Simply Paula's — Restaurant in Vandergrift

Brutally honest review:

Came in with my son to get him something on our way home from his Grandma's and everything was a mess. Could hear yelling and screaming from the kitchen, the person checking me out glared at me like she didn't want me there, ten people were packed in like sardines behind me, it was miserable. The donuts we got tasted like they were probably frozen instead of fresh, and the carrot cake was probably not made in-house either. There was some person's custom order sitting on the counter in front of the coffee maker and there were just no prices anywhere! Luckily an employee on her break (God bless her) was sitting up front greeting people and telling us prices and what the shop had or I would've left right there. Finally after I actually knew the prices, I got two donuts and a slice of cake for a little over 5$, which is super cheap and affordable but also makes me wonder about the food's quality.

All in all:

Bad business practices, mediocre food, I won't be going back. If my son wants sweets, I'll just take him to Giant Eagle five...

We go here atleast once a week with the kids. My son always goes for a cookie, my daughter a donut and us adults love their cinnamon rolls. The donuts are so so good and very clearly made fresh daily. They also offer free huggie drinks for the kids, with a purchase which my kids seem to enjoy a lot. We don’t usually have any issues with parking, we may have to park a few spots away from the door but it isn’t that big of a deal to us. Overall I highly recommend you...

Simply Paula’s is a great local spot. I’ve had their ham salad spread a few times and really liked it. I usually get it with their fresh bread, which is soft and holds up well. Everything I’ve had has been fresh and well made. The place is clean, the staff is welcoming, and it always feels relaxed inside. I haven’t tried the cinnamon rolls or donuts yet, but they’re popular with other customers. It’s a good place to stop by if you’re in the area and want...
