Review Visit: April 10th, 2017…read more Aroma = Amora. Aroma backwards is Amora and Amora means 'love' in Spanish. I do love some good coffee, but do I love Aroma? Yes. Aroma was fantastic. When driving to it, it was a bit hard to find due to it being tucked in with a placed called The Green Thumbers, which is a pretty nifty gardening store in itself. So aside from being attached to a gardening store, it is a full-fledged cafe/coffeehouse on it's own. Upon entering, the staff was super nice and struck up a conversation and asked what I was doing today. Told them the boring part of my business reasons for being in the area, but also the fact that I like to try new coffee places while out and about. They offer a large variety of coffees, lattes, frappes, baked goods, sandwiches, salads and more. I ended up just getting a specialty drink called 'The Tuxedo', which was hot espresso and milk with white and dark Mocha added to it. It sounded pretty good and it did not disappoint at all. In their display of baked goods, they had a chocolate peanut butter cookie that was calling my name... or my sweet tooth was calling for it. Either way, I requested that along with my coffee. The barista even offered to warm it up. I tell you, this may be one of the best cookies I have ever had. I've had some of the best across Illinois, especially at Insomnia Cookies, and this place may rival them on the cookie level. The interior is very formal with out being too formal. It felt cozy but modern. Everything was gray/white/black with nice furniture and some wall decor. But the best part? The two stuffed bears in there. One was about 5 feet tall and there was a baby bear on the other side of the chair, holding a coffee cup. You can see them below. They aren't taxidermy bears mind you, but stuffed plush bears from the store it is attached to. This is the second coffeehouse I have been to with bears in it, the first being Thirty-Thirty Coffee Co. in Peoria, IL. Bears and Coffee go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly... maybe? No bear puns yet? That's un-bear-able! Overall, Aroma Coffee is Amora indeed! The coffee was great, the cookie was beyond amazing and getting your photo taken with the bear is an added bonus. Aside from it being a bit hidden so one could easily drive by, it is worth hunting for. The coffee/cookies that is. Not the adorable bears inside.

Would be a 5/5 star if they allowed service animals (it's illegal not to)…read more Though I didn't have a service animal I know many who rely on them so it's upsetting :( many restaurants allow working dogs and even just some dog friends but a cafe attached to a garden doesn't?

Who'd have thought! Inviting colorful patio seating gives it a good vibe. I recommend this coffee shop highly. I'll be stopping again when I go this way again. I suggest they should put up a sign by the freeway. That'll bring them a lot more customers. Good luck and hope you thrive! Keep up the standards. I'll update my review over time. Ciao!

It tasted like French toast cereal buttery with sugar on top of it. If I could compare a feeling I would say it tastes like pure joy. And the coffee was amazing like caramel latte vibes.

Holy smooth coffee Batman. I purchased a peanut butter cold brew with sugar free chocolate syrup…read more(Torani), half and half plus two splendas. It is pricey which is my only knock but everything else was on point. A younger African American lady and a younger Caucasian male were working the shop in the afternoon when I arrived. I can't say enough about the friendliness and care they put into explaining all the sugar free options. Speaking of which, they had four specific cold brew options that were all sugar free friendly. The shop isn't too far from downtown Davenport but also not too close either. This is arguably the best iced coffee I have ever had. This is a 4.9 out of five and if the price was lower, it would be perfect. $6.49 plus tip makes this the most expensive iced coffee I've ever purchased outside of an airport. It's hard to be mad when the quality is so high though.
