Simple Pleasures Cafe: A Hidden Gem Offering Fresh Bagels, Coffees, and Relaxing Atmosphere

First time visiting and this is a great local spot. I would give the latte and the overall vibe of the cafe a 5, but the croissant a 3 (personal preference). The croissant was very large but not as flaky as I tend to like them. I think in the future I might try them for lunch, since they had beers and other drinks on tap that would make a pleasant afternoon.

I'm so obsessed with simple pleasures best bagel in the city!!!!!! Literally so good their bagel is so crunchy they have so many veggies their hummus is delish and they wrap it so cute. The staff are always so friendly and it's in a beautiful spot in sf i came here two days in a row from across the city because it's literally that good WOOOO also so affordable

An Outer Richmond gem, Simple Pleasures has been a mainstay since 1978, offering coffee, sandwiches, bagels and pastries. We ordered drinks and a sun-dried tomato pesto cream cheese bagel, which was delicious! Prices are very affordable and there are many regulars in the crowd of customers! It's a small bustling warm and friendly spot worth stopping by if you're in the hood.

I recently visited this charming cafe and I have to say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and homely atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The decor is cozy and inviting. Now, let's talk about the food--absolutely fantastic! The bagels were fresh, chewy, and had that perfect crust, and toppings to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for something savory or sweet, they've got you covered. The coffee was top-notch, rich, and perfectly brewed. For those looking to unwind, their selection of alcoholic beverages were equally great options too and a great selection of wines and beers. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. I would definitely come back and recommend this spot to anyone looking for a place with great food, drinks, and an atmosphere that feels like home. A true hidden gem!

I moved to the Outer Richmond a little over a year ago and have been coming to Simple Pleasures several times a week since then. The staff are friendly, service is fast, and they have an impressive range of food and drinks. I personally love their Chai -- unlike other Chais that are more sweet than anything else, theirs is well-spiced and so good. More than that, they aren't just a cafe -- they're a community hub. They host weekly Open Mic and monthly Trivia Nights (special shoutout to MC Rick!). It's always a fun time and a great way to meet neighbors and make new friends, plus their trivia prizes are almost exclusively merch/gift cards for other local businesses -- it's just so special and just really highlights their commitment to uplifting the community. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and check them out! They are truly a local gem.

Fantastic Lil throwback coffee shop with fresh pastries bagels and sandos to please everyone's appetite. Nice selection of craft beers and wine for your afternoon thirst quenching provided in a hip artistic environment. Serving locals and explorers like me since 1978. Stay hungry, my friends! Mangia

It was my first time here . This place is awesome. You can sit in this cafe and just look at the walls and take pictures. There are lots of pictures and posters and arts from years and years ago hanging all over the place . I loved it not because of their drinks and pastries but just because of its atmosphere. I ordered a Chagaccino ( which was ok ) and it was my first time trying it and I ordered one of their pastries. Employees were nice and friendly. I will definitely go back .
