Just for the environment and the set up, I will give you an extra star but overall I would say the coffee and the lattes are about three stars. The service is actually really great and he'll always find a smile but when he actually try the food or taste some of the drinks, it is hit or miss. Again presentation great but overall, I would say your food might be a hit or miss. read more

Aromas - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

awful every time I've ever been here. Ordered a GREEN tea latte and it was white and tasted like sugar milk. Had to inform the barista that I ordered it with oat milk due to lactose intolerance because I noticed they forgot to write it on my cup when I ordered/make note of it. Avocado toast is overpriced and bad, had to go back and ask for seasoning since I was given slices of unseasoned avocado on bread read more

Aromas - a cup of coffee and a plate of food - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I love this cute little coffee shop! It is located in the middle of campus near the Immaculata. The coffee is good coffee and the staff are generally nice. It gets super busy during lunch time but in the mornings, it's pretty quiet. I love getting their crepes- the savory Turkey Pesto one is super yummy. I highly recommend! They take cash, credit card, or campus cash/dining dollars. read more

10/10 best place to go on campus for breakfast / coffee. It's super nice and modern inside. Just be aware that it can get extremely crowded! I suggest coming in the very early or late morning if you don't have classes. read more

Aromas - a cup of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

This was my favorite place to hang out on campus and after the remodel, it's even more beautiful than before. Aromas is the best. Besides always running into familiar faces, this was the best spot to grab a coffee and either do work (or gossip and talk with friends). I love the almond lattes! Let's be real, it's no Starbucks. The lattes usually come out inconsistently and with some burnt espresso on the bottom, but they are still good. The main thing about this place is just the atmosphere and environment. read more

food is awesome best on campus but service is absolute shit i've been waiting for my meaty crepe for 40 mins

I have spent so many nights here....studying my little head out with only their coffee or tea to keep me company. Their drinks fluctuate from horrible to pretty damn good and everything in between, depending on the person or time during the semester. It sucks when the semester first starts since the student workers are just learning the ropes but they progressively get better. The chatter can be deafening during peak hours and it gets lonely as the day progresses into night. At night, when its nice and quiet is my favorite time to swing by- yay no huge lines! I have consumed way too many calories from the yummy pastries (thus making me a patron of 24 hour fitness). But they also have salads or sandwiches that I like to buy for lunch....and other good things like seaweed salad and brownies! Mmmm their Early Grey latte is also lovely...it keeps me warm during my 3 hour night classes. I just slip away to Aromas, get my tea and make it back to class just in time during my 10 minute break :D During finals, you will find me here with my head buried in books....just ignore my frazzled appearance....I swear I am cuter than that :P read more

Pretty nice since the remodel. If you're basic and love avo toast and things of this nature, this is the spot for you! Also, on campus just FYI read more

Located in the the middle of campus and completely remodelled. Super cute place to grab coffee, croissants, macaroons, smoothies and more. A lot of people are fans of their avocado toast. It's a great place to hang out with friends. Beware, the line can get very long in between classes so you if you are in a rush, I wouldn't recommend going there. Bacon breakfast crepe and the condensed milk crepe. $9 each. They have swapped the condensed milk crepes for Nutella crepes. read more

Aromas - a plate of crepes with strawberries - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I used to always get a medium, triple, non fat white chocolate mocha until I started to put on a few pounds... hahaha. How's that for a freshman 15? Nowadays, I just get a triple espresso and put two splendas. It does the job without all the unnecessary calories. I love, love, LOVE their pastries! I LOVE the crumbly stuff on top of their banana nut muffins. The only thing that sucks is when the baristas take your order wrong... like this one time I told them to add an extra shot of espresso into my white chocolate mocha and then they only put one shot. It tasted like milk!!! And then get this... I almost dozed off in my next class. Now I keep it short and simple... a triple espresso. read more

I just found Aroma's tucked away on USD's campus and I am very impressed. I've been enrolled at multiple colleges in my life and never have I seen such a great campus coffee shop. I can only really speak to the ambience, size, and regular coffee...but here it is. I found it on Monday and have been back 4 times this week. The coffee is good and cheap - I think 1.65 for a ceramic mug (with free refills - can't beat that). Lots of tables to spread out and there are always people in here. If you want quiet, this isn't the place. Music plays in the background, and people are talking - but I love that. It looks like they have a lot of other options like pastries and specialty drinks, but I haven't tried it. It's overall a legit spot to meet for a coffee with a friend, a professor, or to chill when on USD's campus. I am falling more and more in like with this place.... read more

Their espresso drinks don't stand up to Starbucks, and definitely don't stand up to the local roasters' drinks we have available in San Diego; I would not drink one for fun---only for caffeine. Their baristas are friendly. read more

Aroma's is located on campus at the University of San Diego. It is a great little cafe with similar drinks to Starbuck's. However, Aroma's is definitely a better choice over Starbuck's since they also have unique specialty drinks, good food, and snacks. In addition, there are four computers available for use at Aroma's, couches, and outdoor seating. Give it a try if you are ever on USD's campus. read more

The guy who makes crepes is so awesome! I would recommend the banana Nutella one to anyone! Try to avoid ordering from the new baristas but the seasoned ones always make perfect drinks. I like the dirty chai tea latter for a little perk up! read more

Deffiantily a great place if your on usd campus. Overall would recommend. 100% a little pricy but they carter to usd so makes sense to upcharge. If you're gluten free however the toast will be small. I'm not my roommate is, just to clairify I think the toast is amazing. Would recommend avacoadovs and bacon or hummus veggies and bacon. BEWARE LINES TAKE FOREVER IF U GO IN THE MORNING ON THE HOUR!! read more

Good coffee, good times Tucked into the west side of Maher Hall on the ground floor, Aroma's is the centrally located coffee shop at the University of San Diego. This is a good place to stop by for a coffee, tea, juice, or bite to eat between classes. The small collection of chairs and tables outside the cafe is the best place to enjoy a drink and the perfect Southern California weather. Sofas, booths, and chairs with adjacent tables make the inside a comfortable place to study or meet friends for a break. The noise levels could certainly become too loud for my liking during the busy times, so I always enjoyed studying in the basement of the main library or first floor of the law library. read more
