Simply Gourmet
2099 Saranac Ave, Lake Placid, NY
Crema's Take
“Simply Gourmet shines as a welcoming gathering spot in Lake Placid with a genuinely pleasant atmosphere that keeps locals coming back for unhurried conversations over coffee and pastries. While their bread-forward sandwiches and custom desserts show ambition, reviewers note the execution can be inconsistent—so visit with flexible expectations and focus on soaking in the cozy, sit-and-linger vibe rather than counting on culinary perfection.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Very good atmosphere here, and a lot of great sandwiches to choose from. Their bread was supposed to be the best part, so I ordered with the caramelized onion bread. It really wasn't all that amazing, but it did taste very fresh. If ya like a Balsamic vinaigrette then you'd like…
Very pleased with Simply Gourmet. They made our cake and desserts for our wedding. (We chose them because we love their sandwiches as well!) The menu was very customizable. We live out of state and it was extremely easy to plan with the help of their staff. Everyone raved about…
