Simple Simon's Bakery & Bistro

Simple Simon’s gets a solid 5 out of 5 in my book! From the vanilla latte to the bakery and breakfast omelets and croissants, everything is absolutely delicious. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu—everything I’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Parking is on the street and does require payment, but it’s worth it. The area also has a lot of charm, with nearby shops including a lovely antique store that’s fun to explore after your meal. I also had the princess cake and a fruit tart from the bakery—both were outstanding! No complaints at all. This is definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to

Great bakery in downtown Riverside . Came by and enjoyed a delicious breakfast croissant with their famous apple chicken sausage which tasted delicious. Potatoes on the side which were delicious. Also took home a very tasty sourdough loaf. I recommend this place if you want a good meal or just want to take home some bread and pastries. Their black coffee was brewer to perfection as well. Enjoy

Ordered the French toast and it did not disappoint! 🥞✨ It was absolutely delicious — sweet, fluffy, and full of flavor 😋. The service was great 🙌, the space was clean 🧼, and there was plenty of seating 🪑. It's in a great location 📍 and has a welcoming, family-friendly vibe 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. I’ll definitely be back! 🔁💛

First time visit(with update visit)and ordered the pastrami melt and Italian grinder. The pastrami sandwich was heavy and delicious while the Italian grinder was refreshing and filling. The pasta salad was a nice tangy side and the potato salad wasn't overwhelming in mustard like some potato salads are. The side of vinegarette was a nice touch to pour onto my Italian grinder. If you're looking for a nice lunch I recommend this little spot. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back and try other sandwiches. Came back after the anime convention and had the BLAAT with veggies. With some delicious baked goods! Just refreshing and good.

We enjoyed both strawberry and chocolate croissants. The strawberry croissant had a subtle, sweet cream that was perfect. 5 out of 5 and would visit again 🙂

The most delicious bakery and breakfast spot! We got there right when they opened so the line was pretty short, but by the time we left, it was getting busy. The prices are very reasonable and the service is fast and friendly. We will definitely be returning.

I love coming here when I visit Riverside for work! They have great food including one of the best chocolate croissants I have ever had. I would definitely pop in for breakfast or lunch if you are here.

The pastries are great, have a fun wide selection. But the omellete left lots to be desired. Mushroom omlette came without the sausage and took 25 minuets. After asking about the food. Cozy place, im sure they just dropped the ball on this one order though.
