The eggs are fluffy and I always ask for extra pesto on top as well. *chefs kiss* The ambience is very warm and welcoming every time i come in there are large groups sitting, talking, laughing and just enjoying being there. The latin latte is another favorite of mine if you want a good drink to sip on. If you wanted something tasty to go with your coffee, the blueberry muffins come from a local bakery and run out quick in the mornings for a reason! Go visit Aroma and enjoy the a-roma of this welcoming coffee shop.

I got the fit bagel: egg whites, avocado, tomato, black pepper, and added turkey. Just okay. Not the most flavorful. I get that I chose something lean/healthy but it was nothing to write home about. My sister got Uova Benedetto: poached egg, prosciutto, pesto, provolone on focaccia. Decent. Also nothing to write home about. The bagels themselves were just okay. It's hard to find good bagels on the west coast but Philz honestly tasted better. Service was okay. They're friendly if you're a regular and not so much if you aren't... It's a busy place though. Kinda cramped when they're busy. So we walked to get smoothies while waiting for our food. I'd come back to try their coffee or pizza since those items seemed more highly rated. But I'm not running to come back.

BETWEEN THE REVIEWS w/ Rodney S…read more Q) Where did you go today, Rodney? A) I decided to indulge in some silky smooth, delicious ice cream. Can't think of a better ice cream shop than Van Leeuwen Ice Cream. Q) What makes Van Leeuwen Ice Cream so special? A) Rodney, Van Leeuwen whips up French ice cream. Meaning, twice as many egg yolks as the standard ice cream. Besides the custard base, Van Leeuwen utilizes simple ingredients, including milk, cream, eggs and sugar (vegan ice cream has oats, cashews, and/or coconut). I tend to avoid "ice cream" which has a plethora of various fillers/stabilizers and what not. I prefer real ingredients. Q) Rodney, do you recommend Van Leeuwen Ice Cream? A) For sure, Rodney! And, for those unable to visit standalone locations, Van Leeuwen is available in grocery stores nationwide, such as Sprouts. With real, natural ingredients, and double the amount of egg yolks, Van Leeuwen's French ice cream is an indulgent treat that isn't composed of unwanted ingredients. Highly recommend!

Service - 5 stars. Sampling without judgement. Thanks!…read more Vibe - love supporting local creameries. They are the best and this one is no exception Flavors - I love the variety and nothing said "balsamic vinegar" or "spiced goat cheese." Don't get me wrong. LBC has very unique flavors. After 4 samples and fun conversation with the staff, I ultimately settled on a trio of: - Banana King Cone. It has soy, gluten, and nuts. But this might be the best banana ice cream I've had because it doesn't taste artificially banana-ey. Organic banana ice cream loaded with chocolate coated sugar cone pieces and roasted peanuts. - Biscuits and Jam. Stone fruit jam swirled into vanilla ice cream with toasted biscuit chunks. - Saltine Dream. Organic vanilla ice cream loaded with caramelized saltine crackers dipped in chocolate and a rich fudge swirl. The banana ice cream was the best I've had, but my favorite in the flavor trip was the saltine Dream. Excellent flavor with excellent texture. Winner of the night. Recommend this place! They have their own parking lot. Limited outside seating. Super friendly staff. So glad my flight was delayed so I could explore.

We both got one scoop each, and the portions were huge, one scoop was definitely enough for us! They also let you sample flavors, which is really helpful if you're having trouble deciding. Everyone was super kind, the scoops were generous, and the space itself was nice and spacious. There isn't really seating inside, but there are a couple of tables outside. As we were leaving, my boyfriend's sister accidentally dropped her cup, and they were so sweet about helping her get another scoop. We can't wait to come back! It's so close to us, and I can't believe it took us this long to finally try it.

Their ice cream is perfectly balanced, not too hard, not too soft, with rich homemade flavors. You can truly taste the love. There's something for everyone with gluten free, vegan, and milk free options available. My favorite flavor so far is Sea Salted Caramel. Staff are knowledge about their flavors. There is no seating available here but there are some benches outside. This shop is located in Old Town Seal Beach, just minutes away from the water. The surrounding area includes restaurants, clothing boutiques, souvenir shops, finance offices, bars, and more. It can be difficult to find parking here and there are time limits during certain periods.

Both were delicious but the banana sundae was definitely my fav. The banana flavor was super fresh and strong and I also loved the mix ins that were in it. I also got to try what my sister got, the dubai chocolate strawberries. Big full size cup of fresh strawberries, melted chocolate, pistachio sauce, and katafi. Super yummy as well, surprisingly not as sweet as I thought it would be. It is $15 though, so a bit pricy. Service here was great, they let you try as many flavors as you'd like. This spot also has rotating flavors so there's always something new.

Didn't get a chance to try it since our group of three was basically ignored for 10+ minutes while…read morethe lone employee intently helped the one customer in front of us (who was already being serviced when we walked in, ordering a complicated future catering order). In the beginning it was fine...they were first and the wait time gave us a chance to decide what to order. But a simple acknowledgement of our existence, and a promise to get to us as quickly as possible (while still maintaining great customer service for the current customer) would have greatly helped. The wait gave me a chance to take a bunch of pictures which I'm submitting. There are a lot of ice cream flavors, with certain ones almost empty, while others not even touched (so was curious how long ice cream is held before a new batch is made). There isn't much signage around either, so difficult to know what the prices are, and know all the flavors available. So many questions at the time...not so much now...plenty of other Michoacana's in my area.
