I used to buy cheese danish at this location. They were quite often underbaked. I took them back a few times, talked to the store manager, was promised this will be fixed. Didn't go there for a few months. Today I bought cheese danish - it's underbaked again. read more

Popped into the closest cafe to warm up from the cold, and was very pleased to see that there was a small sit down and dine in area of the cafe. The environment is clean and friendly, with kind employees and quick service. A QR code vaccination passport is required to dine in, and aroma espresso bar does not accept just the vaccine receipt unless it can be scanned by a phone. Overall a warm and cozy place to sit while you warm up from frostbites; would come back again :) read more

the pastry here is pretty good however the coffee is too weak. they need to improve because it is worse than Mcdonald's. i will not buy coffee here. read more

Giving it a 2 for the ambience, the patio experience and the non-dairy milk options but the cappuccino and the Ice Brazilian hazelnut drink weren't all that good. I agree with some of the reviewers that the staff make you feel like you are more of an annoyance and just want you to quickly spill out what you came here for and be on your way. read more

Sometimes just what u need is a simple iced americano with a splash of oatmilk! Quite busy with the patio outside and probably more staff needed due to the high volume of orders... it's been awhile, Aroma! read more

Aroma espresso bar - Iced americano with a splash of oatmilk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Arrived here on a Tuesday afternoon. Super hot & humid day outside, inside Aroma the air is still quite stuffy (maybe because the seating area is so cramped). I ordered a Ice coffee and Avocado sandwich; service was great! Very fast and on point. My only qualm with this location is that the available seating inside is so sparse.... I always saw Aroma as a good study cafe, so first time being here, I was kind of disappointed. They also don't have outlets available for charging. Food is consistent. Ice coffee is great here. read more

music that is coming out of outside speaker of your cafe keeps playing all night long. i live above your store and it doesn't let me open my windows at night. Several times I came to talk to administrator - lady told me that she can't control the music locally and that she will speak to the owner or management. After I came next time to get the feedback, since there was no changes - she said that there's no response from the management and suggested me to call the police read more

Got a simple matcha latte with almond milk in this Aroma with a very nice exterior design. Delicious and I loved how the barista added a cute touch (latte art) to it. Nice service, fast wifi, and great experience! read more

Good coffee which explains the lines. Place was a mad house. Girl asked my husband which bread but then said they were out of whole wheat, so what other bread would he like? I asked, which breads do they have? Only white or multigrain currently. Wouldn't you start with that info? She was also prioritizing sweeping behind the counter over attending to customers. At that point there were 10 ppl behind us. Strange priorities. I came the next day though for coffee again. I like that they serve it was a small square of chocolate. The drip coffee is really good. read more

New location, nice patio, friendly greeting/cash out, but my experience was somewhat strange. I ordered an Iced Americano, requested less ice, and it arrived at least 1.5" from the top of the cup. When the barista asked if I wanted "more water", I said yes, and she literally turned on the tap and shamelessly added more water. I found that very odd. Shouldn't your servings be more or less consistent? Why are you adding more water...from the tap into my cold drink? Don't you have a filtered pitcher or shouldn't it be topped up with more espresso?? This has never happened to me before, so it I left with a less than good impression of this location. read more

I love a good aroma mocha coffee or fresh mint tea as a treat. For this location, drinks are delicious, consistent with other locations. Service was slow and odd. Hours are strange, closing at 9pm Friday night. This location should be a prime date spot. read more

One of my favorite locations! I'm keen on phistacio latte and Green Chai Moca latte as these are just superb! I haven't seen anything like these at Tim's or even Starbucks. The sandwiches are a bit overpriced but the good thing is that you can order halves. Personnel there is always friendly and helpful if you are stuck behind the counter trying to figure out what you actually want to order. Kudos to Aroma! You are great! read more

This place has a great patio. Personally, I love the espresso beverages here. The sandwiches are alright and very reasonably priced. I've worked remotely from here for a few hours in the past and I wouldn't hesitate to do so again. read more

Convenient location, nice view of front yard of the condo's open area.

Recently I've become obsessed with patios. I love the fact that they have a lot of tables outside. I tried the house blend and it is comparable to other branded coffee shops. Reliable wifi, and great and outstanding customer service.. I also think the little complementary chocolate deserves a star. read more

Great little location. A little small but proximity to the subway and empress walk make this a prime accessible location in North York. The veggie burger is amazing! read more

Believe it or not, this location is the first time I've ever stepped inside one of these aroma espresso bars. I can't believe I've avoided it for so long, given how many of them there are around the city, but for some reason I've just never been compelled to give them a try. Until now, quite obviously. I think I was drawn by the shiny new location. Something like the visual equivalent of new car smell, I just can't drag myself away from unscuffed floor tiling. Also, I wanted wifi and a plug. I got both things. There's a decent amount of seating both inside and outside, and I saw that the patio was actually almost full, with happy lunchers taking advantage of the summer sun. I chose inside for the air conditioning and power outlet, which was not bad either. There are normal tables and chairs, high tables with bar-stool height chairs, and even low tables with squishy comfy seating. Goldilocks would find her ideal seating in here. I'm assuming the food and beverages are quite consistent across all aroma espresso bars, but in case you are out of the loop like me, the food looked quite good, and the smallest size for a coffee is medium, not small. There were also little samples of what I think was cornbread, and that was actually quite delicious. Overall, definitely fulfills the triple threat of a) ladies to lunch spot, b) study spot, and c) hanging out with friends for chats and sips spot. read more

Aroma espresso bar is a little pricey overall but serves delicious drinks and serves as a great study spot. Service here can be a bit slow sometimes but I think baristas were friendly. The only thing is, they need more seating! Perhaps getting rid of the high tables and rearranging the rest of the tables/chairs might help. I recommend their teas, ice aroma and cheese danish! P.s. located right across from the North York Centre station and street parking is available. read more

This is a new aroma cafe near north york centre station. It has a lot of windows, which makes the entire store bright and sunny. The coffee is just as good as all the other aroma locations. The only downside is that when the patio is closed (rain/snow), the store gets packed and it is difficult to find a seat. Otherwise, this is a great place to study or meet with friends. read more

The pastries and drinks were decent, same as any Aroma location. I ordered the Aroma Coffee and I didn't even realize there was chocolate until I got to the bottom of my cup and there were thick globs. I think the barista forgot to stir it or should have at least told me to stir it myself. They forgot to give us our pastries with the drinks so I had to go up to the bar and remind them of our order, and then they forgot to put my cookie on the tray so I had to go up to the baristas and ask again (chocolate chip cookie is hard and gross btw, do not recommend)! Also, not sure if it's only something you get with to-go orders but we never received the little chocolates that come with the order. Service wasn't bad, just VERY forgetful. read more

The salads are pretty good here and very healthy. Tried the quinoa salad, pasta salad and the sweet potato salad. My favorite is probably the sweet potato! read more

Aroma espresso bar - Great cappuccinos - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I used to like this location, but I visited yesterday & their pandemic precautions were glaringly subpar compared to other restaurants/cafés in the city. The person behind the cash register made our orders without cleaning their hands AND with their mask used merely as a chin strap. For contact tracing, they had put a pen on a table for anyone to touch & write down their name. I get that maintaining strict precautions can be challenging but with most places having just re-opened you see a lot of effort, & that was clearly lacking at this location. read more

Really nice place, exactly what you expect from aroma; good coffee, and specially good food. They have a nice patio which is always crowded. Inside sitting area is a little small. But overall really nice place for coffee or midday snack read more

I love Aroma. I go to several ones in the city BUT i just discovered that Aroma DOES NOT RECYCLE! Can anyone believe this? What kind of coffee shop/ espresso bar doesn't offer nor take initiative to recycle? Is this even legal? I was upset to hear and see this at several locations. Haven't found one yet that recycles. On principle, I will not go back and I encourage others to do the same until they step up! It's 2018! read more

Perfect little spot on nice hot summer days. As sitting inside during the summers are freezing!! Also a bit small inside. But for casual coffee. And no need to buckle down a lot of work. Good place to unwind read more

Since this location has opened we've had what can only be described as an up and down experience. At first this was an exciting alternative to the several Second Cups and Starbucks in the area. Despite the name Aroma Espresso, the star attraction is definitely not the espresso drinks but instead their selection of food. The espresso drinks are inconsistent at the best of times and downright awful at the worst of times. Considering the wonderful experience I've had with local brands of a similar size in Vancouver such as Caffe Artigiano, Waves and Blenz it's sad to see a Toronto company can not compete in terms of drink quality. The star for aroma is the food. Their croissants and pastries are fantastic, assuming they have baked them. Do not expect to show up to this location at the time they have posted on the door as open and expect to be able to get a pastry. No you have to wait at least a half hour to 45 minutes for the full selection to be available. And if you want to go late at night around say 730 or 8 to get a sandwich, there is a possibility they will have randomly closed their kitchen. To make matters worse they as of this weekend they are not opening until 9am which for those paying attention means that they are not likely to have the full selection of pastries and food available until 930 or 945. A coffee shop that has no pastries until 930 in the morning? Pathetic. Bringing up that west coast comparison again, Caffe Artigiano, the company that realistically spearheaded latte art in this country but also has a wide selection of food, has 7 of their 8 Vancouver locations open before 8 on weekends. read more

Saturday morning so quiet only 3 customers which is fantastic for me however. Service terribly slow. Asks me for my name but never informs me when food is ready so it sits getting cold. Totally forgot one item that I ordered. For spending $30 on a breakfast it sure is aggravating. Also can they do something about the fan noise in the restaurant? You can hardly hear the radio let alone yourself think. read more

Place is a bit dirty and/or not well maintained however London fog and Cortado are very nice

I love Aroma, great food. However, service at this location was not good - I asked the cashier what the difference is between ice aroma and ice aroma light and she said "I don't know" and laughed. I never got an answer. I also had to repeat my simple order 3 times and she still put it in wrong. read more

I visited with my friend for a cup of tea. The server seemed conscientious when serving. It was a great place to chill. I would love to come back with my friends. read more

yAs super super love this location. Just grab some coffee and you will feel like heaven in a summer day. Nice and fast service in the place!

Service is great, however, salad here was a huge disappointment. I ordered a Classic Caesar Salad along with an iced americano. When I got my salad, condition of veggie was literally disgusting (Romaine lettuce was partially gone bad / REALLY??). I mean, do they not check the condition of the plate they serve? I'd still come back for a coffee, since the location is very convenient for myself, but I would never recommend any kind of salad that contains romaine lettuce, unless they want to be poisoned from the plate. Huge disappointment. read more

Great little coffee shop. I ate breakfast and lunch here several days. The food was always healthy, fresh, and served quickly. You don't find all three of those in a place very often! The staff is also very helpful and friendly. In fact, the last time I went in I mentioned that I'd be leaving in the morning and they gave me a small discount as my "going away" gift! Never had that before. read more

Hate to do this - I usually love Aroma, every other location that I've been to in the City has their act together. This place, not so much. It is usually dirty, garbage on the tables, and staff can't be bothered to clean up. The worst though are the bathrooms. They are sickening, I am not sure how often they are cleaned. Without going into too many details, after going in there in the summer I lost my appetite. On top of that, there was no soap in the bathrooms so I am really hoping staff have other places in the restaurant to wash their hands. Staff gave me attitude when I tried to bring the state of the bathrooms to their attention, and then thinking I left talked loudly about how the bathrooms were fine and they did not know what I was talking about. I guess the chances of hygiene improving there are quite low, so I will not be going back. read more

it is a pleasure to see Vincent at this location. He always goes above and beyond and remembers the small things that matter. Best lunch spot in North York. Thank you Vincent! read more

This Aroma offers the standard fare, but it's the outstanding service and clean restaurant that garner it 5 stars. I work in the area and this Aroma is a welcome relief from the standard hamburgers and noodles that are offered for lunch. Every time I go in, the service is friendly, fast and helpful. From day one, I switched my morning coffee and lunchtime locale to this Aroma. Also, the patio is beautiful and comfortable. read more
