Genuinely one of the worst matchas I've had and cannot wrap my head around why this was rated one of the top 3 matcha spots in Seattle on Beli (not sure how they accurately rank a cafe known for their coffee vs matcha). I hope this review deters many people away hoping to get a decent matcha here so I can save you the hassle of trying to find parking just to pay $9 for this sad excuse of a drink. We ordered their regular matcha latte and banana matcha latte both with oat milk. Right off the bat just looking at the top I knew it wasn't going to be good. Sometimes color can be deceiving so I still had some hope but the amount of foam that was sitting on the top wasn't helping its case. The matcha was powdery and tasted extremely presweetened, I would liken it to the old starbucks matcha before their recent upgrade. The banana matcha was not any better, it tasted super artificial and like a kid was bored and decided to mix a melted leftover matcha drink and banana milk. No, I did not just go on a bad day, I've been to enough shops to know the difference between purely bad technique and just straight up bad matcha. I heard the owners have changed recently so maybe that has something to do with it but the amount of cafes trying to hop on the matcha trend just to serve half attempted concoctions like this is really not it.
Love supporting Vietnamese-owned small businesses! Aroom (derived from the Vietnamese words to eat and drink) is solidifying itself in the Seattle Coffee scene. With gorgeous branding and beyond beautiful shop interiors, it's in everyone's bookmarked places to try! We got their Caphe Sua and Galaxy Drink. Their coffee is STRONG. The Caphe Sua featured condensed Milk and traditional phin brewed Vietnamese coffee. A Viet coffee done right, but beware if you're sensitive to caffeine. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Drink wasn't our favorite. It's made of butterfly pea and soda and looked like a sparkly magic potion, but tasted vaguely of pickle juice... Would go with something else next time!
Giving Aroom a second go in our 2 nights trip in Seattle would tell you how much we loved it. This time it's the Fremont one, which offered totally different ambience. More like quick coffee, grab and go spot, or simply chill over drinks; compared to the Waterfront that's more for work/study space. I opted from the traditional option this time, getting their Viet Latte or Bacsiu, while my husband still sticked to the signature fun drink getting their Sesame Latte. We still WERE SO IMPRESSED, and wished we could have them in LA! Also all baristas in all outlets have been so so friendly!
This was probably my favorite drink spot in Seattle. The space is beautiful, very large, and had plenty of seating. Everything on the menu looked delicious. The pandan matcha was very good and not overtly sweet. It was a perfectly balanced drink. We honestly drank it in record time. I would highly suggest this to anyone in the area!
Just might be the best coffee in Seattle! Was in town for the weekend and was in search of a caffeine pick me up when I stumbled across this gem. They specialize in Vietnamese style coffee and they do it perfectly. The hojicha and egg coffee were my favorites
My husband found this place on Yelp when I told him I wanted a coffee delivery after his Saturday morning workout, not knowing that this spot is apparently having a TikTok moment. If I'm being completely honest, I didn't have high expectations but I was pleasantly surprised that both our drinks were very delicious. He opted for the black sesame drink and an egg coffee for me. My brother in law had the banana one and he also thoroughly enjoyed his. Dare I say the egg coffee was comparable to some that I've tried during my visit to Vietnam. We're only visiting for the weekend, but now we know where to go the next time we visit Seattle.
The two seasonal drinks I had were great. I was really surprised on how fast these drinks came out, especially with how packed the place was. The drinks I had were the yogurt coffee and the coconut longan matcha. The coconut was great as you can definitely taste the ingredients. The yogurt coffee was surprisingly good.
Vibe: modern Service: standard Items ordered: - matcha latte: quality was not great; would taste great as a dessert matcha - stick to the rest of the menu
Aroom Coffee has a very cute, aesthetic vibe, and I can see why it blew up on TikTok and Instagram. That said, the social media buzz has definitely changed the experience. When we went, there was a line out the door, every seat was taken, and the whole place felt very crowded. It's the kind of coffee shop I probably would have enjoyed a lot more if I had randomly stumbled upon it before it became so popular. To be fair, I'm not a coffee connoisseur. I like my coffee on the sweeter side and I'm honestly happy with places like Mercurys or Starbucks, so I may not be the target audience here. The coffee tasted fine, but it wasn't something I'd personally crave or go out of my way for. Overall, I thought Aroom was cute but average, and a bit expensive for what it was.
After seeing the online hype, I was set on trying Aroom while in Seattle. The morning we departed we walked over, waited in line, and probably an additional 10 minutes for our two drinks to be made. Unfortunately I was given the wrong drink and it was too late to go back and exchange because we had the ferry to catch. I ordered the an iced pandan latte and believe I was given the egg. Coffee was sweet and strong, but not the drink I was looking for.
It was difficult to find street parking, we had to park a few blocks down in a nearby neighborhood. I got their pandan coffee and it was good but so strong!!! The pandan cream definitely helped sweeten the drink up though.
The Pandan Latte was 10/10. The barista was knowledgeable and helped me decide between it and the black sesame latter. The pandan only comes iced which is fine. The coconut base and pandan flavor really come through. The latte was strong and sweet. A decent place to bring your laptop to work if you can find a table. Most seats were occupied on a weekday morning.
This place is honestly such a treat. I got the salty coffee and it was delicious and I would consider it a better dessert than going to an actual dessert shop. I think the saltiness really brought out a lot of flavor and it was so incredibly creamy. But don't get me wrong, I definitely felt some of the caffeine as well! The place has nice ambiance and lighting as well. It makes it pretty easy to just sit down and catch up with friends. I would definitely recommend this place as a unique drink and dessert shop.
Stopped by during a day trip to settle after hiking in Olympic National park the past few days. Absolutely LOVED t everything about this place. - Service 10/10, staff was really friendly - Drinks 10/10, we got an Egg Coffee, the Logan Lotus, and a Matcha latte with oat mil. Coming from NY, my group had really high coffee standards and this knocked it out the park with all drink - Ambiance 10/10, so spacious and airy. Lots of natural light and light wooden finishes. read more

Another spot that I always go to when I'm in town - I always get their sesame drinks (both the coffee and matcha ones are so good). Quite pricey though! read more

A minimalist/industrial feel coffee shop with Starbucks vibe. I love coffee and always on a mission for good coffee especially Vietnamese coffee, where one can taste the bold and strong flavor, feels the rush of caffeine in your blood. The coffee got solid 4 stars. I especially favored the salted cream coffee, where your tongue can feel the bitter of strong coffee, sweetness of condensed milk, and the saltiness in the frothy cream. Perfect sip!! The egg coffee had similar flavor with the egg froth. It was not the best I have had so I will give it a 3.5 star. The most disappointment came the house cake despite all the raved reviews praising it. The cake had similar texture of the HK egg waffle, which is not bad. However, when pairing with pate and pork floss it just tasted weird to me. The pairing was not complementary and left a bad taste in the mouth. So I'll give it 1 star. I'll try different offered coffees next time I revisit. Ambiance: 4 Service: 4 Coffee quality: 4 Food quality: 1 read more
Yum! My partner had the sesame late and I had the gloomy matcha. I would have taken mine with a touch less sweetener, but the execution was incredible. Thoughtful interior, order ready buzzer was convenient, and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

It's basically a Vietnamese coffee shop selling overpriced coffee. My cup was only 50% coffee and then foam. Not okay in my opinion given how small the cup was and that I paid a few cents shy of $7. Would I come back? No, not unless someone else was offering it to me. You could make your own cold foam/sweet cream at home and buy a pack of Lee's Vietnamese coffee at Costco-- guaranteed to be a more enjoyable experience. Service was quick and the vibe was nice if you're just catching up with someone. Again, not somewhere I'd sit and work. read more
Love this new Vietnamese coffee place. Tried the Saigon brown Iced Latte and it was superb. Place is small and there isn't much place to work, less of tables. I went there to work and had a tough time waiting for my turn to get a table. Nice place to hangout with friends. read more
A very cute, modern, and minimalistic coffee shop in Fremont, among a lot of amazing restaurants nearby! We went here on Sunday right at opening to get some coffee and try their xoi man (sticky rice) as I have heard today is the last day they have it before they change up their food menu. I personally got the black sesame latte, which had a nice black sesame cream which did not overpower the Vietnamese coffee taste. It was a bit sweet but enjoyable. Even the small one helped fuel my day. The sticky rice was very good - I wish I tried it sooner, but better late than never! It has a bunch of fixings like the Chinese sausage, pork floss, cha lua, dried shrimp, fried egg, and quail egg. The sauce was very good - it had a little bit of fish sauce as well as some marinated pork bits. While there is a lot of sticky rice, portions are more of snack size than a meal. There is enough fixings to make the sticky rice flavorful throughout. Overall, the coffee and food are good, though a bit on the pricier side compared to other Vietnamese coffee shops around the greater Seattle area. A feedback I would like to give is that they should have communicated a bit better on when the sticky rice was available, since it was apparently only available after a certain time (9am, one hour after opening), whether it be through the website or Instagram, which is why I give this place 4 stars. I will be back as a lot of my friends love to get Vietnamese coffee. Hoping my next visit will be a 5 stars experience! read more

Aroom Coffee in Fremont, WA $6+ per drink Aroom is a cute Vietnamese coffeehouse with unique drinks and aesthetic decor. Some of their specialty drinks include their sesame latte, egg coffee and avocado coffee. On this trip, we got their gloomy matcha and their passion fruit green tea. Their gloomy matcha is a matcha latte with seasoned cream on top. The matcha was rich, creamy and had a strong matcha taste. The sesame top complemented well and had good flavor! The passion fruit GT wasn't too sweet and was very refreshing -- this is my favorite passion fruit tea i've had, even compared to boba shops around the area! I've also tried their sesame latte and egg coffee, which are also really good. I look forward to coming back to potentially study or just try other drinks on the menu! They also are very helpful if it's your first time. There is a menu posted outside of their top drinks, but they also answer any questions you have. If you're not satisfied with your drink, they will remake it for you. read more

love love love!! i come here atleast once a week hehe. amazing viet coffee + fun flavors. my favorite drinks - coconut coffee: my number 1! i always ask for slightly less sweet but such a perfect balance of sweet and creamy. most viet coffee places ive ordered this has it as a blended/icy drink so i love that arooms take isnt a super cold one - salted coffee: i love salty sweet combos, especially in coffee and this is one of the best u can get not overwhelming whatsoever - egg coffee: a little sweet for my taste but perfect egginess and very authentic (in comparison to the ones i get in garden grove/westminister) ive also tried their black sesame coffee (crowd favorite, super yummy), banana coffee (a little too sweet but still delicious), hazelnut toffee (yummy just not my favorite haha), longan tea (perfect light/refreshing drink), and last of all their pandan coffee (please please bring it back i miss it so much ) also had both of the house cakes, which are yummy light treats paired with the coffee. their sticky rice is super good too! i rly wanna try the banh mi hehe read more

Their aesthetic is GIVING - just walking in there puts me at peace. I love that the music wasn't too loud and the ambiance was calming, could definitely see myself coming in for any day when I might need to work. I went early on a Saturday morning when they had just opened and had the whole place to ourselves. Since they weren't serving food when I went (I think this was during their soft opening), I can only attest to the drinks. I got the 16 oz ice sesame latte and loved it. The sesame foam cream at the top was pretty thiccc, but tasty! It was the perfect amount of sweet. I would definitely come back again. read more

Super nice staff & the matcha is amazing! I tried a couple of the drinks, but always go back to the gloomy matcha. Taste combo is perfect, and also for a Seattle it's pretty accurate. The spot is good for light studying or doing some tasks on your laptop, but it can get a little busy sometimes. read more

Love the inside and the logo. It's an all rounder type of business and you can tell the owner cares about the quality of their products and the aesthetic. The drinks are amazing as it looks. If I live near here I would probably be a regular The refresher drinks are so good. read more

I love coffee! And I'm so glad there's been several of these specialty coffee shops popping up with super fun flavors lately. Most with Vietnamese flavors. This place is cute and fun, bright, simple but pretty. I didn't realize they closed at 5 pm. Got here around 4:45. Glad the barista/ (Min? )Came out to let me know their closing time. He was sweet enough to let me order too. Plus 1 star! The coffee itself has many choices. I went with Saigon brown: Vietnamese drip coffee with condensed milk, super strong coffee flavor that I love. Also tried their black sesame latte: 16 oz. It's like dessert in a cup! Pretty to look at too. They had a cake but they sold out. Weekend, they serve rice cakes with sausage and so on. The platter looks like a fun feast. Parking took me a little while but it's free/ street parking. Place is cute! And dog friendly. I'll be back!!!! read more
absolutely love this coffee shop in fremont!! i study here on the weekends, the interior is nice and minimalist vibe. if you're looking for a study spot go early because it can get pretty crowded. i recommended getting the gloomy matcha. read more
Aroom Coffee probably has the best aesthetics out of all the other Vietnamese coffee shops in the area, there are also actually room to sit. I've had it bookmarked for a while from seeing all the foodie friends post about it, but was dreading the drive to Fremont, turns out that if I wanted to pay for the toll from the east side, it wasn't that bad of a drive. Cute neighborhood too, I really don't get over to this side as much to see what I'm missing out on, at least not during the daytime. Lol. With my very demanding lifestyle with really no days off, I read an article by a life coach recommending to constantly have something simple ongoing to look forward to to quickly boost your happiness. For me, that's probably adding more cafes/restaurants to my list that never ends and coming home to attempt to write either descriptive or witty reviews as a creative outlet, an activity I don't have to depend on the presence of another human being, I just have to make sure I show up during open hours. I ordered the sesame latte because the black color looks cool, it has a unique taste that I dig. I'll probably never be able to make it to try their sticky rice that is only offer on weekends since I work every weekend, but I hear it's good. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

Minimal, chic, modern, Aroom Coffee brings an unique Asian twist on coffee. I've heard great things on their black sesame latte, and that's what I got. I asked if it could be made with dairy free milk, but the barista said the dairy alternative wouldn't taste the same. I figured my lactose-intolerant self could suck it up for the sake of good coffee and opted for the full dairy version. The coffee was good! Strong, sweet, nutty from the black sesame, it balanced well. I did think it was a bit sweet for my liking and will ask for half-sweet next time. I wished the black sesame flavor was stronger though. My friend got their gloomy matcha - black sesame and matcha latte and it was not as good as we were hoping. The black sesame and matcha were both underwhelming and tasted like milk. All the baristas were very friendly and the one who took my order even asked me if my drink was good and if I felt okay drinking it since it was full dairy. Hospitable and kind, Aroom Coffee is a great place for a chill work from home day or just come and enjoy the vibes! read more

FINALLY got around to trying this new coffee spot and I'm not even a coffee person ! The shop was a little confusing to find at first. I loved the gloomy matcha that I got. The black sesame topping was so flavorful and fluffy. It wasn't too sweet and I would totally get it again. But if you're not a fan of black sesame, the taste is pretty strong. The galaxy drink was like a sparkling lemonade that tastes like the 7up with lemon in China. I also tried the pancake with cream cheese and it wasn't great, too much cheese and it was a bit too dry for me. read more
My first time coming and it was PACKED, but I can see why. The combination of their different types of drinks is something I haven't seen at any other cafe in seattle. Sesame with matcha?? Avocado coffee? Egg coffee?? The list goes on. There was unfortunately limited seating when I went on a weekend mid day, but the cups are perfect to go. The staff were pleasant , and the atmosphere was bright. Highly recommend , I will be planning my next trip soon! read more

The Gloomy Matcha's a perfect drink, not too sweet, good matcha flavor, not powdery, and the black sesame cream on top adds a great consistency and savory aspect read more
had to stop by aroom and see what the hype was about! it's a very minimal and modern cafe in fremont--super cute decor. limited indoor seating (tables and booths) service was so kind and polite. the employee at the cashier really put in the effort to be friendly and ask about my day. drinks seem to be made with care and attention to detail. // black sesame latte (16oz) $7.44 // this was definitely a pricey latte, but it was a treat. black sesame is very thick and creamy on top, mix with coffee on the bottom. the main downside for me was that this drink was wayyyy too sweet for me. i usually get 50-30% sweet and boba places but presumed i wouldn't be able to adjust the sweetness here (maybe i should've asked). the drinks are also quite small for the price since there's a lot of ice too. super cute cafe to sit and catch up with friends -- a lot of people were taking pics too. definitely a great place if you like really sweet drinks or coffee, but otherwise take caution lol. read more
Aroom Coffee was one of my first stops during my short visit to Seattle and I'm so glad I made time to stop by this time around! I've heard a lot of hype around Aroom Coffee and their drinks totally live up to the hype :)!! I've tried a bunch of black sesame lattes and theirs by far had the best amount of black sesame flavor and it was not overly sweet. The ratio of black sesame topping to coffee was perfect!! They are not skimpy at all with the black sesame. It was a perfectly well balanced coffee. If you love black sesame, this is the drink to try!! The workers were so friendly as well and was able to walk my friend around the questions she had about their different drinks. Their workers were very knowledgeable about their drink offerings! The shop had tons of seating and the place was filled at around 9:30am! This is definitely the spot to sit and work and even catch up with your friends :) Aroom Coffee is definitely one of the places I'll be coming back to whenever I'm in Seattle! read more
Wanted to try the black sesame latte and was not disappointed. There was a good sesame flavor without being too overpowering. I thought the coffee would be a bit stronger but would come back to try the other drinks on the menu. The interior of the cafe is very open and aesthetically pleasing. Definitely a good place to get some work done if needed. Parking: There are 1 and 2 hour parking spots around the area. read more

Black sesame coffee was unique but so good! The black sesame cloud is thick though but very creamy and flavorful. The Vietnamese coffee was strong and delicious. The matcha was a bit watery for me in my opinion but my husband seemed to like it and I'd be willing to try it again. No parking lot so you'll need to find street parking. read more
This is my new favorite Viet coffee spot. I saw pics of this place and wanted to check it out bc of its cute interior but WOW I was blown away by how bomb their drinks are. We got the sesame latte and saigonese coconut coffee both were the perfect blend of sweet and aromatic coffee flavor. I really enjoyed my sesame latte....it had that wonderful cream top that I mixed into my drink. Amazing LOL The actual cafe is pretty small but there were a few tables for you to sit down and bc we visited on a busy Saturday afternoon there were people waiting outside with their buzzers. I have to say I have never seen such an aesthetic cafe before in the States....literally all the furniture and even the staff looked like they came right out of an interior design book! Definitely visit for the IG pics if you're into that, but overall a casual spot to enjoy your drink with friends. The worker who took our order was also very friendly and took the time to explain what the popular drinks were! It's a little pricey for a 12oz ($7) but that's pretty normal price for Seattle now -- my recommendation is to get the 16oz because 12 IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!! Debating if I should get another drink as I'm sipping my latte and writing this review...lol. I would give it a 6/5 if I could! Can't wait to visit again :) read more

Pleasantly surprised by the drinks. Got the Logan Lotus Tea half sweet and the Egg Coffee. The tea was very light and refreshing, didn't have that artificial syrup flavor. The tea flavor stood out with a subtle fruit flavor and wasn't too sweet. The coffee kind of tasted like tiramisu from the egg, a stronger coffee flavor. We got regular sweetness, it was a little sweet but not too sweet. The bitterness of the coffee helped balance it out. Interior is minimal and cute, employee was helpful as well. read more

I've been visiting and recommending this place to a lot of friends for quite a while. I've tried various drinks they offer, and my go to is always their Black Sesame latte. Over time, I noticed that they put less and less sesame cream on top of the drink, so I requested for an extra sesame cream on my visit yesterday. They charge an extra $1 for it, and my drink came out to be $8.54 after tax). It was on the expensive side to be charging a full dollar for an extra sesame cream, but I understand things cost higher these days. Now the peak of my disappointment: the drink came out with the same amount of sesame cream as usual!! They said that it was covered by the ice, that's why I can't see it. But even after I finished the drink, I still didn't feel like there was any extra cream added nor that it's worth the extra $1 charge... This experience honestly left a bad taste in my mouth. I would still visit here once in a while when I really crave the sesame latte, but probably not adding any extra anything. Advice to the team: if you're charging customers a full dollar for any extra anything, it should be made worth the charge. this is not just about the money, but the experience customers walking out with... read more
