    Inside seating
    Shawna R.

    Greeted right away, barista was helpful and friendly. I got the horchata matcha which is dairy free (made with almond milk) it was delicious, you do taste more of the horchata and then a hint of matcha as the after taste. My friend tried the rose latte she did mention it's very floral and grabbed a banana nut muffin as well (no gluten free pastries). Inside has a large table in the middle with a few small tables all around. A plant wall off to the side where you can actually purchase the plants. It's very minimal and modern inside, they also had a large patio outside too. The only con I had about this place was they had a note on the door that said restrooms are locked until 230pm. I don't understand how this is located in the student center of the church/schooling and no restrooms are open during a chunk of operating time. Also parking, it's a bit confusing but they do have signage to follow to get to the location. Also don't walk into the front of the student center (like I did) it's actually on the side of it where the open patio area is.

    Want to give this 5 stars! This is honestly one of my favorite coffee shops in the AV. The quality of the coffee is always great and you can tell care goes into what they make. That said, I did want to mention pricing/value. I paid $17 for two coffees, and while they were really good, my drink had a lot of ice and I finished it in just a few sips. I just wish the portions matched the price a bit more. I'll still come back because I love the coffee itself--I just hope there's a little more value for what you're paying

    Blue matcha

    They have a very big space. Many seats available. The employees are very amiable and had good recommendations for my taste. I am not a fan of really sweet drinks and they recommended the blue matcha which is butterfly pea flower tea and matcha. (They also have milk alternatives) I thought it was perfectly balanced, not too sweet and nice flavor. They also have sweet treats available.

    Strawberry matcha

    Employee failed to look at me while I was ordering. He was on his phone the whole time. I find that unprofessional. Bad start but I digress. Opted for their strawberry matcha which was pretty good. Not too earthy and just the right amount of sweetness. Good vibe though out. It did take about 10 minutes to get my drink. While waiting I noticed the tables weren't cleaned. My table had crumbs and needed to be wiped down.

    Y'all need to come check this place out asap! This cute cafe just recently opened up. It's the perfect spot to work remotely/studying. Vibes are immaculate and their drinks are fireeeee! Their workers so super sweet and actually recommended I try their blue Matcha horchata. DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The cafe has plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, chill music, amazing menu, and can't forget the cool workers. Please consider coming to support the business! I came in around 2pm and it wasn't busy at all but I'm sure in the mornings it can get a bit busy! I will be returning to remote work from here!

    I was driving by the city and decided to try this coffee shop. I ordered a medium Ámate Coffee w oat milk for $8.90. I love supporting small businesses but it's unfortunate when the drink has so much ice. If I knew how much ice was in the drink I would have ordered with less ice. Just a couple sips and it's done. Especially for the price. The coffee was good though! And staff were nice.

    Tried the matcha this time, absolutely delicious! Perfect amount of sweetness. Sat by the water wall again and felt so calm. Perfect place to grab a drink with a friend!

    This is a really cute coffee shop. Parking can be confusing because it is on a campus but thankfully they put out signs so you know you're in the right place. I was greeted by very friendly baristas who were patient as I decided what I wanted. I got an iced amate latte and I really liked how it wasn't too sweet but was still delicious. There's plenty of seating inside if you want a place to do homework which is nice as well. I will definitely be back!

    Super cute shop, great service. I like the location as it's more private than other spots. I wish they had some more food options!

    Located next to Desert Christian high school on the south side of City church. If you're looking at the main chapel of city church enter through the driveway on the right. Head straight, it'll be on the right hand side. Look for A-frame signs to guide you to entrance. It is a little hidden if you're not familiar with the area. Great welcome, service and real coffee. They make all their latte syrups in house. Pastries available but sells out pretty quickly. Ample parking, patio benches, interior seating with extended room still under construction. Just recently reopened. Glad to visit at the right time. Will definitely return!

    I finally found a new place in the AV that is safe, clean, has great drinks and a friendly staff! Amate coffee is located on the same campus as Desert Christian High School and the church. It is a beautiful atmosphere with a huge fountain and tons of plants inside. They serve ceremonial matcha and high quality coffee that is ground fresh for each drink. The horchata matcha with cinnamon cold foam is a must try! I also love the Mexican mocha, shaken cafe de Olla and a few other drinks. They use Abuelita chocolate in the mocha which is good BUT for reference it's owned by Nestle and contains seed oils + artificial ingredients. If you choose to make this at home, use Ibarra Chocolate, it's Mexican owned and mostly clean ingredients! I do wish they had more individual seating inside or shaded seating outside but that won't stop me from coming to work/study from here when the library on the AV campus is closed.

    Christmas and coffee are my two favorite things, so you know we ran to Amate the very moment the Christmas coffees were available. my churro latte was INCREDIBLE, and my fiancé hasn't stopped talking about his cookie butter latte for 7 days now :') the love, care, quality ingredients, and barista skills that went into our coffees really shows. and to top it all off, we got to enjoy the drinks under the warm glow of a gorgeous giant Christmas tree. fingers crossed we get a second Amate even closer to Los Angeles!! but in the mean time, the coffee, the employees, and the cozy vibes make it so worth the drive.

    OMG horchata matcha and dulce de leche drink were amazing! The horchata matcha was something I'd never had and can't wait to have again! Incredible service, awesome LA vibe with the decor, large windows and indoor fountain. Great seating options inside and out, along with some games to play near the restrooms.

    Such a cute place, nice ambience. First time going this weekend. Let me start with saying that the…read morecustomer service is amazing. So welcoming and helpful when it came to ordering. I've been wanting to try Hojicha, which they happen to have here!! Now, while the drink alone gets this place a 10/10, their bowls are incredible. I was recommended the South Western Chicken Bowl with the Peruvian green sauce. My gosh. I don't think I've had a bowl as good as that one. Needless to say I've been craving another since then. I will definitely be coming back again. They have a nice variety selection. You're bound to find something you love

    I found this place on TikTok and stopped in to grab a drink before driving back to LA after a 10…read morehour day in the OR. I asked to upgrade my drink to a 24 oz, but they declined due to "ingredient limitations," which I found a bit surprising. In my experience, this type of request is usually accommodated in LA. The drink itself was delicious, at around $8 it felt comparable in price to Starbucks. Overall, I think there's a balance to be struck between building a distinct brand identity and maintaining flexibility in customer service, as being unable to accommodate simple adjustments can affect the overall experience. The ambiance felt similar to a typical teen-oriented or tween-focused hangout spot.
