This place is a little gem in clearlake. My friends were craving coffee so we stopped here. This…read moreplace has a drive through but also inside seating/ ordering. We chose to order/ sit inside. They have a few parking spaces available. The inside was super cute! A few different areas to sit, very comforting and relaxed vibe, with good tunes playing in the background. The service was excellent - kind and they brought out our drinks to us as well. We had such a good time here we came back the next day! They had some food options available but we only were in the mood for drinks at the time. I got a: Smoothie (mango + blueberry) with apple juice and yogurt, with whipped cream on top. The overwhelming flavor was the apple juice, but the smoothie was still refreshing and cheap. No complaints. This coffee shop also borders the lake so we sat for awhile inside, but then took our drinks out to overlook the water. It was so beautiful.

Five stars for the incredible staff! Don't worry, the coffee drinks we had were amazing as well…read more This little sit down and drive through place won me over when the barista offered me a multitude of options when they ran out of my first choice. Small but cozy and decorated with kitschy and cute decor, this coffee house/cafe offers coffee, tea, matcha, boba drinks, smoothies and fresh juices. They also have breakfast goodies and other items like muffins, burritos and frittatas. Everything is fresh and served quick. You can sit inside or there are also some outside benches overlooking the lake in the back. I was able to order a sugar-free blended mocha with sugar-free whipped cream. Ahem, REAL whipped cream. Yes it was fantastic and a great price as well. They have a huge variety of flavored syrups and options, protein bases and vegan milks and can create drinks on par with a certain windmill chain...ONLY better! Shoutout and thank you to the wonderful staff and especially to the sweetest barista ever, who helped me customize my drink to fit my dietary needs. It is a great place to stop either when in Clearlake or on your way to another adventure.

ZERO STARS!!!My first time visiting this coffee shop was 4 years ago. And it was great. We went…read moreback today and had our best friends with us, excited to show them a really neat and eclectic coffee shop. That is NOT what we found. When we walked up the once cute landscaping on their patio area was unkempt and cluttered with old motorcycle parts. Walking in I immediately noticed the lack of cleanliness. There is just clutter everywhere. And it was covered in dust and grime. There are three tables in the place. Two of which were being taken up by people that weren't actually eating or drinking anything. The other table had a dusty Christmas tree sitting on it with no space to be used as a dining table. One of the workers was I guess just kind of hanging out with those people and the other worker was standing at the register. What I'm getting at is, neither worker was actively making anything for anyone that was currently taking up dining space for actual patrons. The space was so cluttered with stuff you would have thought it might be someone's storage space instead of a restaurant. The whole atmosphere of the place was just gross. I needed to use the bathroom as we were on an 8 hour road trip home. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting. There was no soap in the bathroom and the sink and toilet looked like they had never been cleaned. I live by a rule I learned from watching Gordon Ramsey. If the bathroom of a dining establishment isn't kept clean the kitchen won't be either. This rule has served me pretty well I think. And this place was screaming food poisoning central. The two that worked there seemed nice enough but the pride they have for the place is completely absent. The menu they have in place looks good, but the cleanliness of the place completely ruined it for us. We decided not to eat. We still needed a stretch of the legs before getting back on the road so we were going to enjoy some fresh air outside on the patio. We couldn't even do that because it smelled like pee. And there was bird poop all over the tables. I really love to see quirky and eclectic places succeed, but this place has lost its pizzazz and needs to be closed down. How the health department hasn't done this yet is beyond me.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! I'm not a local but when I come to visit I always go out of my way to stop…read morehere before heading home! The owner is very kind and gives top tier customer service. The smoothies are made with real fruit they taste amazing! I also love the inside of the coffee shop it's unique and there's a lot to look at. Please check this place out you won't regret it!

Their menu varies, today was a buffet and I had almost everything. The sushi bowl was amazing! The ramen's broth was awesome and I am very picky when it comes to my broth. It's top 10!

Wow, I'm so happy to write the first review for this hidden gem in Lake County! Located on the Yuba…read moreCollege campus in Clearlake, California, this new, clean restaurant provides the culinary arts students an outlet to show off their creations. Today, Thursday noon, the specialty was prime rib, 8oz or 10oz with mashed potatoes and a corn/veggie mix. Superb. Cost for the 10oz... $10 flat. Any catch? NONE A bunch of friendly staff, wonderful food, and an unbelievable deal. Well worth the trip if you're in the area. The website address I added is the campus map, and the cafe is the first building (labeled #4) on the left as you drive in the main entrance. While the "take-out window" is open early (9am - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) for special coffee drinks, smoothies, and some pastries, the LUNCH DINING ROOM IS OPEN ONLY WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY - 11:30 TO 1pm. If you can make it to Aroma's one of these two days of the week you're in for a treat :) Feb 24, 2015 - Aromas Cafe is open again for the new 'semester' - really enjoyed the Soul Food Buffet last Thursday! I just posted the new menu - see it under pictures. See you there.

Had place bookmarked and would've loved to say it was amazing but it wasn't. Very small bakery with…read morea tiny show case that was nearly empty. They also have balsamic vinegar and olive oil's on display for sale. It was midday on a Thursday, arrived and 2 folks were waiting for what must've been a sandwich being made. Seemed like I waited a LONG time in the lobby, at least long enough to hear about one of the customers upcoming travels, budgeting, family, etc. etc. There was I person working and when she finally came out and saw me waiting she was very apologetic for the long wait and lack of items to choose from. I was hoping to try their croissant which is different than your normal croissant, but they didn't have any available. Learned the pastries and breads are made at their other location and brought in which makes sense because the place is just slightly bigger than a shoebox, Ended up with a couple of ciabatta loaves, pecan bar and a lemon bar. The bread was the best, the bars weren't anything to write home about. We're planning to go back out in a couple of months and will give them another try earlier in the day.

Loved the quaint lil bakery and cafe in a tiny and beautiful town :) lots of parking in the square…read moreand they have good outdoor seating that can be enjoyed when the sun is out and its not raining/ windy. The staff is friendly and its a very tiny space inside to order. Checkout the menu pics attached. The chocolate cream eclairs and chicken pesto panini were yummy!! In $24, we got: - 1 chicken red pesto panini - 5/5 - which was freshly grilled. They offer u 3 choices of cheese and i choose cheddar. The red pesto sauce was flavorful and chicken meat quality was top-notch! - 2 eclairs - 5/5 filled with chocolate cream. Unique and delish! - 2 vanilla eclairs - 4/5 usual but smaller in size compared to other stores so it was a fun size Would definitely recommend filling your belly here before you drive up to the gorgeous wineries for some wine tasting. #supportlocal
