Simply Panini
1135 Broadway, Tacoma, WA
Crema's Take
“This cozy Tacoma spot punches above its weight as a casual meeting place where skilled baristas craft traditional espresso drinks alongside genuinely delicious paninis that clearly get the attention they deserve. The tight-but-charming interior spills into a covered entryway with seating, making it feel intimate rather than cramped, and reviewers consistently praise both the coffee expertise and the care put into breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Simply Panini hits that sweet spot of being approachable for a quick caffeine-and-bite grab while still delivering enough quality to make you want to linger and chat.”

Just had breakfast from Simply Panini and everything was great *except* why would you use died green filler sauce and call it pesto? Pesto is olive oil, basil, garlic, and a nut element that could be skipped… so simple and delicious! It could even be mixed with mayo in the right proportions and be good. This sauce was an immediate red flag when I opened the container and it barely tastes like anything. The early bird breakfast sandwich would be so much better with a sauce made from real food.
Delicious as a coffee/tea bar and for a brunch/lunch!! Barista is skilled, amazing customer service, the sandwiches were DELICIOUS. 10/10 would recommend
The paninis here are really good, and the coffee goes great with them. Having breakfast here is such a pleasure.
Cute little cafe with great coffee drinks and sandwiches. There's not much room inside to sit, but they have several tables in a covered entryway. The menu has several sandwich options and the breakfast options we had were surprisingly large. My boys would have been happy to split the special.
Came here yesterday and my experience was great. It’s a relatively small cafe but they have a decent size menu. I order the Turkey Panini with avocado and the berry mixed smoothie. The Panini was soooo delicious! Probably one of the best I’ve ever had. The smoothie was also extremely delicious. I would definitely return!
