    Today I was on a mission to find the best pita bread, hummus, olive oil, olives and zaatar to try and re-create the wonderful flavors the wife and I had at Chef Yousef's restaurant The Olive Tree. Success!! My 1st stop was Sami's Bakery. I've noticed it several times when traveling past Busch Gardens. I stopped in and it is a small shop specializing in healthy bread options, many of which are made from millet. I was happy to cross 2 items off my list. Best pita bread and best hummus. I ended up with a Roasted Red Pepper Hummus that was delicious and creamy. A regular Hummus that was off the charts good! Every time I taste it my eyes roll back in my head, best ever! The pita bread was also top shelf, very soft and pliable. I also got a couple guava pastries, one with cheese, that were better than the ones I get at the latino bakeries. Flaky, tasty, fluffy and the perfect amount of sweetness. There was a Spinach and Cheese Pie that I did not like, but that doesn't mean it was not good, I am unaccustomed to it and could not say. Lastly, I tried the Pistachio Baklava and the Walnut Baklava. Both were very sticky and very sweet. Having just had the same thing days earlier at Bekdash, I did not like this one as much. It was very good though, just too sweet for my "old man" tastes. The hummus, the pita and the guava pastries ensure my return to the bakery. I also plan on adding millet bread to my diet for health reasons. The lady there was nice and helpful and there is a nice variety of healthy options like chips and cookies I must try. Plenty of parking in front and on the side, right near Busch Gardens. Highly recommend it. Come get ya' some!

    Best place I have found to purchase Tabouli in Tampa. Great little shop.

    Sami's main draw are the baked goods which are all prepared in-house. They ship all over the country and it is a huge operation. You may find their items at your local grocery store. They have a small store front where you may purchase their goods. They offer vegan and gluten free products as well. They have a strong following and are known for their quality. I come here for the tabouli, red pepper hummus and pita bread. The tabouli has a tremendous flavor and is made without bulgar. The hummus is nice and is not overpowered by garlic, which I find many are. You can make a nice light sandwich with these items. Sometimes I add feta cheese to this and lettuce. Simple and delish.

    Yesterday, my girlfriend and I did a bakery tour of Tampa. We hit a few well known spots and some lesser known spots, seven total. This is a warning that 7 short reviews are coming in about the local bakeries we visited. The first spot we hit was Sami's Bakery. I would describe this as a middle eastern bakery that offers traditional and vegan breads and pastries. We arrived a little late, so most of the pastries were gone. We picked up a chocolate covered baklava, tzatziki sauce, grape leaves, and a warm cheese bread fresh out of the oven. Everything we had was very tasty and they were very friendly. There was one table outside that we stood at and enjoyed our food. You can find a lot of there items in local stores.

    I've drove pass this bakery numerous times with the intent of stopping in one day to check it out. My friend told me about this bakery that cater to those who may have a gluten allergy, looking for low carb breads or watching calories. This is the bakery for all those things! Super happy to find so many choices for my gluten allergy life! I paid a total of $18 with a purchase of 5 different items. They also have Tabouli that do not have Bulgar in the recipe which is a huge plus for me! It was delicious There is refrigerated section for gluten free muffins, brownies and cheesecake. What!? Also have a glass booth full of fresh baked items that was reasonably priced. The checkout lady(didn't get her name) for sweet and patient. My go to bakery to fulfilled my once in while cravings!

    All kinds of gluten free chips and other natural foods

    So my family is really trying to watch our carb intake and one of the main ways to do it is to watch how much bread you're consuming. All the bread at the local markets and bakeries are full of sugars, like 20 carbs in one slice, that's a lot! Enter Sami's Baker!! All of their products are fresh and homemade and as this is my second time trying them out, I knew exactly what I wanted and to expand my tastes by trying some of their other items. Definitely try their cinnamon raisin bread! I was skeptical because I like raisins but not a lot of them in my bread, quoting the owner, "you're fortunate to get more than three raisins in the whole loaf"... SOLD!!! And his statement is true. Great tasting bread without an unreal amount of raisins. Which means you don't have to worry about being shortchanged when eating your Raisin Bran, lol! This bread is wholesome, fresh and good for you! At 3g of sugar in a single slice of cinnamon raising bread (subtracting the 8g of dietary fiber) And 2 grams in the regular bread, this is so much what my family as been looking for. From now on, ALL our bread and baked goods are coming from Sami's!!

    The pizza crust is very delicious and if you're doing low carb or Keto, infinitely better than fathead crust.

I went for a…read moreYelp event a while back, and it reminded me just how good their desserts are, so when my friend and I wanted dessert to finish off my birthday celebration, coming here was obvious. The women behind the counter were helpful and friendly. When I asked for opinions and suggestions, they had plenty based on my likes, and in no time at all, I had a warmed up incredibly rich and delicious Magic Toffee Bar in front of me. So crazy good, I could only eat 1/3 of it, but it made for a delightful treat the next day too. The description of it is as follows: buttery Graham cracker crust with milk, dark, and white chocolate chips, bits of toffee, and topped with coconut. I also highly recommend taking a treat or two from their samples jar. Their toffee is clearly the best in the world, and every bite is a treat. If you're looking for the perfect holiday gift - look no further than their toffee. They have their own parking lot, which is always a bonus in this part of town, and inside was clean and bright, with plenty of seating, and free glasses of water.

The cake slice I tried was unfortunately on the dry side, but when staff checked in and I mentioned it, they immediately offered to let me pick out a replacement, completely unprompted. That kind of hospitality goes a long way. Friendly team all around and I'd come back just for those pie bars!

Originally went on a Monday only to be disappointed because they were closed. So we went back on Tuesday. We were the only customers and greeted as soon as we walked in. She asked how we learned about them which I obviously explained that I found her on Yelp and then we got to talking about events and all sorts of Yelp stuff. We opted for the 18 count of cupcakes and just had her give us a variety of each. I ended up having 2 for myself-- the hot fudge sundae and the fudge brownie. I love that these aren't huge so it's just enough for you sweet tooth! Both of these were delicious!! I think I enjoyed the hot fudge more. The other thing I love is that they are not overly sweet and the icing is perfect I'm usually the one that scrapes off icing because it's too sweet however not these. My staff loved them! My only drawback here was they didn't take Amex abs she couldn't give an itemized receipt so keep that in mind since my corporate card is Amex and I have to have the itemized receipt to claim for refund. Soo I just paid out of pocket. Will I return....ummm heck yea!!
