Simple Pleasures Cafe

At Simple Pleasures Cafe, you wouldn’t blink twice if you saw a neighborhood book club plopping down on the back couches or staff greeting long-time regulars by name. The coffee shop is a feel-good, all-day gathering spot in the Richmond—even if you just come in for a quick cappuccino, don’t be surprised if you end up staying for hours with a good book by the big windows. In terms of the actual menu, there are hearty cafe staples like bagels and paninis, and a straightforward list of espresso drinks served in straightforward to-go cups.
