Samovar Tea Lounge - Yerba Buena Gardens

The food is spectacular! The view sublime. What more could one ask of an experience.

Great spot for some delicious cold breakfast! A little pricy, but considering it’s a Michelin star chef it’s totally worth it! Great gluten free options too! Grab a bite and some tea and then check out the beautiful words at the MLKJ memorial water feature.

Great location, ambiance, and views. Our waitress was friendly and offered excellent tea recommendations. Food was great and I'd definitely go again. I'd love to try more of their teas.

Renewed my love for French toast, and their chai tea was really great too. Next time I'll have to get boba.

Love this tea shop! Definetly try there Chai tea with oat milk. The pastries where fresh and delicious. The view of the park and skyline phenomenal! Will be back.

Top notch food, well made, great looking and absolutely delicious! Absolutele 10 out of 10.Great view from the restaurant terrace as well!Good selection of tea as well.The only issue I had once with rude and inattentive staff.Overall, great place.

You will love Samovar if you like eating in a garden with a beautiful view, aren’t price conscious and aren’t in a hurry. Pros: food is interesting, healthy, and there are many vegetarian options. The service, when it comes, is always good. And the atmosphere is very chill.Cons: The service can be slow, and you are paying for the location by slightly overpriced food.

This place is so cute and in such a nice location that I would definitely come again! We had a party of 4 and were seated immediately at 3 pm on a Friday afternoon. Food: We got the iron goddess of mercy and the mochi platter and the scone platter. The tea pots are a good value because you can keep filling up the pot with hot water and it lasts the whole meal! The mochi platter was the star of the meal and definitely a really nice unique dish! It had a good amount to share for 4 people and a chewy flakey consistency. The scones were also good to share and the strawberry jam and honey were my favorite! Service: Definitely really good and the waiter kept coming around to refill our hot water! Ambiance: A really nice place to chill and catch up with friends! We liked the outdoor seating facing the water.Overall would come again!

The first time we came, we ordered 2 cocktails and brunch food. Our brunch food made it out at different times, eventually one of us got their cocktail. I asked for mine multiple times and the staff was rude about helping me get it (it was always "not my problem" "not my table" "check with someone else"). I ate my meal slowly hoping my cocktail would get to me before I finished...it did not. Second experience, the waitress we got was nice but the drink selections were limited (alcohol permit issues). Not going back a third time.

Pricing to high compared to the quality. If ordering egg Benedict i do not expect that they are cold. Also no real smoked salmon even they said on menu. Just normal boiled one as i know from shops where u find it in the freezer.
