Simple Simon’s is a true downtown Riverside staple. I’ve been a few times now and it’s always consistent.
This last visit I went with the Italian grinder and their pasta salad. The sandwich was solid, packed with flavor and exactly what you want from a classic deli spot. But what surprised me was the pasta salad. The texture of the pasta was just right, the sauce and seasoning were balanced, and even the temperature was spot on. I rarely rave about something as simple as pasta salad, but this one deserves it.
If you’re in downtown Riverside and want a dependable sandwich shop that delivers every time, this is definitely a must try.

Ordered: 2 eggs with ham and sourdough & Triple berry challah French Toast.
You know a place is good when there is a line before they open. The food was delicious, great portions and so flavorful. The French Toast just melts in your mouth. Surprising the toasted sourdough was yummy. We didn’t get to order any breads and pastries, so we’ll definitely come back.
Update: next day we were in the area and went back for lunch. We ordered 5 sandwiches and they forgot to make 2 of our sandwiches. Upsetting because 1st we were starving and 2nd watching everyone get served their lunch and still waiting.
Waved someone down and they said it would be right out. Waited more had to flag down a staff member again, they only brought one and tried to take our table number away and we were like, “wait! We’re still missing one sandwich.” Ugh!

I spent the day in downtown and my chat gpt recommended this bakery for brunch. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it in time for the breakfast menu (ends at 11am) as intended, but wanted to try it regardless based on the reviews. When we walked in, we must have looked confused because there was a young man sweeping the floor that was very specific about where we need to stand in line, as he pointed with his broom to mark the spot. A bit odd! It’s somewhat of a small location and it wasn’t as clean as we hoped it would be. It wasn’t too hectic behind the counter, yet nobody really took the time to acknowledged us. We ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and the Cobb salad – both were underwhelming. It took quite sometimes for the order to come out and it was just … okay. Portions are a little small for the pricing. The salad had an excess of ingredients, straying away from a classic Cobb, so it didn’t really have the taste I was expecting. Glad we tried it, but not sure I would recommend.

The food was delicious and very fresh! The portions were great and a really good price. We had the chocolate ganache croissant, roast beef sandwich with fresh fruit, chicken tarragon salad sandwich with pasta salad, and a fruit tart. The staff were sweet, friendly, and very accommodating!

Delicious breakfast at Simple Simon’s Bakery & Bistro in downtown Riverside! We were really impressed with the food, loved how the winter omelet has the apple, pecans, and grilled onions, was a unique combination not often seen. The breakfast croissant club was also great, the sausage in it tasted so fresh and yummy. We enjoyed the bear claw, as well as the iced mocha and iced chai tea latte. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Dog friendly outdoor seating. Recommend!

I had breakfast at Simple Simon’s and it was great! The food was delicious and served fresh. I sat outside on the patio, which was nice, although a few homeless people came by and ate leftover food from tables — it made the experience a bit uncomfortable. On the positive side, there was someone singing Spanish music, and it really added a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Overall, a good breakfast spot with tasty food and pleasant vibes.

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

First time here and I was not disappointed. I got here in the morning just before rush hour. The croissant egg sandwich so good. Will definitely be back.

Simple Simon’s Bakery & Bistro is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warm aroma of freshly baked bread and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Every pastry in the display case looks (and tastes!) like it was made with love and attention to detail.
The sandwiches are incredible fresh ingredients, perfectly baked bread, and generous portions that leave you satisfied but still dreaming about your next visit. Their desserts are the real standout though. Whether it’s a flaky croissant, a rich slice of cake, or one of their signature cookies, everything is consistently delicious.
The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about making your experience special. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed breakfast, a casual lunch, or just coffee and a treat.
If you haven’t been to Simple Simon’s Bakery & Bistro yet, you’re missing out. Five stars all the way!
