Great little cafe. There are numerous savory and sweet options in this quaint cafe. The workers look like relatives because some are. I ordered the churros. They weren't my favorite, but I will return to dine in for breakfast. Just a nice, pleasant vibe inside and outside. You can sample coffees or help yourself to refreshing cucumber water. The servers are quite thoughtful.
Parking: Lucky to find street parking steps away.

The empanadas are amazing. Make sure you get it with the green avocado salsa.

Amara Cafe in Pasadena has a relaxed, inviting vibe that makes it easy to settle in. Their Venezuelan-inspired menu is full of amazing options. I always go for the arepas, no matter if it’s breakfast or lunch, and they never disappoint. Their hot chocolate is something else—truly authentic, rich, thick, and exactly what you want on a cooler day. Get sipping chocolate iced on the hot ones. I always find myself feeling a little high on life after drinking their chocolate options. Little science insight: pure cacao contains compounds like theobromine and phenylethylamine, which can stimulate endorphin and serotonin release, improving mood and giving a mild euphoria. No wonder every amara’s visit is the start to a magical day.
The service is friendly and I always feel welcomed and appreciated. It’s a bit popular and can get pretty packed. But even when there’s a crowd, I’ve never felt rushed. If you’re in the area, it’s worth stopping by just for the sipping chocolates alone. The churros are another story. I once enjoyed them regularly but now I avoid gluten, I wish they’d whip up a gluten free option. *wink wink, nudge nudge*

There are no words to describe both the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. The tequeños and coffee were extremely good. The owner and the staff welcomed us like family and went above and beyond to make our visit be unforgettable. If you have a chance to stop by I highly recommend it, from a native Venezuelan, will definitely be back!
The food was absolutely amazing, but what honestly made me want to write a review was the outstanding service. Every single person went out of their way to go above and beyond, they were extremely sweet, and even the owner came out to say hi and ask what part of Venezuela we were from. As a picky eater, I loveddd the tequeños and the coffee was perfect. 1000/10 recommend.
Very friendly and warm atmosphere. The food is incredibly good! They gave us free tequeños which were absolutely tasty! Coffee its Amazing, juices are delicious! Customer service its off the roof. You need to try it!

Exceptional food. Make sure you mention you want a hot drink, they didn't ask me and gave me a cold drink, but they fixed that right away without a fuss. I will be coming back anytime I'm in Pasadena.

These were the best cachapas ever but their quality has dropped so much! I went today and the dough was so flavourless and so was the cheese. Please bring the old cachapa recipe back!
