    I loved it here! This cafe has a beautiful atmosphere with plenty of daylight and seating to study/work or hang out. I got the Amore Latte and Strawberry Matcha -- both were excellent! These drinks were well balanced and not too sweet. The amore latte has blue spirulina in it which is what caught my eye. The mixed berry croissant is not in this photo but we tried that too and 10/10!!!

    I was greeted nicely and I asked for a black iced tea with light ice. The server was very sweet and made sure they had some and then told me it ws $7.55 for a 20oz iced tea. What the heck? Almost 8 bucks for pre-made iced tea?!?!?!!!! Well. I used to like this place but that is the definition of highway robbery.

    Strawberry + Honey Crêpe
    Rachel D.

    Haven't written a review in a while, but this one is well deserved. Ireland rang us up and confidently said it was the best crepe they've ever made and they were absolutely right. It was delicious! They were running the show completely on their own, which was impressive. We also tried the crème brûlée iced coffee and it was a solid 10/10. Can't wait to come back!

    This was a pretty cute place. There were a ton of hip girl patrons so you can totally tell people only go for vibes. However staff was really nice and accommodating. I don't think you had to pay any extra for milk variances and the food menu looked really good. I got a blueberry matcha latte and watched her hand muddle half a cup of fresh blueberries! And then froth matcha! And then they were nice enough to split my drink into two cups because I got a large to split with my kid and then forgot that she was actually sick at the time and we were not sharing germs. Pastries looked lovely and they had seasonal drinks I would definitely return to try. They also also free parking for 15 minutes!

    My group of three visited Amore Cafe at about noon on a busy Sunday (3/16/25). We tried going to Hash House a Go-Go because I saw an article about them recently and I haven't been there in years. But the parking situation was impossible. No reservations were available and there was a line of people out the door. So we ended up at Cafe Amore primarily because they had a parking lot. Parking lot is free for 15 minutes for customers of Jamba Juice and the Amore Cafe. We paid about $5 for an hour and were able to have lunch in that time with no problem. There was no available street parking in the vicinity. We drove around the block to check. We ordered at the counter and sat down in the mostly empty restaurant. I was surprised how empty it was on a busy Sunday, but grateful that we were the only people there. The young woman working the counter was friendly and helpful, and had a charming Turkish accent. I order chilaquiles whenever I see them on the menu. These chiliques were very good and were obviously prepared with care. It's so fun to get to meet the cook. My dish was the last to be brought out...by the cook himself. Said he hoped I would enjoy it. And I did. I got the green sauce because they said it was less spicy than the red sauce, but I tried the red sauce and it was not that spicy either. I preferred the green sauce. I like the flavor. My chiliquiles with two over-medium eggs and a small coffee came out to about 23 dollars with a dollar tip. I usually don't pay quite that much for breakfast, but I was only able to eat half. So I have another meal. The prices were fair especially for the large servings. There was no surcharge for the eggs. The cafe decor was a little cold...a lot of blue tile. But it was softened with lots of bright artificial flowers and a cool wall of brightly colored posted notes. There was a nook containing games you could play while you were there. There was one unisex bathroom that was clean and needed a code to get in.

    Memo's charm, manners, detailed descriptions of drinks and pastries is on point! His golden milk that he made for me was top notch!!!! So rich, smooth, creamy and cracked pepper on top, incredible!!! I also had a pistachio muffin, so moist and scrumptious!!! Inside the cafe there's a menu of their specialities and seating throughout. Also they have some cute merch and a book nook where you can bring a book and take a book. This little cafe is a gem and not to be passed up! Say hi to Memo!! He will take good care of you!!

    Strawberrry Foam Matcha

    We ate next door and on our way back to the car we saw this place. What caught my attention were the yelp pictures of the strawberry foam matcha. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. Not sure if it's a tea or lemonade base, but it was extremely refreshing. It had the right amount of sweetness and foam. I ordered my drink and didn't have to wait much for it. The staff were really nice and had great suggestions for my order. This is definitely a cute place to stop by and grab a drink and just hang out.

    Stumbled upon this adorable coffee shop on my way home from the gym one morning. I got a hot latte and almond croissant and ate it in the shop. Parking is a little tricky in the area but there is a lot next door. The latte was perfect and the almond croissant was too! It was not too crunchy, but also not mushy. The perfect middle ground (and i LOVE almond croissants so i am critical ha!). The barista was extremely friendly and welcoming as well. I will definitely be returning!

    Cute little coffee shop in the heart of hillcrest. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere is very bright and clean. They have some tables for working and lots of natural light. I got an iced vanilla latte and it was delicious!

    Strawberrry Foam Matcha

    While waiting for some food at a nearby restaurant, my boyfriend and I decided to pop into Amore Caffe for some drinks! The first thing I noticed was how many unique and appealing options were available on the menu. Despite being tempted by a couple of different options, I ended up choosing a strawberry foam matcha. Whilst waiting for the drink I walked around the cafe a little bit. The drink came out very quickly. On my way to the car, I took some sips. The foam was sweet enough to compliment the matcha but not too sweet. The matcha drink itself had a bold flavor but wasn't bitter. Overall, it had a perfect balance. My experience at Amore Caffe was rather efficient but nonetheless enjoyable! I was definitely intrigued by all of the options and would definitely pop in again to give them a try :)

    Stopped by since we were in the area, and the outside was very cute. Step inside and everything is bright, airy and very inviting. A great place to hang out, take in the sights and sip your favorite flavored bean! They make a mean avocado toast. I do not like avocado toast, so I ordered a bagel sandwich, but the wife wanted half so in return I had some of her toast. I do not like avocado toast and this one was, begrudgingly, very good! Our coffees were tasty, not too sweet, not too bitter. Highly recommended!

    This busy corner in Hillcrest used to be the home of Starbucks so it surprised me that this local cafe took over and became its replacement. A sidewalk sign noted there was free 15 minute parking located around the block which was useful to know. A few tables in front of the south facing windows and a countertop along the west facing windows were available for on-site seating. The list of coffees, lattes, teas, and specialty drinks were shown on the wall behind the service counter. They were also displayed on the menu sheets at the counter. For food, there were sandwiches, bagels, croissants, salads, crepes, and ice cream/gelato. Of the seven sandwiches, I selected a Spicy Turkey which had lettuce, tomato, onion, provolone, bacon, avocado, and spicy mayo to dress up the spicy slices of turkey. I asked for the bread to be ciabatta (versus focaccia) and for the sandwich to be panini pressed. A dill pickle spear was added on the side of the plate as a garnishment. The product was alright, somewhere between a three and four star level. The service was very polite and efficient while the space was clean and well-kept. One worker even wiped down the countertop before I took a seat there to consume my sandwich. I rounded my overall rating for Amore Caffe to four stars because of the staff.

    Amore Caffee on Robinson and 5th is among the latest to open in the area. Limited street parking close by as well as the pay to park lot across the street in the Rite Aid lot. Evidently, this space was previously occupied by Starbucks and now occupied by Amore Caffe. I have a Love Hate relationship with Starbucks so I'm glad this new cafe opened. So far, on every occasion I've visited, the staff were nice, helpful and accommodating towards me and my pup Fendi and other customers with their dogs. No outdoor patio seating, just Interior seating only with window facing stools and tables with banquet seating. Decor is simple and overall the space is bright and clean. Menu is limited and recently changed. I asked about the contents of the 'Amore Latte,' since the menu doesn't describe it in detail, but the barista staffer didn't know either :(. He said the staff were not informed about such detail yet?! :(( Hot and cold drinks of coffees, teas, gelato, pastries, sandwiches and some breakfast foods. I was disappointed Affogato was not listed on the menu; they have gelato and espresso, so why not offer Affogato? I mentioned it to the staffer and suggested they edit the menu to include Affogato, because that's what I was craving.m and they have the ingredients: gelato + espresso. I cannot comment on the pastries and prepared foods offered on the menu, which I haven't tried. Pastries are Not made in house and never looked fresh fresh :( However, the coffee drinks I have had were very good. My favs are the hot charcoal latte and the espresso. Both prepared forté ie strong just as I like it. Caffeine taste was spot on, and not acidic after taste..perfetto perfect. Perhaps with the correction edits I pointed out will be made in the near future. Meanwhile, this little shop is still a worthwhile visit to try and see whether it's Love at First Sip... Amore?!

Lots of plants, seating and some tabletop games. Tried: Turkey Panini $17 - this was huge, definitely shareable. The bread was a little doughy but had a nice toast on the outside. There was a small piece of plastic wrap in the sandwich which I luckily saw before consuming. If you zoom in you can see it underneath the lettuce on the left sandwich. Too much garlic aioli on this. Breakfast croissant $12 - bacon was a little burnt. I liked this better than the sandwich. Nice kick. Kyoto cold brew coffee $6 was excellent. It does not need milk. It is very smooth. They use a specialized drip machine for this coffee. Berry seasonal latte $7.50 was sweet even at half sweet. They have a punch card for their drinks which is nice. On a second visit I came back for their Kyoto cold brew to go and was given regular iced coffee that was very bitter. Very disappointing that I wasn't given what I ordered and didn't realize it until I had gotten home.

It just reminded me all over again why this is one of those places I find myself wanting to come back to again and again. There's something about it that feels so thoughtful and special, from the ambiance to the way the team genuinely takes care of people. What stands out every time is how warm, intentional, and wonderful the staff is. They really do make you feel welcomed and cared for, and that kind of hospitality is such a huge part of what makes a place memorable. On top of that, they have such a great variety of offerings, coffee, tea, bites, and then as the day rolls on, a lovely wine selection and small plates that make it such a cute little spot for an afternoon reset or a midweek pick-me-up with the girls. I also love sneaking away there when I want to get outside and get a little work done. Their courtyard is truly the cutest and somehow always feels inspiring, peaceful, and just like a little pocket of charm in the middle of the day. And beyond that, I really appreciate how intentional they are about creating community, whether through wine tastings or other little events that make the space feel alive and welcoming. I was there earlier today and they had a wine tasting happening in the courtyard, which just felt so perfectly them. It's always such a gift to have neighborhood places like this that clearly put so much care into what they're creating. Paradis really is one of those gems that makes you want to tell other people about it.

I got the mimosa flight with orange, cranberry, pineapple, and grapefruit, a fun way to try a few flavors instead of committing to one. For food I ordered the salmon Benedict on gluten free bread. As someone who's gluten free, it's rare to find a Benedict I can actually eat, so this was a nice surprise. Our server was attentive throughout the meal and checked in without being intrusive. Food and drinks were both solid. Will be back to try more of the menu.

Our server was very nice I don't remember her name but she has nothing to do with this review. Ms Gorger and I got the Mexican mocha and that I must say that was very yummy. The best part of this meal was the Apple Fritter pancakes. Those were some of the BEST pancakes I've ever had honestly. Such a good combo and so sweet. I can't believe I am saying this but this tortilla soup was so bad... Chilis makes a better version of this soup. The Arugula breakfast potatoes with truffle were just straight mid. Honestly a little under mid. Was excited to try something different and just didn't hit at all. The chilaquiles were also just mid. Maybe it was just a bad day at the office but wouldn't recommend this place. Best, TBG (The Big Gorger)
