They have a wonderful vegan menu with a plethora of options. Breakfast, lunch, juices and even dessert, you will find a dish that will satisfy even the strictest of vegans!

Although this place is not exclusively vegan, they have some of the best vegan food I have had in a while and everything was very clearly marked. It was hard to decide what to order—so many options to choose from! We ended up ordering the Bollywood handheld and the Farmer skillet (with tofu scramble). Added the vegan cinnamon roll to the skillet plate for a small upcharge, and got the golden milk latte with oat milk. Everything was delicious! Beautiful food and lovely staff. I enjoyed the homemade hot sauce so much I purchased a bottle for home. I regret not taking more pics of the food but will share a pic of the cinnamon roll and latte. I am already looking forward to the next time!
Definitely recommend!

They had an amazing vegan menu with both breakfast and lunch! They had many baked goods and vegan specials. They also had some blankets outside for those who wanted to eat out there though it was a bit chilly.

11/2024 Simon’s son Tyler and his wife Maya have bought Simon’s and they have a new plant-based menu. Fabulous.

2024 We’ve been coming to Simon’s for many years, often 3-4 times a week. Love their food but recently a few of the waitresses have told me that the granola contains honey, despite being marked vegan on the menu. They have no plans to change the menu markings.
There have been other mixups as well with regular cheese vs. vegan cheese and whether specials are fully vegan. Most of the wait staff are terrific at knowing what’s what. Just ask questions.
Love the food, love the people, not a fan of having accidentally eaten honey.

Been going to Simon’s for years. Love that they have dairy free & gluten free selections. Amanda makes the BEST cinnamon rolls & sweet treats. I enjoy supporting our local small business restaurants!
Renee, Naomi and Candace were on today. The service epitomizes “service with a smile“. The food is always good as are the desserts. Jerry the proprietor is always quick with wise crack. I feel like Norm at cheers.

If I could give a rating of 10 I would. The food is very good quality, reasonably priced and our server Naomi was so kind, professional and really aimed to please us! She made our day! She was attentive to everyone including the youngest member of our party who enjoyed every bite and lick of his acai berry bowl! Thanks Naomi for sharing your beautiful smile and sweet disposition with us! Cheers!!!

Wonderful local spot with delicious food! Great selection of healthy items from desserts, smoothies, wraps and wine! Enjoyed a cup of Java and the Big Ben breakfast skillet. The Somoa cookies were delicious and paired perfectly with the coffee. Our server Renee was the best, taking care of us. Will be back!
If you like chai tea latte, it’s the place to go to! Made with real tea, not powder or syrup ?

Happy a friend suggested Simon's! Though I have lived in Sarasota for a long time, I hadn't heard of this wonderful coffeeshop/restaurant. Told they don't advertise beyond donating to schools and word of mouth. The vegan and vegetarian options were tasty and filling, the coffee excellent. Great service and a great atmosphere. Had an enjoyable breakfast and I'll spread the word of mouth for thus gem on the south Trail

Food and service are ok; really depends on what you order and who your server is (not consistent).
Prices are high for what you get. $12 for a parfait with about $2 worth of ingredients (factoring in the cost of organic/gluten-free). Either their operational costs are outrageous or they are making serious bank with these margins. The item prices don't make sense compared to each other either. An item with more protein, more nutrients, and more expensive ingredients can be a similar price to the PB&J. $9 for an 8-ish ounce strawberry drink? If you dropped your prices 20%, I would show up twice as often, and your total revenue would be higher. Just my 8¢ (marked up my 2¢ to match your pricing).
Nice place to pop in for a coffee + free refills, if you happen to be in the neighborhood already.
