"Cali Chicken Press" for brunch

I had the Cali Chicken Panini and was overall very satisfied. The best part was probably the bread, you get a choice between white, wheat, sourdough, or focaccia. I got the focaccia which was very soft inside and perfectly grilled on...

I have been searching for a good panini place for almost 2 years now. This is the one. I got the Turkey bacon pressed panini on focaccia and an iced mocha. BOTH were delicious. Service was fast and I appreciate the cute seating outside! Definitely stop by if you're in the area, or if you just want a good panini! :)

I stumbled upon this place as I was trying to find somewhere different to eat but I am glad I ended up here. The food was good, the staff were friendly, and my order was ready quickly. There are a couple seats at the window counter and there are several tables outside. I had a breakfast sandwich on sourdough, but they had several options for bread.

Simply Panini makes mouthwatering paninis and a pretty darn decent iced coffee if you ask me. I've been there once before years ago when I was in the area after someone recommended them to me but I mostly just get my food delivered from them through Uber eats since I don't really go into downtown Tacoma anymore. Normally I get the breakfast sandwiches which have always been great but switched it up recently and tried a couple of their lunch menu items. If you like your sandwiches with a little bit of a kick, I highly recommend the jalapeño grilled cheese ! The gyro press panini is also very good, the flavor you'd expect from a classic gyro sandwich but instead of a pita it's on your choice of their bread. I went with wheat for the gyro and sourdough for the grilled cheese. The coffee can be a little too strong for me at times but it's normally good. I like the iced mochas and lattes with non fat milk and coconut flavor added. They have a variety of different milks and flavors you can add to the coffee drinks if you wish to. Overall, it's a great place to check out for breakfast or lunch.

i absolutely fucking love this place. HIGHLY recommended. it's always flavorful and at a very decent price!

Really enjoyed my first trip to this spot! It's in a convenient spot off commerce for a lot of the businesses there. The shop is pretty small with only six or so bar type seats available, there are outdoor tables but it's was a bit too cold for that today. I had the Cali Chicken Panini and was overall very satisfied. The best part was probably the bread, you get a choice between white, wheat, sourdough, or focaccia. I got the focaccia which was very soft inside and perfectly grilled on the outside. Veggies were fresh and loved that they used red onion! The only downside was that it was a bit messy with the liquid from the tomato as well as the sauce which was only okay. Still a good sandwich and they had plenty of other options that I'll be back to try. Prices were about average for the area, maybe slightly less at 11 for the Panini.

Nice little Mom & Pop store in downtown Tacoma. Location was clean, service was fast, and Berry Salad was yummy. I thought it was a good serving size for the amount paid. Close to where I was staying. Would stop by again if ever in town.

So glad Yelp recommended Simply Panini while searching for a Vanilla Latte. The latte is nice and caramely and extremely easy on the pallet as the roast is much smoother than most blends you find at places like Starbucks. I also tried the Little Italy Panini. It is very flavorful and the sourdough bread is nice and light. read more

Unfortunately, can't say that I enjoyed my food. I ordered to-go because Simply Panini seats about four, comfortably. I got the turkey and bacon press, the Cali chicken press on wheat and the chicken with wild rice soup. The chicken was better than the turkey but the taste of the overall sandwich was not very appealing, I think there was too much onion and avocado but not enough sauce. Bread was pretty burnt too. The meat itself had no flavor. It satisfied my hunger though, hence the three stars. I probably wouldn't come back, but I'm not upset that I tried it. They get busy at lunch time, but still serve in a pretty timely manor. read more

Small and tucked away it can be hard to find. Only a couple of stools with a narrow shelf along the window for seating so be prepared to order and go. Menu is fairly limited, but has a nice breadth of great options. I had the pesto chicken and only ate half of it despite it being so good. It didn't travel well however so I missed out on finishing it. Worth a stop in if your looking for lunch of a different sort. Apparently the owners have another similar place a block north that has more seating. read more

This little placed is tucked in a corner in Tacoma and I'm glad I found it. Its a cute little small "cafe" is what I would call it. I had a veggie breakfast sandwich with mushrooms, eggs, spinach, feta, and mayo. It was good!! If I worked and lived in this area I would probably come here twice a week but I don't so this one time was good for me.

Sandwiches were great and while the guy we talked to was super friendly and cheery, the guy who actually made our sandwiches seemed annoyed that we had come in and he had to work. The sandwiches turned out great and were actually a little too filling. I got the turkey bacon sandwich (or something close to that) on wheat bread along with probably the biggest white macadamia nut cookie I've ever seen. I'm serious, it was probably a good 9 inches across. Since I don't live or work in Tacoma, or Washington, I won't be going back. But I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a sandwich but is over the Subway/Quizno's/Sub Shop places. read more

Not great, not terrible. The consistency with products is off, the paninis have been ok.The subs are pretty good, but have them use dijon sparingly unless it's all you like to taste. Tomato basil is good but needs pepper added, the chicken noodle is terrible. So with their pricing and never knowing what I'm going to end up with, I find myself going to Subway instead. read more

I'm never in this area but if I am at lunch time I would love to come back and get a panini. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because there is very limited seating.

A few days later, I made plans to visit on Saturday, which happened to be one of the two days this year that it snowed in the Pirec. It was quite amusing with the parking and the snow that stuck everywhere. As soon as I walked in, the bar was buzzing with energy. It had a great vibe. I didn't think I'd get any seats, but I managed to snag one at the bar with a very friendly person. I spent all but about 3 to 4 hours there.

It consists of a field roast loaf, Chao vegan cheese, herbed vegan mayonnaise, tomato, red onion, and arugula on sourdough bread. I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, even if it's vegan, so I swapped it out with some pesto-style creamy cheese, and it turned out even better than I expected. The sandwich was a perfect five out of five. I would definitely order it every time I come. It came with a side of chips, which was a great addition. The sandwich was massive, so I could only eat half of it. I took the other half home for the next day. For my beers, I'm a big stout-and-porter guy, so I went with the Fort George's. They had two options: the Salted Caramel Cavatica & Matryoshka Vanilla. Both were exceptionally flavorful and probably my favorite porters I've had in all of Washington and many other states. Unfortunately, they ran out of the Salted Caramel Cavatica, so I ended up drinking the Matryoshka Vanilla for the rest of the night and didn't mind at all. Overall, I had a fantastic time at this place. I'm definitely going to make it a regular stop in my monthly rotations around Tacoma. Highly recommend stopping by this place. It's definitely a five. Service is amazing, and the drinks are worth the trip. They have an array of options, which is what I love about this place. Until next time!

I'm a creature of habit with the 6th Ave Strut and Ragin Cajun, but honestly, you can't go wrong; my friends all have different favorites and rave about them every time. Dining in is the best experience, but they've seriously leveled up their takeout game. They swapped the old foil wraps (which led to soggy buns) for specialized takeout carriers, so the quality holds up perfectly even if you're eating on the go. Parking can be a bit of a gamble depending on when you show up, but it is 100% worth the effort. Whether you're here for the food or the drinks, you're guaranteed to find something you love.

You seat yourself and there is ample seating depending on if you want to watch a TV or people watch along 6th. I kept it basic with the Red Hot dog and then tried something new with the Hound dog. I didn't have any sides. They were both good dogs. For me it was a little too much peanut butter on the hound dog. I don't drink beer but they have a large selection if that is your thing.

Wasn't feeling great about my decision after we had already ordered. The apple salad was very fishy. A little fish sauce goes a long way. It wasn't delicious. The shaken beef was okay, not great.

YESSS!! This is THE place for Vietnamese food! They are indeed authentic!…read more I have been missing the smell and taste of staple Vietnamese dishes ever since I moved out of California a few months ago. I used to receive Mom's vietnamese home cooking frequently and I lived near the Asian hubbubs with easy access to all the cuisine, but now I have to discover new places here in Washington to satiate my taste buds. Everything I've tried so far has been good. I've been content. But here!! I ordered takeout through Doordash, and as soon as I picked up my food, an aroma of so many flavors filled up my car. Parking is kinda annoying since it's on the street but I arrived within 30 mins of opening hours so it wasn't terrible yet. The restaurant already had at least a table or so, with customers, so I wouldn't be surprised if it got busier later. There's a fair amount of space and tables for hungry stomachs! The food was about ready by the time I arrived, and the 30 min drive home left me feeling famished and ready to dig in. Thankfully, I was not disappointed. Everything was packaged well so that nothing spilled during the car ride, and everything was so yummy! I ordered more than I originally intended... I was craving com tam (broken rice) and couldn't find a satisfactory place near my residence, so I drove all the way here to Tacoma.. and then I figured, I might as well order their Banh Xeo too! The photos online made it look so good, and it ended up tasting amazing! Slightly crispy and stuffed just enough with bean sprouts, meat, and other goodies. Perfect after drizzling some of the sauce over it. The Com Tam was also made well, and definitely hit my cravings with its classic ingredients. I ordered a Large Pho Bo Vien (meatball) for my son, and was sooo tempted to eat some myself. The broth smelled fresh and the noodles were cooked nicely. Decent portions for everything, too. I definitely need to return to try out more of their food. So far, it has made me one happy Viet gal :)

We got a dirty chai and hot chocolate for drinks- hot chocolate was pretty but nothing special about it (spoiled by our hot chocolate at cadoon which had a hint of caramel and licorice which was crazy good and we are not even licorice fans!). I digress. The dirty chai was unique though and tasty. The stars for us was the food! We got the huevos rancheros and the savory egg sandwich. Both were delicious! Best HR we've ever had probably due to the crema and red sauce. Egg sandwich had unique flavors with the onion jam and the toasted roll was so perfect with the egg and arugula. Very well balanced. I usually never eat all the bread bc not worth the carbs but couldn't resist finishing this masterpiece. All the pastries were very good too! Just needed an option to warm up the orange cardamom morning bun to make it warm and crispy but the flavors were amazing. Also loved the brown butter blueberry muffin. Only disappointment was the ube ginger muffin wasnt fully cooked - tasted great for the parts that were. Wish we had one near us on east coast!

We got to watch a bit of the World Cup and chat with the barkeep, who was really friendly. The restaurant was clean, the music wasn't too loud, and the staff were attentive. We had a good experience and will definitely come back!
