    This spot is popular with the medical staff and its patients! The first time I tried to go, the line was too long for me and my short parking meter so I decided to come back. After seeing the doc, I came down where the lovely barista was chatting with one of the medical building employees. It seemed their transaction ended a while ago but the conversation was that good! I love knowing the barista has a personality she shares with patrons! They have alllll the milks and alllll the fancy syrups so you can customize your drink as you'd like. And their large latte comes with 3 shots - you've been warned - and it's fabulous!! Cheese danishes are my weakness and theirs was looking large and in charge so I snagged it and ate it before pics were taken. Whooops- guess I'll have to go back and try again ;) With a small/nonexistent line, I'd love to come back. The barista is kind and as Mother's Day was just around the corner we discovered that we were both pet moms! My visit ended with reciprocal wishes to have a "happy Mother's Day", in honor of our fur babies, and I walked off toward the car, chirping birds as my soundtrack.

    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!

The space feels worn -- menus tattered, décor dated, the whole interior overdue for a refresh. For a restaurant positioning itself at the higher end of Chinese dining, Meizhou Dongpo is sleeping on the finer details. No complimentary tea service, and rather than offering a pot for the table, they serve individual tea by the mug -- a comically oversized Western mug at that. Chopsticks arrive without spoons, and when you ask for one, you get silverware instead of the porcelain you'd expect at Chinese restaurant. The Peking duck accoutrements came with a little plastic spoon on the tray. Small things, but they add up.The fried rice was a letdown too and looked nothing like the menu photo. Spots like Din Tai Fung and Lunasia Signature are operating at a different level and the gap shows. Meizhou Dongpo has the bones of a great Chinese restaurant. The duck alone proves it. But until they invest in the experience around the food, it's hard to recommend at this price point.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    This was horrible. I ordered from DoorDash today and after waiting a long time for them to heat up…read morethe soup, I guess...the dasher even texted to say he was surprised it wasn't ready, they sent me four $15 pints of soup that weren't worth the $4 I could pay at Pavilions soup bar. And it was COLD. After all that extra time waiting for delivery, the soup was cold, and didn't look or taste anything like described. They had obviously tried to defrost some old crappy soup and warm it up barely. So of course by the time it arrived it was cold as all get out. I've just wasted money unfortunately. I usually try to give some ghost kitchens a chance, but if you can't keep your quality up, why are you in business? Did you look at that sad, cold soup you sent and think...yes this is what will get us more customers. Such a waste of time and money. The search for good soup continues. Avoid at all costs unless they seriously step up their game.

His customer service is top notch, and just is an all around kind human. Thanks for guiding me to your temporary store front. If you step inside of Skys Tacos, (which is an institution in its own right) you will find the Massy Soups. I licked the spoon, drank the bowl, of Carrot Ginger, and Split Pea. The soups rock, usually soup is bland, boring, salty, or some other form of a mess. The soup here tells a story, has flavor, and tastes more like you blended a neighborhood of flavor town into a bowl. I'll be back. In the words of Mr Dice Clay, "what's in the bowl" (you can finish the rest)

    I came to post a review for this location, not realizing I already posted a review a few years…read moreback. I am a regular patron of Tender Greens via delivery. I have never set foot in one of their physical locations, but I've ordered from several of their locations for delivery. I do not understand how this location remains in business. For starters, the food is horrible. There is always something missing from orders from this location. The drinks are equally terrible. I love their hibiscus tea at other locations, but the hibiscus tea at this location was so tart and sour, I could not drink it. I ordered a pesto pasta dish that comes in either a vegetable option or with chicken. I ordered the vegetable pasta. Despite the pasta containing pesto, it is flavorless. I ordered a side Caesar salad. The salad contained more dressing than salad. I am used to the salad portions, even side, salads, being full, and containing fresh ingredients. The salad was neither fresh nor made properly. That's confusing, considering a Caesar salad is literally romaine lettuce, croutons (the croutons in the salad were stale), Parmesan cheese (of which there was none) and dressing. I ordered another side salad, which literally consists of lettuce and dressing. That wasn't made correctly either. A good 50% of the lettuce was wilted. The pasta, as I said, was flavorless. Each item was supposed to come with bread, which I requested. I received the equivalent of one and a half slices of bread for the three items. I will need to make a note to self never to order from this location again. It clearly slipped my mind that I ordered from this location because it was three years ago when I first left a review. This location should close because they definitely do not comport with the standards of other Tender Greens locations.
