Aroma Espresso Bar

The coffee shop is close to the hectic Walmart superstore which makes it an attractive spot to shy away from the crazy lineups for a coffee and food break. Plus, Aroma Espresso Bar was one of the few places to eat on the west side of the mall.  Great planning Aroma!

LOCATION: I love the location of the Aroma Espresso Bar in Markville since there are few eateries on the West side of the mall aside from Pickle Barrel and I am often too lazy to walk to the food court located on the opposite end of the mall. Plus, being close to the busy Walmart is totally awesome; I can find a quiet place to eat and have some coffee. COFFEE REVIEW: After several visits, I can say that I am a fan of Aroma Markville. Their coffee prices are comparable or a tad more than Starbucks but they have a great selection and make good coffee. I love their iced Americano, even in the winter... It also comes with a small Aroma chocolate. Another stand out about Aroma is that they are a coffee shop that ALSO serves good food with a variety of sandwiches with fresh baked bread, all-day breakfast and baked goods. My FAVOURITE FOOD ITEM so far is their steak sandwich. Aroma's got it spot on with slices of well seasoned beef, onions and red peppers. Even though the bread (I normally get multigrain) is not toasted, it holds the sandwich well. The sandwiches are normally sold as a half sandwich, but the whole sandwich is about $11 (before tax). It is worth it for a good quality sandwich. FOR BREAKFAST, I would recommend the Middle Eastern dish Shakshuka if you wanted something other than your typical eggs and toast, or sandwiches. The dish consists of 2 sunny-side up eggs on top of a rich tomato and pepper sauce served with tahini and fresh baked bread. The tomato sauce was a bit sweet for my taste buds, but very filling for less than $10.There's no doubt that I will be back with my family. If you have a baby, they have high chairs hidden in the back that can be requested. I don't recall a change table in the bathroom, so that would be my suggestion for them.

I really love their latte art. Especially wanna compliment a staff called Anne. She is very nice and polite and she can do nice latte art. The one in the first picture made by her. The second one i like it so much too, forgot the staff name. But the one in the third picture(july10,4pm ) is a bit disappoint me, the girl Aeris(not sure if i spell wrong), she just pour the milk in it so random and without the latte art. I guess she doesn’t know I come to this coffee shop almost everyday. A cup of latte with nice art on it made my day. But the cup of latte that i got today made me a bit upset.

You will not be disappointed. I had a soup and sandwich. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. My favourite drink is the London Fog, the make it with loose leaf earl gray. The chap at the counter was pleasant and the cook came out of the back to apologize for the wait (it wasn’t that long and they were pretty busy with deliveries). From the desert menu, try the Alfajores, they are delicious.

Love Aromas coffee!! Had a great experience at this location, when I got to this location, I sat on the patio to wait for it to open, manager Ali came out and acknowledged me. Great service! Yummy Food and peaceful atmosphere with inspiring music. Wonderful way to start my day!
