Samaria Cafe - Tampa

Great location. Wide-variety of food options, including healthy choices. My Crepe was delicious. My husband's eggs hash browns were cold, unfortunately. The coffee was delicious. The restaurant wasn't as clean as what we prefer, but tolerable. We receivednice-sized portions. Our server was excellent. A friendly cafe.

If you are in the area and don't stop here, you are missing out!!! We walked here from our hotel and it was a great walk to an even better destination. We were greeted outside where we sat down, I entered and the host gave me menus and told us someonewould be with us shortly. Our server which I wish I could remember his name was top notch, so present and happy. Once we orderedit took (in all seriousness) maybe 8 minutes to get our food. Fastest food service for freshly made fantastic food in all mylife. The potatoes were scorching and sandwiches the same! Yummy! I order the Cuban and haven't had one equivalent to what thisplace offers since I lived down in south FL. My husband ordered the Ruben and it must have been good bc I didn't even get ataste before it was gone. We will be back next time we are in town!

My family and I came here and everything was horrendous. The service was horrible, it took 30 minutes for me and my siblings to get coffee. But I?m not in the service industry so I figured hey maybe they?re just busy. Then again it shouldn?t take an hourplus for us to get food. Literally the table next to us had THREE groups of people come and go before we got our drinks, foodand check. We were seated at 11:30 and didn?t leave until 1:40 and none of us eat slow. I?ve never written a review before in mylife but that?s how bad this place was. Then when we asked to speak to manager Christine, instead of hearing out what we had tosay and take responsibility the way a manager should, she walked off on us while we were speaking to her. Didn?t even offer us adiscount or anything not even free coffees for how long it took. For all my Florida people you could have drove from Port St.Lucie to Tampa in the amount of time it took us to get seated to the point we ate and got our checks. By far the WORST diningexperience I?ve ever had to the point I actually have to leave a review which is something I never do wether it be positive ornegative. Then they forced a 18% gratuity on the bill which was completely outrageous. Not only will I ever come here again orany of my family I recommend NOBODY come here.

We are very picky when it comes to breakfast! We like salmon eggs Benedict, avocado toast, great coffee and we were afraid we wouldn?t find a place that has all that in Tampa. But this place is truly amazing! Delicious food! Definitely best breakfast inTampa and the location is very nice! Friendly staff) definitely recommend!

We visited the Tampa Art Museum and made a Saturday afternoon walk on the River Walk. Samaria Cafe was nearby and cheap. We ordered three pages from Ratatouille and a baguette for appetizers. Yum. My wife got the walnut, turkey and brie crepe, I got the philly cheese steak and housefruit, son #4 got the Monte Cristo Sandwich, son #3 got the bride fillet on a skill with fried egg above, and son #2 got the chicken Caesar salad. The chicken in the salad was a bit dry, but the other dishes were all very good. 5 stars more from a walkway dinner with indoor and walkway tables. Not as beautiful as another River Walk tariff, but a third of the price. We will try some of the other funny dishes again. Where else can you get Ratatouille?
