Holy cow, what a great breakfast we had at Sweet Aroma Cafe! An easy stop off I-81, we'll never have to settle for fast food on our trips to Canada again. We had bagel sandwiches; both were delicious and well made! I enjoyed an iced coffee as well, and am looking forward to trying their flavored cold brew. The space was cute, and if we were looking for a spot to take a real break from driving I'd definitely hang out there for lunch. Service was friendly and helpful. If I were local, it would be a great study/remote work spot. Looking forward to stopping again soon! read more

First timer Drive thru Medium Ice Caramel Latte Excellent selection Excellent service, very friendly My only minor issue is the drink was not mixed well All the caramel was on the bottom. I should've asked for a straw and it would've been no big deal, but I didn't and I was halfway down the road when I realized it. It won't stop me from coming back. Solid 4+ stars I'll be back for sure read more

Super plain. My 3-cheese panini was a fine grilled cheese sandwich. Nothing special. My lunch mate had the Chipotle Cheddar Chicken Panini and felt the same. It was a quick lunch & tasted OK. read more

We arrived at 1110am hoping to get some drinks and a small breakfast. The place was moderately busy. There's a drive thru and then a big seating area inside with the counter. Plenty of drink and food options available. We ordered 2 drinks off their specials board which were "dirty sodas", I opted for a nitro cold brew black. We ordered 1 egg and cheese wrap. It took 10 minutes for them to take our order upon arrival and then we didn't get any drinks or food until 1150. It seems they prioritize the drive thru and don't really have a system to make drinks or handle customers in an efficient manner. We ordered relatively basic drinks and waited over 25 minutes. The place does have a nice ambiance but the lengthy wait times for orders will prevent me from coming back. read more

The car in front of me in the drive thru was having trouble with their order...they kept getting bags handed out to them that were handed back. Waited 20 minutes for my $9.00 chai latte (tea with lots of cinnamon), not good! Up charge for oak milk is ridiculous! read more

It's just standard coffee place and baked goods are nowhere near homemade. You can get just as good at Mirabito, which is right there as well. Or go to Dunkin. It's very open and private conversation is hard unless you get the seats in the back by the fireplace, everyone can overhear your conversation. read more

Really 6+ stars for a fantastic coffee shop right off 81. Plenty of parking in the lot out front takes you into a clean spacious interior with comfortable modern touches. I'm a dark roast coffee fan and this is the best dark roast coffee I've had. It is smooth and flavorful and best enjoyed black. The breakfast sandwich was perfect and goes great with a muffin. The service was fast and friendly. Come in and support this local business! read more

Cafe has a drive through which is convenient. The quality is your typical cafe food/coffee. This place is extremely expensive for the mediocre food and drinks. Latte was lackluster. Hard to support local businesses when they charge 3x the amount of nearby chains and lack in quality. read more

This is a very nice place to just sit and unwind, have a great lunch or breakfast and a cup of coffee. I sit here sometimes with my laptop to do work upstairs and I can't believe how much work I get done. Highly recommended and great service. read more

I love this cafe . The workers are incredibly sweet and friendly . Their Avacado toast is one of my husbands and I favorite things to have for breakfast . read more

A beautiful space to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee, panini, or baked good. Or if you're in a hurry, use their convenient online ordering or drive thru. If you're looking for some coffee and don't want the cookie cutter option down the street, stop in for some friendly service and a great cup of coffee! read more

So helpful had car trouble and they serviced us with absolute kindness would recommend 10/10 for a quick stop or to enjoy breakfast

So nice to have a real coffee shop so close to home. Great place to start your day or enjoy the afternoon pick me up. Great service and delicious coffee. read more

AMAZING cafe!! Great place to stop in for a quick bite to eat off the thruway. Great service and atmosphere, the lattes were delicious and so was the lunch. My sisters and I all got paninis with soup, so delicious and affordable. We all said we wished we lived nearby, otherwise we'd all be regulars. Can't say enough good things about this place, thank you to everyone working here! read more

We have been waiting for a good coffee shop to open up for so long! This little spot is perfect! read more

Great food, great atmosphere, great coffee- definitely one of my favorite coffee shops anywhere I've ever been. And great service!

Friendly staff, inviting atmosphere, and great food/drinks! They even have some gluten-free/dairy-free options and you can sub for gluten-free items, just make sure to ask! You never know, if you don't ask! read more

Great coffee. Thankfully a friend ordered soup, so naturally I ordered soup, delicious. Cute baristas!

Awesome update to the area. The atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. Love the seating area around the fireplace. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. It's a great place to meet with friends and catch up. read more

Sweet Aroma Cafe - The Mocha Latte was delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Central Square, New York

Sweet Aroma is the best stop for coffee in the area! Whether you are traveling through or a resident of the area, this place is somewhere you need to try! The atmosphere is very welcoming, the staff is wonderful and the coffee is worth every penny!! read more

We were unsure of what to get being it was our first time here. We went to the drive through and Stephanie told us to come to the window and she helped us out and was so nice! It helped we were the only one in the drive through but even the gesture itself was nice. I got a classic iced Carmel latte. It was delicious. My son got a mango smoothie and loved it! I did get an apple turnover and they forgot to heat it up and it was lacking in apple for my taste but I'd definitely try more bakery items from them. I'd definitely come back! read more

Finally a real coffee place in the central square/west Monroe area! Arguably salt city coffee makes the best cup, and coffee/espresso, in the CNY area and as luck would have it, that's exactly what this new modern cafe is serving up. They are new and have a few kinks they are still working out, and no gluten free breakfast items (the only reason 4 stars) but I will definitely be a regular :) read more

Nice place with very kind people! Coffee was great as well - great place to just pass through, would love to go back.

The space is absolutely beautiful and was extremely well done. I ordered a small coffee and a panini which ran me almost $20. The coffee was barely lukewarm, wasn't made fresh and frankly didn't taste great. Always concerned when I go into a coffee shop and it doesn't smell like coffee. The sandwich was made wrong. If given a choice of what type cheese, please use the kind ordered. The bread was soggy, like super unpleasant soggy, pull off pieces of dough globs kind of soggy and the chicken was so dry it would have been more accurately described as chicken jerky. One half of the sandwich had no bacon at all on it. And the other side had 3/4 of a slice of paper thin limp sadness for bacon. For such a great space, the product is just disappointing verging on disgusting. Really quite unfortunate. read more

Excellent coffee. Staff truly understands coffee. A real cut above local diner and fast food coffee joints. Beautiful place inside. Sit upstairs and enjoy the serenity. Such a welcome addition to the Central Square area. They have a drive through as well though I enjoy sitting inside. Easy diversion into and out in morning from rt 49 especially for those on the North Shore headed to Rt 81. Highly recommended read more

The sweet cream cold brew was amazing (better than Starbucks), and the breakfast sandwiches were hot and delicious. The place is so cute, and the people manning it were so sweet. I wish I lived nearby so I could visit more often! read more

This cafe is an absolute gem! The workers are kind and provide fantastic service, the menu is extensive in food and drink options, and the atmosphere is the perfect cozy coffee shop. I came here with an old friend and it was by far the best spot to sit and chat. There is no music, so it's peaceful and relatively quiet, except for the ambient noises of the espresso machine and nearby customers chatting. Their cold brew was some of the best I've had, with a rich and bold flavor, and the bagel with avocado that I ordered was plated beautifully and absolutely delicious! Not to mention, the prices of this place are some of the best I've seen. Usually coffee shops with a pleasant atmosphere are incredible priced up, but these are even cheaper than a Dunkin' or Starbucks! Also, as a queer person, it was one of the only places in Central Square area that I've felt safe in! No weird looks from customers or workers, and exceptional service! My friend and I had finished our coffees and were chatting for another 2 hours and a gentleman came all the way up to the loft to bring us ice water unprompted! In addition to the incredible service and atmosphere, it's wonderfully clean and crisp. They have a modern yet cozy interior, with huge windows to let in tons of natural light! Side note for parents: they have a changing table in their bathroom (which is really clean) and multiple high chairs for customer use! 100/10. Might be my favorite cafe in all of CNY. read more

Best coffee I've had in years:) the staff is very friendly and the new building looks awesome! Best of luck to you.

Incredible spot for west Monroe! Beautiful building with spacious inside, and fantastic latte's and speciality drinks. Go support this fantastic new business! read more

Everything is good if not a little expensive. Ambiance is very nice to just sit and chill out or chat.

Stopped for breakfast this morning. Person manning the take-out window chit- chatting with customer. Two people in prep area talking to each other. We were completely ignored for several minutes. Finally walked out. This place won't last. read more
