What People Are Saying About Samovar Tea Lounge
Featured Review

In Short – A serene Eastern vibe prevails at this elegant, low-key lounge with large glass walls looking out over Yerba Buena Gardens. Staff here takes tea seriously -- the extensive menu offers rare picks like 1993 cultivated menghal select leaves -- but service is as friendly and unpretentious as it comes. Light bites include tea-infused dishes like ginger tofu tea soup and green tea mousse along with curry egg salad sandwiches, edamame with toasted seaweed and rice bowls.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- The charming, off-the-beaten-path location can be difficult to find. Climb the steps up to the second-level veranda and look for signage. The teahouse is located on the southern side of the gardens.
