    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.

    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!!!

    Chicken Pesto

    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!

    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!

    Ham and Cheese Croissant with Eggs
    Jen B.

    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!

    I've been to the Verve Coffee Roasters location in the Arts District before, but this was my first…read moretime visiting the Melrose shop, and I really liked the atmosphere. 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.

I got the spanner matcha latte and the foam was super good! Super good flavor and definitely one of the better matchas I've had lately The sandwich was also really good. I'd give it an 8/10! I've had their turkey sandwich before and I really enjoyed that one more than the breakfast so that's definitely and underrated choice. This place definitely has good choices and amazing drinks but if you're not willing to wait you can def find other places to go that have similar options. Although, I recommend trying this place at least once if you're visiting LA. The staff are usually super friendly and the drinks come out super quick. They don't really have conversations bc of how long the lines can be so don't expect a long talk through the menu. Overall, I really enjoyed everything and would definitely come back, especially for the matcha! The best time is around 8 am on a weekday!

The matcha was probably my favorite part. It was smooth, not too sweet, and you could actually taste the matcha instead of it just tasting like milk and sugar. It had a little bitterness to it, but nothing crazy. The whole place has a really nice vibe too. Parking and the crowd can be a little annoying, but I'd definitely come back, especially for the matcha.

    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.

    Had a friend's meet up reunion at Sweets Talk in West Hollywood and it was so much fun…read more You cannot miss the venue because it says "Sweets Talk" outside of the place in huge letters and there's a boba drinks sandwich boards advertising on the sidewalk. 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!
