. I have to eat gluten free for medical reasons. I know that cross contamination is real and that it's likely going to happen which will cause a little GI upset for me. However, I definitely was served gluten at Simon's from the violent illness that followed after eating here!! I had the chicken salad on gluten free bread with creamy cauliflower soup. I even asked to have the server double check the soup and was ensured it was gluten free before ordering it. Then my family shared the gluten free brownie. All of the food was tasty which makes it even more disappointing that I got so sick and will not eat here again. read more

WOW!!! THE WORST SERVICE I HAVE EXPERIENCED MAYBE EVER! My party and I waited for over 25 just to order our food today. Staff was very slow and people that came in after us were ordering and getting their food. I had no choice but to flag down the nearest waitress. I said excuse me loud enough to make sure she heard me. She turned, blankly stared at me for several seconds and then rudely asked if she could put down her dishes first. This waitress had on glasses and several arm tattoos. I just wanted my food after waiting for an hour! What a shame because food was good. Had to get it to go so I wouldn't be late going back to work. read more

I was recommended this place by a local who said it was the best food in Siesta. It's a small local dinner and man was everything good. They have a vegan healthy flair to there food but don't be scared off if you need protein in your diet. I had a great tuna salad and a hunk o bread as they say. I added avocado and dove in. It was a perfect lunch! Sat on the patio. Plenty of space and masks Felt safe. Now for the real deal. I ordered the fresh baked peach pie I saw in the glass case. And it was amazing! The heated it up and put a vanilla glaze with fresh berries and whipped cream! Literally not a morsel left on my plate when I was done! I was so happy I can alone! I didn't have to share it with anyone! Sorry honey you know I miss you! read more
