Review Visit: April 10th, 2017 Aroma = Amora. Aroma backwards is Amora and Amora means 'love' in Spanish. I do love some good coffee, but do I love Aroma? Yes. Aroma was fantastic. When driving to it, it was a bit hard to find due to it being tucked in with a placed called The Green Thumbers, which is a pretty nifty gardening store in itself. So aside from being attached to a gardening store, it is a full-fledged cafe/coffeehouse on it's own. Upon entering, the staff was super nice and struck up a conversation and asked what I was doing today. Told them the boring part of my business reasons for being in the area, but also the fact that I like to try new coffee places while out and about. They offer a large variety of coffees, lattes, frappes, baked goods, sandwiches, salads and more. I ended up just getting a specialty drink called 'The Tuxedo', which was hot espresso and milk with white and dark Mocha added to it. It sounded pretty good and it did not disappoint at all. In their display of baked goods, they had a chocolate peanut butter cookie that was calling my name... or my sweet tooth was calling for it. Either way, I requested that along with my coffee. The barista even offered to warm it up. I tell you, this may be one of the best cookies I have ever had. I've had some of the best across Illinois, especially at Insomnia Cookies, and this place may rival them on the cookie level. The interior is very formal with out being too formal. It felt cozy but modern. Everything was gray/white/black with nice furniture and some wall decor. But the best part? The two stuffed bears in there. One was about 5 feet tall and there was a baby bear on the other side of the chair, holding a coffee cup. You can see them below. They aren't taxidermy bears mind you, but stuffed plush bears from the store it is attached to. This is the second coffeehouse I have been to with bears in it, the first being Thirty-Thirty Coffee Co. in Peoria, IL. Bears and Coffee go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly... maybe? No bear puns yet? That's un-bear-able! Overall, Aroma Coffee is Amora indeed! The coffee was great, the cookie was beyond amazing and getting your photo taken with the bear is an added bonus. Aside from it being a bit hidden so one could easily drive by, it is worth hunting for. The coffee/cookies that is. Not the adorable bears inside. read more

Would be a 5/5 star if they allowed service animals (it's illegal not to) Though I didn't have a service animal I know many who rely on them so it's upsetting :( many restaurants allow working dogs and even just some dog friends but a cafe attached to a garden doesn't? Everything else was good though I'd go back for the crepes read more

This place nailed my families' caffeine needs. We had a very long day as my son did a college visit with Augustana. The fire was too hot, in a good way. Definitely putting this on the visit list when we come see our guy in college. read more

My husband and I were told we could not come in with our ADA registered service dog today! I guess if you have a disability and have your service dog with you, you have to leave! I have never had this happen anywhere before and even though it's considered discrimination, Aroma doesn't care! We will not be back! read more

This is definitely the best coffee shop in Davenport if you're looking for someplace to study/get work done! It's a cute coffee shop connected to a garden center. They have a lot of unique specialty drinks, but my go-to is usually the iced coffee with some almond milk. Hubby loves their Zoomers, which is a flavored energy drink where you get to pick any two fruity flavors to mix. We've tried their sandwiches before too, and they're an awesome mid-study lunch! read more

What a great addition to the QC coffee scene! (I know it's been around for a while, but this was my first time!) I loved everything about this place! First, the coffee. I had a delicious cold brew that was to die for! It has me WIRED right now! Tasted great and was very refreshing. Second, the food. This time all I got was a scone, which was GREAT, next time I'll have to try their salads! Saw some being delivered to tables and they looked amazing! Third, atmosphere. LOVED IT. Perfect for writing some blog posts and hanging out! I would recommend this place to all of my friends! read more

Definitely a hidden gem. It's really hidden (was hiding from me for a quite some time!!) Awesome atmosphere. Very relaxing. Nice decors, furnitures, good pastries, friendly service. I had matcha latte with soy milk. I drink lots of matcha (grew up in Japan...) so to me, the matcha latte here was 4 . Otherwise, everything was fantastic :)! I'll def come back again!! read more

So-so coffee. Didn't order food, just a couple of their fall lattes. Taste was off, weird aftertaste....not sure if the syrup is old? Not very good....so noted for next time, we will look elsewhere read more

Love the atmosphere! As a college student it's nice to study in a different environment every now and then. The coffee was delicious! Customer service was amazing! read more

My husband and I enjoyed the Caesar salad and Barista sandwich before our H&R Block appointment today. The restaurant is a warm stop with tasty food. read more

I love coffee and I'm super picky. Aroma has become my new fav! Coffee tastes fresh, and not 'burnt' like other establishments close by. Aroma chooses the best ingredients so the flavor is above the bar. Way to go Aroma Coffee! read more

One star is not fair when it comes to coffee and atmosphere but I have decided that putting up with crappy service from the manager for a couple years is enough. She has a terrible attitude. The girls that work for her are great but she acts as if she is miserable being there. I have come here hundreds of times and spent thousands of dollars over the last 6 years but today she let me know that I was not to have outside food or drink on the patio and she was so crappy about it that I left. The people I was with had ordered at Aroma but I had a drink that I was finishing and didn't wish to order again. I understand that the rules are just that but at the end of the day, I think they should take into account my history and decide if that is the hill they want to die on. And I guess it was. Good riddance. read more

This place was just what I needed to find. A quiet, calm, and beautiful place to just relax!! Decor is magical, and the food/coffee is 10X better than any Starbucks I've ever been to!! Will definitely be back!!! read more

My husband took me here and I have to say this is definitely my Favorite coffee place, very unique it's a must for anyone that is in town.

I love sitting outside on a nice day at this little coffee shop. Coffee is good (I haven't tried their food). Inside seating can be a little loud, depending on the crowd. I do wish they had a bike rack, since I like to bike there when the weather is nice. Love the atmosphere! read more

Such a perfect hidden gem of a coffee and pastry and breakfast sandwich shop! We had the ham and bacon breakfast sandwiches and they were delicious! Cutest decor and great drink selection too! Highly recommend! read more

This place has great coffee and food. I particularly like the pour overs. We enjoyed the patio dining, but the inside is very comfortable and inviting also. The staff is friendly as well. I highly recommend this place. read more

Walking it's a garden center to get to a coffee shop may not seem...normal. I was set to settle with a corner carved out for coffee with a table, maybe two. I was so pleased to walk into a cafe setting with an entire separate area from the store designated for drinking coffee, eating sandwiches, and socializing/studying. I had an americano and the person I was with had an americano and a Sandwhich. Their portion sizes are generous! The atmosphere is beautiful, calming, and certainly not what you'd expect walking into a garden center! I have allergies and was very appreciative of the separation between the plants and the dining area. I sat inside the entire time I was there, but to get there, you can't miss the outdoor seating area. You can't miss is because it's beautiful. It, again, is separated from the rest of the store, so it feels like two separate operations. Perfect for a nice cool day! (It was 90 degrees when I went, so we opted for air conditioning.) Bottom line: If you're looking to get together over a cup of coffee, or looking for a place to study, DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS PLACE! Let's work together to make this place a success and keep it open! read more

When I learned of a new coffee shop opening in the Quad Cities, I was very excited. Coffee shops are basically my second home. Where I spend a small (actually a lot) of time, to get work done, meet with a friend or to have a leisurely cup of joe. There are a few qualities that attract me to coffee shops over others; access to free wifi, a comfortable and inviting ambiance with lots of seating, friendly service, DELICIOUS coffee and food, location and prices! Aroma Coffee offers all of what I love and more! Being connected to Green Thumbers provides Aroma with a unique curb appeal. Convenience for customers is important, especially for anyone who is already shopping for beautiful flowers/plants can now reward themselves with coffee or food without having to leave the store! I am looking forward to relaxing in the quiet, sitting area during the winter with the ambiance of the electric fireplace! read more
