Met up with a friend downtown and chose this spot for a quick Friday lunch.With the waitress's recommendation, I went for the crepes--no hesitation! And look how pretty they were! The fresh strawberries paired perfectly with the sweet cream, all wrapped in soft, delicate crepes. Perfection!My friend, on the other hand, went the healthy route with a veggie egg roll and tomatoes on the side--definitely too healthy for me!You can sit inside or outside, and the staff brings you hot coffee and cold water to start your meal off right. A cozy, relaxing spot for a casual lunch!

Visited Samaria for the first time today with some out of town friends and loved our experience. This is a casual, no-frills (and VERY REASONABLY PRICED) restaurant located in the heart of downtown Tampa. We partially came to party and almost started paying $8 per mimosa, and then we learned that we could just buy a bottle of Andre champagne and that would satisfy our table's needs...and boy, it did!I had the avocado toast (not pictured) and a traditional breakfast with two fried eggs over hard, two slices of bacon, and hashbrowns that were delightful once I added a little bit of salt. What I really loved about our visit is how many juice options they have for mimosas. We enjoyed passionfruit and mango but there were a ton more options. Our server (whose name I don't have because I didn't pay the bill) was amazing. He was knowledgeable and attentive, what more could you ask for?! Oh, and they have adorable mechanical colored pencils for the kids! I'm a teacher so I appreciate the attention to the kids! Would definitely recommend Samaria and would definitely return if I find myself in the downtown area.

I'm actually late on this review as we ate here after the Hot Chocolate Run. Service was good and the food was decent. My avocado toast pretty good with scrambled eggs and bacon. Bacon is meh. Hubbs had the omelet and hashbrowns. He said it was all pretty good also but I'm not sure how he'd know based on the amount of ketchup on the items lol. My big issue is cleanliness. One of the fortunate things that happened in restaurants during covid was all salt and peppers, along with caddys or any bottles were pulled between patrons and cleaned. Now a days, it's hit or miss with places ensuring these items are wiped down. This place was a miss. The bigger impression I got is the place is old and they have not updated anything. The menus are falling apart and dirty. I'd go back if I had others who wanted to go, bc the food was decent and service was good. But I'd like to see them do some of the deep cleaning.

I visited Samaria Café with co-workers for lunch earlier this week and had a nice experience. I ordered the Chicken Pesto Sandwich. A soft bun was filled with tender chicken, gooey provolone, flavorful garlicy pesto, juicy tomato and spinach. The side of fries were nicely crisp.

I work nearby and it's safe to say this is my favorite breakfast spot downtown. I've visited a few times now and they are always consistent! The food, the service & the ambiance is unmatched! I've eaten inside and outside and both are a vibe.My favorite dish is the gyro omelette. It comes with a generous amount of meat and lots of feta cheese which I love! The ratatouille is also amazing and flavorful. They have fresh pressed juices which are refreshing and tasty not to mention a variety of coffee drinks there's something for everyone no matter you like your coffee!

Myself and a few friends stopped in for lunch. We each ordered something different : omelette, Cuban, croissant, standard sausage/egg breakfast. The consensus from the group ranged from loved it to hoping to not get sick later. I can only speak for me but the others in between, they felt the food was just mediocre and probably wouldn't return. I had some concerns with the color of the eggs and meats. The eggs were darker, overcooked outside, coldish inside. The bacon color was off (which I didn't photograph) and was kind of a dull color and super salty, barely smelled of bacon - it was weird. Sausage links I'm 95% sure were undercooked. They had a slight crisp without color on the outside and the texture was just wrong on the inside (wish me luck). The best part of my dish was the grits which didn't look great but were definitely loaded with butter and actually tasted pretty good. Coffee was dark and not the worst. Server was nice and attentive, topped off drinks without needing to look for her.

Great location, amazing waiter, a lot of variety in the menu, but the place itself could use a revamp and good cleaning. I had a veggie omelet with potatoes, my daughter had the avocado toast and my son had the chicken and waffles. They also had a mango smoothie and strawberry smoothie and enjoyed those best. The waffle my son ate, had a piece of plastic in it so the waiter took it back to replace it. When it came back there was some kind of fuzz all over the waffles, We mentioned it but didn't make a fuss about it and no discount was made. The chicken was also over cooked a bit. The rating is simply for the waiter who was so attentive and personable. Everything else would have gotten a 2.

Place was nice and clean, friendly staff, and they had great music playing while eating. The prices are not too bad. Make sure you come with an appetite portions are kind of big.

Food and service were good here! Had an eggs Benedict, a pesto panini, and the "viral croissant". You MUST get a croissant while here! Our croissant filled with cookie dough was the star of the show.
