I used to frequent Aroma all the time when I lived in Toronto - the food was always so yummy, with an amazing and unique blend of flavors. I moved to Oakville a couple of years ago and was truly disappointed when I learned we didn't have an Aroma. I was absolutely thrilled when this location opened! Not only is the food tasty and healthy as always, but the staff is so kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere is super cozy. I would highly recommend this establishment if you're tied of the routine Starbucks and Tims, or looking to try something different.

FOOD:
I had ordered the Small Hot Chocolate (With Dark Chocolate) and the Greek Yogurt Danish, while my husband had ordered the Medium Cappuccino. The Small Hot Chocolate came in a white mug, which had a thin layer of milk and chocolate powder sprinkled on the top. I was told that I needed to stir it since I noticed that all of the chocolate was on the bottom of the cup. Once I had stirred it, it tasted DELICIOUS, one of the best hot chocolates that I had ever tasted! It didn't need any additional sugar as it had just the perfect amount of sweetness to it. The Greek Yogurt Danish was warmed-up (which was something I didn't expect, but was pleased to see), with a fresh taste. The pastry was flaky however, not too flaky to cause it to crumble in your mouth. Also, the cherry and yogurt filling was divine, just the perfect mix of flavourings in one handy pastry. I LOVED it, and had never tasted a danish that delicious before!

ATMOSPHERE:
We had come during the Oakville Jazz Festival therefore, it was very busy, with people walking-in constantly and waiting for their drinks at the cash. We decided to sit upstairs as it wasn't too crowded, which was a good choice as we were able to see the street below, which made for a nice view! We loved the décor, it was chic, yet comfortable. It was a small place, but felt cozy enough to stay for quite a while. Definitely more appeasing then some other coffee shops!

SERVICE:
Juliana had taken our orders, and was very kind. When we had asked to switch my husband's Medium Cappuccino to 'to go' as opposed to 'dine-in' (after we had ordered), she immediately went to tell those making the drinks about the change, then told us that the change would take place (she was very quick and precise about it, which we liked). The three individuals making the drinks behind the counter were quick, and worked VERY well with all of the customers waiting. They even told us that it would be a bit of a wait, which was quite considerate of them as that doesn't always happen at other establishments. We found the service to be exceptional, even though they were VERY busy during the time that we had gone in.

COST: 1 Small Hot Chocolate: $4.05 + 1 Medium Cappuccino: $4.05 + 1 Greek Yogurt Danish: $2.95 = $12.50 (Taxes Included)

WOULD YOU RETURN?
I found that the prices were a bit high for what we had ordered however, I did enjoy my time therefore, I would definitely give this place another try!
