Simple Delights

Simple Delights is a Filipino bakery and cafe in Morton Grove. I stopped in because Yelp said they offered bubble tea. Unfortunately they did not have bubble tea or other coffee drinks. They showed me inside the fridge which had bottled water and packaged breads. Instead I purchased some Hopia ube and they pointed out a tray of freshly baked Hopia mongo. It was soft, fluffy and warm. I also couldn't resist ordering some Shanghai lumpia -- 10 pieces for $6.50. It was a few minutes as they prepared it -- very crunchy and bursting with pork.They have all day breakfast and lunch specials. I'll have to look over the menu and stop by for lunch. I saw several people taking away food. There are a few tables for dining in. Though it is a bakery I only saw types of breads.

We got their chicken and pork empanadas with one pan de sal. The items were good but do note they are sweet. The empanadas has a sweet outer shell which is delightful.My only downside to coming here was not really knowing prices or having a menu. I came in asking for a menu and they only gave me a list of items for catering with catering prices which was not helpful. The ambiance is that of a cute family owned spot. There are seats inside and they sell pastries prepackaged. There is food up front where they scoop and serve it as you choose your items. I think it's a good spot to get some baked goods but they sell a lot of it per package which is not good if you want to just try new things. It's a bit far from me which I think reduces its star count.

Where I get my Pinoy food fix. They have a website where you can see where they offer other foods. This place is less than a 5 min drive away and I only have to encounter 1 street light! Easy and lazy for me.

The Saturday that I went to Simple Delights and tried their breakfast combos, was one of the fullest I have ever been.. and I was very happy. I came here with my daughter and we were greeted once we got inside. There was limited parking spots because the place was in a small commercial strip. There was no dine in service since they were strictly following the Covid precautions so we waited there for our meals to be cooked. We tried the DAINGSILOG and LONGSILOG. Both the daing na bangus and longganisa were delicious, especially with the garlic fried rice. I loved the toasted garlic that were sprinkled on the rice. While waiting for our breakfast combo meals, the smell of fresh-out-of-the-oven PAN DE SAL was distracting me so I had to get a few pieces. They were still warm and soft, so how could I resist?! They also encouraged my daughter to try their freshly made chicken emapanada. We loved it. It was stuffed with delicious filling and the pastry was so good. I am definitely going back to try other meals. Hopefully I can get lucky again with my timing so I can catch those warm and delicious pan de sal. The service we received was great. They were friendly, efficient and very pleasant. Til next time.

Really good authentic food! Great customers service too! Had Halo Halo, Mami Chicken, Pork Enpanada, and egg roll with vinegar dipping sauce! All delicious.

We are so happy to see a Filipino breakfast place in Morton Grove! We tried 5 of their 7 breakfast combos (see photos). All are served with garlic fried rice, an over easy egg, and a side of pickled vegetables. DaingSilog - Marinated Milkfish - very good, a few fish bonesTocilog - Cured Pork Tocino - tender, flavorful LongSilog - Filipino Sausage Longanisa - excellent- not too fatty like at other places (Why that name? LONGanisa / SInangag fried rice / itLOG fried egg)TapSilog - Cured Beef - tasty but a bit dry. Will skip next time CornBeefSilof - Corned Beef with onions - my personal favorite There are also 2 other fish dishes that we have not yet tried (Dried fish tuyo and Smoked fish tinapa)The bakery portion has excellent empanadas very generously filled with meat, pan de sal bread rolls, hopia, siopao, fresh lumpia, and so much more. Check this place out! Call ahead for Filipino breakfast, as each one is made to order.

Welcoming storefront and accommodating folks! The pandesal was soft and so good. We ordered the BBQ to go, and it was flavorful and hot.Definitely plan to come back to try the breakfast items. Thank you!

I recently stumbled upon Simple Delights after dropping off something at a nearby big box store. Simple Delights is basically the opposite of anything big box, as it is a quaint Filipino bakery and cafe. The sign in the front window touts an all day breakfast, but I just wanted a snack to go. The cashier said the store has been around for 8 years, and I had no idea that this place has been around this long. There were a few familiar baked goods on the counter, so I went with a chicken empanada. It was ok but after eating it I soon realized that I was not a big fan of Filipino-style empanadas, which are more akin to an Asian bun rather than a Latin-style empanada (baked or fried). Perhaps I will have to try something like the sweeter ensaymada roll if I am back here.

Counter Service. Neighborhood. Enjoyed BBQ PORK that is best consumed when catered with big rice spoons. Puny plastic spoons are a hindrance to enjoying good food. BBQ PORK isn't sweet as others, but an extra calamansi would make it better.MAMI CHICKEN is so-so with light flavor and just right ingredients.SMOKED MACKEREL available.PRICING is a tad high, less than $5 should be appropriate. I don't believe the breakfast combo is a deal but a necessity to enjoy a meal that you need to have rice to enjoy BBQ PORK.

I was a bit surprised to see all the horrible review. I had great service when I was there. I'm not familiar with Filipino baked goods and the guy took his time and explained it. I ordered some kind of bread with ube in it and a dessert. I forgot the names!!! I didn't love the dessert but my brother did. I did love the bread. It was warm and not too sweet.
