Known primarily for its artisan bakery, Simple Simon’s has quietly built a following for its small-batch, house-made ice creams, especially during the warmer months. Featured in the Riverside Downtown Partnership’s culinary roundups, the bistro emphasizes fresh, local ingredients and creative seasonal flavors—think roasted fig or honey lavender. With its historic location across from the Mission Inn and a bustling patio, Simple Simon’s delivers a distinctly Riverside experience that pairs perfectly with a scoop (or two).
