The Simple Life Concordia: Reviews & Ratings
I love this place! There is so much to do. One can shop around while waiting for food. Or on cold winter days sit next to the fireplace.
Great place! Local jams,jellies,honey,pecans... Beautiful antiques, quilts ... Enjoyed strolling through the shop. Then a delicious chai tea, and breakfast sandwich.
Food was great and service was awesome! We were visiting from AZ and my daughter works nearby so we met during her lunchtime and shopped in the antique shop that is there. Never felt rushed. Delicious peanut butter cake! So glad we went.
Great owner and her sister was a great waitress! Plus there was homemade grasshopper cake!
All 24 participants at a Concordia family reunion visited The Simple Life during our stay in town. Its very “country” and rustic offering a relaxing atmosphere. Entrance is through an antique store that offers a collection of treasures from days gone by. Next to these is a small room with local “provisions”, including jams, summer sausage, honey, apple butter, trail mix and other goodies to nosch on during the trip home.
I needed somewhere to have a phone appointment while traveling. Such a cute place. The service was amazing. Food was very good too! It's not a stop for a quiet call... it is too popular (busy) and there were 20 others there. That's a testimony to how good it is overall.
The food & drinks were delicious! Everything was fresh and homemade. Atmosphere is amazing with tan open Antique shop with which adds to the decor. I can't wait to return for my next visit. If you visit to shop & eat, you wont regret it. Lunch ends at 2pm so arrive earlier.
We were traveling through on our way to Kentucky and just wanted a great cup of coffee. We were welcomed in with a smile. Kids loved looking around at the antiques. The espresso drink I had was fabulous. A wonderful little stop for us on our long journey.
