Everything we've tried is fresh and delicious, but our personal favorites are the arepa la suegra with black beans and plantains, the churros (just a little bit crunchy and crispy on the outside but chewy on the inside and not too sweet), the guava pastelito, and of course the Venezuelan drinking chocolate. As much as we love the food, what really keeps us coming back is their hospitality and sense of community. As locals, we really feel welcome and it is great to see the same faces week after week. (Our husky is always especially delighted to see her BFF, Valeria!) Finally, while the small inside area has a nice cafe vibe, the sidewalk seating and covered patio have been perfect for us with our husky. Amara is the kind of place that makes Pasadena special, and I definitely recommend them if you are in the area!

The mixtures of textures with the thai tea soft serve went perfectly together. I would definitely get it again. The service was friendly and efficient. The shop was clean and there were areas to sit. Parking can be crazy depending on the time you go since it is on green.

Ordered the thai tea soft serve 16oz with no toppings…read more The portion is HUGE for 2 people. Should have gone with the small. Nothing special, soft serve just tastes like frozen thai tea. It wasn't creamier or anything. It was a hot day out and it was melting quickly. As I ate to the center, it became icier? The outside was creamier than the inside. Unsure why that is. Otherwise, it tastes as expected. I think I paid $7.25 or so which isn't too bad nowadays. Parking does suck, it's at a weird location on green street. I parked on the street and walked over. Not a lot of seating area to enjoy on site.

I'm really picky with it comes to scones. But these scones were perfect! Soft on the inside, nice outer crust. Both the maple and blueberry scones are full of flavor. I think the maple is my favorite. The lovely girl that was helping us gave us a chocolate chip cookies for free! Which was so sweet of her. We told her we came a long way to try this restaurant out. I can't wait to go back and try their French onion soup. And other pastries too.

I believe it…read morewas off the menu for a while (correct me if I'm wrong), but i saw it available once again so I decided to grab two today. Our previous experiences were great, however this time was extremely disappointing. For the price (~$16 per sandwich on Toast), you would expect more substance but this was how it was looking. One measly slice of ham and cheese, and the butter barely tasted present. I'm bummed that such a great recipe has been reduced to this poor excuse of a jamon buerre. Had I known this was what I was going to receive, then I would've spent the money on groceries to make SEVERAL mediocre ham sandwiches instead. The two stars come from the attitude of the server, Karla. She was extremely friendly and that was the only highlight of today's visit.

Without any intention to pay a visit, I accidentally passed by Mignon as I was visiting Cool Bites,…read morewhich was right next to it. Being a lame for chocolate, I for sure made a stop. Just from the vibes, you could tell it's a long-standing one. The one behind the counter was nothing but friendly, asking if it's my first time and right away giving me a sample per my preference. They sold truffles, bars, cookies, and even provided gift-wraps and boxes. Instead of weigh-based, most stuffs were sold by pieces. From the rich showcase, I went for the trio of Nutella milk chocolate, Irish cream truffle, and their signature Mignon dark chocolate truffle. I wouldn't say any of them were attention-stealers, but no harm trying when you're around. Prolly the Mignon one was the top pick if I had to choose among the 3, serving dark chocolate with dark chocolate ganache inside.

Old Town Pasadena, California…read more Next to Nana's Green Tea, Delight is A very good French bakery, no breads, but Delight feeds the pastry hunger in me -- all the pastries, cakes and gelati are excellent. There is a smallish macaron counter with popular flavors and can be boxed up to bring home. The house made sandwiches (focaccia), breakfasts and lunch items are very good to excellent also and with great prices. With about 15 tables (a couple of tables for larger groups), there's a steady stream of people here and it would be a matter of time when lines will form out the door. Service is super attentive. The minute you come in the person behind the counter comes to assist. Ohhh almost forgot, savory pastries (caprese and artichoke and cheese) are super well-made and the crusts delightfully light and crispy :-) I keep coming back. End of Yelp.

The large display of pastries is sure to dazzle, and we spend a good minute looking over the multitude of offerings in the case. Service was fast and efficient, and we sat ourselves. CAPRESE DANISH: 5/5. Perfectly balanced flavors. Tomatoes were fresh and the balsamic was bright. HAM AND CHEESE CROISSANT: 4/5. I know it would have been SO ood if it were warmed up and the cheese were a little melty. KOUIGN AMANN: 3/5. My favorite pastry. Perhaps a personal preference, but I wish the sugar were a little more caramelized. It also was not as rich as I am accustomed to this pastry being.

We were a few stores down from Laderach and we can smell the sweet scent of chocolates from a far. We decided to stop by and check out this fancy and yummy chocolate shop. As soon as we came in Laderach, the sales people were welcoming and greeted us. They also offered some samples and any sample of our choosing. We tried the strawberry chocolate and milk chocolate. They were both delicious. The chocolate was perfect. It was quality chocolate and semi sweet and not too rich. The combination with the dried strawberries were a perfect blend and balance. We left the store and purchased a couple of the pre packed milk chocolate and the strawberry chocolate. We can't wait to comeback to try other types of chocolates on Laderach's menu.

They tend to give that one out as samples. The other chocolates are good as well. So I usually get a mixtures from the display case and some packaged ones. I do have to say the staffs could be judgy, which sukz. Sometimes, they will offer me some samples and sometimes, I do just ask for it. I feel it would be better if they just ask all the customers. That way customers will not feel left out or having the feeling of being treated differently.
