I stopped by since it's been over 5 years now. The small business was kind of suffering back then. Nowadays, beverages are much better in taste, but note, it's pricey for over $8 per beverage dessert now (with taxes included). You would think this food court area would have more affordable options, but don't expect it here. Selections are still good and size cup too. My regular Halo Halo still tasted good. Fried food items are decent. Cashier was quick and efficient. Cash and cards accepted. No self service kiosk though. Place isn't huge, but it's an old spot for convenience. At least there's still lots of tables and chairs here. They used to take a long time here when processing customer orders. I'm glad they've improved a bit. Place can use an upgrade in interior design these days. It's a casual place to grab and go. You can try ice cream sandwiches or buy bags of lumpia. As long as beverage desserts still taste good, it's definitely surviving. read more

BEST Avocado Smash in the BAY! My son does not like avocados, but this is his favorite drink

Overall rating: 5/5 Came with my fiancé on a Saturday around 7pm and the store wasn't too busy. This shop is located in a complex where there's a grocery store, bakeries, and other small shops. There's plenty of parking in the area lot and you can get to the dessert shop via the main complex entrance or through their door under their sign. We ordered: -Purple Rice Avocado (5/5): Love love LOVE this dessert! It was creamy, milky, and you taste avocado but it's not so strong. I especially loved all the textures from the toppings in the drink. My fiance doesn't even like avocado desserts and he was surprised how good it was. There's only one order station but the workers take your order fast. They were friendly and patient. We walked around and explored the complex and the grocery store while waiting and when we came back, our order was ready. Would I come back? YES! Would I recommend? Yes, and would highly recommend you try the Purple Rice Avocado! read more

Came here in hopes of grabbing a drink for myself and for my toddler. First things first, the menu can seem a bit overwhelming since there is signage after signage of offerings. POSTED. EVERYWHERE. I guess Aroma Coffee & Snacks comes in handy for those who are indecisive and need a wide selection to view and weed through. The young lady stepped out from the back fairly quickly. The item that caught my daughter's eye was the yogurt litchi and since she is known for being quite picky when it comes to her wants, I reached out to the staffer for her take on this purchase. Extra points for her being super honest and not just trying to push on additional sales. I walked away with the avocado smash, requested with extra sweetness & ice on the side. The order was made exactly how i requested. 5/5 stars. read more

My family and I each got the smashed avocado. It's less like bambu's version and reminds me of the avocado condensed milk dessert growing up. Very busy but didn't take too long. No frills place, but you do have an option to sit and enjoy your sweet treats read more

Smashed avocado, ftw! This is the place for it. Love it. See me there when I'm in town, at least 3x a year. Keep this place open for me, please! read more

Whenever my mom and I visit Seafood City, stopping by Aroma is an absolute must. One drink we can't resist is their smashed avocado drink--it's our go-to every time! We always order it with no sugar because, honestly, that's the best way to enjoy it. The natural flavors of the fresh avocado, jellies, and other toppings shine through without any added sweetness. In my opinion, it's always a solid 10/10--refreshing, flavorful, and the perfect treat! If you're looking for a place with delicious drinks and snacks, Aroma is the spot to be. I highly recommend giving it a try, especially if you love avocado-based drinks! read more

Been going here since forever... still the best smashed avocado I have ever tasted. Although now, I request for just 50% sugar, not bec it is too sweet with 100%, but just bec I am more aware to take care of myself. And honestly, lessening the sugar did not lessen the quality. read more

My go-to spot after grocery shopping at Seafood City. I haven't really tried any other dessert drink besides their smashed avocado which is always my go-to and it's always satisfying every single time. The avocados are ripe and they give just the right amount of jelly toppings and ice. I recently tried their smashed avocado purple rice drink and it was bomb. I'm a fan of purple sticky rice so adding it to the smashed avocado drink added a nice texture/taste to the overall drink. read more

I enjoy the collection for Vietnamese drinks here - my usual favorites are the Saba Mix Dessert and the Smashed Avocado. It's quite busy and has a lot of customers. There is a discount if you pay in cash. I took 1 star off because they used to have amazing Banh Mi sandwiches here - which they no longer serve. read more

3.5 stars. Aroma Coffee and Snacks is located in the plaza that has Seafood City, Korea Garden, Goldilocks, etc. A small shop that has vietnamese drinks, che desserts, snacks, etc. Dark Grass Jelly was good and creamy. It was filled with mung beans, coconut milk, agar agar, and grass jelly. Tasty. The cashier is friendly. I assume she's the owner. Quick and easy to order. Cash or card for payment. They also have an area to sit and enjoy. read more

We were in the area running errands and had one last stop to the Great Mall down the street. Aroma Coffee and Snacks offers a variety of Vietnamese Desserts (Che), coffee drinks, fresh juices, smoothies, milk tea drinks, and snacks. I ordered the Avocado Smash and I would confidently argue that this dessert drink is the star of the drink menu. It was perfect on all accounts for a dessert drink -- bite size avocado bits with tapioca everything. It's one of those things that can't be described, only experienced! We ordered some snacks to share: French Fries and Crispy Shrimp Rolls. There is a small dining area in the front and a bigger one toward the back door leading to the parking lot. It's located as a stand inside an indoor mall so you'll feel more foot traffic than usual compared to a traditional storefront. I will make it a point to stop in for an Avocado Smash from their menu when I'm in Milpitas again. My only critique is when I ask for extra ketchup for my fries (which I had to twice), please give me more than 3 ketchup packets at a time. I know times are tough but it's a big basket of fries to get through with just 3 packets of ketchup. Photo attached for a visual. We were generous with gratuity ($7) of a $28 bill for two drinks and two snacks -- you could have just given me extra ketchup the first time I asked. Sigh. read more

Aroma Coffee and Snacks - My fave Smashed Avocado - Desserts Near Me - Milpitas, California

**A Hidden Gem for Chè Enjoyers** This spot may not catch your eye right away--it's a bit of a hole in the wall--but don't let that fool you. The menu might seem a bit sparse in descriptions, but the friendly staff are always willing to help explain the options or make adjustments to suit your tastes. I've been coming here regularly, and I'm absolutely hooked on their Chè thai (also called halo halo on their menu )and their smashed avocado. They have a variety of other items on the menu, but I typically just get their dessert drinks. If you're looking for something sweet and refreshing, this place won't disappoint! The fruit is very fresh! read more

Located inside the same building as Seafood City, it's definitely popular by all those who finish grocery shopping. I honestly only come here for their smashed avocado, which seems to be a hit as I see many people often order this. I'm sure their other drinks and food are great, too. I recommend ordering their smashed avocado light on sweetness as it can get pretty sweet. Can't go wrong with ordering this during those hot summer days! read more

My 3rd time coming here..my new favorite is dragon milk tea..delicious :-) they have shrimp chips made on the spot.delicious too..next time I need to grab more than one :-) the place have beautiful setting..the staff are kind and helpful :-) Thank you Aroma staff. I appreciate you :-) read more

They have refreshing Vietnamese Che (dessert drinks). Toppings in the desserts have become scarce lately. Price is about $6.50 depending on which ones you get. A complaint is that they should have the prices listed on the menu, but it is nowhere to be found. The price is comparable to boba drinks next door, but the the toppings are better. The smashed avocado is popular here. I've tried the Thai, the egg pudding, mango tango, cassava, young coconut, saba & halo halo desserts. They're all good. The cassava has real chunks in it. The saba may be seasonal and I feel that the cantaloupe is too thick to suck up the straw- you can ask for a spoon to eat it. They used to offer snacks, but they've made the menu more simplified. read more

It's located in a small shopping mall with a few other snack places. I like the coconut-milk based Che drinks here, and my taro drink didn't disappoint. They use fresh taro and not taro powder like some boba places do. They don't put out the prices in their menu though, I suggest they display prices. read more

Don't even look at the rest of their menu - all you need is the smashed avocado! It's creamy yet refreshing with fresh avocado and jellies. One of my favorite Vietnamese desserts and I've tried other places but Aroma makes it the best! After all these years, they still consistently make it so gooood. Also, still love it even though the price went up. The ladies here are nice and they are so quick with orders. Oh yeah, don't sleep on their pandan waffles. They are actually really good and one of the best I've ever had. The outside is crispy and the inside is nice and chewy. The pandan flavor is just right. Every time I leave Aroma with a smashed avocado in one hand and a pandan waffle in the other, I just feel really happy so I'll definitely continue coming. read more

This is a fascinating food court like building inside a plaza. You walk in the door and takes you into the food court area outside a seafood city super market. The manager who took my order was super nice. I ordered my favorite smashed avocado with no condensed milk. She knew immediately that I was trying to cut sugar and asked if I wanted another milk type and no sugar added. She told me all drinks are made with fresh ingredients, no powder. I am definitely coming back to try their ube and cassava smoothies next time. I also got the fishballs to go. They were piping hot and super tasty. A good sized serving for the price. read more

It was our first time there for an stop over for a long drive. My daughter ordered milk tea( her favorite) but when she tasted it ,it has no flavor tasted like water. When I told the lady in the cashier she said it is pre mix and it comes as it is. I asked if they could add a creamer or milk to taste like milk tea the cashier and the other lady gave us an attitude . Eventually they added milk but the taste was the same so $7 went to waste. The staff should handle complaints well. read more

been going here for years and have tried a lot of their menu! i cannot eat avocado but all my family loves the smashed avocado drink. they like the taro one too, and i can vouch for it... it's pretty good. i used to get young coconut, egg pudding, and mango fango drinks, but stopped. nothing wrong with them, i just wanted to try something new. lately ive been getting the passionfruit drink which is basically passionfruit chunks in really crisp soda. never flat, always bubbly, and the passionfruit flavor is very strong. my new favorite! read more

Looove smashed avocado and taro... especially TARO! It's a great place for these yummy drinks! I'd give them a 5 star if I absolutely love everything in the menu. They may not be the best in such a diverse community like the bay, but they are definitely not bad at all! read more

My boyfriend and I were in dire need of a midday pick me up and I'm so happy that we stumbled upon this place! My boyfriend ordered a Cà Phê Sữa Đá (Vietnamese iced coffee) and I ordered smashed avocado chè. The iced coffee was freshly brewed, strong, creamy and really good! The chè was so pretty amazing as well! One of my favorite Vietnamese desserts! I'm allergic to avocados, but I'm willing to take that risk to have this again! We were fortunate enough to have the owner ring us up and tell us a little bit about her business. They have been opened for 10 years, wow that's amazing! Im super excited to come back to try other items from the menu because everything looked so yummy. read more

So I sent my coworker here to pick up a drink and she got the wrong one(the yelp photo of the of the young coconut mix is wrong, says coconut halo halo ) so I come back to exchange it (did not even drink cuz I'm allergic to red bean) and they make a big deal! Saying that this is their money, (uh it's my money spent) and they don't do exchanges and that its not their fault, they r very busy and dont have time for this. Well WELCOME TO OWNING A BUSINESS. I come here allot and like the drinks but she made feel attacked just for needing to exchange for a drink for something I wasn't allergic to! Um.. isn't the customer always right? So much for being a loyal customer and referring all my coworkers and friends. read more

I never reviewed this place? I thought I did. Hands down the best "Smashed Avocado" I've ever had. The owner (pretty sure he's the owner) Kendu even has his own catch phrase! He says, "Kendu can do it! *thumbs up*" and that was so awesome to see in person. For $4.25, you get a cup of deliciousness. I ordered one for myself and 2 for my parents to bring back to the East Bay. Because I mentioned I would be bringing 2 to go, Kendu mentioned they have a to-go option, which is separating the shaved ice to be added on later so it lasts longer. Genius. He carefully packaged the drinks, sealed them up boba style (putting the cups into the machine to seal them), and then putting the shaved ice in separate bags. You can tell he really cares about what he makes and the image of Aroma Coffee and Snacks. Kendu can definitely do it, and deserves the highest of praise. He says to like him on Facebook as well: https://www.facebook.com/AromaCoffeeAndSnacks/ read more
