Met my friend for a quick bite to eat and Amara's so so good. Had a basic breakfast but their lattes are amazing!!!! I didn't realize they were Venezuelan and used south american chocolate - which is why my coffee was so dang good!

I'm here just for the venezuelan iced chocolate, so this probably not a full review of everything they have. The place is a small cafe so seats are limited. They have outside seating as well. Service was pretty fast, and if you order takeout you don't have to crowd the room waiting for your order as they will come out and yell for your name. Iced chocolate though, is amazing. It felt like if you jab a straw on a quality chocolate bar: tastes fully chocolatey, like drinking a literal chocolate bar. Usually when you ordered an iced chocolate, you'd push your straw deep to the bottom to taste the chocolate BEFORE the ice diluted it. This one's the opposite. I actually had to pull the straw towards the top to acclimate myself through the slightly ice-diluted part then, while stirring a bit, work my way down. First world problem, indeed. But it was an absolute delight. An iced chocolate drink that you can literally chew (this is an exaggeration, there's nothing to chew here. It's all just thick, creamy, rich chocolate goodness). And all at the price of normal boba! Yeah I know i've seen bobas cost more than this. I need to come again for some croissant and hot chocolate.

The place was cute, friendly service and yummy food. Their avocado toast was fantastic. I also loved their dark chocolate cortado. Their churros were yummy, but pretty pricey. Seating is easy if you're a small party, but it's a bit challenging if you're more than 4 people.

Our favorite place to enjoy a hot chocolate or sipping chocolate; wonderful menu with great breakfast and lunch food.

Heartiest chocolate drink you'll find around. Small, quaint and delicious. Great staff, super friendly and patient as there are too many good choices.

Wow! I had a such a great experience here. The food felt so authentic like if I was eating at someone's house. I got their breakfast plate the Galipan Cachapa which was so delicious and fresh. I also ordered their mocha latte but the spiced Aztec version which I really enjoyed. I didn't know what to expect with the spice but it worked out. My friend ordered the churros which I have to say they were a little dry but the chocolate and caramel made it taste good. I was so impressed with how quick the service was considering how crowded it was. We thought we were gonna wait a while to get our food but we waited in line, ordered and waited about 15 min. We also found a spot really fast and the restaurant is pretty small. There's a parking garage right next door so that's convenient. I would love to come back. I had a great time!

Delicious and never lets you down! I ordered their breakfast burrito on a hurry and didn't stay to eat, but if I could've I would have. I've been here many times and their churros are always number one on my list. The restaurant is both inside and outside, so dog friendly! And the staff are kind and sweet and always helpful!

Return for a quick late lunch bite, and once again was not disappointed lol. The Aztec mocha coffee was a wonderful blend of spaces, flavorful, chocolate and strong coffee. In addition, a chicken pesto mozzarella sandwich provided a well-rounded, juicy and at the same time crunchy, very delicious afternoon lunch PREVIOUS REVIEW One of the best, if not the bestest coffee I had in a long time. There is too much starbucky mediocrity taking over where everything across each respective store across the globe tastes precisely the same. But fasten your seatbelts for Amara - such a full aroma and smooth texture ... that with closed eyes, you'll be carried into other senses and travel to far countries, until reality catches up when the cup is empty!! Aztec and Amara Latte are splendid. BTW there are - not to mention - also wonderful bites (eg empanadas) to eat, too many to list

I haven't been here in years and did not know they are now a brunch restaurant. We were hungry after a 5K at the Rose Bowl and needed to refuel. Churros for breakfast? Why not?! I got the Pasadena set which is 2 churros, dulce de leche dip, and a small cappuccino. Since hubby was hungry I let him order the rest. We shared: 2 empanadas - 1 spinach and 1 chicken Spanish burrito - which has cheese, eggs, chorizo, and I love the roasted veggies. This burrito felt really light, it was not heavy at all considering all the ingredients. Queso y Nata arepa - which has gouda cheese and tomato and we added turkey and avocados. I thought we couldn't finish but it was so delicious and all the plates were cleaned. Thanks so much to the kind waiter who seated us at an outdoor table, brought us our food, and refilled our water. He was the most kind and happy worker and we will definitely visit again soon.
