Such excellent vegetarian food and green juice. The atmosphere is great and they have a beautiful Buddha to greet you I have the tofu tacos and green juice. Service was also amazing and the restaurant even has a library full of books

We wanted to try out this place with a lot of vegan/vegetarian options on our vacation in Isla Mujeres. We came for dinner and the feel is like one of those spiritually inspired vegan places with a Buddha -- you know what I'm talking about. Their motto is they provide healthy food. I was really disappointed in the food we had in Mexico (how come I didn't get one flavorful guacamole?). And this restaurant also had the bare minimum in flavors, textures, etc. The only thing I really liked was the fries on the side lol and the vegan cheese bc it was pretty impressive. I wish I liked the quality of their food at this place more, but appreciate their concept, the wait staff, and the interior. I think coming here for breakfast/lunch would be better with their smoothie bowls, beverages, etc.

We were looking for a place to get some lunch while at isla mujeres. This place is a 3-4 min walk from the main ferry terminal, easy to find. It's a cute cafe with trendy decor and ample seating. We enjoyed the fresh juices- the harmony was my favorite. We tried Vietnamese rolls and they were ok.. not a lot of flavor and served with soy sauce. They would do better with a house made peanut sauce or something similar. My husband got the ramen and he said it was decent, 3/5. I got the Chana vegetable dish which was a huge disappointment. The flavor was odd, the veggies were fresh. I wish it actually had Chana aka garbanzo beans in it. We opted for the chocolate lava cake and it was yummy. Overall a decent spot to get fresh/healthy food in Isla mujeres where most places don't have vegetarian friendly options.

Excellent stop for light healthy breakfast! Service was very friendly. Ambiance is wonderful.

Great Vegan/healthy restaurant! Did a day trip to Isla Mujeres and came across this gem. Arrived early, so the staff was kind enough to let me sit and order drinks while I wait for lunch menu to begin. Such a great outdoor seating close to the main road. A lot of fresh air comes in and they also have fans around. Great ambiance.

Great food, great coffee, great service! Was a great place to go during the rain storm. Recommend!

Otra decepción debido a los reviews. Yo vi muy buenos reviews y ahí voy de borrego a probar. Sabor totalmente para el turista extranjero. Pedí unas enchiladas de papa. Peor que comida de hospital. Nada de sabor, en ves de te dejé un sabor agradable es más bien desagradable. Mi esposo pidió el Mollete vegano y le hizo daño. El jugo, súper rebajado con agua. No hay nada más desagradable que pagar por comida mala. Servio ordinario. Ni bueno ni malo.

Great ambiance and vibe. We had mango smoothies which were terrific. Croissant was good. Large menu of very international healthy options. Always crowded early in the day, more low key at night. They also have a book exchange with many books, though not many in English. Not especially fast but there is a sign thanking you for your patience. They accept credit cards. As a PS: Other places we found with old school book exchanges or books available to read while patronizing include: Selina, Antal, Nu Balan, Nomads in Isla. The Elements in Playa. Mayan Monkey or Natura in Cancun.

Beautiful presentation, DELICIOUS FOOD and Great Service. My family has been fortunate enough to visit Isla on roughly a yearly basis (BC - Before Covid). Fortunately, this week, we've had the opportunity to return. This review represents both a Brunch (technically they were still serving their breakfast menu) and a Dinner. Both meals were excellent!!! We had 6 people and the server was the same for both meals. She was very good at her job and she made us all feel welcome. We'll be back!

After eating not so great on my vacation so far, I stumbled on this gem. This place is so good. The service was great. It stands out to me on the island as a place where you can get some really fresh vegetables and healthy food. It's good to add in there between all of the tacos y churros. I landed on the quinoa power bowl. I was expecting healthy, but not very tasty...and I was wrong. It was so good. Instead of having to force down broccoli or spinach, I was gladly pounding it. Moms everywhere should be thanking Aroma for helping their kids eat more veggies. It was so good. The flavors were like a symphony playing off of each other perfectly. I left nothing in my bowl. I don't remember which drink I had - carrot and orange maybe - but this too was delicious! Amazing food! Great flavors! Beautiful atmosphere! Well priced! Aroma...5 stars.

We had a nice breakfast here, enjoying a quieter main strip in the morning compared to the night time. They have a vast menu, and as we found with most restaurants in the area, the portions are ample and we opted to share. We had the portobello hummus wrap and the small fruit bowl. Alas, I failed to snap a pic before we dug into it. The wrap was served with a side of ok potatoes. I enjoyed my cappuccino along with the Harmony juice, a blend of carrot, orange and pineapple. It was refreshing and delicious! It was a great, light way to start our day of relaxing on the beach. Service was good. All staff are working hard to meet the demands of the busy breakfast crowd.

Mmm this was my favorite restaurant for breakfast this past week. I even had to get a tshirt from them. The avocado toast with a fried egg is divine. Great coffee!

I am so happy I found this place to eat!!! Vegan friendly !!!! The service was great! The ambiance is amazing! The juices were really good! I had tres mosquiteros and my friend has the green one he said it was ok... My salmons was really good it came with a sweet mango pure sauce, and the pad Thai was ok, if your from Los Angeles this pad Thai is not going to taste like back home, it's kinda really sweet, it's good it's just not the same flavors as real pad Thai. But the waiter did tell me they have a chicken dish that's really really good, we didn't have time to try it. Overall it was a good experience!! JOSE was our waiter ! He was really nice and friendly. read more

I go here for breakfast often during every Isla Mujeres vacation stay I've taken. The food presentation is a nice touch for simple, clean dishes. I'm a big fan of their hot sauce. Their fresh juices are very tasty and easy to drink; great for a refreshing start to the day. The yoga vibes are chill and relaxing, appropriate for an easy morning. Bonus they accept credit cards. read more

We stumbled on Aroma Isla our 1st night on the island and loved it! It was refreshing to have a diverse range of healthy options, with salads and Asian dishes like Pad Thai and coconut curry. Our server, Eduardo was fantastic and so helpful in steering us toward the tastiest items on the menu. We will definitely come back a few times while we're here! read more

Seating: 5/5 We were seated almost immediately. Beverage: 4.5/5 The banana mango smoothie was extraordinary! I had to stop myself from drinking it to make room for the food! One complaint was that the smoothie was mostly banana. I would have wanted a better mix. Food: 3/5 I ordered the classic hamburger with french fries. The fries were phenomenal! The burger on the other hand, had a little too much black pepper on it, I couldn't finish it. Service: 5/5 The service was excellent, no complaints! Overall: 4.4 This restaurant is a great choice for anyone in the north part of Isla Mujeres. It is very touristy in this area with many good restaurants but I have to say, this was one of the best! read more

We had good breakfast bowls and toast. The coffee was great. But when we returned for dinner we were all disappointed with our food. The vegan and non vegan food was bland and not even warm! I would not recommend this place at all for lunch or dinner. We had excellent vegan Mexican food in DF - it's possible! But even the meat dishes were a disappointment. On top of that it is expensive and they expect a tip based on the overpriced food. read more
The food was delicious and affordable! The margaritas are also very yummy and strong. Heard about this place on YouTube and it's defiantly a must if you visit Isla Mujeres! You won't be disappointed! read more

We came and ate: a smoothie, a veggie burger, the BEST falafel, and a brownie. All the food was so tasty and fresh. We loved everything and sitting on the raised platform was so pleasant. Love all their vegan options and they are clearly labeled. Hemi was our waiter and he is AWESOME! :-) read more

If you are looking for something healthy, good Zen atmosphere this is a great option. We went here during our first stay in Isla and were greeted warmly right away. Went with the Veggie Pad Thai and wow heaven in your mouth, we ate it again the next day. We also tried the mushroom Banh mi with sweet potato fries, nice alternative on the Vietnamese sandwich. the Power Quinoa Bowl was excellent as well. They offer many juice and meat options as well, and gratis WiFi. the service was amazing despite being so busy. read more

Dear Owner - you blew us away! Pictures don't do your dishes justice! We dined at your venue so much, we lost count. Service was ridiculous! Mean that in the best way! Food was amazingly delicious! We wanted a long sleeve but y'all ran out. We visit #islamujeres every January and we realized y'all were new since January 2017 :) we highly recommend this venue to anyone we know visiting! Muchos gracias!!!!! read more

We had a lite dinner here last night. Carla was our server who was thoughtful and patient. We ordered the hummus with Portabella mushrooms, which tasted so fresh. We then shared the tuna crusted steak. So good! That was actually plenty for us followed by desert- carrot cake. Really good. This place caters to and international crowd; Europeans, Israeli, Middle Eastern, and Americans for sure. Wish I took pictures but pics wouldn't have captured the flavors! This was the most honest place! When I left $70 American and my room key on the table, clearly not a tip because I tipped well on the credit card tab, our server had it and when she saw that we returned she immediately handed us the whole thing and refused to take a tip. Wow! There was so much we wanted to try. We would recommend this place! We'll be back. read more

We are vegetarian so this looked appealing as there are many options. But we should have kept walking. Four stars for the kind server and nice street side seating. Food gets a 1 or 2. This is the kind of place to come for a salad and smoothie - something that doesn't involve a chef. Don't eat hot dishes here. Falafel was miserable. Samosas were still cold on the inside (fried from frozen?) Mexican food is flavorless. Though they will give a tasty habanero sauce if you ask. Everyone gets a complimentary chlorophyll shot after your meal. Hippy vibe. Note- the manager did comp us on the cold samosas. They DO try, it's just that the food isn't very good. read more

Aroma Isla ended up being our favorite breakfast & coffee spot. The food and coffee are delicious, including the vegan and vegetarian options which were perfect for me. José is also an amazing server and friendly face to remember. Love him and the restaurant! It's a must visit! read more

I'm not a vegetarian or anything like that but do like quality ingredients. First I highly recommend their juices they are light and very refreshing way to start. I had both with breakfast and dinner. We had the "healthy" omelet and burrito for breakfast and both came with small potatoes which were yummy. Good coffee always helps too. So we had to go back for dinner sat inside because it was bad weather but we had Axel as our server and he was wonderful, very genuine and made us feel at home. I ordered what he recommend, a mole with cantaloupe and my mom got the veggie burger. Again it seemed less touristy and more local even when it was filled with tourist. I'm sure we are going again before we leave the island and you should too! read more

Beautiful little spot in the middle of a touristy strip on La Isla Mujeres! Very beautiful presentation, wonderful open windows to sit against to enjoy the beautiful weather of Cancun. Shout out to Carlos for taking care of us in such a rush! Try the grilled watermelon! read more

My family and I came here for lunch and it was a great experience. Their fresh juices and smoothies are wonderful. Their dishes are big and tasty. I had the Chicken Pad Thai and we all agreed it was the best thing we ordered. One of the best pad thais I've had, and I live in Cali! The staff was very friendly. The only complaint (four stars instead of five) is that they are very understaffed so service was quite slow. In the end, I felt it was worth the wait. read more

My wife was very anxious to eat here so we went for dinner. We sat down outside in a small table for two. The place was not busy but also not empty. Three waitresses clearly saw us waiting.. and we were NEVER served. Not even offered the menu. Another couple sat next to us, and no one approached them either. The waitress was waiting on other table outside like 10 ft from us. We spend there 10-15 minutes and no one came. We left, so did the other couple. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I've ever had. We went to another place, since theres a lot of places to eat where the staff is actually good. read more

Probably our favorite breakfast spot on the Island. So many fresh juices to choose from to instantly improve your headache from late night partying :). Food is great - breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Chill coffeehouse vibe on the strip next to other restaurants and stores. Free Wi-Fi! read more

Don't let the "health" fool you. This little restaurant was a great stop for our party of 8 (not always easy to accommodate a large group). The food was delicious, coffee on pint, and the service was incredible. We really enjoyed our stop at this quaint, little restaurant near the end of Hidalgo near the church. read more

Aroma Isla is a must stop if you're looking for healthy options on Isla Mujeres. My friends and I came back to Aroma Isla multiple times on our trip to the island. They have a delicious variety of food choices for any meal. I would highly recommend the eggs Benedict and the vegan brownie and vegan coconut Ice cream. The atmosphere in the restaurant makes it even better! The music and decorations as well as the hospitality made every visit there worth while. Jose was our waiter and he made our experience at Aroma Isla even better. I would highly recommend Aroma Isla! read more

Very delicious food just a short walk from the beach. As an aspiring vegetarian I was so happy to find a quinoa veggie bowl and falafels. My travel companion had a chicken dish that he said was also very good with lots of flavor. We will be back. Very friendly waiters as well. 10 stars read more

The fresh squeezed juices were really refreshing but the fajitas and tacos weren't anything to write home about, about average quality vs. what you would find back in the US. Wait staff spoke solid English so they get some points there. read more

This is one of the best restaurants for breakfast on Isla Mujeres. (open for lunch and dinner, but we only did breakfast). The Carrot cake is unbelievably good as well as the fresh chocolate croissants. Best Chiliquilles on the island. Reasonably priced and large portions. read more

One of our best restaurant experiences on the island!! Cute, healthy food right on the main restaurant strip! We had a really pleasant breakfast there and ordered the smoothie bowls. What really made the restaurant, however, was not the delicious, healthy food--it was the PHENOMENAL service. Our waiter, Jose, was friendly, kind, and conversational. He helped us practice our Spanish, took our picture, and told us a bit about his life and (impressive!!) love for learning languages. His sincerity and kindness made our simple breakfast stop unforgettable. We will be back!! read more

I have eaten here every day on Isla simply because the food is amazing. It's fresh, healthy, and you can tell they put their time into it. Great service and an incredibly friendly staff. I couldn't ask for more! So much love for this place. Thank you Aroma Isla! read more

Menu is so so. It reads better than it tastes. Juices are delicious, although they are not technically straight up juices. More like they used their vitamix and them watered down the juice some. But, still best food/drink on the menu. They advertise vegan options and vegetarian, but it's hard to find something gluten free and vegan, and staff will NOT modify a menu option to meet your needs. Tuna steak is made for two, so prepare to share or take home left overs. Very good. Guacamole is also good, but portion is too large even for two people. This Appetizer is truly made for 4, so prepare to share. Avocado sushi is made up only of carbohydrates. Avocado is meager in the dish. It is also served without wasabi or ginger, and I'm pretty sure they did used sushi rice. Vegan brownie is more like out of the box chocolate Not great . Tika Masala Fish was mostly fried fish skin. Very fatty. The veggies however were good. They were grilled. Very yummy. Quinoa bowl was my best option. Service is good, but not worth coming back to. They are trying to cater to the Yoga community and health conscious folk, but read more

We had an amazing breakfast while here, decided later to do dinner. We had been in Isla for 8 days at this time and the food at the other places were not doing so well in our bodies. After eating here we felt so much better with their healthy foods and juices. We left feeling so relaxed and and not weighed down. Hands down, one of my favorites. read more
