1/4/2020 I would rate this place 3.5 stars. This cafe is located inside Square One. There are couple of tables and chairs with windows to people watch. The cafe is pretty small and thus felt a bit cramped. The place was crowded when we arrived and we barely got a seat. As well, they have only one bathroom so there was always a line up. My friends and I ordered brownie with icecream (costs extra with the icecream), regular coffee, ice aroma, and ice hot chocolate. The brownie with icecream was really delicious- I honestly think the icecream made the brownie taste a lot better. The ice aroma was surprisingly pretty good- sweet but not too sweet with a hint of caffeine. I was told the ice hot chocolate was pretty good as well. I also liked how the drinks came with a piece of chocolate. Overall, the food itself I had no qualms about. In summary, it is a good place for takeout or quick sip but I would advise against staying here for a long time. read more

Whenever we go to square one this is one stop we have to make. Love the Bureka treat, the white sauce, and the pickles taste soo good. Brazilian hazelnut latte was really good. we asked them to make it extra hot with a cheese danish. read more

Well this place is good but definitely a little extra noisy and has space issues. No problem with the cafe and food it's good and has decent price. I enjoyed the mocha in which they literally put a small Chocolate chip so allow it melt and mix well. They also have good latte. The avocado toast was average though. Overall it's a nice place. They do have seating arrangement outside but in the cold weather with just the inside seating this place gets a little cramped up. read more

Our first stop in Toronto. It was located in the mall and convenient access to the parking lot. The staff were friendly and helpful. The quality of their coiffed and other eatables are decent, as you would expect from a store inside a mall, fast food style. The place was clean and has several seats if you need to seat and get some work done. read more

Aroma Espresso Bar - First stop in Toronto - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

We've been to this location of Aroma twice now. Because it's in a very busy mall, it tends to be quite busy and a bit noisy, but it's a very nice location nonetheless. The first time we were here, I ordered a latte which was delicious and the barista was extremely friendly. My son ordered an iced chocolate (like a thick milkshake) with a scoop of ice cream. His drink was also delicious. Today my husband and I both ordered the affogato (an espresso with a scoop of vanilla ice cream) because it's an extremely hot day and we are sitting on the patio. The drinks are absolutely delicious. We may have another :) It was the same barista as the first time I was here and he was equally friendly despite being very busy. The patio area is very spacious and a great place for people watching. read more

This location has a nice patio for summer but it does blast music really loudly. I tried the ice hazelnut latte and it was pretty good. They give you a little chocolate with your coffee or smoothie. Prices are like Starbucks tho. If you are looking to study or do work, this might not be the place for you due to loud music but if you just want to hang with friends it's a good coffee place. Also, when you are finished ordering and paying at cash, you can just go find your seat and they will call your name on speaker to pick up the coffee. read more

Somewhat difficult to review as I had 1 cold drink, stayed a coupla hours to do some writing...on the coldest day of the Winter! What drew me here was the view via the floor-to-ceiling windows. Instead of being stuck in a cubicle, I opted for a café, with free wifi, and perhaps some background noise. So that's basically what I got, no surprises there. Drinks were pricey-ish, along the Starbuck Grande/specialty line, ~$5. I ordered a Lemon-Mint Iced drink. Weird, I know, since it was like -15, and I didn't want anything caffeinated, yet wanted something refreshing. Music was loud and not the best station. If you're there with your laptop, try the lower chairs. Stools were quite uncomfortable. Tip: Do not sit on the Saarinen-looking stools! I tried one and it was very wobbly, quite unsafe actually. So I switched to the other one. Not entirely stable, but still a bit dangerous if you have to hop on it with your Winter-gear on. read more

This aroma espresso bar is kind of a disaster. The staff are really friendly but the restaurant is a bit dirty and the food takes forever (over 10 mins for a quinoa salad). They could use one of their staff members to clean or wipe down the tables and seats. Seating is limited so if you find a table and chairs, make your territory. They were also temporary out of the vegan burgee :( read more

* Love the ambiance! * Perfect for quiet, sit down time and enjoy espresso. * Located at the mall but not inside where it can be crowded. Just perfect! * Perfect for after shopping cool down or simply taking a break in between shopping. * Ample open space parking across. read more

If heaven has sandwiches, the bureka treat would be one of them (minus the pickles, of course). That is my go to sandwich and it's puff-pastry-feta-egg-tomato-tahini goodness! I introduced many people to this delicacy who are as equally hooked on it as I am. I also gave the cheese stick a try today which was just okay. A little bland. read more

Tried their new hazelnut latte with almond milk and it was decent. Their half breakfast sandwich was yummy but really small - for $5 I got omelette, lettuce, pickles and cream cheese on multigrain bread. Was a bit pricey overall - $11 for both drink and half sandwich! :s My friends tried the iced version of the same latte and did not like it - was literally like a milkshake! The staff is friendly and the patio is nice on a warm summer day. Not sure if I would return just for the food and drinks though! read more

I love Aroma anywhere, but I wasn't expecting the one at Square One to be such a perfect spot for brunch. The proximity to the fountain outside makes it a very lovely spot to spend a Sunday morning, though I prefer the inside where it's cooler, but you can still see the outside and get lots of sunlight. Throw in a hazelnut iced aroma and you got a perfect start to a lazy day. The potato hash breakfast I got was delicious and fresh, served on a nice bed of arugula (with za'atar - a Mediterranean spice mixture - and yogurt), with a zingy lemon olive oil dressing on the side. It also nice bite-sized portions of chicken and turkey! The steak and egg half sandwich my bf got was also brimming with meat. I tried the roasted red pepper soup which always seems to be on rotation and it's like a slightly spicy, ultra-bold tomato soup. Glad to have a place at Square One that isn't just fast food and has great ingredients! :) read more

***1/2 stars for me... definitely better than the average place and MILES better than the Sherway Aroma. After my little disaster of a drink order at Sherway Aroma, I decided to give Aroma a final try before i casted off the entire brand. I arrived early on Friday morning at Square One and needed a caffeine kick. Sometime a bit sweet but not drenched in sugary overload. I ordered a medium almond milk chai latte with a shot and they started immediately working on my drink. The ordering was quick smooth plus it has tap ... convenient. I got the latte quickly and it was filled up to the top and given a little small chocolate treat as part of your order. Though it's not the best chocolate, the small offering is a nice touch over other places. Compared to Sherway, this place was much friendly so bonus points to them! My drink was nice and hot... and appropriately filled to about 85% of the cup! NOT LIKE SHERWAY where they filled it to only 60%. It had a better balance than the Sherway one too. Though it is a touch sweet... the larger amount of almond milk allowed more of the spice to flavour the drink and less of the sugary syrup. This place is clean with lots of tables and bright sun coming through. It's a nice little spot and alternative to the food court Starbucks and Second Cup. I'll have to try them again with a coffee drink. For now, it's a solid option! read more

I like Aroma, for a large coffee chain it's not bad and usually consistent. This location is terrible. Food is regularly sub par, orders are made wrong often. The coffee is decent but only order food it it isn't busy and the server looks over 25 and isn't completely stoned, which is rare at this spot. Otherwise hope you brought a good book as the wait will warrant it. Seats aren't wiped down, u tables are left dirty for 30 min durations. Last breakfast sandwich was terrible, came out cold and the Americano was just a cup of coffee. Way to screw up my order yet again Aroma. Get your act together you're making long lines and burnt java at Starbucks look good again. I would have asked for a refund but the line was too long, better to just share the post and move on. read more

Love the power breakfast. Sunny side up to did the wicked bread. Simple breakfast but a nice mix of veggies, goat cheese and feta. London for is a specialty tea. Meal comes fast, but seating area is usually a bit dirty. Overall big fan for a mall breakfast that's not greasy. read more

This review is just a quickie as I did not get a real meal here. I got a soy vanilla latte and picked up a croissant in honor of national croissant day for the boyfriend. The latte was average price and average taste, I wouldn't rush back here for one. The croissants are made fresh all day and when I got it it was hot, that is great and that would be a reason to return. I have heard the other locations food is good but I guess I will have to try for myself one day. read more

I've stopped in here a few times as its it square one mall and convenient when you're shopping. The iced aroma is by far my favourite drink, it's not too sweet or bitter. I love that you get a small piece of chocolate with each purchase, it's a nice touch. The patio area is great when it's sunny but the foot traffic nearby is quite busy. The staff are friendly and always greet you with a smile, it seems like they enjoy working there. All in all its a nice shop but it's best to go when it's not peak mall hours, as it gets quite crowded. read more

I don't usually go to these type of places, but my friend was moving away to another country, and we decided to celebrate here. I like the casual and relaxed atmosphere of the place, and how it's situated right at the entrance. Even though it's the first thing you see from the outside, from the inside it looks more hidden, so it provides a little "hideaway" feel, which is quite nice. I've since eaten here twice, and have ordered something different each time, and I can conclude that I like their food. It's simple yet flavourful. I wish the portions were bigger, but then again, I don't have a normal appetite. Service is a little slow, but it's not gonna stop me from coming back. I had the philly steak sandwich. It was savoury, and it definitely hit the spot. read more

I've had their desserts and thought they were pretty good but it wasn't until recently that I decided to try their food. The first time I had their breakfast hash and it was good. I was really happy to find somewhere with quick service and healthy options. That evening I got really sick and assumed it was from the dinner I ate the night before from wholefoods (end of the night hot food station assumed it could of been out all day). Today I decided to go there for lunch and order the aroma salad and a mango and kale smoothie. Because this is the only thing I've eaten all day (I worked late) I can say with certainty it is the cause of me currently living in my bathroom. Aside from the last time I ate there I can't remember the last time I got this sick after eating out. I'm honestly confused because I have no idea what it is exactly that made me sick but I know going forward i'll stick to the desserts. Don't get me wrong the food is good but it really not worth the aftermath. read more

Visually appealing coffee shop, beautifully lit (except for the early evening sun - then it's blinding). Service at the register was friendly, barista was neutral. I ordered the Matcha Green Tea Latte, one of my favourite hot drinks. This was one of the worst ones I've tried before. The barista put way too much matcha in the drink; I watched him put two scoops of matcha in the cup and I was a little concerned. Sure enough, when I tried it the matcha was overpowering and caused the drink to be pretty unpleasant. As a side note, Starbucks has an awesome green tea latte. read more

Lovely little patio to have a coffee on a nice day. I've had the Aroma coffee, mango smoothie, grilled chicken sandwich and avocado sandwich. All of them were great! Favourites were the chicken sandwich and coffee. A half sandwich is large enough to get you full and the coffee is filled with melted chocolate! Sooo good, especially for a sweet tooth like me who isn't fond of the coffee taste but needs the caffeine. Worth a visit :) read more

I always get the grilled chicken sandwich or the warm chicken salad with a chai latte or iced aroma and it never disappoints. Pastries and food are fresh. Great drinks. Will definitely be back. read more

We love the Aroma chain but this location is terrible. The front staff does not know the food items they sell. She kept insisting that an item does not even exist on the menu. I said look back on the menu board. Then again for another item. The bigger issue is the attitude with which it was done as if it was my fault to order those items. read more

It's a typical Aroma Espresso bar, I've been here 3 times. But, it is horribly noisy. Hard to hold a conversation or even have a bite in peace. Don't even bother trying to get work done. read more

Had lunch at this place and really enjoyed it. Food was really fresh and healthy. Smoothie was also great!

Phenomenal food, the service was so fast which was incredible. The barista was lovely, I could tell he had a passion for coffee. The place itself was lit, the vibe was relaxed but seemed classy and elite. Gives you downtown Toronto sort of vibes that you want to revisit. The food was extremely good & looked great, I had an overall great experience. read more

Aroma Espresso Bar - a plate of food and a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

This is my go to coffee shop! All of their drinks taste a lot more authentic and are better than anything you'll find at a Starbucks or Second Cup. I usually order a cappuccino and a mini red velvet cupcake, but I've tried a few other drinks and they really are top notch! They have free wifi, which is great as I can get some work done while I'm there. This is a pretty loud and noisy location but I guess that's understandable seeing as how Square One itself is a busy mall. As for seating, contrary to most, I quite enjoy sitting at the bar. I find the stools comfortable and that area of the store is always quieter and less crowded anyway! read more

Everything I've tried here has been gross, even their coffee drinks. Scratch that, I guess their mango juice was decent. The place is often crowded with little seating offered. The lighting isn't great either--I'd rather not have all that sunlight in my face. read more

Worst location! Very very slow service, waited 15 minutes for my Ice Aroma+extra expresso shot(an usual for me)... when I got it, it was just Ice blended with some cream(probably too busy, forgot half the ingredients)! Definitely not the creamy ice aroma I've had at other locations. Oh, and I even saw that the bartender didn't add the extra expresso shot I paid for, so I purposely asked her when she was handing the drink over to me... "Did you add the expresso shot?" She paused and replied "Yes." I thought okay, maybe they did it in the kitchen this time. My ass! It's Ice and cream, there is no damn trace of coffee. I went back to find her and told her it's not Ice Aroma, telling her politely that it literally taste like blended ice, and she replied me "Are you sure you didn't order the Aroma Lite?" !!!!!! Wow girl! I had the Lite version before too, trying to trick me eh. Anyways after a firm voice of "This is not Ice Aroma with extra expresso shot, can you remake it?" I got eyeballed, and waited another 10 minutes for it and no apologizes.... But this time when it's done right, it taste sooo creamy and nutty like the usuals from the other locations. BTW, this was from 2 weeks ago. read more

I went this place several times and coffee tastes good but honestly the place is so loud and the service is terrible. My coffee took more than 10minutes because they missed? my order for some reason, without saying sorry. I had to say what I ordered three times (first when I order, second when my coffee was missed, third they gave me regular size when I asked for large one). read more

Love love love Aroma! They have amazing drinks, both hot and cold, fresh bread and delicious sandwiches
