"One of the area's most cherished breakfast spots, Amara Kitchen rests casually on a quiet residential corner - but after stepping inside, you'll quickly toss out the notion of this spot being an average place to eat. It came to life in 2013 at the hands of chef and owner Paola Guasp, who believes that food should be casual but interesting, healthy, and thoughtfully sourced."
"A whole lot of local customers do that just, thanks to Guasp, who routinely presents alternative interpretations on traditional dishes. She's recognized as a Latina business owner whose personal journey with food and health shapes the restaurant's menu. The small cafe subtly reflects global influences from her growing up in Los Angeles and Santiago, Chile, while appealing to the widely diverse palates of the Los Angeles community, drawing in folks from all walks of life."
