    Chicken and salami wrap

    Recently discovered Cafe Amara, and I'm so glad I did, what a hidden treasure! It's a little tucked away under Building 8920, so it's not at eye level and easy to miss, but once you find it, you'll definitely be coming back. The chicken and salami wrap is seriously amazing, always fresh, packed with flavor, and just so good every single time. You can really tell they put care into their food. On top of that, the customer service is fantastic. Everyone is welcoming, friendly, and makes you feel appreciated from the moment you walk in. If you're nearby and haven't checked it out yet, don't sleep on this spot, it's a gem!!!

    Egg sourdough sandwich with egg over easy
    Dave B.

    Cafe Amara is, sure, a go-to lunch spot for local professionals--but it's also so much more. To me, it's a true neighborhood diner. The food? Seriously good and always consistent. Our regulars are the chicken noodle soup, egg sandwich, and the salads (which are a feast). The chef is totally on point. Service is always warm and kind--same woman every time, and she's great. If Amara were in a trendier part of town, there'd be a line out the door every day.

    Cafe Amara is a great spot to get a delicious coffee, snack, breakfast or lunch. The service is fast & friendly. Lida & Steve run a very professional business. I have eaten several dishes, and everything is good. The soups, salads & sandwiches are all yummy. The breakfast sandwich is the best I've ever had, full of great ingredients. Today I had the chicken pesto sandwich, and it was scrumptious. I highly recommend that you stop by and try the food soon!

    This place is absolutely amazing! No matter what you order, you're going to love it. Every single thing on the menu is packed with flavor, and you truly can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches. I've been coming here for lunch regularly over the past six months, and I've tried every single sandwich on the menu -- seriously! The owner is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. If I had to pick a favorite, it would definitely be the chicken wrap. It's my go-to -- flavorful, fresh, and always hits the spot. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great food and even better vibes! This place is absolutely amazing!

    Ham and Cheese Croissant with Eggs

    Hungry pregnant woman right here! Every time I leave my doctor's next door, I stop at Cafe Amara. The food is amazing and so fresh. My favorites are the ham and cheese egg croissant, the chicken Caesar salad, and the chicken soup. The place itself is super clean and relaxed and the employees are very nice and attentive. Love this place!

It has a cozy, tucked-away feel with plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a great place to relax with a coffee. We ordered a mocha and a latte, and both were solid. They were well balanced and not overly sweet, which I always appreciate since you can actually taste the quality of the espresso. We spent some time enjoying the outdoor seating and it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the visit. If you're in the Melrose area and looking for a good coffee shop to unwind, this is definitely worth stopping by.

This place is so cute that I've driven by it a million times thinking it was a fancy restaurant - not a cute hidden gem coffee shop! This particular shop is incredibly popular and always full but if you're lucky you'll get a seat in their adorable little outdoor area. They have some belly up counter style seats along the sidewalk and also a side garden with a few tables & chairs, plus some cute cushions on the steps for ground seating. Once again, I'm obsessed with the aesthetics at a Verve location. They really seem to focus on rustic wood vibes inside and incorporating nature in a fun way. I always love their flash nitro cold brew here. It's so smooth and refreshing! I also tried their matcha and loved it. Plus their chocolate chip sea salt cookie was money. I'm sure I'll be back to Verve in WeHo! Really enjoyed it yesterday.

We waited in line for about 45 minutes to an hour, only to find out that they ran out of sliders. We were incredibly disappointed. I wish they could have put up a sign of some sort to let everyone know they ran out. However, the place itself was nice, and I did end up getting a latte. I loved the latte, so that made up for the missing sliders to some degree. Although the latte was good, I don't see myself coming back due to the long wait and them being prone to running out of goods.

Do be aware that the cup is on the smaller side than most places. Unfortunately did not get to try the breakfast sliders everyone has talked about so I will be back to try those another time. The overall cafe is pretty small but it's a got a cool aesthetic. Has a nice seating area around the outside with shade. Do expect to wait in line and parking can be a challenge as most spots in the area are usually taken as it's street parking. Went on a Saturday afternoon and waited about 25 minutes. I don't think I would wait anymore than that for this place but it's worth checking out. The staff are very kind too.

    I've been here a couple of times and thought it was time to review this establishment. Located at…read morethe busy intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Fairfax in West Hollywood; you won't be disappointed. It's a small space with a few tables inside with multiple large sliding glass doors that open onto the intersection on one side and a courtyard on the other side. It gives the place a nice urban feel with plenty of foot traffic outside and people watching. You order from one of the two kiosks outside of the kitchen. You select from the menu, make your payment, and assigned a number to notify you when your order is ready. They send messages to you via text. I was with a friend mid-afternoon on a Saturday. There was just a couple of people inside when we arrived. The evenings are usually busier with several people inside and on the outdoor courtyard which has a few tables. We both ordered cheesecake and we loved them. Very fresh, flavorful, and creamy in texture. I had the Oreo Cheesecake and my friend had the Mocha Cheesecake. My friend also had a Fusion Mocha Shake which he said tasted great with the right amount of mocha flavoring for his taste. We spoke to the owner/baker after we ate to compliment his desserts. I asked how business was and he said unfortunately slow. He mentioned how restaurants in general were having a hard time in the current uncertain economy. It has nothing to do with his products. The desserts and treats are great. If you can, give this spot a try. And the prices are reasonable considering the quality of the desserts. There's a promotion for new customers. Whatever amount you spend on your first visit, you earn that amount in credits towards your next purchase. It's all automated through your phone number. Open everyday until midnight. There are complimentary board games to play while dining. Limited parking in the plaza or street parking. It's great to have a quality dessert café in my neighborhood.

It's a petit venue with comfy couch seating, chairs and cute table that you can connect. We did that since there were about 7 of us. You order from the two kiosks or off of your phone so remember that they do not take cash as payment. There's so many fun options on the menus from scrumptious desserts, hot and cold beverages like teas and coffees. I had to have an iced boba beverage. So yummy. Our server who may also be the owner was very nice. Quick service, like we received text messages that your order has been placed and it was brought to our table within minutes. Incredible and he was very cheerful. While conversations were happening I noticed a cool shelf and on the shelf were games! Fun board and card games that continued the our mini party! This place was open until 11pm so it cool to have a coffee shop that stays open late. I took public transportation but there is underground parking at the venue, there are tons of parking meters and parking in the residential area. This place is YUMMY!
