Amara’s is a cozy cafe, hidden on a side street in Highland Park. After the line finally started moving inside, the first thing that struck my was the simple yet clever decor of dried flowers and fruit hanging from the ceiling and draping the wall. It creates a nice warm ambiance.

I had a hard time deciding between the Purple Eggs and the Green Eggs. They both looked delicious by the description. I went with Green Eggs on a whim, and was pleasantly surprised with the contrast between the Eggs and the purple cabbage (yes the Green Eggs also had purple cabbage), and avocado. How often do you get purple cabbage for breakfast!?

Lastly, the baked goods were absolutely amazing. I also had hard choice, good thing other in my party were down to split a few. I don’t know what they called it, there was this cookie with chocolate on top, and a scone, both vegan. I’m not vegan, but these were G-O-O-D!!!

My only complaint is that we had to fight for tables at the prime hour for Saturday morning, but isn’t that the case for any immensely popular order first then find seat, hot spots?
