Simply Honest Cafe

Feeling under the weather, but still had to go pick up the kid. I figured a restorative was in order. And when I saw they had not just sausage gravy, but turkey sausage gravy, and it wasn't far from my route, I was off. Parking is a little weird. You can park in the CVS lot, and apparently the Jiffy Lube lot next-door, but I wasn't sure about that and while it is the closest one, I chose CVS for safety. You can't go in the back door of the restaurant, although you can come out of it at the end. It is larger inside than I expected, and nicer, though not fancy. Order with a code or at the counter. Super friendly, patient, efficient service. Minimal, because you order at the counter and they bring it out, but still really good. They have coffee, and have other drinks, like Boylan's pop. I got a macchiato, which was in a small, old school coffee cup, not the giant type you get nowadays. But that's plenty; I'm trying to cut back on caffeine. I got the turkey sausage gravy and biscuits breakfast. I don't think I've ever had it with turkey. I've used ground turkey in chili and spaghetti sauce and what not, but never seen this. And I figured that was also an indicator that it was house made. It came out fast, and it was amazing. Big hearty biscuits, a lot of gravy with big chunks of meat, lightly seasoned. And there's hot sauce on the table, which is always a good sign. I chose a fruit cup instead of potatoes because, you know, man does not live on sausage gravy and biscuits alone. It was ripe fruit. Not under ripe like you get too often; it was perfectly ripe. And the eggs were cooked to my spec. I had thought about getting a side. I mean, Mexican corn, Brussel sprouts, more that sounds good. But this was plenty, and I was fairly hungry. I'll be back for the other stuff. Very reasonably priced for very good food. Fast, at an off time. I will definitely be back.

The restaurant has a Chipotle vibe. You can order from the counter or table. Party of 5, so chose table. QR code on the table for the menu. Self-serve water. Therefore we ordered and paid by phone, including tip, before the meal was served. The coffee was terrible. Black coffee came with creamer and brown sugar already added, not the raw sugar we thought we were ordering, on the side. Received a new cups of black coffee and it was still terrible. I asked for a plain bagel with cream cheese and was told we had to go to the counter. There is no provision to customize using the online menu. The food was so-so. The breakfast burrito sounded good but was disappointing. Hash brown potatoes were oily as if they were twice fried or pre-cooked before frying. Moldy dried-up blueberries in a fruitcup drowning in juice.This location has so much going for it. Sorry Scrabmblers did not survive Covid in this location. As I was leaving, I looked around and thought this would be a great location for a quick Chinese restaurant, ala the Mark Pi's Express or Panda Express.Parking: Plenty of parking in the rear.

This is a cute little cafe across from Nationwide Children's Hospital. I've gone about 3 times only for lunch as I now work right around the corner. The decor is bright, filled with a lot of plants, and it's clean with ample seating. The service is always great in my opinion with friendly young ladies working the register, and they bus your table afterwards if you dine-in. They offer a variety of healthy food options, salads, wraps, etc. My only gripe is that the food just isn't very flavorful. The first meal I tried there was the crispy chicken wrap. It had one thick very tough piece of chicken that wasn't seasoned much. Yesterday I tried the turkey avocado salad and it also didn't blow me away. Even the bacon they use doesn't have much taste! Didn't think that was even possible! All in all, I'd recommend them if you just happen to be in the area wanting a healthier option.

I have been wanting to try this place. We brought the family in today. We got a chicken Fajita omlette, French toast and kids turkey sandwich and French toast. The lavender latte was also good. We will be back. Overall good service, food and value.

I really need to start coming to this place more often! I tried the iced latte again and this time it was better. But I really loved the hot honey chicken bowl! Everything is so fresh and healthy, but flavorful too. I was able to take home leftovers for a second meal. Highly recommend.

Tasty, affordable, quick, friendly, and plenty of healthy but filling options. Will definitely go back

Delicious food. Big menu. Friendly staff. Large dining area. We will definitely be back. I got the sweet & Spicy tofu bowl.

This place serves brunch and they're closed at 2pm for Sunday brunch .... Which says a lot. If this place were good, and by the way there are like 500 homes surrounding it in GV and Schumacher Place.... It would NOT be closed at 2pm on a SUNDAY for brunch!!!

I've had their food twice, and it was delicious both times! Definitely a healthier option for lunch :)

Stopped in for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. The espresso drinks are delicious, as was my bagel sandwich. I think the breakfast potatoes are made with magic. Cafe staff were gracious, helpful, and kind. The food took a little longer than I expected, but I made it clear that I wasn't in a rush and our server was communicative and apologetic. The café has tons of plants and comfy seating. I definitely want to come back and try more of their food options!
