    Milk separating from coffee
    Roxanne O.

    Food was good, a little spicier than I expected, but I liked it. Coffee was terrible. We ordered a flat white and a latte, both with oat milk, and the milk separated from the coffee. So it was like a coffee, with a layer of steamed milk on top. Super pricey given the quality.

    Vegan Handmade Kati Roll w/ Chickpeas
    Kevin D.

    During my visit, I experience good customer service; employees are kind and helpful with navigating Vegan options of the menu. As of June 6, 2026, one of the Vegan Handmade Kati Rolls is not on an online menu though one may find it on the in-store menu. The difference between the two Vegan rolls is that one has potatoes as core ingredients whereas the other has Chickpeas. Thinking of protein though of a light meal option due to having a high protein morning thus far then, I opt for the Kati Roll with the Chickpeas, which is so flavorful. From my very first bite, my mouth fills with non-spicy spices (though I like spices, so taste far more flavor than any mouth tingling sensation), pure savory rich soft delight, with nary an after taste (which, of these flavors, I think may be quite nice actually). The interior decorating seems quite Feng Shui Minimalist Industrialist. There is an outdoor eating area in somewhat of a more private court area away from the parking lot. The establishment accepts different forms of payment. Chill Vibes.

    Back again and this time did a gf df omelete with Indian spices. So unctuous and flavorful and healthy and filling. Gluten free bread and a salad with the best salad dressing came with it. Fabulous almond cookies that crumble in the month. Gorgeous and clean interiors with a very welcoming ambiance always !

    Wow this a very cute local Indian fusion spot I would highly recommend. It is a sit down place, but you order at the counter and they'll give you a number where you can wait for your food. The tandoori chicken sandwich hit the spot as did the rose pistachio cake- both are a little on the pricier end but I would 100% recommend. We also go the chicken kati roll- but that was mediocre. Can't wait to come back and try more items!

    Bombay Sandwich - buttered pan de mie (milk-soaked bread), veggies, cheese, mint coriander chutney. Delicious!
    Florence C.

    Fresh, flavorful Indian-inspired breakfast and lunch eats that made my whole family happy. We did takeout. I had the Bombay Sandwich: buttered triple-layered Pan de Mie (milk-soaked bread) stacked with veggies, cheese, and a mint-coriander chutney so good I almost proposed. Hubs devoured the Grilled Chili Cheese Toast: sourdough, cheddar, gouda, bell peppers, corn, and green chili- an upgrade that grilled cheese never knew it needed. Both came with a real salad- not that sad bagged shit. Dessert was a win! Our daughter crushed a giant Chocolate Chip Cookie, while we got fancy with the Rose and Pistachio Cake- lush, spiced with saffron-soaked milk topped with edible rose petals and pistachio. The Bun Maska was fine but not a must-order. Overall, really good and worth another visit. Next time, no sharing- I'm naan-negotiable. ;) NOTES/TIPS: **Street parking and paid (sometimes free) parking nearby. **Order on their website https://www.thesimplefareshop.com/ or DoorDash (costs a little more).

    Salted caramel cold brew
    Binoy V.

    The Simple fare is an adorable cafe that serves delicious creative yet comforting Indian bites, refreshing coffee & tea, and delightful cakes. The vibe is cozy & relaxed with an outdoor patio complimented by a fountain. The service is pleasant & the owner graciously walked me through their story, the inspiration behind the cafe & the mouthwatering menu they so thoughtfully designed. I enjoyed their salted caramel cold brew, rose pistachio cake, & tandoori chicken sandwich - can't wait to visit again & try more things. The Simple Fare wins your heart with its concept & soul satisfying food.

    The fresh sweets
    Sheel M.

    We recently purchased a box of Diwali sweets from this location and the sweets were delicious! Its a little pricey but everything was so yummy, so I probably will order again. I tried a sample of their rose pistachio cake and that was so good as well. I did not sit down for brunch but it looked like a great spot to grab a bite! The place has great ambiance, would totaly go for brunch here someday.

    Stopped here for a quick bite and some coffee. I ordered the rose pistachio cake and an apple pie (small). Cute little cafe and the staff was sweet. Kindly adding any additions I asked for. Although I asked for my treats to go, I did sit outside and dove in. The lil apple pie was ok generic but then again I asked for it to be warmed up (which they did), just wasn't warmed enough for my standard. The rose pistachio cake was really good though. That I enjoyed. Reminded me of a lighter cornbread type bake.

    Cute walk down cafe that has unique drinks (masala chai, thandai) as well as traditional beverages (latte, espresso, tea, ect). They have pastries, light fare (salads) as well as heartier entrees (chicken curry, Chana masala). Some items like the Bombay sandwich and bun maska sound like good foods to try (unique and fusion). Just ordered drinks at this visit. I had the masala chai, which was very smooth, creamy and had hints of cinnamon, pepper, cardamom and ginger). None of the elements overpowered the others. It was needed on a cold windy day.

    Sloppy Joe
    Parag B.

    I got the sloppy Joe and it was delicious, but it was tiny!!!! Do not buy!!!! Cost too much for the amount of meat given in a sloppy Joe. I took 3 bites and the sandwich was gone. It about the size of McDonald cheese burger. I understand the restaurant business is difficult, but I felt scammed.

    Indian grilled chilli cheese!
    Scott S.

    What a great addition to downtown Millburn. Nothing like this in town. So damn good. Every bite and drink has been delicious. People are so nice. Sit down space big enough. Have their own lot. I've had pastries with Indian flavors all excellent. Last time I tried the chilli cheese sandwich which was perfection. Coffee and lattes are excellent as well. Been here twice and I plan to keep coming back to try more on their menu. Highly recommend!

    Cute and quaint new cafe in Millburn. I had the cardamom latte, passion fruit tea, salted banana bread and chicken tikka sandwich. Service was friendly.

    Chili cheese toast, breakfast sandwich, jaggery fennel French toast, chai, and almond rose latte
    Hiran P.

    Casual establishment with good quality food and drinks. Walking in you got a chill vibe with modern seating and outdoor seating as well for the summer time. The drinks were great - presentation was nice and they gave us a small brownie. The fennel scone is real good and I'm not a big scone person. Breakfast sandwich was rich in flavor and the bread was airy and so fresh! Chili toast was spot with perfect combo of spice and cheese. Jaggery fennel French toast is a must get!

    Finally got to experience this place after hearing of it for more than 2+ years! I've heard at…read moretimes this Coffee spot can be pretty packed, so I feel like I came on a really good day. First off: Service. I told the employee that this was my first time there, and they were more-than-happy to help me make a decision for my order. Patient and walked me through. Second: The Food. Let's get into it. 1) Cassava Latte ($7.50) - I was so pleasantly suprised at this drink; described as "(i)nspired by the Filipino dessert cake, made with condensed milk and coconut." The first sip, and I was intrigued! It was perfectly sweet, and the perfect mix of that coconut-dessert taste that cassava typically delivers! It tasted genuine, if that's possible. 2) Sinigang Croquette ($5.00) - This was interesting. Described as "Pork and Gabi (taro) shaped into a patty, rolled in Japanese bread crumbs, and deep fried. Served with our in-house sawsawan (dipping sauce)", it hit all the right notes. To be honest? $5.00 for 1 felt a bit steep. I'd pay $7.50 for two, though! 3) Boy Bawang Shio Pan ($7.50) - This was the most curious of all my purchases. Described as an "(i)n-house salt bread rolled in garlic and corn crumbs, filled with roasted garlic butter, topped with corn cheese whip. Inspired by the popular Filipino snack: Boy Bawang. THIS ITEM I SING ITS PRAISES. I am an absolute lover of the Boy Bawang Garlic Flavor Corn Snack --- much more pungent than anything Corn Nuts could ever offer. This Shio Pan absolutely delivered with its roasted garlic flavor! And as soon as you take a few bites ---- you get hit with that roasted garlic butter --- and let me tell you, they are not shy about their filling! Absolute master class --- but it's only for a limited run. You should definitely try! Third: Ambiance - The Cafe is quaint --- and has a seating area that could maybe fit between 18-24 people? It's just along the side of the business, but I managed to get a table for myself. Ayala, you did not disappoint! Can't wait to try your Sisig Flatbread for the next round!

    I came into this place with very high expectations because it was ranked globally on beli. It was…read moregood, but it did miss a bit. First the good: The food was good! I had the sisig flatbread and the pork croquette. The sisig flatbread had very unique and complex flavors. I thought it was very creative. The croquette was fresh and tasty, but it was truly the sauce that came with it that was the star of the show. It bold and vinegary and tasted great with the sisig flat bread as well. I tried a bit of my friend's pandan waffle and it was quite tasty! I could really taste the pandan. Now the bad. The ube latte was mediocre. I asked for mine with matcha, but I really couldn't even taste the matcha. I think next time I might try their other drinks to see if there is a difference. However, I was really expecting better. Overall: I'd say the food is better than the drinks, which is a bit of a disappointment because I was hoping for both to be out of this world. The service was good and the staff was very kind. I also enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant as well.
