I eat here every morning at least 5 times a week and I'm never disappointed. They always remember my name and order. The iced white chocolate latte is my go to and their sandwiches are out of this world. There's so many different choices, you almost have to give everything a try! I highly recommend Simply Panini if you're ever in the downtown tacoma area. read more

The breakfast sandwich this time around was disgusting. You can tell they use liquid eggs from the carton the egg was so thick and dry, the bacon is clearly microwaveable, frozen hash browns from Costco (need to salt them) the jalepeno "sauce" is cream cheese and they used it VERY sparingly. The ciabatta was dry old tasting not a toasted (panini) you would think they would press it? Idk. Dry, bland, zero flavor. read more

Such a cute little spot! They have online ordering for faster service but I ordered in the Cafe & didn't even wait that long! The staff team were rly kind, it was my first time here, they explained the options for me! I got the Turkey Bacon on Focaccia & it was delicious! Def stopping by again for my lunch!! read more

Simply Panini - Turkey Bacon Press Panini - Sandwiches Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

LOVE how they have order online feature and the kiosk avail. for us who work downtown and are on a time crunch. Makes lunch break a lot smoother and faster. Been coming to this place for the past 6 years place is under new management and new owners did a lot of new upgrades. This place is the place to stop and get coffee - they have a small sit down area inside and a few table and chairs outside. Barista and cashiers are always so welcoming and friendly. I love the sandwich and soup combo and the panini's are good ! read more

I have been searching for a good panini place for almost 2 years now. This is the one. I got the Turkey bacon pressed panini on focaccia and an iced mocha. BOTH were delicious. Service was fast and I appreciate the cute seating outside! Definitely stop by if you're in the area, or if you just want a good panini! :) read more

Wow very reasonable price. Got coffee. Tasted fine - not impressive but hey it's cheap. Service is great! Ambiance busy and hot. Will be back! read more

I stumbled upon this place as I was trying to find somewhere different to eat but I am glad I ended up here. The food was good, the staff were friendly, and my order was ready quickly. There are a couple seats at the window counter and there are several tables outside. I had a breakfast sandwich on sourdough, but they had several options for bread. read more

I ordered the Italian Pesto Press and chai Latte. The sandwich was truly amazing! It came hot and so fresh. The drink was delicious- so rich, creamy, with just right amount of spice. Our order came quickly and the service was pleasant and attentive. Definitely a five star experience!! read more

A bit cramped inside,but maybe the best Panini I've ever had.Portions were generous,flavors were amazing!

Simply Panini makes mouthwatering paninis and a pretty darn decent iced coffee if you ask me. I've been there once before years ago when I was in the area after someone recommended them to me but I mostly just get my food delivered from them through Uber eats since I don't really go into downtown Tacoma anymore. Normally I get the breakfast sandwiches which have always been great but switched it up recently and tried a couple of their lunch menu items. If you like your sandwiches with a little bit of a kick, I highly recommend the jalapeño grilled cheese ! The gyro press panini is also very good, the flavor you'd expect from a classic gyro sandwich but instead of a pita it's on your choice of their bread. I went with wheat for the gyro and sourdough for the grilled cheese. The coffee can be a little too strong for me at times but it's normally good. I like the iced mochas and lattes with non fat milk and coconut flavor added. They have a variety of different milks and flavors you can add to the coffee drinks if you wish to. Overall, it's a great place to check out for breakfast or lunch. read more

Simply Panini - Spicy Hash and White Chocolate Mocha - Sandwiches Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Really enjoyed my first trip to this spot! It's in a convenient spot off commerce for a lot of the businesses there. The shop is pretty small with only six or so bar type seats available, there are outdoor tables but it's was a bit too cold for that today. I had the Cali Chicken Panini and was overall very satisfied. The best part was probably the bread, you get a choice between white, wheat, sourdough, or focaccia. I got the focaccia which was very soft inside and perfectly grilled on the outside. Veggies were fresh and loved that they used red onion! The only downside was that it was a bit messy with the liquid from the tomato as well as the sauce which was only okay. Still a good sandwich and they had plenty of other options that I'll be back to try. Prices were about average for the area, maybe slightly less at 11 for the Panini. read more

Great food and service! Food is amazing and staff was so friendly. Would totally recommend.

Delicious panini! I got the toasted steak but subbed the swiss cheese for provolone because I hate swiss cheese. My eight year old would have loved the 'pull'...cheese stretched for days! So good. Folks working were lovely and speedy, obviously well loved in the community. Definitely going to have to come back and try another one! read more

Been here a couple of times, fast - simple - great food. "Cali Chicken Press" for brunch read more

Great food great customer service! The vibe of the restaurant was nice. Very great outdoor space

The panini sandwiches are a hit! The veggies are fresh and the ingredients are top quality. I also recommend the spiced chai latte - so good! The service was efficient and very friendly staff. I'm definitely going back! read more

Nice little Mom & Pop store in downtown Tacoma. Location was clean, service was fast, and Berry Salad was yummy. I thought it was a good serving size for the amount paid. Close to where I was staying. Would stop by again if ever in town. read more

The paninis are delicious, very clean inside, friendly staff, and amazing coffee! Would highly recommend!

Grabbed lunch here today and got the Cali Chicken Press, with chicken, avocado, tomato, onion, pepperjack and chipotle mayo, all on focaccia. The sandwich was nicely toasted, and they didn't skimp on the avocado. The cafe was clean, and there were a bunch of ads for delicious (albeit sugar-loaded) espresso beverages as you walk in. I'll have to stop by another time when I plan on working the sugar off later in the day! The seating seemed slim, just a few bar-style seats, but I was getting my food to go and didn't mind. read more

Great little spot... nice service, good coffee, GREAT sandwiches (try the jalapeno grilled cheese).... a nice spot in the business district. read more

I work in the area and am always in search of a place to grab a quick lunch. This place is usually pretty crowded, so I decided to give it a try. I got the Cali chicken panini and was super disappointed because the sandwich had absolutely no flavor whatsoever (even with pepperjack cheese, chipotle mayo and onions). The service was pretty quick, however, for the price, I wasn't terribly impressed and will not be going back to this place again. read more

Second time here & I LOVEEE IT! I'm a huge croissant person and it's safe to say their sandwiches don't disappoint! My favs: Basic Breakfast Sandwich w/Sausage & the Early Bird Sandwich (Turkey, Pesto, Egg Whites) Soooo so good! read more

Simply Panini - Early Bird - Sandwiches Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Well....... I was soooo looking forward to lunch. We went out of our way to find this place (from Yelp). Not a fan of Tacoma, but that's beside the point. Just seems for the price that maybe they would be a little more flexible. I didn't think my request was too crazy. My daughter didn't want her sprouts, so I asked if I could have them and they said No. What??? read more

2 words: berry salad. You're welcome. A delicious fresh salad with strawberries blueberries slivered almonds.... chicken,,, feta... and a delicious sweet vinaigrette. I've never been inside this business and this review is based solely on a food delivery service... that's how great the salad was :) read more

I was very happy to try this place. I had never seen it or heard of it but my wife wanted to try it out. Its a small cute shop downtown. They make breakfast sandwiches and its pretty quick and easy... unfortunately I dont think we will be here too often. Its one of the Tacoma shops that is only open on the weekdays. There is another sandwich shop downtown that does this and it was also awesome but probably rarely visited by us. The reason these shops are able to do this is that they serve the Tacoma workforce and dont need to keep open during the weekend. I completely respect this move and glad they are able to maintain business only on the weekdays. read more

Not a bad panini shop at all but not necessarily the most deluxe either. The people that work here are nice and friendly and get your order out to you in a speedy manner even when the place is busy. I got a Jalapeño Grilled Cheese which was very tasty and was a nice little lunch, accompanied with chips if you so choose. The seating inside is kind of limited but there are several tables and chairs outside where you can eat. read more

This place is amazing for a quick light breakfast bagel. Would definitely recommend coming here and esting

Coworkers heaven I say that because I work at different jobs sites around Tacoma and I order from here on accession for the team.I always order the jalapeño bacon breakfast bagels with the everything bagel.It usually through Uber eats which every time I've ordered it come hot and fresh eggs fluffy and soft and bacon cocked to perfection.Im hoping to get time to visit the store front but I would recommend this place for a quick breakfast I believe you can also order to go and pickup.I did I mention the sandwich comes with a hash brown inside... read more

This was easily one of the worst experiences I've had with customer service in Tacoma. Have ordered from them a number of time and when they get the order correct it's decent, but more often than not they get it completely wrong. Today I called to make sure they would get the order correct and I only got to "Hi I just ordered..." and was cut off. The woman on the phone started yelling at me that they couldn't complete my order because I asked for "no meat sub extra egg". When I calmly reminded her that that's the way I always order it she said aggressively "we did it twice before". I told her that I've ordered it a dozen times and regardless of other mistakes they have always made that substitute. Then she started yelling again saying "Sir! Sir! We can't do it when you order more than one sandwich!" Clearly just making up reasons to abuse customers. At this point I'd had enough of her verbal abuse and nonsensical rules. Finally she would not cancel my order even though she told me she couldn't make the order, forcing me to call Uber Eats and wait for them to call the restaurant to confirm. I ate here because it is convenient when I can't cook and there aren't a lot of places to get a basic egg sandwich in town. Not because it's good, and certainly not because of customer service. I advise you to avoid this place. Update: The owner is flat out lying in her response here. I was yelled at the moment I connected with somebody and it didn't end until the phone was hung up. They are abusive and her response is not at all the way the conversation went down. I didn't request anything abnormal on the sandwich as shown above and the only reason I was calling was to make sure it was sent correctly this time. It's clear in her response that they started making the sandwich even though I requested no meat, which means she had no intention of contacting me to let me know they could not oblige. That's bad business and can lead to health concerns. I was happy to leave this review alone along with the several other one-star reviews, but now I intend to share it with as many people as possible. read more

Simply Panini is simply delicious! We've tried several sandwiches and salads over the summer and have yet to be disappointed. It's become one of our favorite spots to grab a bite! read more

Just plain good, ingredients seemed fresh, a couple different options for bread I had the turkey bacon grilled panini first day, asked to add onions and that didn't happen but it was still really good and second day had the chicken Avocado panini and that was really good, ordered both on sourdough and had them delivered. The crust on the sourdough gets a little chewy by the time I get to eat it and it's actually really good like that. Only downside is they are a little pricey, 12.00$ just the sandwich, I ordered a bag of chips today and they were 1.75$ I figured they were probably a pretty good size bag but they weren't even the big grab size. All in all the sandwiches are great!! read more

Came here after taking an exam hungry. Hooding to grab some food across the street but they weren't open. Luckily this place was. After looking at the menu for like 20 minutes I ordered the power sand which . I ordered this one because I saw that it comes with egg and avocado. I give this sandwich 3 star because there was no wow factor. But it was still good ;). The other sandwich I grabbed was the cali chicken. Now the chicken cali sandwich was a bit better. I just wish the chicken had more flavor and less dry. Maybe when I need to study before my morning exam, you will see me here picking something up. I have to note that the store itself is very small. I believe there's about 6 seats total and some outside. But on a positive note, they do have a happy hour ! read more

Sue and the gang always take care of us! Great coffee and food. Quick service as well. Breakfast sandwiches are delicious. Keep up the great service! Wayne read more

To be honest, I was no big fan of paninis until I tried this spot. Simply Panini completely redefined and reintroduced a new spectrum of new flavors to my palate. I've been here several times in the past week and each time, Kevin (the owner), has delivered to my taste. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for a 'quality' quick bite that will leave them with the"hitting the spot" feeling afterwards. Be sure to check out his special daily menu item he personally writes up on the mini board on the front. Kevin, is an expert pleaser of the appetite, so don't be shy to bug him on customizing or personalizing your meal to your specific liking. P.S: if you're a regular, don't forget to get your "Simply" coffee card punched to benefit from the freebee coffee after the 9th one! read more

This place is absolutely AMAZING!!! I've been here multiple times already with both my sisters since they've opened. I normally order their Grilled Veggie Press on wheat. The bread was drizzled in olive oil and perfectly toasted on the outside. The panini consisted of spinach, red onions, roasted red peppers, grilled eggplant, sundried tomato sauce, feta, and artichoke hearts. The ingredients perfectly balanced one another and made for a delicious lunch for only $7.50!!! Considering the quality of their food, you honestly cannot beat the price. Being a vegetarian, it's difficult to find a place that not only serves food thats great in taste, but is also high in quality, affordable, and is quick to order. Not only is their food beyond amazing, but their chic and modern atmosphere combined with their cleanliness creates the perfect ambiance. Their service is truly top notch as well. Quick, efficient, and extremely friendly!!! The owner Kevin, was very welcoming. The moment I walk in, I am always greeted with a warm and friendly 'Hello!' I have so many great things to say about this place. I only wish they'd open another joint closer to my office so I could go there everyday. Oh well... hopefully one day soon!!! =) read more

This place is FANTASTIC! The atmosphere, and the decor were perfect, and fit right into the area it's at. It was clean, and the staff was friendly. I love that they serve big train blended drinks, they are almost like coffee milkshakes. Everything from the food to the drinks were made with care, you could tell that this place takes pride in what they do. I love food that is light, and non-greasy, yet still leaves me feeling full. I can't wait to try new things, so yes, I plan on coming back a lot! read more

It's really good. Kevin's the man. He makes good foods. They will accommodate the order to your liking!

So glad Yelp recommended Simply Panini while searching for a Vanilla Latte. The latte is nice and caramely and extremely easy on the pallet as the roast is much smoother than most blends you find at places like Starbucks. I also tried the Little Italy Panini. It is very flavorful and the sourdough bread is nice and light. read more
