Their coffee was delicious by the way and worth the walk! This is definitely a cool place to spend some time and enjoy a good cup of coffee. I could see myself being a regular if I lived in town.

Quick story: There I was, enjoying an expertly dark roasted cup of hot Sumatra on the obnoxiously…read moreclean brick patio at Aroma's. With closed eyes, I basked in every warm note of my extremely fairly priced coffee as it hit my with the force of a boxing hamster. The voluptuous exhale reminded me why coffee is my lady and no human woman can ever warm my frozen heart as effectively as a fresh cup of Joe. As I raised the cup to take another hit, a stupid sparrow hollered what I'm sure was an obscenity from the branch of dogwood bush. The little instigator laughed loudly with his friends at my hairstyle and fashion. It wasn't long before a prissy bluebird and a rabbit emerged from the annoyingly bright colored flower garden to heckle and point at me. "You're a stupid, ugly loser and your mom doesn't love you!" Is what I know they were saying. I sprang from the park bench like Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat and ran at the sparrow with designs on spilling his blood. Instead, I fell flat and spilled the best black coffee I've ever tasted for a crafty squirrel tied my shoelaces to the bench. The master roaster, Brian, gives attention to the nuances of every bean. The single origin Sumatra and Ethiopian roasts are miles better than any other roaster. Smokey Joe is my favorite blend here. Nice prices and a great product join forces to make Aroma's the Optimus Prime of coffee houses. The only complaint I have is that the sparrows, bluebirds, hummers, and cute flowers on the violently quaint patio detract from the coffee. Also my lip is bleeding. I'm going to quit Yelping about it and grab a napkin... also a refill.

I really like is a coffee shop with a cool, informal vibe that opens early. Throw in a nice window and some big ass plants and I am in! Filled with plenty of seating, a couple of outdoor tables for the nice days and some larger tables for those with actual work to do, it's easy to spend a chunk of time here. I am sure if I lived nearby, I'd be here all the time. In fact, if I was looking for a home in Ames, I'd probably just draw a circle within walking distance and start my search there.
