About Simply Wholesome
Simply Wholesome is a health food restaurant and store that has served the Los Angeles community since the early 1980s, with the business specifically noting it has been open since 1984. Housed in a historical landmark, Simply Wholesome operates as both a sit-down restaurant and a retail store, offering tasty, nutritious food alongside a broader selection of wellness-oriented products. The business's motto, "Keeping You Looking Good and Feeling Good," reflects its dual focus on nutrition and personal care. In the store, customers can find a large selection of products made in America by small Black-owned independent manufacturers, hard-to-find natural haircare products, and unique, healthy beverages and tonics. The restaurant is also known for its patties. Simply Wholesome offers on-site nutritional counseling and information as part of its commitment to customer wellness, positioning itself as more than a typical restaurant or shop—it aims to be a resource for the community's health and lifestyle needs. The business describes itself as dedicated to promoting and celebrating cultural diversity while delivering exceptional customer service in a warm, comfortable setting, and it states that "more than quality, we produce results." The restaurant is not associated with third-party delivery services like Grubhub or Postmates; customers are directed to call the restaurant directly to place orders. Simply Wholesome also hosts community events, including patio gatherings, and offers catering with food and drink menus for private and corporate orders, requiring requests at least four to five business days in advance.
