Cafe Aroma - Half a bacon, egg breakfast sandwich and an iced Vietnamese coffee. Yum. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manteca, California

Imagine my SHOCK when we found this spot when we were on our way back home from Oregon. From the outside, it doesn't look like much. Just a normal, family run cafe with cozy vibes. BUT you walk in and they have the most extensive menu you've ever seen! We came in looking for breakfast, thinking we'd be settling for some breakfast sandwich or burrito but they had Vietnamese food! Available at breakfast time! While I love a good eggs Benedict, nothing beats Asian comfort food for me. Service is super friendly and they were very patient as we kept changing our minds as we were conflicted on what we could eat during our limited time here. The spicy shrimp was soooo tasty. I do wish that the eggs were runny or something but that's in a perfect world. The vermicelli bowl was always very tasty and refreshing. Will be back if I'm ever passing through again! read more

They have other items on their menu other than banh mi, such as sandwiches, paninis, rice bowls, drinks, and smoothies. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well. Yall slide thru over here don't be missing out!! read more

Cafe Aroma - Chinese BBQ Pork Banh Mi - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manteca, California

Friendly Cambodian family run business. Small cafe with In door / outdoor seating option . No waitstaff, order food at the counter . Definitely a great place for breakfast, brunch and lunch . Serves American style sandwiches, salads , bagels , mixed tea & fruit beverages . Variety of Cambodian Nom Pang / Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches. nostalgia moments bring me back to my childhood , their Khmer rice plate with eggs, Chinese sausage and spam. many Asian kids after school snacks . My two youngest mentioned the Chinese sausage were hard, it was a challenge to penetrate with their plastic fork . Cambodian Nom Pang / Vietnamese Bahn mi ( sandwiches) with sour pickled daikon/ carrots , love it add so much flavor when combined with the fried eggs and American style sausage patties and the toasted crunchy bread. My vermicelli chicken bowl needs improvement , the noodles were a tad too al dente not as soft , the chicken were more bland in taste . I appreciate the the abundance of vegetables, the sweet / sour fish sauce dip really compliments the flavor My two eldest were impressed with their hot toasted sandwiches . They mentioned "this is really good ". Needless to say the next day , they asked to stop by again before our drive back home . Sadly the business is closed on Sunday. read more

Cafe Aroma - Bacon Breakfast Sandwich and a Thai Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manteca, California

This is a small joint in Manteca...but small means nothing! My work crew and I have ordered many times from Cafe Aroma...I've always did the ordering and sent the staff for pick up we usually order about 15-20 items not including drinks. This last time I went to do the pick up and I was so surprised how small the restaurant was..with only a few workers! Dang..the service everytime I call is mint! They will label everybody's order for me and get it right each time! The sandwiches salads and drinks are always fresh and never stale from sitting or even skimped on with the fixings..this place never disappoints! Order from here but give them time if you got a big house order they are small and handling business! Thank you again Cafe Aroma for making our order 100% correct! read more

My family and I bought Banh Mi and a few items To-Go. It was out first time visiting and they are surprisingly great! Food tastes fresh. The Banh Mi was exceptional. Price wise it was not expensive. The owners was provided excellent service! The ambience was warm and homey feel. Definitely recommend this place if you are in the Manteca area. read more

We love this place. It's one of those we don't think of often, but if we're on that side of town and decide to eat out it's on our radar. It's a pretty small place and there's not a ton of seating, but the food is worth it. You order up at the counter and service is very friendly. We usually order bahn mi and get chicken teriyaki for our 5 year old. It ends up being plenty of food! read more

Bomb ass vietnamese sandwich. One of my go-to in the valley. Combo and grilled pork is the best. Good size, decent amount of meat, fresh bread. Definitely coming back read more

Just tried Café Aroma and it did not disappoint! I got the BBQ chicken banh mi -- the chicken was perfectly moist, packed with fresh ingredients, and the bread was soooo soft (exactly how a banh mi should be ). I also grabbed a milk tea, and my daughter tried the taro with boba -- both were delicious and hit the spot. Service was friendly and quick, and the whole experience felt easy and welcoming. All around great food and vibes. We'll definitely be back! read more

This place should be packed everyday , it's a small family run business with small dining area , decorated cute with a great menu on the wall to see before you order.

Does Cafe Aroma have the best Banh Mi in Manteca? I would have to say yes. This small family business serves some of the best sandwiches in the area. The service here is also so friendly and welcoming. I can see why this spot is so popular. It gives a cozy and homey feel. They also hang their kid's drawings on the wall which is really adorable also. When it comes to the food, it comes out quick and the quality as well as the quantity is top tier. I ordered the House Combo Banh Mi ($8) and Medium Iced Chai Tea Latte ($4.50). For the Banh Mi, they use really good bread and is crispy on the outside with each bite while being soft and fluffy inside. I loved it and they were super generous with the filling especially the veggies. There was plenty of pickled carrots and radish with cilantro and Jalapeños. The Chai Tea Latte being called Chai tea is funny because it reminds me of Pavitr Prabhakar from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse being triggered because it's like saying tea tea! Anyways, this was a solid chai latte. It was a little too sweet for my liking, but the staff is friendly and offers to make any adjustments if needed. You mainly come here for the sandwiches which is their specialty and I have to try more of their options especially the breakfast sandwiches which I hear good things about. This will definitely continue to be one of my go-to cafes in the Central Valley. read more

This is as very small coffee shop. They serve sandwiches and bagels too! I ordered a black coffee and it was very strong and delicious, and I was surprised and delighted by the smoothness of the flavor. Although the gentleman who served us was very flat and seemingly uninterested in his role at the coffee shop, the other CUSTOMERS were very, very friendly, which I was pleasantly taken aback by. They greeted us with hello's when we walked up to the door (they were all seated outside) and then they said goodbye when we left. They were a small diverse group who may have all known each other, but either way, the exchange was warm and friendly. They have some art on the walls, which is kinda cool to see...that they support local artists. read more

They're really nice when you walk in and greet you kindly. We had the bbq pork and bbq chicken bahn mi. They're quite bigger than other places.

We got the three tomato and avocado bagels and one pork belly and kimchi banh mi! Service was great, very friendly staff. The food was also good! My dad wished his banh mi had a bit more meat but I thought it had a good ratio. The green thai tasted strong and had the perfect ratio of sweetness. Would definitely come back! read more

A home grown cute little place that makes their food and drinks fresh and ready What really got me is the kindess, you can tell the owner and his family really care about their customers and the food they make. Most places now it almost feels like you are burdening the worker by buying their food. I was greeted when i came in, thanked for being a patron, and made sure to be greeted as I got my food and left. The sandwich was good especially if you like your bread a little softer as my husband does. I did not get to try their drinks but I will be back! read more

First of all, they were super friendly. They loved and doted on my 8 month old son. There were three people working - I think a family. The girl who took my order was super nice and answered questions I had about the menu. The guy who made my sandwiches offered me a bag specifically with handles because he saw my hands were full with my baby and other mom stuff. There was another lady who couldn't get enough of my kid. She was so genuinely sweet and asked us to come back. The breakfast sandwiches were also delicious! I got a bacon egg and cheese and then a bagel with cream cheese, avocado, tomato, and bacon. Super fresh and super good. They also have a bunch of coffee drinks to choose from. I chose a Vietnamese iced coffee and it was good! The ambiance is super cute with lots of little trinkets and fun decorations. Definitely will be going back. read more

Cafe Aroma - Pistachio latte. So goooddd! Add a shot of espresso! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manteca, California

I'm addicted to the Jazzy sandwich. The best veggie sandwich ever. The owners are lovely family who provide great service and even better suggestions. I've been coming here for years and if I want a pick me up or don't have an appetite- I know I can rely on a yummy sandwich or milk tea to satisfy my mood. It can get crowded during lunch hours and have a long line but it is worth the wait and the owners will always communicate if it will run long or if they are out of ingredients and whether it can be subbed or if a different sandwich is recommended. It's a cozy spot to dine in or if you want it to go- my meal has always traveled well. Sometimes I save half for leftovers the next day and I am just as satisfied. read more

My wife and I visited Cafe Aroma in July 2024. She had never been before, and I had visited 3-4 times prior to this experience. I understand they are now under new ownership. It's a quaint little place that a little difficult to find if you don't already know where it is. That being said, it's decorated with some art and very cute inside. It was a very hot day and it was noticeably a bit hot inside. Air conditioning would have been nice, but they did have fans on at least. Now on to the food. I ordered Pete's Panini. It comes with Ham, Pete's sauce, jalapeño, onion, bacon, and pepper jack cheese. It was very good and filling. Also came with a choice of side between mac salad, potato salad and a couple others. I let my wife choose and she chose the potato salad. She mentioned it was really good. For her meal, she ordered the tuna salad sandwich. It had fresh tomato slices, lettuce, and dill in the tuna and she mentioned it was very good! All in all, it was a wonderful experience. Cafe Aroma is a wonderful spot in Manteca and you should try it soon. Also, they have some of the best Bahn Mi sandwiches in town! read more

Cafe Aroma - Breakfast sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manteca, California

Service was good , cashier was welcoming and so was an older man that welcomed me in almost immediately. The location is small and there are a few tables outside but it's a nice little spot to relax . I ordered the breakfast burrito... now it was my first time . I had no idea what to order. Everything on the Yelp pictures looks good to me . But it was super early and the one item I didn't see pictured was the burrito . I had the breakfast burrito with sausage . At most it's 3 stars out of 5. Not great, not bad .... Just very bland . The cheese in it tastes like it didn't belong. The eggs /veggies not seasoned. The sausage did its job and gave it flavor . I also received some salsa ( not spicy at all!!) and a little side of mixed fruit . Will I go back for a sandwich yes ! For the burrito ... nope . read more

What a great spot! I'm always looking for a good sandwich spot and seems I've found it! They have so many great choices of different types of sandwiches (including banh mi) as well as a great drink menu! I stopped by for lunch and while the place was busy, I was able to walk right up and order without a line. They were very courteous and welcoming. I placed my order and it was delivered to my table within 5 minutes. Here's what I tried this time: Chinese BBQ pork Banh Mi Iced Matcha Latte The bread was perfectly toasted, crispy and soft at the same time. The sandwich had the perfect amount of goodies inside and the flavors were delish! They have seating both indoor and outdoor however many tables were only for 2 people with a few that have 3-4 possible. Parking was easy as they are in a shopping center. This was a great family owned spot that I'll definitely be stopping back by to try more of their specialties! read more
