Another cafe not pouring drinks all the way to the top & serving lukewarm coffee/lattes, what's up with that? Decently priced drinks and different assorted baked goods. Asked for a pump of caramel syrup in my latte but didn't get any. Bummer. This place has good lighting though. Good for taking crisp dessert pics. The chocolate chip cookie is huge but too soft imo, I prefer the crunchy ones better. They accept both cash and card. Lots of seats in the cafe with more seating downstairs too. Music doesn't play too loud in the background. A good spot for quick bites like hot soup and sandwiches. Staff is okayish polite. Not too far away from the N/Q/R/W trains. This place is a hit or miss, and there're several locations all over the city. If you happen to stroll by this bakery/cafe, you can keep walking as this is not a necessary stop. The worst thing that I dislike about a drink besides the taste is definitely it not being hot. Something so simple that I think it's pretty much self-explanatory on its own. Why are you even serving lukewarm temperature drinks in the first place?

Café Aroma is one of those rare spots that manages to be both quick and actually good for you. The acai bowl was fresh, generous with toppings, and tasted like summer in a cup. The strawberries were bright, the banana perfectly ripe, and the granola added just the right crunch. You can tell they use quality ingredients; nothing feels processed or lazy. The display case is dangerous in the best way: everything looks like it was made that morning, from sandwiches stacked with color to desserts that could pass for art. Clean space, friendly service, and plenty of healthy options that don't make you feel like you're being punished for eating healthy. Definitely the kind of place you come back to after saying, "I'll just grab something light."

The bagel sandwich was amazing! Definitely need to share it with someone. Would have been 5 stars but the cashiers seemed genuinely annoyed to wait on us.

Visited this cafe for light breakfast. Considering the location they have plenty seating. Service was good too. Pistachio croissant: A must try. Loved the combination of croissant and pistachio cream. French Toast with eggs: This simple home style, nothing fancy. If you are craving for something simple this is good choice. Coffee: Very mild. If you're from West coast, you need stronger coffee! Overall seems like their pastries are good.

Ordinary tasting Cafe Cappuccino. Cafe Aroma has a multitude of food offerings from breakfast (think waffles, Danishes, pancakes with the works, bagels) to lunch (sandwiches & burgers). A variety of coffee drinks, both hot and cold are also here. Not to forget the viral matcha! This is here too in flavors. Plenty of seating available. Location is ideal for tourists as this is in the Theater District.

The last time that I had pastries from cafe aroma, they put them directly into a bag with no cover or protection. The pastries are good, they just need to be more mindful about health practices as these grocery bags are not food safe.

Always good coffee here. Pastries, some sandwiches, teas, chips. Nice place to sit. Different from Starbucks for sure.

Biscoff Crossiant and 8. Ice Tiramisu

Cafe Aroma definitely had a aroma, and a good one at that! You can smell the amazing pastries and coffee from outside the building. The pastries are delicious and and my mom got a coffee, and it is simply the best coffee we've had in New York City. The baristas were so kind and patient!! I would totally recommend this place to anyone!

I feel like I bought a truly ridiculous amount of petit gateaus here to try out and share with…read morefriends and we wound up enjoying most of them, some enough to buy twice. Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

Bread treats were decent not too different from other bakeries. The fruit and mushroom cakes were…read moredelicious, I enjoyed a lot more than I expected. Not too sweet and a good balance. Not too sure if I would say it's a must stop at but it's a great choice if you've never had these type of desserts before. The inside doesn't have many tables and it was pretty busy when I went, so I wouldn't expect to get a seat every time you come here.

Something with eggs, and meat, and a hot beverage as winter is fast approaching. Anything else would do fine, but the first two were an absolute must. Daily Provisions fulfilled those obligations. Though pricey, and probably why I will not return, they make one tasty breakfast sandwich. It might even outdo Panera! If only I could see how it is made rather than just wrapped and packaged for me, with me assuming they just took a pre-packaged sandwich and heated it up. I really hope they do not do that. The taste of it tells me they do not, but I have to surmise. I also got a hot chocolate, which is super rich. It is not super hot, but if you are not careful you could have an accident on the sidewalk because of the milk they use. Drink it slow and steady. Or pace yourself between sips. Do not let the body recognize this is full of the things that make bowel movements happen. Thankfully, I held my ground. They also sell crullers. I love a good cruller. Choux pastry donuts full of rich flavor, without all the density of an actual donut. This one may be too rich. It is also quite expensive. Nearby Donut Pub does a better job with them. I had to be careful eating this. Being careful and knowing how much it cost to get a breakfast here are what keep it a three star review. However, their offerings will keep you out of the cold and give you strengths on days you need to be picked up.

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!! I was blown away by the crispy edges and the interior wasn't too soft gooey either. The chocolate and walnuts added to the cookie enhanced the flavor even more! For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!

They are on the thicker side yet so incredibly soft on the inside and have a perfect crisp on the outer edges, top, and bottom!! Demitri was so kind and accommodated for my complicated and long order! I definitely recommend the Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie, it was so rich in flavor! The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie was not too sweet as the walnuts were the perfect balance! I think this is for people who are not too big on chocolate chips in their cookie. The Coconut Caramel cookie reminded me of a Samoa! You can taste all the coconut in the cookie and it was delicious! The Sticky Bun was so soft as well! 10/10!
