Amapola is a nice addition to the neighborhood with very friendly owners who clearly take pride in their shop as well as food options, many made in house. As a coffee fiend, I’m always on the hunt for good espresso, and this is definitely a spot where you can find some quality coffee. They’ve got some outdoor seating and some nice tables set up inside, a cozy place to catch up with a friend or to relax. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in need of a coffee fix and a pastry. Oh... and their Friday/Saturday hours will be later, so if you're like me and me a later in the day fix, you have a place to go!

Delicious new coffeeshop in the area. Less crowded than the surrounding shops and high quality coffee. Their espresso is strong and not bitter and the pastries are light and tastes fresh. I’m glad to have stopped by to check it out and have a new regular stop. They have a good variety of coffee options as well like armenian and vietnamese but doesn’t have an overwhelming menu so that it feels like the quality is still kept.

Very nice, quaint coffee shop with desserts and light snacks for breakfast/brunch. I ordered the Almond Croissant Latte and my wife ordered the Lavender Rose Latte with a pistachio croissant and a Strawberry Danish. The coffee was amazing, not only looked great but tasted delicious. Very well made and served in a timely manner. The desserts were also amazing and the selection is vast to choose from. Would highly recommend, 10/10.

The best pastries around, by a mile. Every pastry I've had so far has been absolutely delicious. Their blueberry muffin is without a doubt the best I've ever had. The staff is also incredibly friendly and patient. Coffee and drinks are good as well. Overall a great spot servicing great food and drinks.

Support this coffee shop, its fantastic! It is clean and comfortable with high-quality pastries and espresso. I always appreciate when cafe's can serve coffee in proper ceramic cups so I can sit there for a few minutes and relax. The owners are very kind and seem committed to making the cafe a welcoming addition to the neighborhood. Definitely come give them a try.
