The establishment is clean and there's congestion to the decor, but I can't say it's classically "bohemian". Nonetheless, it's pleasant, comfortable, and welcoming.

Sweet Aromas, what happened?? My wife and I visited Sweet Aromas Friday morning (7-22-2011) to…read morerenew our love affair with their great food and staff after being estranged from West Jefferson for a little over three years. Our fond memories included getting a big hung from the owner when we would go in and she always stopped by our table to chat after we received our food. Things change I guess because I knew we were in trouble when we entered and as we approached the counter a 6 or 7 year old boy threw a paper airplane that hit me in the chest. We stood there for a while waiting to be seated all the while having to make small talk with the child. Getting seated took too long since there was only one other couple in the place at 10:00 in the morning. The kid rang the bell by the register and the lady that I remember from years ago being the owner's sister came up to seat us with a portable phone jammed in her ear. Things went downhill from that. I ordered the "Old Favorite" breakfast with coffee and home fries and my wife wanted the honey bun. The kid continued to bring toys up to our table and we nervously made small talk with him. Then as other people came in and sat he went to their tables and disturbed their train of thought as well. Don't get me wrong.....I have grandchildren his age that I adore but when I sit down to eat in a place where I pay for food it shouldn't be a facility that depends somewhat on the customers to entertain some employee's child. Secondly, my home fried potatoes were cold, and old. Horrible, didn't eat them. Still, the lady remained on the phone, never checked on us, and never brought my wife her bun. I sat and ate my food at my wife's insistence before the rest of it could get cold and she sat waiting, just waiting. The cook came out of the kitchen and I flagged him down and I asked him for my wife's order and he commented that "she" would bring it out while nodding towards the lady manager still yakking on the phone. It was clear that he never informed anyone that our order had not been filled. My wife asked to leave so we went up to pay and stood at the register for a while and no one came to help us. Finally I tapped the bell and "she" came out to check us out and then realized my wife had not gotten her honey bun. Her apology was that she had been tied up on the phone with her sister and her accountant. She did offer to bag the bun and send it with us at no charge. We declined. It is so sad that a memorable piece of the West Jefferson restaurant history has slipped so much into decline. What a warm, friendly, service oriented place Sweet Aromas used to be.....when we left the area three years ago Sweet Aromas was one of the establishments we hated most to leave. Now that we are back in the area, we won't be wasting time to go into a day care atmosphere restaurant that cannot complete a simple order. So sad.

I have mixed feelings about this place…read more We stumbled upon this place while walking down sides streets, after having a not so great breakfast elsewhere. It looked really cute and funky and I was looking to get a coffee to go. I noticed a small building that looked like a bakery and indeed had bakery goods and cupcakes inside. I went in, hoping to get a coffee and a cupcake. There was someone working behind the counter but she never looked up or said a thing to me. I thought maybe I shouldn't have been there, so I left. We went inside the building and finally someone asked if they could help us and they did go get me a coffee. We noticed there was a bar inside the larger building and my husband started chatting up the woman there (who I'm 99% sure was the owner) but she was super bitchy and not having any part of the conversation. That was enough for me (you don't me around? fine, I'll stay away) but for some reason my husband really found that bar charming and a few days later we went back. Luckily for us, Patrick was bartending that night! He was super friendly, and we spent the evening chatting with him. The drinks were good, and we did order dinner that we both enjoyed. He really made the night a fun one. If I was back in the area, we'd probably stop back in, and hope Patrick was working!

Like others have mentioned, the woman who answered was very rude and with an attitude. This was the conversation: "hi, is this the cupcrazed cafe in blowing rock?" "how can I help you" "what are your hours today?" "we're not open" "so are you guys permanently closed?" "We're not open" "okay, what time do you guys open?" "we're not open this weekend" "okay bye bye". For whatever reason, they don't want customers, and they don't want people to know when they're open. Wild if people think they can run a restaurant that way. You couldn't pay me to go there now
