Hands down this has to be one of the best places in Baton Rouge for breakfast! I love the casualness of this place. You place your order, get a number and find a seat. We came early so tables were available but this place gets busy quickly.
PROS: Everything! Atmosphere, music, food and staff are all awesome. Don’t skip the grits! They have to be the best I’ve ever had. Creamy and perfectly salted. I love that they offer smoked sausage as a meat option. It was tasty! Seriously this was a very tasty and satisfying meal. We left stuffed and happy!
CONS: None with the exception you may have to wait for a table but everything moves quickly.
Make sure to check out the local art that’s for sale on the walls. I have my eye on a few pieces. Can’t wait to return.

I had the shrimp and grits with a single side of French toast, Which was delicious!!
I couldn’t finish this all alone it was so filling.
From the moment you enter you are greeted by a very nice looking man, and once you order you grab a table they’ll bring your plate to you after you order at register.
I went on a Sunday and I went about 10am ,I think if I would’ve waited any longer then I for sure would’ve caught the rush.
The place gets packed!! Understandingly.
I will for sure go back Tuesday before I head back home.
Update: Had to come a second time before heading back home and it was even better!!! Minus the skillets not working so no pancakes, but I was still satisfied.
Why can't all the good restaurants be close to home😭😭

This was a real treat. Last minute decision to go here. One big reason was because they were open early. I’m a vegan and I was able to order a filling breakfast. My sis had the quinoa with fruit and homemade granola. She said the grits were nice and creamy like our grandfather’s. Owner was very pleasant and brought us our food. Food was reasonable priced. Definitely will return. Thanks!

We've been to this restaurant a few times now, and it's great. You have to know what you're getting though, so tame your expectations. This is more of a breakfast spot, less of a brunch spot. They've got eggs, bacon pancakes, and coffee. You order at a counter and then go sit down and they bring you your food. No frills. But what they do, they do very well. Eggs are cooked perfectly, grits are salty and creamy, coffee is strong. The only issue is sometimes the wait is long, but that's not their fault because they move people in and out quickly. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

We are traveling through Louisiana and stopped to have breakfast. Love the atmosphere here. Love how u order upfront get ur own coffee. You eat get up and walk out…. Now about the service, everyone was great. Always walking around making sure everyone is good and happy. The food… I can’t say enough about the food. It was so good and filled us up. Thank you Simple Joe’s for the experience…

Simple Joe Cafe for breakfast did not disappoint. Bagels and lox for brunch a great menu option. In the area you must try this home town favorite. The wait was worth the time.

OMG my experience was HORRIBLE !!! soo this was my first time trying this place so I ordered the French Toast Breakfast, according to the menu online it was suppose to come with three pieces of French toast and also powdered sugar on the top.
Below is what I received, it reminded me of a breakfast In the hospital. I never had French toast that was both soggy and dry and tasted like raw egg yolk, it’s nothing good I can say about this breakfast.
I drove far to try this place it was a huge disappointment and I don’t recommend. Attached is a photo of the breakfast huge DISGRACE!!

From the food to the service, everything is exceptional. Don’t bother seasoning your grits because they are already plenty seasoned on the first bite. The cinnamon roll is warm and fluffy and the cream cheese frosting is perfect. The bacon is salty, crispy and smoky. Even the omelet was fantastic with just sausage peppers and green onions. This food is delectable. My first meal and my first time visiting Baton Rouge did not disappoint.

I rarely write reviews, so I have to say this before I eat my last bite of the pancakes…the number 5 is and was definitely one of the best things I’ve spent my money on. Definitely worth it. This place is now a go to. Funny thing about the pancakes tho..I was driving away when I then saw my cashier running in the distance after my car. Apparently, my pancakes were missing from my plate and he RAN to get them to me. Amazing. I’m mad I didn’t tip. Do yourself a favor and tip them. Trust me.
