At Simmer, it can be hard to offer a recommendation more specific than "soup." That's because this broth-based business changes its offerings every day. But the Journal Sentinel recommends diners try a meat-free soup. "Simmer has found a niche with its vegetarian and vegan offerings," the newspaper says, "including tomato basil bisque, broccoli cheddar and a particularly satisfying mushroom-quinoa soup in mushroom stock."

Menu options not designed for slurping with a spoon include omelets and sandwiches at breakfast, a handful of paninis and salads at lunch, and a variety of coffeehouse drinks.
