    Disappointing chocolate milkshake
    Megan S.

    Looks charming but doesn't deliver. The cupcake was dry and underwhelming, the chocolate icing was lacking in taste. My chocolate milkshake was almost five pounds but was a sloppy, icy disappointment. The staff seemed distracted. Don't be drawn in by the sprinkles.

    For children this place is a huge treat, the sugar explosion from the cupcakes, tables with sweets beneath their glass tops make this a great place for them. They are busy after school with local children being treated by their parents and it gives pleasure to both. For adults though the cakes are so sugary and each one tastes more of sugar than the actual differing flavours they are meant to be. As a result it is great for children and that is what it is. The prices are high but not wrong for such a very affluent area. Also whilst the owner is very impressive for creating such a lovely thing, her stress running the place makes the customer feel a bit like they are part of the strains of running the business and not front of house enjoying it all. My advice would be to train the staff when things need to be done, so this can be delegated and she does not have to be so involved telling them when things should be done. I also hope it has a big takeaway and outside catering business as I cannot see how such a large staff number can support so few tables. Great for kids, a big recommendation, but like many kids things, adults without childen may prefer to go to places more geared to them. Before I came after school times I did not understand how this business works, but seeing how kids love it, I now do.

    Arome produced pastries both beautiful and divine!…read more On the recommendation of friends, we made a stop by here for a Monday breakfast. According to their website, they deliver "European excellence with Asian flair" which is really a great way to describe their pastries and the experience! Definitely the quality that you would expect with some of those Asian flavors. Here is what we tried: Chocolate Pistachio Escargot (5/5): Shaped in a snail shell, in between the flaky layers of pastry were luscious chocolate sprinkled with pistachio for nutty texture. Really enjoyed this one! Honey Butter Toast (4/5): Touted as their signature, I had high expectations for this. It is exactly as described which that slightly sweetness from the honey in a perfectly toasted milk bread. I did enjoy this a lot but also felt like it would benefit by having something else for texture or contrast. Chicken Butter Croissant (4/5): The croissant had the nice flaky layer with chewy interior. I loved the savory chicken sausage with the slightly sweet soy glaze that provided nice contrast and that Asian twist. When we got there a little after opening, there was no line but all the seats were taken as the place is quite limited on seats. While we were asked to wait for a little a bit outside, we did not have to wait too long. However, the line did end up getting longer as we were leaving and some ended up eating outside. Overall, if you are interested in tasting some tasty pastries, I would recommend Arome!

    I came here alone and ate three pastries to myself. Everything was delicious and made so fresh…read more They have very unique offerings you can't get everywhere. The chicken hotdog croissant was my absolute favorite. 10/10 Even though they have a line sometimes the service is really quick and they do a good job of getting everyone through. It's a small place with intimate setting.
