"A little over $14 for a BLT sandwich and Chai Latte (I like mine with a shot of espresso, which I 'm sure was a little upcharge . This was my first time ordering from here. I was in and out, can 't speak to the ambience of the place. But... The barista today did me a solid, and I 'm forever grateful for that. Wish I caught their name, but give em a raise! FOOD I asked for the multi grain bread on the BLT, and wasn 't really sure what to expect cus I 've never had Iggy 's multigrain before (I 'm low key obsessed with their ciabatta bread tho! but it was really good — if you 're a fan of true grain breads. The crunchy kind. Whatever condiment they put on the BLT is a mystery to me, but they put just the right amount of spread on it. Not too thick, not squishing out the sides when you take a bite. Just enough. And it amps up the umami, elevating it from your typical, bland BLT. DRINK Be aware that they don 't have a large coffee menu. They 're pretty bare bones as far as coffee goes. Don 't expect to get any fancy flavors like mint chip julip pomegranate with avocado foam and a pump of apple crisp flavor. No. None of that. There are photos of their menu posted on here, I suggest taking a close look at the coffee hot drinks board before making the trip. The Chai latte (hot with a shot of espresso was delicious in my opinion. No added cream or sugar necessary. I mean it helps when you start with a GOOD CHAI, and I felt they started with a good Chai. I didn 't find the espresso to be overpowering on the flavor either, but I 'm someone who enjoys a good strong coffee flavor. Each sip I could taste both, and it was lovely. NOTE You cannot order drinks over the phone from Simon 's. Must order in person (maybe you can order drinks thru Uber Eats/DoorDash tho, I haven 't looked"
