This is a very good place. I met a friend for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We ordered two sandwiches, an iced latte, a scone and a bottle of water. Total cost was $40. The sandwiches were very good. I had the turkey and avocado on sourdough. It was fresh and very tasty. I gather from the speed with which my friend ate his that it was equally good. The size wasn't huge but reasonable. My friend's coffee was very good. The scone was amazing, albeit not traditional. For one, the shape is not the traditional triangle. Instead, it resembled a biscuit. The texture was dense and toothsome, not light like many scones. In fact, I would almost consider this something altogether different than a scone. A baked good form all it's own. If you're expecting the traditional scone you may be disappointed, but if you approach it for what it is you won't be. I loved it. In fact, I liked it so much I took three more home with me too freeze and enjoy later (not included in the price above).The service was exceptional. Fast, friendly, but not artificially chummy, and professional. They got hit the right note. And the place was comfortable, attractive and not at all crowded, although they were doing a brisk business. All in all, highly recommend.Bon appetit!
It seems the barista is skillful. Still, the coffee used is too roasted (like french roast).
Simon's makes some seriously good coffee, especially if you like it strong and black! Every variety has nuanced flavors, it is brewed well and never burnt. Don't skip the maple scones, either.
no gluten free products!
I think Simon’s Coffee is my favorite coffee shop on planet Earth. My girlfriend Raji loves the place, too!! We’ve been going to Simon’s for many years. I believe I’ve been a patron since 2010. Simon’s has some of the finest coffee you’ll find and the baristas truly know how to pour an espresso, so you won’t be disappointed. The staff is always welcoming and we’ve seen the staff come and go over the years. And owner Simon is absolute delightful !! Simon is an expert in selecting great coffee. So you won’t have to worry about the coffee beans being roasted too much to the point of being burnt, sour, and bitter. The food is also definitely wholesome, fresh, and satisfying.
Great food, great prices and pretty nice people attending. Try the Turkey Avocado sandwich, it's so good!
Very cozy place, excellent service and great attitude. Ideal to spend a pleasant moment alone, with friends or as a couple ?
The coffee was good but the size was super small. I put it next to a couple of other ‘regular’ size coffees including Starbucks for easy reference. It seems to be a new trend where you still pay under $4 per coffee but now you’re just getting half the size.
They leave the store door open and so the it gets pretty cold inside, to the point that’s it becomes no fun to sit down and enjoy your cup of coffee. And the coffee is just ok, nothing special.
I was spending the weekend at Cambridge and stumbled upon this place and let me tell you, the coffee was just delicious and the food was great too. We had egg+cheese sandwiches and they were great. If you happen to be around the area do yourself a favor and come by to get something. Also the vibe of the place is great!
