Aroma Espresso Bar

Dont go to this location if you want a proper iced cappucino. The service was slow and guy seemed like he couldnt care less. The manager needs to do a much better job at hiring people.

On a good day, it’s a five star. Last visit got it two stars as two of three sandwiches were prepared wrong. They have to get their act together.

Not your usual standard. Ordered the all day power breakfast. Salad was old and soggy. Rest of the food was good. They did make a fresh salad but why try and sell yesterday’s salad today?

Great location bright and cheery. Friendly staff make you feel at home and of course great selection of healthy food options. Their bread is sooo delish! If you’re looking for a good place to meet friends for a quick meal or coffee, this location is awesome.

Have been frequenting this location for a couple of years. And as of late, it has become my ‘go to’ place when meeting up with a friend who lives in Thorncliffe.
The coffee here is consistently good; I’m boring so I order a large brewed coffee to stay each time. It’s not too light, but not too strong as well; I like their really big bowls that they use as well. I can’t comment on the food, but it’s your usual Aroma Espresso Bar items. My sister tells me that their sandwiches are pretty tasty and a friend swears by their salads.
Anyway, there are a couple of perks to this location as opposed to their other shops. It’s always clean here, including the washrooms and seating area. Service here is excellent; staff are really pleasant and ask me each time how my regular brewed coffee was. They’re also super quick at clearing tables for the next customers or even clearing your mugs/​plates at your table. There’s a lot of seating here and it’s never so crowded that you have to stand around and wait until a table opens. Another point is the parking (albeit not directly related to Aroma). There’s a lot of parking and you’re close to Longo’s and the Beer Store so you can easily kill 2, 3 birds with one stone.
Good for: coffee, dates, hanging out with friend (s)

This Aroma location is by far the best one I’ve ever been to. I’ve tried others and will continue to frequent this location. The owners and staff are super friendly and they treat you as though you are family. It is not often you come by this in a franchise restaurant.
The food is always fresh and well presented and you can tell it’s made with care and «love». It really shows that this location puts true effort and passion into everything they prepare for their customers.
I have yet to see this place look unkempt. It is always very clean and inviting looking and the energy here is always pleasant.
I really enjoy everything about Aroma at Leaside.

Tried to order the granola and yougurt without the usual fruit but got a ton of attitude and a cup just half full.
Usually service is accommodating, not this location.
Otherwise, good basic standard fare.

Review for Laird Location :)
FRESH, CLEAN, SUPER FRIENDLY
The food is always fresh, and filling. I usually get the warm chicken salad from Aroma, but I wanted to try something new. I got the Mozzarella salad and I was so glad I did nice chunks of mozzarella, fresh arugula and crunchy croutons. My husband got the chopped salad and he devoured it and refused to share lol. Both of us got the steak sandwich, nice chunks of steak, red pepper and oozing cheese.
The bathroom are spotless, always clean and well maintained, the first time I went there I walked right to the bathroom, because I really believe if a restaurants bathroom is clean then the kitchen and seating area is clean as well. When I walked in it was sparkling and has been kept that way ever since.
The tables are also always immediately cleaned and organized for the next customer.
Lastly, their customer service is excellent. Always friendly and welcoming, I came with a few friends once who had never been to an Aroma so they were not familiar with the menu. The grayish haired lady and the man working at the cash explained the menu the special that they had at the time (ORCHID LATTE !! YUM YUM YUM!!!), the soup special and a variety of the sandwiches, both very pleasant. She even came by our table to make sure we didn’t need anything, I loved it.
By far my favourite Aroma!
Can’t wait for this winter to be over to have my coffee on the patio :):)
