Simple Things Sandwich & Pie Shop

After attending the super fun and inspiring UniqueLA vendor meeting Sunday morning, we stopped by simple things sandwich & pie shop for lunch. Off of West 3rd, simple things is such a great little getaway from the hustle and bustle. The calm atmosphere and friendly staff brought about great ambiance and a very yummy meal.


Daily pies on display/the reason I wanted to stop by simple things. The pies come in three sizes: big pie, simple pie, and cutie pie :) All perfect for you, or two or more friends.


The menu is full of great options and expands beyond pie! Husband got the blueberry french toast. Absolutely delicious. I think he ate this in 5 minutes.


My half a pulled chicken sandwich in a pretzel roll (hello, yum!) and half a cobb salad. I'm so glad I got a half and half because it gave me the option of trying 2 things at once.


And finally, goodness in little tins. Pies above are salted caramel, key lime, blueberry (with amazing crumble topping), Missouri mud with a melted peep on top! All absolutely scrumptious and served at the perfect temperature. The cutie pie size is just perfect for sampling all of their flavors. We shared five cutie pies among four people and were all quite satisfied at the end.

If you are in the area, you must stop by simple things :)
