A cozy cafe with lots of character, a large variety of baked goods, and friendly staff. If you like very spicy chai tea, this is the spot for you. And when I say spicy, I mean spicy! A really nice kick in addition to the sweetness. My pumpernickel bagel was disappointing because it was a little undercooked so it was dense and sticky, but I definitely got my money's worth of cream cheese - there was way more than enough! I didn't give 5 stars for the atmosphere because the volume of the music was so loud in the front of the cafe. Cheers!

My friend and I recently met up at Simple Pleasures Cafe. It's not my go-to coffee shop, but it's a convenient location for us to chat. The cafe itself has a relaxed atmosphere. Indoors, it's cozy and comfortable, with that classic cafe feel. On a sunny day, the outdoor patio offers a nice change of scenery. They brew a nice cup of coffee. Perfect for a chat with a friend. They also have a selection of beers available, which is a plus if you're meeting up in the evening for a more relaxed catch-up. Simple Pleasures is a nice choice for conversation and a comfortable setting.

Simple Pleasures Café-what a great neighborhood find! 3434 Balboa St. in the Outer Richmond District of San Francisco, just a stone’s throw to the beach. This neighborhood, favorite has a little bit of everything, baked goods, freshly roasted coffee, cold beer, and a fabulous vibe. I treated myself to the deeeeelicious Italian almond cake with a cup of freshly roasted coffee, what a pleasure it was indeed!

1) Its a neighborhood spot. For people who have lived in SF 15+ years. Great, regular crowd. High school and college kids working the front. 2) Its not a hoity-toity place. There are others in the Richmond that can serve you a cortado with a heart in the foam. Go there if thats what you seek. If you came in expecting Blue Bottle, and were disappointed, thats on you. Dont be a hater and stress the locals with a bad review. Go find a new hobby
