"Samaria seems like a fairly hidden gem for a solid diner-type breakfast in downtown Tampa. To my shock, there aren't a ton of spots nearby of this nature despite there being plenty of cafes and food trucks. Sometimes, you just want a solid' breakfast...without the need for bottomless drinks and vibes. If that's what you need, Samaria can be one or your go-to spots. I opted for a 3-egg omelet with spinach, onions, mushrooms, and feta with breakfast potatoes and what was *supposed* to be a small side of blueberry pancakes. The eggs were great - a little overcooked but still good. The potatoes were cooked to perfection but needed a little more salt. Again, still good. And the pancakes were solid - not amazing but absolutely solid and bigger than I thought they'd be. Service was great. They forgot my pancakes at first, but my server quickly and graciously corrected the mistake. Overall, if you want a basic diner breakfast, I'd recommend Samaria."

"We came here for a quick breakfast. The service was excellent! Food was pretty good. There is a lot of construction on the front of the area/sidewalk."

"When you go in looks like a quiet humble place, but the FOOD? Delicious... croissants great, California bowls amazing, French toast are delicious....loved it"

"We went there for Mother’s Day Brunch and luckily we made reservations ahead of time so we got in quickly when we came in. The place was packed! Coffee was NOT GOOD so I wouldn’t recommend it, but we ordered chocolate chip pancakes which were delicious, and a few other dishes. It took a while until the food got to us but that is probably because of Mother’s Day. Erik was our server and he was awesome!"

"Our service was awesome. He took good care of us. We had an outside table. Food was really good! The home fries were perfect. The watermelon lime juice was a perfect start to the day. Highly recommend!"
