6. Turkey, Avocado, Jack, Mayo, Lettuce, and Tomato
Molly L.

We came here on a weekday for lunch and enjoyed a tuna sandwich and a turkey avocado sandwich. For two sandwiches, two drinks, and 3 cookies, we spent about $50 including tip. The service is nice and friendly and there are clearly a lot of regulars. I think the biggest draw for me is that they bake their bread and cookies in-house. Their chocolate walnut cookies were so good and so was their Italian roll, which although we waited 10 minutes for, was delicious. This is a no frills sandwich place with about three small tables and 6-7 seats.

Falafel wrap with spinach wrap
Sydney J.

I ordered ahead on the website for a falafel wrap, with spinach wrap (they also have lavash and wheat as options). It was ready when I got there. Initially, I thought it was pretty mild and needed more flavor, except there was a jolt of something spicy here and there. When I ate the leftovers later, however, it was way too spicy to the point of being unpleasant and I was not able to enjoy the falafel properly. I'm not sure what exactly it was they put in it that made it so spicy for me, as this has not commonly been my experience when getting a comparable wrap from other restuarants. So unfortunately I ended up not liking the wrap in the end. However, the size itself was decent for the price and I do appreciate that they offer spinach as a wrap option.

Half #3 sandwich with cup of soup (chicken tortilla)
Liz S.

Service was friendly and quick. I got the #3 sandwich on Dutch cream cheese, avocado, cucumbers, mayo, and sprouts which was good. I got this with a cup of soup chicken tortilla which has not good, the soup lacked flavor and was not enjoyable that's why the 4 star review.

boxed lunches!
Didi N.

We ordered Aroma Cafe catering for our conference event and they did not disappoint! We had breakfast, boxed lunches, drinks, coffee, kind bars, and chips catered and let me tell you, they go all out! Breakfast day 1: We had an assortment of pastries (muffins, bagels, croissants, scones, turnovers, buns, rolls), fruit salad, and coffee and everything was fresh. The fruit salad had watermelon, cantaloupe, melon, pineapple, strawberries and was probably one of the freshest fruit salads I've ever had. A lot of the guests enjoyed the fruit salad very much. The pastries were also a hit! The scones which came in cinnamon, cranberry, and blueberry were delightful, fluffy, and not dry at all. The pastry assortment came with muffins that were the size of our hands and they were so delicious! But my favorite were the bagels! They weren't stale, fluffy, and the cream cheese that came with it, was the chef's kiss. I sneaked a jalapeno cheddar bagel and omg, it was one of the best bagels ever! I tried the cinnamon roll-ups and they tasted exactly like a cinnamon roll, the chocolate filled croissants were flaky, fresh, and the perfect amount of chocolate filling. No complaints from the guests at all on the assortment of pastries! The coffees and teas were also fresh and refreshed periodically. I appreciate having decaf options and a good selection of teas. Lunch Day 1: We chose to have boxed lunches (an assortment of veggie, ham, and turkey sandwiches with an assortment of green salad, pasta salad, or fruit salad). Also came with a variety of cookies (chocolate chip, oatmeal, peanut butter, white chocolate macadamia nut, chocolate, and snickerdoodle cookies. The boxed lunches were a hit among the guests and we loved the variety of choices! The sandwiches were huge and tasted delicious! The green salad was my favorite as it came with greens, beets, beans, carrots, and delicious dressings (ranch, italian, honey mustard)! My favorite dressing was the honey mustard! They don't do gluten free bread but were generous to provide gluten free options like salads! GET THE COOKIES!! some of the best cookies ever! The cookies were the highlight of lunch! They were all baked to perfection, gooey, and not too sweet. I saw alot of guests grab multiple cookies, even to-go, so that's a very good sign! For the snacks, we got the kind bars (salted caramel and dark chocolate) and chips. The chips were the Kettle brand and came in multiple flavors like jalapeno, bbq, salt and pepper, salt and vinegar, honey dijon (my favorite), pickle, regular. As soon as the chips came, everyone literally ran to them and grabbed multiple bags! I even grabbed some for my flight! There were no complaints! The soda selection were also great! They pretty much had every regular and diet soda available much to our excitement! Breakfast Day 2: We had the pastry assortment again and this time, had even more bagels (yay!) and this time we had chobani fruit yogurts! The yogurts were delicious and everyone enjoyed them. We had fruit salad, orange juice (freshly squeezed and just the right amount of tang), and also tea and coffees. Lunch and Snacks Day 2: We had the boxed lunches again with chips, kind bars, cookies, sodas. Overall, great and friendly service, on time, and high quality food, drinks, and snacks. I don't remember the name of the person who set everything up but he was very pleasant and a joy to work with. He came on time with all the coffee refreshes as well. I got to meet the owner, Emile and he was so kind, pleasant, and made sure everything was good to go. Prices are reasonable and for the amount we paid, we had more than enough food, drinks, coffee, tea, and snacks! Thank you so much Emile and the staff at Aroma Cafe for making our meetings special! 10/10 would recommend them for catering or just a good spot for some good food!

Chicken Caesar Salad SANDWICH!!!
Racquell C.

I LOVE AROMA!!! The cookies are everything!!! Chocolate chip, snickerdoodle and oatmeal raisin ARE GREAT!!! On occasions i go in with crazy request and THEY HAVE YET TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM!!! My most recent craving was a chicken caesar salad SANDWICH. IT WAS EXECUTED PERFECTLY!!! The right amount of EVERYTHING in it!!!

My order: Turkey, extra mayo, mustard, pickles, lettuce, sprouts all on a fresh baked roll. I love this place! When I go into the office and didn't bring lunch, I come here for a sandwich and some chips. Others also rave about their cookies (I don't have much of a sweet tooth but do enjoy their cookies every once in awhile), and their breakfast sandwiches. Definitely recommend coming here on your lunch and/or to pick up a quick meal for a picnic at the lake.

Tuna bagel sandwich on a poppyseed bagel. So yummy! The tuna isn't super heavy w/ mayo either! Very filling too.
Malena I.

Thank you to David & Amil for being so kind and friendly on my first visit here! The customer service is great and the food is even tastier!!! I got a tuna bagel sandwich on poppyseed which was soooo good. The bagel sandwiches are filling and I love how the tuna isn't heavily coated with mayo! You have to make sure you get a cookie too for dessert! They're warm, gooey, and soooo delicious! Definitely coming back to try out their big salads too :-)! Thank you again Aroma Bakery & Cafe! A perfect gem for delicious bagel sandwiches + more!

I finally tried this out since we were eating at a place nearby and got lucky and parked right across from this shop. They not only have juices and teas. They sell other items, fresh veggies, fresh fruits and California Lottery Tickets. ----LOCATION---- - Located in Chinatown - Street Parking, plan accordingly or drive with someone and have a friend hop out of the car for order pick up ---HOW TO ORDER/PAY---- - Order/Pay in Person or on a variety of food apps like Uber Eats but also you can order through YELP. - I recommend ordering on YELP or another food app so that pick up is quick and efficient. ____DRINKS____ ----CANTALOUPE & STRAWBERRY JUICE---- - I created this using their "3 Choice" Juice option - Super refreshing! Especially on a hot day - Keep in mind that they are no added sugars, it's straight up fruit and not so sweet - Super healthy! ---- VITMAIN C TEAM---- - This is one of their pre-made juices that is ready for purchase. - They make it themselves - Great for if you're feeling sick, around sick people or for before/after a trip and you need that extra vitamin c boost! - A heads up, the ginger taste is strong in this ----DRAGON FRUIT SMOOTHIE---- - This is was refreshing and tasty. I liked how it wasn't too sweet. My boyfriend originally ordered this but didn't like it so much because it tasted like "Earth" but that's the whole point for it to be no additives and straight fruits and no artificial flavoring... more for me because I drank his smoothie LOL ---SERVICE---- -Service is amazing. They are very kind and grateful. If you have any questions regarding their drinks, they will explain them to you. ---RESTROOMS/INTERIOR--- - No restrooms - It's a small corner shop - This is a more of a grab and go type of establishment ----REASONS FOR MY 5 STARS---- - Variety of fruits and veggies for drinks - Great customer service, they were/are very patient and kind to everyone that they interact with while I was waiting for my drinks

I pedaled my bike over there this Wednesday morning, aiming to secure a proper breakfast that would actually carry me past 11 a.m. The shop is cozy, definitely on the smaller side with a few seats inside, giving it that familiar, neighborhood spot feel. It's not a sprawling, antiseptic café, and I appreciate that. I ordered the Laney Breakfast Sandwich, which features egg, fresh spinach, sliced turkey, and Swiss cheese on a toasted English muffin. What impressed me was the intentionality--this wasn't something sitting under a heat lamp, looking defeated. It was clearly made to order. The egg was seasoned right, the turkey wasn't flimsy, and the spinach added that necessary fresh bite. It was a damn good sandwich, simple as that. I paired that with the Berry Lovers Smoothie. The original recipe calls for banana, but I asked if they could swap that out for mango. My people know that mango adds a different kind of sunshine, and they executed the substitution flawlessly. It came out thick, perfectly blended--a rich mix of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and that mango kick. It was super refreshing and didn't taste like I was drinking melted ice. The service was quick and friendly, which is key on a weekday morning. Everything tasted clean, fresh, and intentionally prepared. If you're looking for high-quality breakfast fare that feels less commercial and more like something someone actually cares about, stop by. The short bike ride and the intimate seating are worth it for what comes out of that kitchen. They earned this review.

The milk tea quality honestly was ok. I am not sure why I tasted a hint of thai tea lol but I did not mind. The boba quality was great. Perfect texture and I love how chewy it is. Plus they gave a good boba proportion! The popcorn chicken was not spicy enough for me so I used the powder they had near the seating area. I think they try to not make it too spicy because a lot of families and kiddos order it so they probably don't want to make it very spicy. You can sit here too as you wait or as you eat. Staff are typical - not overly friendly but not cold. They are ready to work and hustle! Many childhood memories associated with this place. It has remained a place I will always come back to.
