Aura Coffee Roasters is a relatively new cafe in Cranford. It is located on the side of the…read moreshopping area I do not always visit but recently I have driven by it many times so I decided to finally stop in. Aura is located in a beautiful building and the interior is very welcoming with several tables with seats in roughly an "L" shape with the counter making up most of the right side (if you are facing the cashier). Seating also includes a nice, comfy leather couch. The place really has a modern and comfortable feel. A rest room is in the back and is always nice and clean. I have been ordering pretty much the same thing every visit. If you've read my reviews for a while you know I love my Dirty Chai so that's what I've been getting to drink and it is good! I would put it at about a notch above the one I get from Starbucks. That's not a knock on it. It's good, but not super sweet and you can definitely taste the espresso shot in it and those are all pluses in my book. For my breakfast I have been getting their turkey bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. There are no surprises here. The sandwich has exactly what its description says. These ingredients all sit in a wonderful Brioche bun that is soft and tasty. Everything is made to order, so expect to wait about ten minutes or so for your sandwich. To me that's not a bad thing! You can take that time to soak in the atmosphere (and of course check on your FYP). I know I'll be back to Aura in the coming weeks so I wholeheartedly endorse it!

So I was walking back from UPS and decided to stop in and grab a bite. Once I walked in, I was hit…read morewith the amazing sense of all the delicious food that was cooking. The atmosphere was welcoming and lively. I was greeted promptly by a friendly young lady at the front and she suggested that I try the beef empanadas. They only cost a few dollars so I went ahead and bought two. So as I walked to the car, which was conveniently parked in the lot behind the restaurant, I immediately unwrapped my empanada. At first, I thought it was going to be like other empanadas that I've tried which have a crispy shell however these empanadas are similar in a way, but are very different in texture. These empanadas are a bit softer on the outside and have a denser inside filling which include potatoes and beef and it was quite delicious. I thought I could eat both of them, but after one I was full. I will definitely be back to the restaurant since I'm always in that area and it's literally five minutes from where I live. I can't wait to try other items on their menu.

Empezamos con unos jugos naturales y mini empanadas que estaban increíbles y fueron la manera perfecta de comenzar la comida. Yo pedí la bandeja paisa y mi esposo el salmón hawaiano, y ambos platos estaban espectaculares. Se nota que preparan la comida con mucho cuidado y buena presentación. De postre pedimos una ensalada de fruta y un chilado, y honestamente fueron el final perfecto para la comida. Todo sabía fresco y auténtico. El ambiance al igual que el service también fue muy agradable y algo que nos gustó mucho es que tienen estacionamiento en la parte de atrás. No es un estacionamiento enorme, pero sí suficiente y hace la visita mucho más cómoda. Definitivamente volveríamos y lo recomendamos si buscan buena comida colombiana.

I actually really appreciated that there were photos of each menu item, because it was hard to choose! I ordered the chicken arepa, which looks small but is mighty. Very flavorful and filling, and I loved the accompanying tomato onion relish (I believe called hogao). I also tried their sugarcane juice with lemon, which was a nice refresher that reminded me of a lightly sweetened lemonade. Overall an affordable and delicious meal. I haven't had much Colombian food before, and would come back to try more.
