Killer coffee. Friendly staff and quick service. Nice cute interior Good experience overall

Good coffee always made right and fresh very friendly and respectful stuff service it's pretty fast.

A very nice place to have a cappuccino and a dessert. The cafe is located on a busier street with meter parking. The store feels very cozy and extremely clean. Another patron accidentally spilled a bit of his order; the barista, assured him it was no problem and proceeded to clean it immediately. We ordered a cappuccino and a caramel macchiato and a slice of tiramisu. We enjoyed all of it. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to after my recent visit. The coffee was mediocre at best--not nearly worth the uncomfortable experience. While there, I saw a Black woman take a seat while waiting in the long line. Moments later, the owner approached and aggressively told her to get up, saying it was "his seat" and that she couldn't be there if she weren't ordering. The way he spoke to her was unnecessarily loud and confrontational, especially in a public space. It felt demeaning and entirely out of line. I later looked through reviews and saw that similar incidents have been mentioned before, which makes me even more uneasy. I can't say for sure if it was racially motivated, but it was unsettling to witness. Unfortunately, the coffee didn't make up for the discomfort. I won't be back--and I wouldn't recommend supporting a business where this behavior seems to be a pattern. read more

A perfect local coffee shop with reasonable prices and good ambience. It's a small coffee shop with a variety of dessert options. It's a beautiful spot to catch up for a sip. This will be my go to spot for a quick coffee or desert from now on in the area read more

Amazing coffee! Made it to perfection! Very nice staff! Super friendly! Highly recommend! Probaly one of the tastiest coffees I've ever had

I actually loved this place. The owner served us at the counter and was super sweet and funny. He offered us all the options of pastries that he had and told us about the ones we hadn't heard of before. Such a cute little place, definitely recommend. read more

Reporting a verbal harassment for disability that just happened at a business in CT around 12 noon. Done by the man behind the counter, most likely the owner. The business is called Cafe Aroma 55 Wall Street, Norwalk, CT 06851 He yelled at us for having a small dog. I informed him, the service animal is needed for a certified medical alert, that my partner is disabled and needs her. He said okay well the dog can stay and you can go, he looked at my disabled partner and said "you're fine". I tried informing him of the laws and he stared yelling at us, to get out and refused to serve us. He would not stop yelling. This is not okay and discrimination. We are also a queer couple and it may be some hate crime as well. read more

I am not from Norwalk; but here visiting family. The food is standard cafe goods and the coffee is Lavazza. Customer service is a mixed bag. I've had alright experiences in the past, but the most recent trip was enough that I won't come back. Our family situation is complex, and what looks like a "typical child tantrum" is a little more nuanced/complicated. There are more professional and empathic ways to check in with a family of small kids then saying, "I am sorry I know he is a baby, but this is a business and there are other customers". I personally would've preferred a, "hi, I noticed the child is really upset. Is everything ok?". A little bit of understanding and courtesy goes a long way. Trust me, when he approached, we were already assessing whether or not this was a sensory meltdown we could manage. Which, we had sorted out within five minutes of sitting him down. And yes, to be fair, this is his business. But on a flipside, I am a paying customer and will take my business elsewhere and stick to places that can accommodate a wider community (that includes disabilities/disabled children). read more

I came to this coffee shop based on Yelp review, in the weekday afternoon. The coffee shop has some seats very relaxing comfortable environment. You can get coffee & sweet treats for those got sweet like me. We ordered tiramisu which taste good, it's not as sweet (i cant taste any rum tho) Cafe Mocha is highly recommend, it's not loaded with corn syrup like Starbucks. Less than $4 Cafe latte is alright (similar to the coffee i make at home with Nespresso), but less than $4. Oh it doesn't not taste bitter like Starbucks. Just using Starbucks for comparison here. Owner is super funny and friendly from greek, he said he makes his coffee with love, therefore gave me the love (drew a heart) for my cup of mocha art . definitely a go-to coffee spot if you come to Norwalk CT. read more

Can I tell you, this place served me the best hot chocolate I've ever had in a coffee shop. I was so cold and didn't want a coffee. I just had to come here and comment since it was so good. If you are in the area def recommend read more

Wow, a great little surprise! We had iced latte and an iced caramel macchiato (hand mixed) and a piece of ekmek that I could not stop eating to take a picture. Really delicious and not too sweet. Nice find. read more

Best coffee in Norwalk with great service! Croissants were fresh and bagel was delicious!

How can you not love this place. The coffee is amazing, the place is cozy and the owner is beyond welcoming. Coffee is out of this world.

I was visiting Norwalk over the weekend for a concert and I stumbled upon this adorable cafe. I wish I got the owner's name as I had great conversation with him. He was very welcoming and friendly and took time to tell me about Norwalk. I ordered an iced caramel macchiato and it was absolutely the best I've ever had. I ordered a Hibiscus iced tea for my friend and that was so delicious and refreshing as well. I would love to go back when I have time and order some of the pastries and spinach/feta pies as everything sounded and looked amazing. I couldn't recommend this place more. read more

Was here a month ago. I had a wonderful carrot cake and cappuccino. The carrot cake was a big slice with moist cake and a great cream cheese frosting. The cappuccino was very good, not too strong. My husband had the chocolate layer cake which he enjoyed. The woman there whom I assumed was the owner was warm and friendly. We wound up getting into a pizza discussion about the best in the area. read more

First time going to this place and what a great experience. Coffee was amazing & the owner was so sweet & recommended the fredo cappuccino which is the perfect sweet coffee combo. The coffee shop itself is cute and definitely a local favorite read more

I was visiting a friend and read all the great reviews so I decided to check it out. There were many selections for coffee and cream/ milk alternatives. Not only was his technique unique, but the visual as you see in the picture is super appealing. Taste- the moment I took a sip, it instantly reminded me of the coffee I had in Europe and was in shock. I haven't found a single place here that replicates that quality of coffee except now. It really was well crafted. Atmosphere- very calm and relaxed, def a spot you can do work in as there's seating and WiFi available. On top of that the host there was very personable and kind. Aka the reviews are true and worth the hype hah read more

Woke up this morning and looked up coffee near me. Ended up at Coffee Aroma and so delighted. Iced caramel macchiato and almond croissant are so delicious. The manager was very kind and friendly:) Black and white film playing in the background with leather seats to relax now. Available charging station even. Great vibes all around. Would definitely come again:) read more

"The No Covid" Cafe Aroma would be a more appropriate name for this coffee shop. It would save would be customers from entering a joint in which the people behind the counter thought less of their health and wellness. This morning, my partner and I walked in precisely at 8am. Neither the lady nor man were wearing masks but we assumed they weren't prepared for customers. While scanning the menu above, the gentleman behind the counter made no attempt to cover his face as he gazed at the two masked patrons before him. He continued sipping coffee and then insisted we move closer to him. At this point, my girlfriend exuded noticeable discomfort, politely declined to order anything. I took my cue and unabashedly "thanks, but no thanks" and off we went into the breezy autumn air. read more

Café Aroma is a cozy and quaint coffee shop in the Wall Street area of SoNo. I would definitely call it a hidden gem, as it doesn't really have a huge following or a big sign at the front door and is located in a really discreet location. The service is excellent, the WiFi is strong, seating is just right and the coffee is DELICIOUS. Oh, and it's so affordable. So affordable that this will definitely become a new regular spot for me! Definitely check this place out. read more

Cafe Aroma - Even a frappe with almond milk is only $3.50 here. Reasonable prices and AMAZING service - Desserts Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Coffee is good but costumer service is the worst , the person behind the counter was extremely rude and i definitely won't come back

Yeah I'm gonna give it 5 stars. Why? The vibe and ambience. How wonderful it was to walk in for a soy latte mid day and have the place be vibrant and alive and buzzing with activity - not to mention yummy men too. But, I digress. It's in the Wall Street area, which I've always thought could be so much more and I do hope it morphs into how I envision it. The Greek owner is so warm and kind and told me soy wasn't good for me and gave me almond milk instead for my iced latte. I couldn't help but order a pastry as you could tell they were made with love and care. He shared how his wife bakes them. As for the yummy men, I'd be there every day if I were closer. It's got a great and friendly community feel with everyone laughing and talking together. Two blonde girls added to the excitement. Loved, loved, loved our experience there. read more

Coffey was bomb. Reasonable price, 10/10 flavor, and not too hot. Brownies were pretty good as well.

Yum Found this little gem when looking for a sweet treat when office relocated to the area. It is in up and coming area so not an area I suspect folks will fin themselves unintentionally. Narrow European coffee house vibe with the overly used kichy signs. Had the tiramisu and muffins both moist, fresh, and flavorful. Cappuccino wasn't bitter, clearly the sweet gentleman had been at this for sometime. The older gentleman was funny and chatty. If you are craving a sweet treat or some caffeine, stop by! read more

Best coffee, service impeccable. Clean with a simple ambiance. Everything prepared to order with care. A must stop in the area.

"Everyone has beans and milk but if you don't add love it won't taste good" - owner. Such a cute place! Great coffee and treats. Tiramisu wasn't fresh so the owner suggested we try Ekmek, which was new to us, but so delicious! read more

Cafe Aroma - Cafe Mocha - Desserts Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

An absolute gem in Norwalk. Might I say the best cup of coffee in the city. Located in a historic section of Norwalk Cafe Aroma has comfortable outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating. Don't think this is just your average coffee shop though. It's a business where the owner not only cares about the product but customer service and the experience. The coffee is served with a soft Amaretti cookie. Every drink I've had here from the latte, to a double espresso to a cafe mocha has been amazing. The menu doesn't just stop at coffee however there's handmade gelatto, fresh baked goods and numerous other delights. This coffee shop is well worth the drive from Fairfield county and beyond and if the street parking is limited there's a garage on River St. read more

The decor is completely devoid of charm. The coffee lacks flavor. The barista sat at a table behind me after I ordered and turned up a rerun of MASH really loud. I won't be back. read more

Taking a ride to Norwalk and came across this cute little place in the original part (heart) of Norwalk. Coffee and dessert. I loved the coffee and my husband loves the desserts. So good. Highly recommended! And the owner was very nice! read more

The coffee tasted burnt. The price is also super expensive, they think they can have Starbucks pricing. The wait was long, the barista wasn't that personable. The inside is poorly decorated, pretty old school and bland. read more

Great coffee spot, a hole-in-the-wall place but the owner makes you feel at home with howe kind he is. Also great pricing for the thing ordered read more

Coffee is good. I got the Fredo and my brother got the mocha. Prices were fair and parking was easy. I didn't like that when a customer on the outside patio decided to have a cigarette that the smoke blew into the cafe. I didn't stick around. I probably won't be back, there was nothing special about the drinks. I would recommend the place if you are in the area. read more

The best coffee in CT by far. What makes it even better is the family who serves the coffee. Apollonio and his son Giorgo always put a smile on your face and make you feel like you are family. They always use the highest quality ingredients and put care into each coffee and pastry they serve to their customers. I live in Milford now but when I was in Norwalk I would be at Cafe Aroma almost daily. I would recommend trying the Freddo Espresso or Freddo Cappuccino when you visit. Bring your laptop too and work from there. The wifi is great. read more

Stopped in here late on a Saturday to get dessert. After looking at the extensive dessert cooler so many choices, we were drawn to the gelato. I got the Fig one which was delicious and the smallest size was more than enough for me. At $2, you really can't beat that. Definitely want to come back to try the other desserts one day, they all looked great! read more

Best coffee around! I got an iced coffee with almond milk and it was delicious. Family owned and has such a welcoming community vibe, kinda like CHEERS, a place where you just want to chill all day with friends. Also, the Greek desserts are yummy - I bought a sampling and didn't make a note of what I was eating, haha! Also, they have casual, outdoor seating. read more
