This place made me wish that I lived in Bowie! The food was all farm to table- fresh, home-cooked style fare that changes with what is in season. Their icecream was decadent, as was the lemon mascarpone cake. The quaint surroundings, settled in a house turned cafe and antique store are perfection with the family style welcome and kindness we received from the owners. Truly a highlight of my entire visit to the D.C. area!

I love Simple Pleasures! It's an old fashioned ice cream shop that has special meal events once a month or more. I really like the various ice cream flavors that are a bit different - stracciatella , apple dapple, chocolate thunder, and banana pudding to name a few.

If you are from the south, and if you are older like me, you will find the ambiance of this location very nastalgent. It was like going back to my youth with the creaking floors, antique plates on the wall. You don't have to be old though to enjoy the food. It is very well prepared and the ice cream was hand made. This mother and daughter team make all the food and it is delicious. At the end I was looking for where to put my dishes like I was at a family members house. It sucks you in. So go.

Loved the eclectic decor. The owners were awesome and the ice cream and baked cherry pie was delicious. We'll be back. Great Saturday night hidden treasure.
