Amara Chocolate Coffee - Pasadena

I love the baked empanadas. The spinach and beef empanadas were so amazing they didn't even need the salsa. Three of them are filling for one person. The plantains are fantastic on their own or with the cheese. The coffee is strong and less on the sweet side and served in generous sized mugs. The indoor seating can feel a little crowded but there is plenty of outdoor seating available.

An incredible breakfast. The corn pancakes were great, but the churros and chocolate!?!? Wow!!!

Ohhhhh man... I haven't had churros and chocolate this good since I was in Spain. Muy, muy, muy rico. My hubs really enjoyed his corn pancakes too! Seriously, this breakfast made our day... we highly recommend!

What are the amazing ambience and experience Amara's has with great music, and an accommodating staff and owner. This is the type of small business that Pasadena has always been about. Come here and treat yourself to a great a empanada and a hot cacao latte with expressions.

Have enjoyed coming here to try new things! Their food has been pretty good. Especially the guava cheese pastry. Atmosphere is nice and people are friendly. Looking forward to going back to get something new. Little pricey, but I guess that's because of the location and rising costs. They have fresh squeezed orange juice which is nice.
