We ordered an Iced Americano and an Iced Hazelnut Latte. The Latte was sweetened with granulated sugar which required some stirring to avoid a grainy texture, otherwise very good. The espresso in the Americano wasn't the best I've had, but very drinkable and refreshing. Service was friendly and the drinks came out quickly. The shaded outdoor seating on the corner was also relaxing. read more

Was only spending one day in Torrance, and found this on the way to our air b n b and fell in love! The omelette was delicious, and the coffee was an amazing size and hit the spot! You order at the counter and pick up, and even then, the people at the counter were so sweet and helpful. I was excited when I noticed so many bread loaves at the top by the kitchen and them making their own croutons in house. The freshness def hit the spot which is always refreshing on a vacation. Thank you for a great experience! read more

Stopped by this coffee shop on our way back from a walk around Toronto downtown. To this day, I dream about the date pastry. Like it was so good. Service was fast. Not much seating area tho. read more

Aroma was the most convenient coffee shop to visit while on my work trip to Toronto, as it was on the walk between our airbnb and the conference center. This was one of the gems that none of us had particularly saved but decided to try since it was so convenient. But I'm so glad we did. I had an iced latte and a lox breakfast sandwich, and both were so good! I saw some other reviews here complaining about their service but they were very nice to us. I also liked that they had a tablet ordering system as well as ordering via the cashier - I thought it was very convenient based on individual preferences. Our orders came out very quickly and we were able to head out and move about our day, although there are plenty of tables for indoor dining as well. Really enjoyed aroma, would definitely recommend. read more

This was a great little coffee place. My cold brew was the perfect morning pick me up. The turkey bacon egg and cheese croissant featured fresh scrambled eggs. I would've like the croissant to be a little fluffier but overall, enjoyed this. read more

Decided to stop by this coffee shop while walking to our lunch spot for a quick warm drink. My family and I each ordered a small size dine in and we were pleased with the portion of coffee. Flavor & coffee quality was pretty good and tasty. My siblings got a matcha latte and it tasted authentic and not all sugar. My other sister got a hot chocolate and had a great chocolate-y flavor, but was also not overly sweet, which was good. My parents got an aroma coffee & macchiato, and they were also pleased w the flavor of them. Our coffees came out swiftly, but the service was a bit iffy. Service felt a bit rude and rushed? I felt that w the cashier and then when I got all 6 drinks on the tray, I asked what drink was what and she rushed the first time saying it, so I asked again and she was super annoyed to tell me the drinks again. So with the service I knock the rating down to 3 stars overall; 4 stars for the coffee quality. This location is pretty intimate and in a busy corner, so it could be difficult to find seating at a busy time. Parking is tough since it's in DT, you'll have to source paid parking at a nearby lot. read more

Right off the street, and quite busy! Even with the amount of service they are receiving, your order still comes out quickly. The store is quite small with not many tables, but still certainly worth getting a cup to go. I haven't tried the food yet, but they seem to have a lot of good looking options! Highly recommend! read more

Aroma Espresso Bar - Matcha latte with extra espresso shot + chai shot - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A decent place right next to the CN tower Toronto downtown. It's a cozy little sit down place with a variety of soups, bowls and sandwiches to order from. They have multiple vegetarian options but I didn't check if they have vegan food available or not. Their service is good. You place order and take a seat, then when your name is called ,you go pick up food from the serving counter. This is a business casual and family friendly restaurant. I didn't check to see if they have outdoor seating or not. Roadside metered parking is available. If not, you have to use garage parking. read more

Been here a few times through the years while shooting Comicon and FanExpo cosplay shoots (photography). Service is always great, even during peak convention craziness. Something that I think doesn't exist in a lot of cafes during slow days. I forgot to take pics, but it was a red cup with a white lid. A strong cup and lid that are superior to the cheap cups of Tim Horton's. Anyway, the coffee was delicious. 9/10, darker roast would've been better but still great. My wife got a hot chocolate which on the other hand was soooo expensive and not good. So 0/10. 3/5 read more

Service was pleasant, helpful, and cheery. The food came out fast and was a fair price. I would return on these points. Turkey BLT was good. Bread was fresh but sliced a little thicker than I prefer. It was suggested I have the white bread and I should have stuck to my normal and had whole wheat (saw someone else's and it looked better). One slice, all be it relatively large, of turkey bacon, fair amount of deli turkey, insipid tomatoes (to be fair it is February, but these were pretty bad), and one small slice of Romaine. When I saw the thickness of the bread, I asked for a side of mayo (good move). The half portion is plenty unless you are famished. My dad and I split a whole. Coffee was good. Cocoa was great. The shop has the feel of a chain coffee shop. Nothing special, but bustling and agreeable. A few tables and chairs (all full when we arrived) and a few seats at bars looking out the window. Great for people watching. read more

We were staying in a hotel right next to this place and wanted to stop in for a quick breakfast. I honestly just was not that impressed. I tried a strawberry rhubarb tart which I'm pretty sure had a little bit of mold on it and just tasted more like pastry than strawberries or rhubarb. I also had the strawberry smoothie and it was good but it did separate pretty fast. The service was okay but they did seem annoyed that we were taking time to figure out what we wanted. Also, we had ordered a breakfast sandwich and a side of bacon which were for different people but they put the bacon on the sandwich. This was a problem because I don't like eggs and they had put the bacon right on top of the eggs. When I told them this and asked for another side of bacon, they just took it off and put it on a plate and didn't make a different slice of bacon. This could definitely be a problem for people who have allergies and need food to be separate. I was just really not impressed. read more

I'm not sure if I came on an off day but I ordered on the self serve kiosk. My drink came out first which was fine but I ordered an iced matcha latte and it was not blended well at all. I had to mix it myself and there were chunks of green tea at the bottom. Some time passed and I still didn't receive my croissant even though people after me got theirs. They forgot which I don't mind but I did mind that my croissant was stale. It tasted so dense even though it was heated up. read more

Don't eat here. I've seen them sneeze on food and continue to serve that same item. Also they overcharged my husband for a side salad. They put chicken on my salad, (I'm veggie). and refused to take the salad back but then kept the overcharge on the tab. They made zero amends to a $31 salad and half sandwich. The order should have been about $15-17. Obviously its not about the money. But imagine if you couldn't afford to be overcharged, and they were just like oh well that's on you. read more

Your average coffee place in Canada. This one is across ripleys aquarium which was a respite after a long walk. Had the portobello croissant, delicious if the cheese is a bit less generous. Maybe it's me, too much cheese was just overwhelming. Love the alfalfa greens though. Friend had the pasta with vinaigrette dressing. A-ok!! read more

This espresso bar was right outside my hotel and after drinking hotel coffee for a week, decided it was time to break that. Going in this place has a lot of different options for coffee and espresso drinks as well as food. Drinks are like Starbucks in terms of size, style, and selection. Food was like a Starbucks menu on steroids! I got my typical americano. WAY BETTER THAN STARBUCKS. Very smooth drink. Was able to add cream and sugar from their little bar on the side. I also got a fig and goat cheese croissant. Highly recommend. Warning, not a small croissant so if you aren't a big breakfast person, maybe split one. The croissant was very flaky and the combination of the sweet figs with the tangy goat cheese was awesome. Came slightly warmed and everything blended together very well. The arugula added a nice peppery note every once in a while which was nice, but did also fall off sometimes. Still highly recommend. All in all, probably should have been here all week, but at least I could experience it before I left. Service was ok. Not rude or ambivalent, but not overly friendly. I'm fairness, it was early, I didn't know what I wanted and she was busy read more

The nearby brunch place my friends and I wanted to go to had a long wait so we decided to come here. I ordered the kale power bowl and added chicken and smoked salmon.

It's somewhat ironic that my second cup didn't occur at Second Cup but at Aroma. What I mean is that I've been to Aroma twice and Second Cup once. OK, maybe it wasn't so much ironic as it was inevitable since there appeared to be a lot more Aromas downtown. It's pretty much the Canuck Starbucks, eh? The C$5.25 Brewed Coffee did me just fine between work meetings. It slipped in and out of my stomach and memory, in that order. COFFEE - 3 stars...good flavor during a cold snap AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...these Aromas have big spaces SERVICE - 3.5 stars...efficient TOTAL - 3 stars...a third cup seems likely on my next trip to Toronto RELATED - Traveling to Toronto?

Aroma Espresso Bar - Half Cafe Latte with Almond Milk - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Horrible customer service! I have been to this location lots of times because it is close. I have never had a good time experience, staff is always rude and short and service is really slow. Today I was waiting in line while the one staff me ever stood on her phone at the till. I waiting for her to finish and say I can help you. She didn't! Instead someone else walked right in front me even though there was a line of 2 or 3 people behind me and took her order. Didn't say sorry they are waiting let me help her first... no! Just didn't care because she was busy on her phone. Also didn't even get my order right I had to make sure she made it with oat milk, she put a regular even though that was not what I asked for. Train your staff better! They are rude. I have never even seen one of them smile at the till. Just horrible! read more

Service was good but the line is a bit long and takes a while. Pastries are pretty good, especially the pistachio carrot cake. Latte is pretty good as well. Indoor and outdoor seating. Near the CN tower. read more

Omg! The Turkey BLT on croissant and aroma coffee were the perfect start to a busy day in Toronto! Love this gem.

Dropped in by aroma to warm up from the cold weather outside, and getting hot chocolate was the perfect way to do that. Made from their complimentary milk chocolate, their hot chocolate is worth buying for the price (which isn't expensive). read more

It's a good spot for coffee and quick eats. I ordered a double expresso both times I went. This time I ordered chocolate muffins. The muffins are bomb. I had three pieces myself. There was a issue with the cashier where she shorted me 6 dollars because I was a tourist. I went consecutive day and confronted her. I figured it was a honest mistake then my cousin was shorted two dollars. I am assuming she was flustered from my interaction that's why she made a mistake. I would hate to think this is a normal occurrence at aroma. read more

I stopped in here during a brief trip to Toronto off of a whim, trying to get warm from taking pics at the CN Tower and I'm so glad I did. This place is super cute and clean with a wide variety of coffee, tea, and pastries. As much as I wanted to order a pastry (that whiskey chocolate cake looked so good) I unfortunately am sticking to a diet so I just got some apple cider. I'm definitely putting this place on the list of places to come back to when I come to Toronto. read more

Nice people, decent tasting food. That's about all I can say. We ordered 4 things, they got two right. Ordered a breakfast sandwich with turkey bacon and they forgot the turkey bacon. In addition, gave me a cup of steamed milk when I ordered a mocha. Luckily it tastes decent, otherwise I would give no stars. At least my girlfriend said the smoothie was good read more

I got a weird vibe from the cashier, like I was unwanted. I am a tourist, but there was no language barrier and I paid in cash in full. I did appreciate that on a second trip they accepted american money (without exchanging the rate) in order to give me back canadian money. read more

Good coffee, polite staff. Food is good but on the expensive side. My only real issue is they play the music pretty loudly so everyone has to talk above it, making it a pretty noisy cafe and not conducive to working or calls. read more

First visit to Toronto & Aroma was close to our hotel. When my husband & I travel somewhere, we are always looking for a coffee shop to try. What a great place this is - I wish we had something like it back home in the states in my town. A large cappuccino is really large! Delicious pastry & something for everyone. We also enjoyed lunch here one day & our sandwiches were excellent . Freshly prepared and wonderful. If I ever make it back to Toronto, Aroma will be on the list. read more

I enjoyed everything I had from here. I got the hazelnut latte, matcha latte and a feta sandwich. The drinks had the right amount of flavor and didn't taste watered down. The sandwich was very good and filled me up. The restaurant was clean enough considering that it was pretty busy. I felt the prices were reasonable and that I got a good value. I liked the chocolate as an added touch. One star off for them not being able to make an iced mocha and them not having white bread. I know that it's not on the menu but come on now any good coffee shop should be able to make an iced mocha. I'll definitely drop into another aroma when I visit Toronto again. read more

Aroma Espresso Bar is everything I need in a coffeeshop/cafe/patisserie. -I needed a soy latte the afternoon I arrived in Toronto - Aroma was there. -I needed a quick, tasty breakfast the next day - Aroma made me the most delicious fig and goat cheese breakfast croissant. -I needed dessert. Aroma provided adorable, crunchy sugarless cookies to dip in my evening hot chocolate. There are few establishments that offer BOTH really great coffee (always served with a tiny chocolate bar) and really great food, but somehow Aroma has defied the odds and managed this feat. read more

Pretty decent place if you are looking for some quick breakfast that is something a little extra than your normal egg and cheese sandwich. The turkey BLT that I got was good but it could have had a little more flavor. One thing I really appreciated was that they had turkey bacon as opposed to normal bacon. The avocado sandwich was pretty one note. It could have had some more flavor. We also asked for our sandwiches toasted but we instead got bread that had a super hard/toasted crust (which was sort of hard to eat) and the center of the bread wasn't really toasted. They are pretty busy in the morning so I would get there early. Note: they also serve their lunch sandwiches for breakfast too! read more

This is a busy espresso bar/bakery in the heart of the city. It's pretty spacious but it does get very busy. I The coffee is pretty good but the pastries are what brought me back. They have a great selection of baked goods and are happy to warm them up for you. They also offer breakfast, sandwiches and salads. They offer an Israeli pastry (cheese filled light and flaky - don't remember what it's called) which is very good. Apparently it is one of the things they are known for. read more

I would avoid this place at all costs. The service is terrible, it's filthy, disgusting, the order was wrong and the person ringing us up could barely understand English. Try the place down the street if you need a quick bite or coffee. read more

Aroma always has clean chic locations and intense flavour drinks. Usually I get the Ice Brazilian Hazelnut Latte but it was a really hot day and I decided to get the Ice Lemon Mint slush instead. I really liked the flavours but the texture was a bit off from the bad timing. I hope this location keeps a better eye on their frozen drinks as mine was sitting on the counter for so long it half melted. Still a really yummy drink though, I will definitely buy it again. read more
