the drinks here are pretty tasty but on the expensive side. the ice aroma is a classic and I definitely recommend if you've never tried it. It tastes like an ice capp but a little less sweet, which I like also has good vibes here! store design is cute and cozy read more

OMG ... they killed the soup. My mouth was burning only tasted pepper I order the pumpkin soup and + egg salad Shrinkflation I understand but did they have to kill the soup with black pepper? Where they trying to hide the taste intentionally? read more

I typically enjoy coming to this location on campus when they first open to avoid the crowd and the noise. As the hours go by, this place really picks up with the number of students coming in and out, with more and more groups - so the lines and waittimes become long and tables run out as well. I came in for a half portion of the portobello mushroom sandwich as well as a medium hazelnut latte. The food quality and prices were similar to my previous experiences at other Aroma locations. Upon ordering, I was told that my sandwich would take a while since they were making fresh bread. I was asked if that was okay and if I wanted to receive my latte first and I agreed. I think it took about 15 minutes for my sandwich to come, but I didn't mind since I was sitting down to work, plus this meant the bread was extra soft and warm! Delicious. Overall, service was friendly and the place was quite clean at this early hour or the day. read more

Aroma Espresso Bar - Portobello mushroom sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Caffeine is needed to start the day. I love the salads...and the beverages they have to offer.. I do find it slightly expensive for half of a sandwich.... But regardless I still go back and just ignore the price. A great alternative in comparison to the lack of other coffee shops around. read more

Honestly I'm a bit hesitant to write this review as this is my go-to happy place and I really don't want it to get crowded! Ah well, here we go! Sometimes it seems like the campus is overcrowded and that there is literally no room to sit down, rewind, and maybe get some work done. That's when I head here for a coffee in a fancy mug. If you are feeling hungry then I recommend the power burger with a side of soup (or a salad). Friendly service, fast WiFi, not too crowded, not too loud. read more

This is one of my favourite places on campus as It's a great place to study. The vibe is really chill and it's not very loud. I love their butter croissant and recently I tried their chocolate croissant and it was very delicious. Their berry and mint smoothie is also one of my favourites and it's really refreshing! read more

Great place to hang out in a relatively quiet environment. They have a large seating space and with benches in the middle that can easily accommodate a group of 10-12 people, this place is a great for large groups as well. We tried their Cortado with Soy Milk and Ice Aroma Light (with Soy Milk). Cortado was really great- the second best I have had to date (still not compared to the best Cortado I have had in Kentucky US). Ice Aroma Light was okay. It was supposedly less sugar but it still tasted quite sugary. A good drink on a hot day though. Overall, it's a nice place to hang out with friends or even if you are on your own. read more

aroma has a great study atmosphere if you're looking for a study space and it's aesthetically pleasing inside. I like how you can sit down and they will announce your name to get your drink or food items so that you don't have to stand and wait. the food and drinks however are quite over priced which is why it is getting a three star because you can find similar alternatives at other places for a lower price I chose to get the hot chocolate in a medium size and it totaled to $6 which is quite expensive. when I received it the presentation was beautiful and it had that premium chocolate look that was stated on the menu. the hot chocolate is very creamy and sweet with a rich chocolate flavour. the powder at the top resembles dark chocolate and has a slight bitter taste but compliments the drink well. the drink is also warm not hot so I could drink it right away. would I get this again ? perhaps if I'm willing to splurge but I would much rather pay $2 for a coffee culture hot chocolate that is just as good read more

Aroma Espresso Bar - hot chocolate - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I used to go there everyday since it located right close to my residence. I think the service is great. The boss of this store is kind and open-minded. They will serve you with great attitude. The coffees for sure are the best play in the store. I would think the drinks are way better than the food. However, it seems that some bartenders didn't know the menu really well. Sometimes they would offer me different kind of coffee. Clearly, they don't drink that much coffee as I do. I believe some bartenders didn't know the difference between Cortado and Canadiano. Overall, the foods are little pricy while the quality is just like average. Salad is the best choice for this store. Pancake and sandwich get pretty natural taste. People who like healthy style food would love it. It is a great place to study. That's the primary reason I go there everyday. They also get a variety of cookie and snacks. It is also a great place to hangout with your friends. read more

Aroma Espresso Bar never disappoints. Here, the aesthetics are quite pleasing and overall ambiance is relaxing. Thus, it serves as an amazing study spot for close University students. At this particular visit, I ordered the Iced Berry Lemonade and Bocconcini Salad! The Lemonade was very refreshing and for a typical price. It was a beautiful sunset colour and had the perfect blend of tart and sweet and I would definitely get it again. The Bocconcini Salad is a personal favourite of mine and is not on the menu, you just need to ask! It comes with arugula, tomatoes, onions and lovely cheese. If you're a lover of the god that is bocconcini, this is the perfect salad for you. I would suggest Aroma to only allow one door to be open and lock the other entrance because it gets quite cold, especially in the winter and considering the fact that doors are located right next to seating areas and not near cash/entrance area. I shivered alot and it wasn't a good feeling considering it was the coldest day and I also (silly me) got an Iced Berry Lemonade. read more

This place only recently opened but it gets really busy. It's also pretty small so the tables fill up very fast. Regardless, you should dine in because the store is really nice and has good vibes. Menus are hard to read (maybe because I need new glasses) so they have a few mini menus in front of the cash register. The staff was nice but service could have been faster. I got a medium Iced Chai Latte ($4.65) good but very light chai flavour. I wish the taste was a little stronger because all the ice diluted the taste even more. The Shakshuka ($9.95) was pretty good. It's two eggs in a warm red pepper and tomato sauce served with tahini and bread. It was tasty and very aromatic. I loved that the egg yolks were still runny because last time I got it at a different location, the yolks were fully cooked. They also gave more bread than I needed. Although I had a good experience, my friends did complain about the sandwiches being very small so keep that in mind when ordering them. read more

Nice open space. Good coffee and sandwiches. Often long lines. Lines can be confusing (who's already ordered and who's waiting to order). A bit noisy. WiFi's pretty good. This is the kind of place I like when it's not busy. read more

The drinks are overpriced for how they taste. Had the lemonade mint drink and ice hazelnut latte. Both were a disappointment and cost $6-8 each. Very limited cold drinks menu with caffeine. Sandwiches were good which saves it from getting one star. read more

This location is new and is really nice and spacious inside. I love Aroma coffee and it's a great addition to the York U neighbourhood. It's located in the bottom of a student apartment building along with a number of other new food places. I enjoy a few things about aroma which is their coffee, breakfast, and the water they always have available. The chocolate that comes with your coffee always makes me smile because it reminds me of Europe. I do think the sandwiches are highly overpriced but they do taste decent. read more

The wait staff are very nice. Coffee is mediocre and it always takes forever to make drinks. Often the drinks are not made right on the first try. I usually get soy milk and they have definitely used the wrong milk before. It's quite loud inside. Last time I went took 20 minutes to get my drink. read more

Bad Service coming from a Franchise owner itself. I ordered chocolate cookies and pistachio latte today and I asked if my latte could be less cream and the owner of that location said it was made already... he could have asked the server to just help me remove the creAm or just make a new one, for 1 latte he can't even give a lady a great latte experience. As a customer who is disappointed, I uttered to the cashier area that their service is bad. I went back to my table waiting for my latte the franchise owner/ cashier followed me to my table and said this to me 'We don't tolerate rude customer in here. he kept going and threatened me to call security. I don't deserved this kind of treatment. The owner is horribly rude and mean. I swear I will never come back to this cafe bar ever again. Not a great experience. Location: across Princess Margaret Hospital University Avenue. read more
