Aroma Espresso Bar

The barista was verbally abusive and openly disrespectful and you could tell that it was an uncomfortable experience for all the other staff and customers that were involved. I was really disappointed to see the way the barista was treating the rest of staff. The coffee and the snacks are passable — what is expected from an aroma location, but the customer experience will never exceed the employee experience.

Service is unbelievably slow. I ordered a sandwich and that took them 30 minutes.
I give them 0 star if I can.

Had soup salad, choc milk with ice drink, Cappuccino, everything was delish!!! Best meal. Never been and would def go back.

Great selection of coffee, espresso and cold beverages. Lots of yummy fancy salads, burek and breakfast. Good ambiance and seating. Each order comes with little chocolate bar.

Went here for a quick bite with a friend of mine. This was a nice location with roomy space. If return here.
Food: 4/​5, I got the new berry tea lemonade and it was quite good.
Service: 2/​5, not much service required since you just have to pay it upfront yourself.
Ambience: 3/​5, Big space and quiet and comfortable seats.
Price: 3/​5, average

I love that Aroma has opened in Vaughan mills as it is a very nice alternative to the food court and starbucks for coffee choices. They have some nice healthy options if you need to grab a bite and aren’t interested in fast food. My friend and I met here for a coffee and I grabbed some yogurt fruit and granola to snack on. It was delicious and so was my Americano. There is ample seating which is nice, and it didn’t even feel like we were in the mall. I will definitely be back.

Thank God I found this place, it’s my new favourite place to go for espresso drinks.
Great price, portion and quality. Love the piece of chocolate that comes with each drink! Wish they would open up more individual shops in north Toronto though!

I have been to so many cafes and espresso bars that I lost count. I’ve had café olé in Buenos Aires, and Espresso Macchiatto in South Beach, Florida. Let’s just say, if I could, I’d hook coffee up in IV form.
But enough about me, let’s talk AROMA!
I’ve visited their promenade mall location the very first time. I thought the décor and color scheme was enticingly chic and welcoming. I noticed they sold ALFAJORES (if you have no idea what these babies are, do yourself a HUGE favor and google). I asked the barista if this was a south american company and why they offered such a rare-​find sweet and she explained that the owners are Israeli and that Argentinian food is quite popular in Israel.(You learn something new every day).
I just had to buy them to enjoy with my coffee and it was incredible! Very similar to how I make them at home (that’s right Unilocalville, I can cook too)
I was over the moon when I realized that Vaughan Mills was going to have the privilege of an AROMA location.
No offense to Vaughan Mills fans but the mall is horrible. We’ll leave that for another review.
Aroma in Vaughan Mills also offers alfajores: but a blind person could put them together better than these guys. (No offense to the blind, but these things were awful) I thought, they look bad, but do they taste bad… almost $ 5 later and YUP, they tasted bad too… so dry. I really do hope people don’t buy them thinking thats what they ought to taste like.
Everything else is nothing short of excellent!
Espresso is fresh and well put together. They know how to make it all… and if you haven’t already… you must TRY THE LONDON FOG! Best. Tea. Ever.
It’s not a tea, its an experience…: earl grey with vanilla and steamed milk. Mmm!
Complimentary iced lemon water and a delectable chocolate with every drink.
Excellence just draws me in to places like this… tell me what you thought?!
ALSO– I’m sorry I only posted pics of my one drink with this review, but I did try more things:
I’ve had various coffees, cookies, etc…
I highly recommend:
The chocolate brownie (its chocolate and its a brownie)
The cinnamon raisin roll– it was AMAZING!
The croissant– cheese and butter– the french get it right every time!
The hot chocolate deluxe with whipped cream

I love the Aroma Coffee!!! The espresso, chocolate chunks, and the home made whipped cream … oh my sooooo yummy! Sooo good. It was pure deliciousness in a cup. No lie.

Probably the best café to study in in this general area… no, definitely is. At least on the weekdays, during the day. On the weekends, forget even trying! This place gets absolutely crammed with families & old people taking a breather from their sluggish promenades around the circuit of the mall.
Anyhow, during the weekdays it is far better to sit in here than in the Starbucks outside the mall, which is always slammed with ginos and ginas, or the starbucks inside the mall (which doesn’t have seating… huh?). There’s a wide variety of seating to choose from, benches, high tables, circular tables with comfy-​looking swivel-​armchair-​type-​things, or booths, which are personally my favourite. The only thing is, I’m not sure there are many power outlets in this café, in fact there may not be any whatsoever, but you’ll have to double-​check that… I think this café was opened mainly as a luncheon place for shoppers, and not as a sit-​and-​read spot. There is also much seating outside, with little tables.
You have access either to aroma’s wi-​fi, or to the central Vaughan Mills wi-​fi, both of which work well.
I haven’t tried the food at this particular Aroma, but from my experience with other Aromas, and from judging the amount of satisfaction reflected on others’ faces as they consume the food, I presume it is quite tasty and fresh.
The coffee is great! The drip coffee is superb and dished out in generous sizes. The cappuccinos/​lattes are also fairly decent, as good as one is going to get from a coffee chain. Quite superior to those brewed by Starbucks, Second Cup, Tim Hortons, etc etc.
But actually my favourite thing is the machine by the door with the different smiley faces/​frowning faces on it that you push on to determine your level of satisfaction.

I love that Aroma Espresso Bar opens up a location in Vaughan Mills. And I usually prefers Aroma espresso drinks over Starbucks instead especially withe the complimentary piece of chocolate.
The Single Shot Macchiato was OK and so is that chocolate. There is also extra seating right outside the shop if the inside get crowded.
Maybe just the lack of enthusiastic vibe of the staff just gave me a so so impression? Maybe they should be drinking more a shot or 2 before each shift might have help?
Probably will be back as there are not too many option inside Vaughan Mills for a coffee break.

Came here on a weekday for lunch so it was not too busy. This Aroma opened in the newly constructed section in Vaughan Mills. There are plenty of seats and shop is kept pretty neat.
Service was great and order was made fairly quickly. I wasn’t too hungry so I had the small coffee and croissant special for around $ 5. If you get the small latte/​cappuccino with croissant deal, that’s around $ 7. As with all Aroma drinks, they come with a small piece of chocolate which is a nice touch. Would come back here as the food court in the mall is always very crowded.
