Today, I got my fix fixed. This delish place sits on the corner of Woodman and Ventura. I normally get my coffee and Napoleon in the morning. This time I'm having lunch. I ordered a Chicken Pesto Panini, Lentil Soup and a Flourless Almond Pear Cake. While I was paying for my order, I noticed a silver fox standing impatiently behind me. Apparently, she left her credit card and was nervous about getting it back. The server (Julia) calmed her quickly and told the woman, "When I found your card, I immediately put it away until its owner returned." This told me that not only can you get scrumptious food here, but you can also get honesty and integrity. This stellar eating spot cannot be beat! Next time you're hungry and in the area, stop by Samos. You'll be glad you did!!

I have been coming to Samos almost everyday, the chef, ambience, and taste of the menus are so good. The chef always tries to create new menus and everything tastes delicious. The waitresses are very kind and professional. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a good cafe to eat very good food. They are also dog friendly inside :)

I have ordered lunch and dessert here many times and have always been absolutely pleased. Recently, I decided to try their breakfast items, and I'm so glad I did. As always, the service was friendly, personable, and welcoming. Feeling adventurous, I tried traditional Armenian breakfast items for the very first time: the Shakshuka and Ajarski Khachapuri. The Shakshuka was served hot in an iron pan, bursting with rich flavors and topped with two perfectly cooked sunny-side-up eggs. The Ajarski Khachapuri was cheesy, doughy, creamy, and absolutely indulgent. We added an egg and bacon, which elevated the dish even further. We also ordered the Breakfast Platter, which included pancakes, an egg, fruit, and bacon (substituted for sausage). Unfortunately, the pancakes didn't meet our expectations in taste or texture, and overall, the price didn't match the value of what was served. Additionally, we added an extra egg ($3) and two toasts ($2) to our order.

We came in on a Saturday afternoon and decided to get some brunch! The indoors is beautiful, really makes the ambience feel elevated. We were helped by a very kind gentleman. He was attentive throughout our meal and took our order. He even threw in complimentary coffee cookies because our drink order took about 10 minutes. We got the ajarski with sujuk and the croissant French toast. Both were delightful and portions were large, we had leftovers. The iced tahini latte was also very yummy. We will definitely be back to try more of their dishes!

Great Food, great service, extensive menu, plenty of seating and a to-go counter. We enjoyed many yummy breakfast and lunch dishes. Know that there is only street meter parking. The gender nuetral restrooms were clean. This place can get very busy. We were able to be seated quickly as we were in between the breakfast and lunch crowds. The serve carafe's of cucumber water. There is an extensive beverage menu as well. The falafel plate was deliscious especially the hummus and dill dip. The avacado toast is wonderful and the bacon was crispy. Who doesn't want to add crispy bacon to any breakfast order?
