Simpls

Great place for gluten-free options. I love their daily selection of soups, but recently discovered the GF salads. Oh my. The maple vinaigrette dressing is fantastic, as are the fresh organic greens and other ingredients. Price is just a bit higher than other lunch spots, bot so worth it for the freshness and quality. The employees are always helpful and friendly.

Downtown Minneapolis doesn't make it easy for a groggy breakfast seeking vegan. For the most part, I've grabbed granola bars or a piece of fruit.....nothing against the classics, but Simpls has made mornings a lot more delicious with the inclusion of a vegan breakfast sandwich (and vegan doughnuts and pastries, plus great strong coffee). This isn't one of those lazy options, or the result of removing most of the ingredients from another sandwich, it's enough to make Minneapolis in the morning feel like Paris at sunset (well, I try). The sandwich this morning included vegan versions of bacon, egg, gouda, and more- it was incredibly delicious. Also, each time I've gone to this place (there's another a few curls of skyway away) I've noticed how friendly and nice the counter workers are, it's pretty cool and probably means it's a good and fair place to work. At lunch they have soups (some vegan) and they have been among the best I've had. Also, the prices are very reasonable, not succumbing to the hyped and overpriced hipster "give us money to start up our business where we sell $14 sandwiches" model (the breakfast sandwich was $5 and change). Thanks for the deliciousness, Simpls! PS Since I didn't take a picture, here's one expressing how the sandwich made me feel.

It’s a small place but I can always find a yummy and healthy option here during lunch time. I love their soup selection — very flavorful and surprisingly hearty. To top it off, the workers there are Uber friendly and always helpful. Which is amazing because I can imagine hurried downtown workers on their lunch break may not be so friendly...

Amazing locally made products that cater to gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan desires with every item clearly labeled as such. 4-5 soups available daily! Store has a cooler of ready-made lunches like salads, sandwiches, pastas, along with another for cooler for quick snacks like portioned snack packs, beef jerky, or single add items like chicken. A final cooler is dedicated to all the tummy soothing drinks you could ask for: probiotic shots, coldpress coffee, kombucha, etc. Mini chocolates, fresh pastries, and a coffee bar top it all off. Enjoy!
