I was walking in the morning and I saw people on the line and smell very good smell of homemade coffee. I tried Mexican white mocha and it was very nice. Smell of cinnamon and taste of coffee was very good. I love the ambiance simple as its name but very nice and cute. I recommend here for the one who love coffee. It’s a good one.

Great coffee, adorable quiet outdoor space, nice and annoying staff!Was ordering my usual summer drink which I get everywhere..iced 3-4 espresso shots with oat and splash of cream.The guy pushed me into a latte which was too weak. Discussion about their shots (one shot is a small double, typical at good shops). So we added another which fully melted the few cubes of ice left. I go back a THIRD time to add ice and am treated like I’m the problem.Day 2 I return - love the outdoor seats during covid..order iced double oat milk latte+splash cream. It’s way to creamy..sigh. Discussion again about shots. Look, every single cafe here, in Berkeley (where I’ve stayed a year), and Brooklyn where I moved from last year..if their standard shot is a double, that’s called one shot. So my ordering a double means 4 small shots. What else would it be?Staff is ok nice but this silliness isn’t necessary. I know I order a ridiculous drink (blame it on summers in Italy where iced espresso is always with crazy good whole milk I can’t replicate here, and being dairy sensitive..this is my concoction :)

Awesome place. Good service. Friendly. Delicious. Contemporary. Good music, good seating, low key. I recommend if you want something cozy, quick, not Starbucks, and youre okay spending an extra couple dollars.

Unique drinks and a lovely patio! I got the blue butterfly pea matcha drink with oat milk and it was beautiful but tasted more like oat than anything... maybe I just made a bad milk choice?

My macchiato was fine but the egg muffin sandwich I ordered came out cold on the bottom and center which if I knew was a premade frozen item I probably would have skipped. Tip from someone who used to work in food and had to warm up frozen sammies.. .leave them out a bit before or be sure to turn them over. Just because the cheese melts doesnt mean its fully warmed up. It was really a disappointing morning meal.......Thanks for the follow up but my point was with how busy you were and how hungry I was I shouldnt have to go back to ask for it to be properly warmed up. Youre also assuming I ate it there which if I took to go would still have been the same issue.

Nice place to sit by the tables and talk. Its shaded with about 4 tables outside and 2 benches .Iced coffee was decent. Slight hint of wood-y taste which you might originally not be into. Plenty of free parking available around here. No bathroom it looks like

LOVED. IT. This was my first time. I had the Cherry cold Brew tea - let me tell you - it was DELICIOUS! I also had a cheddar jalapeno bagel toasted with cream cheese and it was tasty. The vibe was great. It wasnt too crowded. I will definitely visit again.

Lovely little corner spot with some tasty coffee(s). Can certainly recommend the cappuccino!It looks like there hadnt been much room inside, so the currently all-outside setup isnt much different from how it would have been.Perfect weather for sitting out at their patio!

Rudest person I’ve ever dealt with. I left before even ordering. I was outside looking in, trying to see what the menu was. The person working inside yelled that they couldn’t serve me because I didn’t have a mask on. I was about to put it on, but was standing outside by myself. If I would have been asked kindly I would have happily put a mask on.This person, owner or employee, has some sort of complex where they must be the enforcer of social justice.

I ordered a latte and sausage bagel while I was waiting. It was a hot day in Burbank. Indoor seatings were air-conditioned but very limited (5-6 people maybe). Fret not! There were also shaded seatings out in the patio in the back (right next to the parking lot). It was hedged with bushes and decorated with a green wall (succulent-covered), completed with end tables and such. It really was a great spot for a leisurely weekend.

I really love this cute little coffee shop. The drinks are delicious and the staff is incredibly friendly. They have a little patio that I love because it’s not on the main road. It’s the perfect spot to relax with friends or get some work done. Highly recommend!

Review №24

A touch pricey for what I received. An extra shot of espresso was 1.95, so theres that. Drink was good, but when all was added up, tax and tip, it was 9.00 for a latte. An amazing latte wouldnt have me thinking twice. A good one would have me looking at some brewed coffee instead.

This is a really nice place to have a quick meeting with people. It has a very nice outside seating area with a nice landscaping and soft cushions and pillows for the bench seats. Its mostly street parking. I have a really great assortment of coffees and baked goods at a decent price. This is kind of a hipster coffee place and it is dog friendly with the outside seating.

Review №28

Extremely small on the inside so dont bring in your stroller. But that encourages you to go outside in the beautiful socal sun, so no biggie. The Mexican Mocha over ice is so good! It reminds me of chocomilk but added to iced coffee. Very milky and creamy. Outside patio has a succulent vertical garden on their sign. Very neat. The menu is just the right size.

I love the chai latte here. I get it with almond milk and it is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. They have a mushroom coffee thats surprisingly very good too.The service here is really what keeps me coming back though. Everyone is super friendly and make things exactly how I like.. especially Tyler. He always knows my order and gives me a good fist bump. 👊

Everyone in Burbank knows Simply coffee. They are the best from every point of view: coffee, pastries, service. Im happy theyve been with their customers during the whole covid-19 lockdown time. Nowadays, you can pay both online and on the spot.

Great customer service. Line may look long however it moves quickly. There is a shared parking lot behind the patio, otherwise there is plenty of street parking on Lima.Drinks are made well. I got a vanilla latte that was perfectly sweet, and a plain latte with oat milk for a friend. Varied selection of small bites that can be paired with coffee.Will definitely be back!!

Excellent coffee. I got the drip which was fresh, hot, and clearly brewed from quality beans. (It appears the use Stumptown coffee here.) The indoor seating is limited, but the outdoor patio is larger and quite comfortable. There is a public lot right next to the shop that makes for a great place to park. Highly recommended.

Very small but very friendly coffee shop that also serves a limited variety of desserts and sandwiches. The iced latte that I had was excellent in my friend, who is a regular, had a sugar free latte that was he said the best hes ever had. It is definitely better than Coffee Bean or Starbucks.

This place is great for studying (seating gets uncomfortable after two hours or so). The coffee is good but not especially outstanding. The Document Latte was great and did not overwhelm me, but it was a bit underwhelming if anything. Its just basic coffee with a tiny twist. Caffe art is beautiful though.

I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Simply Coffee on our interview date.After a long day of hitting up the thrift, vintage, and antique stores in Burbank, Simply Coffee is a wonderful place for you to sit and relax all while enjoying a lovely caffeinated beverage. Now don’t let its compact interior fool you, once you step into its patio area you will no doubt find a suitable seating option for you with their umbrella covered bistro tables and a large bench area for bigger groups. Its impressive and welcoming succulent wall combined with a tasteful playlist comprised of reggae and indie tracks gives off a soothing atmosphere that makes you want to spend all day there with a cup of something delicious to sip on.When I took a look at Simply Coffee’s menu, I couldn’t help but chuckle. Half the menu was listed for ‘coffee snobs,’ which includes your standard espressos, drip coffees, and cold brews, with the other half listed for ‘sweet lovers’ (I think you can take a guess at what’s included in that section. I went for a hazelnut white chocolate latte, and I’ve got to say, I was amazed by its creaminess and mild sweetness. I think the hazelnut softened the blow of the white chocolate, as sometimes white chocolate can taste like you’re on your way past the definition of sugar rush. If you’re looking for something simple, a freshly brewed Stumptown Roast or one of their loose leaf teas (all displayed in large jars) might be to your liking. Oooh, and don’t forget to add on a scrumptious salad, croissant, sandwich, or quiche to round out your order!

Hidden and tucked away in a little corner of the Magnolia strip, this shop is true to its name—coffee, simply put. Its great for when youre on the go or taking a walk down Magnolia and you want to stop for coffee. The place itself is tiny with very little seating options, but the quality of drink and service is wonderful.

After going to the Towns-Burr Gallery, my friends and I were going to go for a coffee at Portos, but the lines were miles long. We strolled east and found this sweet little treat. The coffee was lovely and we enjoyed tasty pastries. It reminded me of the friendly, relaxed, local coffee places in Morro Bay and other California coastal communities.

An amazing little coffee shop in Burbank serving a full range of espresso drinks. Stumptown coffee out of Portland roasts their coffee. High traffic, but never a long wait for delicious drinks and pastries. Found this gem on a business trip, and it became the daily stop. The staff is top notch and make you feel at home and welcome. A wonderful spot for all your caffeine needs.

Extremely pleasant, kind, and cheery little place. Awesome to do work in or chat with the servers. Only disadvantage is that it closes in the mid-afternoon. I really recommend their Mexican chocolate.

Review №60

This is definitely a great coffee shop. The beans are great, the servers know how to describe the flavors, and there is cold brew on tap. If you live and die by coffee this place will light up your senses. There are only five tables to sit at inside, so if you need a place to study get yourself there early.

From the time we walked in we knew we were in for a treat. From the funky art on the walls to the current music in the shop, this place delivers a warm and welcoming vibe.The coffee and food were great. The most pleasant surprise was when the barista delivered our food to our table. This will now be my go-to spot when Im on Magnolia in Burbank.

Everyone was very friendly but the urbanspoon menu is most certainly not the menu for this coffee shop. They had nothing that was on that menu. I went expecting to grab a bite for lunch but all they had were a few pastries. It seems like a really nice place if you want a cup of coffee, but they dont have much else.
