The service provided Megan was excellent. She was extremely friendly and very patient as we needed to move after being seated in order in find a table further from the entrance. Thank you, Megan! The food was delicious although it arrived a little cold. In terms of atmosphere, this is where they could make some improvements. We found the place quite cold, especially near the main entrance where the cold air would blow in each time people entered and exited. Still, I would come back although I may need to bring a sweater. Thank you, everyone, for your hospitality. 🥰

Ashley was our server and she is exceptional! We've had been served by her in the past and she is amazing. Super attentive and always checking in throughout the meal topping up drinks and making sure we have everything we need. Pur and simples food never disappoints and will always be one of my favorite brunch spots.

We really enjoy the Penhorn location for Pur & Simple. It's just better than the Young and Dartmouth Crossing locations. Staff was on it. Not only checking in often, other servers were clearing our plates and filling up coffee and water. All around teamwork and the meals were fantastic. It was busy, but not waiting outside the door busy. We were seated right away, and we're taken care of.

It was our first time at the Portland Street location and we were very pleased with the service and food! The food came in under 10 minutes, quicker than any other location has ever done! Roberta was our server and she had excellent customer service, always checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. They forgot to put the sausage on one of our plates and she was apologetic and fixed it no problem. Will definitely be back to this location simply for the service!

EXCELLENT FOOD & SERVICE! We went for my husband’s birthday breakfast and we’re not disappointed. The waitress was extremely friendly and quick. When she overheard that it was my husband’s birthday (we didn’t even mention it to her directly) she brought him a slice of waffle with Nutella, banana and a sparkler. All the food was amazing and drinks were delicious!! It’s safe to say you pay a bit more but get every dollars worth!

Every time I go to pure and simple the food is amazing. But today I went and was really disappointed. I got the Chicago eggs Benedict with spicy holiday sauce and I requested that I wanted my eggs hard poached instead of soft. They gave me two hard boiled eggs still in the shell which were to hot to crack open. The sauce wasn t there spicy hollandaise sauce. The home fries were close to cold. The presentation wasn t great and my order was a bit messed up. The service is always nice when I go in though.
