They have a wide variety of specialty donuts. Super delicious! I think the flavors rotate pretty frequently, but when we went it was a lot of fall flavors like pumpkin, maple, and apple.

At 8:00 many trays were already empty, so get there early!

Our first impression was how it gave hole in the wall vibes which we find typical means everything will be out of this world. There was a small line but tons of donuts and tons of preorders set for pick up. When it was finally our turn I was extremely disappointed with the service. The woman behind the counter was a bit short and a bit rude. As it was our first visit we didn't know what flavors they had and which flavors they advertised but didn't currently have as only some donut trays were labeled. I assumed the printed list of flavors was accurate so I figured I'd order from there, I was wrong. I also noticed that at least two of the flavors I had requested were available but were on refill trays so she didn't even look. Honestly it was rather disappointing to drive all that way for subpar service. All of that said we will definitely be back as the donuts were truly OUT OF THIS WORLD! We have had donuts all over New England and these are by far the best. The strawberry cream donuts had real fresh strawberries, the lemon cream was delicate and crazy flavorful, the chocolate glazed was light and fluffy (which is rare for a cake donut), and the blueberry cream was unique and delicious. We will be back but we do hope the service is better. Unfortunately I am a strong believer that the service should be as good as the product or you will lose customers so I hope this was a one time thing!

Perfect place to sit on their outdoor sidewalk tables and admire the early fall.

First time to an Aroma Joe's. We stopped by for coffee and breakfast sandwiches…read more What we got: - Sausage, egg, cheese on a biscuit - Ham, egg, cheese on a croissant - Cold brew The coffee was pretty good, but the breakfast sandwiches were AWFUL. Both sandwiches were prepackaged, frozen food that was microwaved. The sausage on the biscuit was some of the worst I've ever had. The croissant sandwich was thrown into a bag, and the quality was just as low as the biscuit. Both sandwiches were so hot, not in a good way, in the way that they had been microwaved for way too long! If you want to try an Aroma Joe's breakfast, just go to your supermarket, pick up a frozen store-brand breakfast sandwich, and microwave it for 3x longer than the instructions say to. First and last time.

Hubby had the hummus salad (with the beets, which he raved about saying "best beets he's had in years"!) I had the chicken salad and was stunned by how much chicken was in it! For every bite of salad, I had a bite of chicken! Wow! We're impressed and will order from them again (if they use Door Dash), as we're fairly home bound in the winter here. Thanks for making our day! That eclair was the best I have had since I used to make them in high school home ec class (45 years ago)!

Four of us got ice cream (2 scoops in a sugar cone with jimmies, 2 scoops in a cake cone, 2 scoops in a waffle cone with sprinkles and 3 scoops in a bowl) for just over $20! A great price, especially for locally sourced ingredient, homemade ice cream. My 3 scoops, however, didn't seem to be any more volume of ice cream than my friend's who all got 2 scoops. The service was friendly, but a tad slow; it did appear to be a teenager and he was by himself. There was a bench by a fire it as well as picnic tables for seating. Now on to the ice cream itself. We got flavors such as black raspberry Oreo, coffee Oreo, banana chip and cookie dough. All the ice creams were nice and creamy except the banana chip. But, the banana chip tasted like it had real banana pureed in it, which may have caused the textural difference. I was very excited it was real banana and not some fake flavoring. The cookie dough was well liked. My friend said the coffee Oreo was not a strong enough coffee flavor for her, more like coffee milk than coffee itself, but I like it. The black raspberry had good flavor as well. They do make and serve doughnuts as well, though they were not making them when we went.

The swordfish and duck were scrumptious and showed the chef's top-notched skills. OK, it was pricey, but was a superb blend of New England cuisine and high-end chef's creativity. I would say this is the top professional chef restaurant in the area. Worth the price on special occasions for sure. The service was friendly and excellent as well. I would, however, rate the ambiance as average. They did have a fresh flower on the table and a candle; but, they should up the decor maybe with a New England theme, adding some pictures on the bare walls. I would definitely go back!
