Love this place. Wish it wasn't so busy. Ha! Even though it was packed, we still were able to get a table. So many gf and veg options. Their food is delicious and their drip coffee is perfect. We split the vegan breakfast burrito and the buckwheat pancakes. We started with the blueberry corn muffins and that was the right choice! What a great way to start the day!

What a beautiful place in the neighborhood! And the food and drinks are incredibly delicious. We had the falafel wrap and the spicy chicken and oatmilk matcha. Very nice outside and inside area for slowing down with a book or having a nice chat with a friend. We can’t wait to be back!

Always great to have options for paleo, gluten free, dairy free that ACTUALLY taste good and aren’t a pain to ask for. The buckwheat and paleo pancakes were both very tasty. The burritos were also very tasty even with the gluten free wrap which had been a bit tough to find at times. Excited to check out more of their options.

02/2025 Update: I look forward to the reopening of Amara Kitchen, however long it takes. One of the best (delicious, healthy and nutritious) breakfast ever. They ran out of orange juice but otherwise everything was perfect.

Great little restaurant! A friend of mine recommended the Highland Park location, so I was exited to try out the one coming to ‘dena! The line was short, the place was really clean and pretty, all of the employees kept their social distance and wore masks, and the bathrooms were really nice. All of the food was absolutely delicious, almost all of it is vegetarian all though there are some meat options, and everything is locally sourced! The orange juice tasted like someone was squeezing an actual orange into my mouth. There are no outdoor seating options yet, so my mother and I walked over to triangle park and they texted us when the food was ready. Overall, excellent experience, 10/10 would recommend, felt totally COVID safe, and the food was delicious!

Higher end prices but for the quality of the food it's understood. Be prepared to wait 10 minutes if it's busy, the kitchen is tiny and they're hustling. The Menu rotates a bit which I like, addresses freshest local ingredients and keeps me trying new things. The presentation is lovely, everything I've had so far is delicious and beautiful. Drinks, salads, soups, avocado toast. Tables for 4, seating inside and out. I order to go and walk to the library or similar to enjoy at my leisure on a bench. Also breakfast all day which is a big deal to find around here!

The purple eggs were delicious. The vegan breakfast sandwiches are delicious and healthy too.
