Simple Coffee: although I do understand the naming scheme; it doesn’t do this place any justice. This café is definitely simple and cozy but it’s also very homey and inviting.

Jason, the owner, represents the absolute epitome of hospitality. He is friendly, funny, charming, polite, goofy, and, most importantly, always going above and beyond to serve. He treats his patrons like family, remembers everyone’s names, and is always smiling.

It might just be a “simple coffee” spot but it’s my favourite one in town. Maybe it should be renamed to “Favourite Coffee” —...

Just had a nice visit to Simple Coffee and wanted to share my thoughts! I tried the Vanilla Iced Coffee, and it had a really good flavor—just the right amount of vanilla without being too sweet. The Blueberry Scone was tasty, though a little on the sweeter side for my taste. The sundried tomato and mozzarella Danish was the highlight for me; it had a perfectly flaky crust, and the sundried tomato flavor was clear and delicious.
