    Disappointing strawberry matcha
    Bridget W.

    Sadly, Aroma didn't deliver. What I wanted - and braved the long line for - was a Banana Matcha. I'd heard good things and as a matcha lover I went out of my way to come here for it. When I tried to make it dairy free things went left. I asked for oat milk, which they carry, but was told they couldn't do it because they premake the banana mixture with regular milk. They told me it was just bananas and milk, so naturally I asked if they couldn't just swap the milk? The two counter employees tell me nope, that would be "too difficult" for them. Translation = lazy. So I ordered an oatmilk strawberry matcha instead, which took longer to get than my food order next door. The matcha tasted incredibly watered down and was disappointing. Had I not waited so long to get the drink I would have had them remake it, but I wasn't about to spend half my day here. Definitely wouldn't return.

    Banana Matcha & Pandan Matcha

    I really wanted to love this spot more, especially since you can see that each matcha drink is hand-whisked with so much care. It is clear they prioritize quality in their preparation, but unfortunately, the drinks themselves did not quite deliver for me. I tried the Banana Matcha and the Pandan Matcha to get a feel for their specialty options. Both drinks had a beautiful, vibrant green color that looked very promising, but the flavors did not quite live up to the aesthetic. The Banana Matcha tasted a bit watered down and lacked that rich, earthy matcha taste I look for. The Pandan Matcha was a bit more balanced in terms of flavor, but the overall texture of both drinks felt a bit off. While I appreciate the craftsmanship and the visual appeal of the drinks, the flavor profile just was not quite there this time. It's a nice spot overall, but I would love to see a bit more richness in the lattes to match the quality of the whisking.

    One of the better places we have tried in the area. Easy to order online ahead and it did not take too long for the drinks. My wife really liked Matcha, and Grandma really liked ice coffee. Will try again if we're in the area.

    Matcha should be THIS green! We tried the guava li-hing matcha and mango sticky rice matcha, and were highly impressed with the quality and flavor of their ceremonial matcha. Each drink is hand-whisked, so well worth the wait. Their cold foams were delicious and super flavorful as well. I was so excited to try the mango sticky rice matcha, as I hadn't seen this flavor anywhere else. The drink has a creamy salted coconut milk cold foam on top and some mango puree and glutinous rice on the bottom. Once everything was mixed, the mango flavor does get lost unfortunately. But still, the drink was amazing and rich. The guava li-hing matcha was sooo vibrant! I loved how the tropical flavor of the guava cold foam sprinkled with li-hing balanced out the earthy matcha. I've tried other guava matchas with guava puree on the bottom rather than cold foam on top, but I definitely prefer the latter to preserve the matcha flavor. The employees were kind and we came on a weekday afternoon with a short wait. Order at a kiosk. Limited seating inside. I wouldn't say this is an ideal study spot, but it is very aesthetic and bright. Parking was not a problem since this location is in a plaza.

    Went in for pickup and staff were friendly and had our drinks ready in a cool place so it wouldn't melt. I thought that was fantastic service. The drinks were good, not my favorite banana cream recipe in the bay area, but pretty good! Matcha tasted rich and flavorful. Overall a great experience.

    Finally tried Aroma!! I love that they have both ché and matcha drinks as a person who's a fan of both lol I've been twice now and have tried the earl grey matcha and banana matcha lattes. Between the two, the earl grey has been my favorite! The banana matcha I ordered tasted good, but for some reason the texture tasted quite thick. They hand whisk every matcha here so it can take time to be ready. My most recent visit, I waited about 25 minutes for my drink. The matcha here is nice and fragrant. You can tell that it's good quality! There's a self-service kiosk upon walking in to the left, though you can also order at the register. Decent amount of seating but definitely more of a grab and go spot IMO

    Aroma is right next to Tram Coffee and located in a busy plaza. *Warning* Depending on the time and day you go, parking can be a pain to find. Once you enter, you can order at their kiosk or with the staff at the register. We tried the: Pandan milk tea (8/10) Che (dessert drink) (7/10) Mung Bean Milk Tea (6.5/10) A bit on the bland side. It was good. Of the 3 drinks we tried, the Pandan milk tea was my favorite.

    Strawberry and cream matcha
    Wendy N.

    It's smooth, creamy, and delicious. I really enjoy it, but it's seasonal and no longer available, which is honestly disappointing. The regular strawberry matcha doesn't quite meet the expectations set by the strawberry and cream matcha, and I found myself wishing they would bring it back. The matcha is hand whisked each time, so it takes a bit longer to prepare compared to other drinks. I waited about 15 minutes, which wasn't too bad, especially considering the quality and care put into making the drink. The store has a great vibe and is located in a nice area. It feels welcoming and aesthetically pleasing, making it a nice place to hang out. However, it can get pretty crowded, and parking was difficult to find, so that's something to keep in mind when visiting.

    The banana matcha is so good. It was perfect balance of sweetness and the matcha tasted high quality n rich. I liked the egg coffee too; fyi it's strong AF

    I love getting their durian vietnamese coffee here! The durian has a strong flavor and it goes very well with the coffee. I've been here twice and I've always gotten it! I've tried their banana matcha during one occasion and I'm not sure if it was because of the ice, but when I sipped through the cap, it tasted watery/watered down. I couldn't taste much of the banana flavor either, when I tried sipping it through a straw. It seems like people come here for the matcha too, so I'm wondering if mine was just a bad batch? Service was quick and friendly. The menu is very big and they offer other items besides coffee and matcha.

    Pandan matcha latte
    Jarod N.

    Located in a busy Vietnamese shopping plaza in SJ and surrounded by about 4 other drink places, Aroma always seems to have a line! My group came on a Saturday evening, and everyone wanted Izumi Matcha a couple doors down. I, on the other hand, opted to try Aroma's matcha because I heard they had a pandan matcha latte which I always order wherever I can get it. To our surprise, there was a minimal line at both Izumi and Aroma this Saturday. The cashier at Aroma was polite and service of the drink came out fairly quickly. - Pandan matcha latte: good pandan flavor, decent matcha flavor. I wish there was more matcha to pandan ratio, and overall the drink didn't blow me away as some other premium matcha establishments do. But still a good latte and would want to try some of their other flavors next time!

    Irene L.

    Located in one of the busiest and most competitive plazas, there are so many options to choose from. Since we hadn't tried this spot before, we decided to give it a shot. There was a bit of a wait to place our order, but the drinks came out fairly quickly, which was nice. Overall, the drinks were just okay, nothing particularly distinctive compared to others I've had before.

    Jasmine snowfall
    Diana N.

    This place has the best matcha in the evergreen area imo. I really love their pandan matcha & jasmine matcha. I also like their jasmine snowfall drink as well! When you walk in, there's a kiosk for you to order in or you can order at the counter with a worker there! The drinks are served pretty fast even if there is a crowd. There are tables for you to sit and hang around with friends. I'd definitely recommend trying this place if you get the chance (:

    This is my convenient neighborhood community market, I like to buy sushi here, sometimes from the…read moresushi bar, plus vegetables, fruits, meats, eggs, milk, etc. There is a great prepared foods counter here, with separate counters to buy salads, prepared dishes, ready to take home dishes, a meat/fish counter in another area, plus a bakery and smoothie/tea/coffee bar. I like to come here for a quick meal when I'm running out of time to dine in somewhere. The staff are friendly, my mom brings her store coupons to use that come through the U.S. mail. Sign up here with your info to hear about their weekly ads and specials. The staff always seem to know where items are located when I ask. The store is very organized and clean. Parking is available outside of the store.

    I've came here on two different occasions. Yesterday and 1 week ago…read more First, the açaí bowl I got last Sunday was completely wrong. I ordered their tropical blue crush bowl. They did not have any blue chia pudding because no one made it that morning, they didn't have any mango chutney, AND they didn't even add granola in my bowl like the description stated. Highly disappointing. Second, I got their tropical smoothie (don't remember exact name) which has orange juice, passion, and other fruits I can't remember plus a swirl of coconut cream lined on the cup... The drink was not aesthetically pleasing. Didn't see a coconut cream swirled. The drink tasted just like straight orange juice only but blended with ice. I always go to New Leaf in Capitola on 41st Avenue whenever I visit and they've never messed up on my orders (except for once when they didn't have mango chutney either). But the drinks they've made for me and the açaí bowls were yummy and good looking. The workers at the juice/coffee/açaí bar here just seemed very lazy and I've been here 5+ times.

The medium sweet was still plenty sweet so if you're not about sweet drinks go lighter or order something else.

The lychee bits were a bit smaller and fibrous than I expected so I probably wouldn't personally get those again but the boba was done well.

Recently, I found myself craving it out of nowhere because I vividly remember loving their matcha milk tea. It used to be one of my go-to drinks. Wanting to satisfy my nostalgic craving, I decided to stop by yesterday. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the memory. I'm not sure if they changed the recipe, the ingredients, or maybe even just the preparation, but it definitely didn't taste like how I remembered it. So I guess it was honestly a bit disappointing, especially since I had such high expectations. I really wanted it to be as good as I remembered, but this visit just didn't hit the same. Service was great (:
