The place was packed. Had to wait to pull in because valet was backed up. Usually when places are this busy you know they’re good. Enjoyed every item that came out. Everyone loved the bread basket. They have a good espresso martini. We got the baklava coffee cake to go and it was delicious.

A Tampa relic. This place is a solid 5 stars. We started with Baklava Cappuccinos. These were great. Not too sweet, just right. We also got the treis dip. The tzatziki and favosalata hummus were our favorite of the three. My girlfriend got the Greek dip chicken sandwich. Which was packed with flavor and was a large portion. The star of the show was the lamb pita. The house made pita was warm and fluffy.The best pita we’ve had. The lamb was juicy and flavorful. It was by far the best pita we’ve had of many. I was so impressed with the service, food and environment. All the ingredients are high quality and you can taste the difference. You won’t be disappointed.

We arrived without a reservation at 11:00 a.m. today to celebrate Women’s Day, and we were pleased to be attended to by Molly. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and recommend this place for special brunch occasions. In honor of my sister's birthday, we enjoyed the complimentary coffee cake baklava, which was delightful! Thank you to the entire team for making our visit memorable, and happy Women’s Day to all of you!

This was my second visit here and both times I’ve come has been extremely busy where I was only able to get bar sitting, so keep in mind it might be recommended to get a reservation even on a regular weekday at a regular time. Parking is limited there is valet parking but if you drive a little bit further up the street there is a parking lot available. It’s residential so don’t park in peoples yards. Everything bagel is probably one of the best ones I’ve ever had just because of the coverage of toppings on it and the generous amount of cream cheese they give you. Definitely interested in trying other menu items however, I will say both times that I’ve come here the service takes a while to get helped, at least at the bar. They have a lot of menu items to choose from and really beautiful aesthetic drinks as well.

Psomi is an amazing place for breakfast/lunch! They are famous for their homemade breads and it does not disappoint. We started with the bread basket. Each bread was so Delicious. We ordered the Greek dip and the chicken souvlaki as entrees. The Greek dip is a must order!!! Oh it was so good. I will be returning just for it. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was laid back. Great spot for brunch!

So let me tell you about this amazing place, first of all I was surprised by my Husband on Valentine's Day for a morning breakfast. If you are into unique places to eat and want something different for breakfast and you like greek food, this will be your place. The atmosphere was amazing,we sat outside , the place beautifully designed with Greek culture and beautiful designs. Me and my Husband had the bagel breakfast, the breakfast bread basket, lavender coffee and baklava coffee. Everything was great, the coffees were strong, the espresso punched through very strong,but my favorite was the lavender flavor. The bacon on the sandwich was excellent, we had a chance to talk to the manager/chef and she explained the delicate process of how they prepare such great bacon, the eggs beautiful,buttery,fluffy and cheese flavored filled. The bagel, what can I say, if you see the pics you will know it's everything. If you're into dips, grab the kalamata olive aioli and the garlic aioli,they come with your fries for dipping,these were exceptional,but my favorite was the olive,I can imagine it on a sandwich and it will blow it away. The other cool thing is that there is a Greek shop right next to the restaurant, when you go inside you can purchase items you may have had at the restaurant or enjoy home items to purchase. All in all this restaurant is a 5star in my books and we will definitely be back and continue to recommend to all. Keep bringing the authentic taste to Tampa.

I’ve been multiple times and each time the food is top notch. This particular time I tried the octopus salad with feta. It was a huge portion and fantastic. It tasted so fresh and clean and flavorful. Heads-up, it’s a little pricey, but the value is there for the food and service.

This restaurant truly impressed me with its exceptional services. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s rare to find businesses that genuinely care about their customers and go the extra mile to make them feel special. This restaurant exceeded my expectations, especially when I visited to celebrate a birthday. The food was delectable, cooked to perfection, and made with high-quality ingredients. The service was equally impressive, with attentive staff who made sure our every need was met. The restaurant’s beautiful location adds to its charm, providing a unique and inviting atmosphere. Reservations are highly recommended to ensure a table during peak hours.
