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!

The space

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
Veronica H.

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 :)

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?!

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!

I love how when you walk in, the energy is upbeat with Spanish-style music playing in the background, marigold flowers on the tables, and a pretty artistic aesthetic with all sorts of photographs and paintings on the walls. I love how they have their place all decked out in Fall decor with their pumpkins all dressed up and matching orange marigold arrangements on the tables. They also have such a cozy and cute courtyard also. This place offers everything! It's more than food, they sell wine, they live music on the weekends also. I ordered a Vanilla Matcha latte which was so delicious and a breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and bacon that was on a buttery croissant which was so delicious. It hit the spot! Rafael the manager served me and I really appreciated his warm and welcoming personality. There was another guy that was behind the counter who brought out my sandwich and was not only efficient but kind. I did not get his name though. I totally recommend this place.

A great place to catch up with friends, study, or do some work on your laptop. Service was quick. Food was pretty good! Unfortunately, parking is metered in this area. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area. Food/drink review: Iced matcha latte w/ vanilla syrup: (4/5) This was delicious, though very heavy on the ice. I feel like I had maybe 5 sips of my drink. Breakfast croissant: (4/5) Great flavor overall- I just felt the bacon and croissant were a little too crispy and burnt for my taste.

The building here was pretty big, with plenty of seating, a large area to order, and a pastry case filled with plenty of good-looking croissants. The most interesting part for me, though, was the roaster in the back and all the bags of green coffee beans. Interestingly, across the street in a much larger building is the Bird Rock Roasting Lab. After looking at the menu, I wanted a carrot cake latte, but I also wanted to try the beans they were obviously roasting. So I ended up ordering a large hot carrot cake latte and a small Americano for myself, along with an iced spiced pumpkin latte for my wife. Since this place was packed, it took a little over 15 minutes to get our drinks. That wasn't because they weren't cranking out coffee, as they certainly were. As for how my two drinks tasted, well, they were both good. I started with the carrot cake latte and thought it was nice. There was a definite sweetness and raisin flavor, which I enjoyed. While I couldn't fully taste the coffee, I still liked this drink. I also tried my Americano and thought it was rather good. There was some bitterness up front, followed by a deep, rich finish that lingered in my mouth for a bit. Weirdly, I didn't pick up that freshly roasted taste that I normally notice at coffee roasters, but even so, it was still good. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I thought the coffee here was quite good, but I would definitely consider ordering online and picking it up to avoid a long wait.
