Simon's Coffee House 5900 South Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34231

"This restaurant shows how it can be done. A role model for restaurateurs. Wholesome vegan dishes that taste really excellent. Terrific. The service was also very nice and friendly. We'll definitely be back. The vegan revolution."

"Loved the vibe of this cute coffee shop. I ordered coffee and a Greek omelet. Coffee was very tasty and the omelet was HUGE! Absolutely delicious omelet. The gluten free toast wasn't very warm and their butter cube was cold and hard. I'm a butter snob. I prefer soft butter which is easy to spread. The place was hopping, not overly packed, though. It was self-serve seating and it took a while for someone to come and great me to take my order. Prices are reasonable and the menu has a nice selection for breakfast and lunch. I'll be back!"

"Great place! Arrived about 1:30 and sat right down. Kinda a small hole in the wall place with awesome, healthy food and great service! Clean, quiet, and friendly. There are no big crowds here! Perfect. Don't tell the snowbirds about it! Let them go to Danny's! Lol! I've had their London and Santa Fe panini's, chicken salad sandwich, and a couple of different soups. I would recommend any of those items for sure!"

"Due to health concerns I was directed her for vegan options. They have many. Going with the Vegan Buddha this morning. Plenty of seating. Nice outdoor option. Waitress is quick and efficient. Will report more after the meal"

"I was so happy to find this great spot! This cozy restaurant has an amazing menu. There are not many places that not only have a large amount of vegetarian/vegan options as well as meat eater options that are both done exceptionally well. We started with fantastic coffee ( I am very picky about my coffee), which a large assortment of milks were provided. Every non-milk option as well as fat-free milk up to heavy cream. I had the Mediterranean tofu, it was cooked perfectly and the flavors were fresh and delicious. My table mate had an egg sandwich, and they couldn't have been more pleased with it. Also the portions were huge. In addition, the staff was friendly and attentive. In fact, we spoke to the owner as were were leaving as he was putting blankets at the outside tables, as it was a cool day, which we thought was incredibly incitful and considerate. He was very pleasant and obvious puts a lot of heart in his business and it showed. I will definitely return to this restaurant whenever I am in the area. I have since returned to this restaurant and the food and service was just as amazing as the first time. I highly recommend the Ruby, I don't even care for beets and this dish was a delicious. My mom had the Reuben and said it was one of the best she ever had. Definitely make sure you take the opportunity to go to this restaurant!"
