Amara Coffee

BEST COCONUT ICED COFFEE! Been trying to find a great one in the west after returning from Vietnam and having withdrawals, and this one took me right back to Hoi An. Great spot and staff were so lovely, gentle and friendly. Food menu had a great variety and the meatball banh mi was not something I’d usually try, but wow it was so authentic and delicious. The banh mi bread was perfect, soft on the inside with just enough crunch on the outside. Lovely modern and clean cafe, will definitely be back for my next coconut coffee

Brunch with 2 kids. Kids enjoy the meal. For drink we had Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Peanut Butter Cream Iced Latte (with Oatmilk) and Hot Chocoocalte by Mork and for brunch we order Saigon Pan (it was good but there was few beef that is still raw & it missing pate), Vietnamese Shakshuka (it was spicy but my son really love it) and then Crabmeat Chilli Scramble (daughter enjoy it). Drink and foods was good. Service good.

Nicely presented and fluffy pancakes. Coffee was good and good latte art too - always a pleasant surprise to get something out of the ordinary! Easy parking. Interested to try the other roptions next time (including the fried chicken croffle).

The name doesn’t give much away, but this is one of the best food and coffee spots in Footscray/Seddon. The food and coffee are really, really, really good: from the Saigon Pan (which is a bit like bò né but not as heavy) to the shakshuka to their new pancakes (I take famously terrible photos, but please see the photo for reference - I had drizzled the coffee caramel sauce on myself). Also, their coffees are fantastic (including and up to the peanut butter delight, which really works). What really tops it off is that all the staff are just lovely. They’re so kind and considerate and patient. One of our regular spots for sure.

If you’re looking for a spacious, family-friendly cafe in Melbourne, this spot is a total gem. There’s plenty of room for big families, and they’ve thoughtfully made space for prams—perfect if you’ve got little ones in tow. The menu has a Vietnamese twist on breakfast classics, which makes it such a refreshing change from the usual. The coffee? Absolutely amazing. The staff? Super friendly and welcoming. I especially loved the scrambled eggs served over a soft bun for the kids—such a clever idea compared to the hard bread most cafes serve with eggs. The kids devoured it! For me, the crab scramble was the highlight. It was packed with flavor, beautifully balanced with those Vietnamese notes. I only wish the portion was a little bigger because it was so delicious. Overall, this is a brilliant choice if you want an alternative breakfast experience in a lovely Melbourne location. Great food, great vibe, and great people. Well done to the team—highly recommend!

Warm and welcoming team. Awesome coffee. Tried the crab meat chilli scramble which has a delicious Vietnamese inspired play of flavours - at its heart is the in-house chilli oil. Highly recommend!

Came across this coffee spot and tried the Coconut Cold Brew and the Saigon Pan. First of all, the Cold Brew - immaculate. Smooth, high-quality coffee with just the right hint of coconut. Not too sweet, not too bitter, perfectly balanced. As for the Pan, it honestly tasted just like the ones I had in Vietnam. All the flavors blended so well, the pâté, the beef, the sauce. What more could I ask for? The atmosphere is super cozy. Customer service was on point, always smiling and attentive.

A refreshing addition to the Seddon/Yarraville cafe scene that is heavily influenced by Vietnamese flavours. Great food menu and love their speciality drinks as well. Peanut iced latte is creamy and nutty without being too sweet, coconut matcha cloud was very refreshing and the Vietnamese coconut iced coffee is truly a classic done right. I had the Saigon Pan for my main dish and all the flavours are just bursting from the pan - the pâté with the baguette, the yummy beef and the perfectly cooked eggs all presented with delightful flavours and textures. Great service and even better offerings - can’t wait to go back already.
