Stopped in for a quick bite to eat, which was 1/2 egg salad sandwich on gluten free bread, the best egg salad by far 😋 served along with one of my favorite coffees. Love the little chocolate they give on the side 🫠 Staff were very busy as it was around noon and there was a line up at the counter. Usually is a very busy place .
My family and I took a trip to Niagara last night and decided to stop at this mall and we spoted Aroma for some coffee and food. We were served by a new employee, Preston, who had a training sticker on. I ordered slowly to make things easier for him, but he quickly picked up on everything we wanted and handled the order efficiently. The food and drinks were amazing, We’ll definitely be back!
Aroma is one of those unique cafes which tries to embody the full European cafe experience. And, while this can be difficult in a non-European location, they do a pretty good job!! On the day that my guests and I visited this location, a bus of tourists from Spain made sure they stopped and enjoyed a cup of their favourite beverage. The food offerings are fresh and tasty. And, the staff are friendly, despite the language barriers they were working through with the visiting Spaniards. It is for this reason that we usually make the effort to stop from our shopping experience and enjoy the atmosphere of this location. Keep up the great work!!
I often order the chicken avocado sandwich, but this time was quite disappointing. The bread wasn’t toasted, and there was very little filling in the sandwich. To make matters worse, I found a hair inside it. It seemed like the person who prepared it was in a rush and didn’t bother to toast the bread properly. My previous experiences had been good, but this one was the worst. After discovering the hair, I threw the food away. It feels like the employees don't follow proper protocols when preparing food. Additionally, the taste was off, as if old ingredients were used. Overall, I had a poor experience.
Emma & Emily greeted us with big their smiles and professionally service. The Matcha Latte & Hazelnut Latte were delicious!
Fantastic place to visit! The mocha was delicious, and was the perfect temperature. It was also a larger size than I thought it would be. The food was great. The only negative thing was I did wish it was a bigger croissant. But the amount of meat inside made up for it. The service was great. They were patient, helpful and quick.
My wife ordered a classic breakfast with eggs over hard. When they called our name half of the food was not on the plate, and the eggs were hard boiled. We brought it back to ask where the rest was and question to make sure it was correct. The young man working behind the counter said “that’s what you ordered, that’s the classic breakfast”. His coworker quickly corrected him and the bread came out shortly after that. They did not change the eggs to what we actually ordered and continued on working. My wife went up later on to ask for a takeout container for the rest of the food and the same young man asked “why? What kind of food do you have?” Bread and eggs, then was told, here’s a paper take out bag with no container. She asked again for a container and with a frustrated sigh the young man rudely asked the kitchen staff for a container and roughly placed it on the counter with a very sarcastic “thank you, bye”. We usually never complain but this was an oddly rude experience that they weren’t willing to do much about. We’ll unfortunately not be back. If you go here make sure you clarify your order and are very specific or else you’ll be stuck with something you have to take home and remake. On the plus side the ice lemon mint drink was lovely!
Pablo and Daren were amazing, excelent service and the coffee very well prepared. People like them make a huge difference in a business
Excellent hot chocolate. My favorite
The best coffee in North America. The great fresh food and the super service are just another bonus . Vegetarian options: Most of the menu is vegetarian vegetables, eggs and cheese
Got my coffee as I like it
Great cl
We had a lovely lunch- great food, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. I want to especially comment about our interaction with Hozan, who rushed over to clean our table as it was busy in the restaurant. She was very eager to make sure we had everything we needed. Rushed to get us waters, and kept checking back to clear dishes and see if we needed anything. She was very busy, and we noticed she took a moment to get a dog bowl and water for a customer. Want to just recognize her efforts, friendliness and eagerness to make our experience the best it could be. If I had a business, I would for sure want to have her working for me- hope she can be recognized for EXCELLENT customer service. 5 Star Plus- Bravo- to Hozan- a very proud new Canadian!!So glad we got to meet her
The croissant sandwich is to die for! Maria was a fantastic host, can t wait to come back.
Husan was kind, friendly, and attentive. Plus the food was amazing
Best place for meeting
I loved my coffee! The spot is adorable! Id definitely go back :) Staff could be a little more friendly tho to make it more welcoming
Excellent flat white!!
I recently visited the cafe and while the food and ambiance were excellent, the customer service left much to be desired. The staff appeared unfriendly and seemed upset, with no smiles or warmth, which made the experience less enjoyable. It felt as though they were irritated, and that dampened the otherwise pleasant visit. If the team could work on improving their attitude and approach toward customers, it would significantly enhance the overall experience, especially given the high foot traffic in the mall.
A cool place, but there is a lot of queue. Delayed service.
Really delicious
Service and the meal from Colby & Daren was very good. Thanks for that.
I have never written a review in my life, however, Aroma is fantastic. Friends and I ordered and not one of us received a bad item. Beyond awesome and our new spot!
Never left a review in my life, I got a crosssiant sandwich with smoked salmon and onion ect. SPECTACULAR GIVE ME 14 OF EM RIGHT NOW. 10/10 we ve found our new spot. Aroma, you have 3 New regulars
i ve never ever written a review before. however i felt like i had to with how yum our food is. my coworkers ordered it and my life it now changed. i am not being dramatic on saying i would ask for this vanilla matcha to be in my final meal. TYSM WE YOU
Quick and easy service.
Very delicious coffee
Keira was a great server!!! Very friendly!
Everything awesome.
So-so coffee!
There were near closing time. Attention was not what we normally had other times we visited
Very good chocolate.
For those who dont know, this is an Israeli cafe, the breads are baked on site and the food is delicious and fresh, I recommend the house coffee called Aroma Coffee the most, you can also add alcohol to the drinks, I took iced coffee and added Baileys and it was really, really tasty only if you add alcohol, it comes in a glass cup And you cant leave the cafe area with her, which is really responsible and beautiful, in short a very recommended place
Lovely atmosphere.
Very tasty food and very kind service ! Daren served our food and he was polite and sweet :) I recommend !! Vegetarian options: Variety of options
Aroma is always a good choice if you want to enjoy a good quality coffe or variety of tea. My favourite is Ice coffe hazelnut.
Nice and friendly
Daren, Pablo & Gracie are top notch at their work, they made this experience memorable
They remember my order every time and guy there is very nice. Love this spot
Very cosy, clean and good food. Daren, Teresa & Lexi were very courteous and accommodating. Well definitely come back
Great food and exceptional service from Pablo. I can t express how welcomed and taken care of he made us feel during our visit. There were no fries at the moment we ordered, however he very kindly offered us alternative sides and made suggestions he thought we would enjoy. I appreciate the wonderful customer service he had, I definitely look forward to visiting again.
I need to celebrate two fabulous members of your staff one s name is Pablo and the other one is Darren, I went last night to get a salad in the Taylor Road location and these two were exceptionally friendly and really gracious, especially at the end of an evening shift, Thank you for making my experience wonderful Parking: It s in a mall there s a huge amount of parking Wheelchair accessibility: It s very easy to get there there s no stairs
Excellent service!!!
I am on vacation and this place was a beautiful experience, Daren, Lexi and Mikayla were attentive at all times, they made the language barrier not an impediment to enjoying a delicious breakfast. Widely recommended
Really good food that doesnt make you feel bad after!
Very good and healthy food; Daren was very kind and upon noticing my difficulty expressing myself in English, he assisted me in Spanish and always with a smile. Thank you!!!! Vegetarian options: mediterranean croissant
Daren was very nice. We arrived with family visiting us from El Salvador and he was very patient while taking the order, always with a big smile.
Daren was very helpful, recommended great food options and even talked to my dad in Spanish that was very sweet. Thank you
Daren had 10/10 service and the waiting time wasnt that long. Very kind and friendly.
Ordered hazelnut lattes just now. Customer service from Daren was really good. Everytime they serve food/beverage, they greet the customer one more time. Colby and Pablo were also charming. Ps. Daren, keep up your vibrant energy!
The attention of the Daren, Pablo and Mikayla team is magnificent, congratulations!!!! Vegetarian options: Soups
Great atmosphere and the service was really good and great guys, all three of them Pablo, Doney and Mikayla

Very good coffee with high quality. Customer requests are addressed immediately and even when it is full, things are well structured
Lovely coffee
Excellent service from Pablo
Great coffee and excellent service from Daren! I ll definitely be coming back.
I ordered 2 americano coffees and an espresso. Asked for Splenda and was told they didnt have any. No one even made an effort to check if there was any in the back. Coffee was terrible, I threw it out in the stor. One staff member was walking around behind the counter doing absolutely nothing. Never again will I come back.
Gracie, Theresea, Jared and Jose were amazing!!!! Great Service and good food.
Helpful and kind staff
Surrounded by wide roads loud traffic. Unpleasant
Pablo and Gracie were the best! Will be back!
Cant speak highly enough of Aroma. Came for the coffee and wasnt disappointed but I fell in love with the Sandwiches and Pastries...
great coffee and sandwiches again!
Darren was very helpful and provided kind and thoughtful service!
Always get my coffee here, great service and awesome workers! Special thanks to Daren for helping out with my order and sorting it all out while being super nice and understanding))
I was very well looked after by Pablo. Excellent place and service
It was a nice place and excellent service.
The best coffee in Canada and chocolate!!! Loved thanks Pablo y Emma. The best
The food was great and Pablo was really helpful!!!
Excellent service from Pablo and Emma
Good attention. Gorgeous
Very delicious food and excellent service
We went to the oulet by chance and had a coffee by chance and it was the best thing about the oulet. We asked if we could make avocado sandwiches (in our bad English) and Pablo realized that we were Spanish and took great care of us. In addition to giving us a taste of a delicious sweet that we ended up buying more of. Highly recommended!!! I dont put reviews, I dont like it but in this case yes, because he was very very kind!!!
Perfect place for a quick recharge Pablo and Daren were very helpful in choosing one of their different desserts to go with the amazing coffee Very talented baristas! Food : 5/5
Very good coffee and side dishes Spacious and pleasant environment. The Service depends on the attendant of the day. I visited three times. Wheelchair accessibility: Great accessibility.
When you need a stop between Toronto and Niagara Falls or Niagra on the lake, this is the stop to make. The coffee is always outstanding and the food is great. The location is in the heart of the outlets. I always stop at this location with my international guests on our way to the Niagara Region. Its always a hit.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals and we re served/ attended to by Daren and Rosie, both were very accommodating and allowed us to have a very good experience for our first time being there. The food was plated and taken care of so nicely and we were able to enjoy the time we spent having conversations over coffee and food. Kid-friendliness: We went with my little cousins and brother and they had no problem with them all just enjoying themselves and giggling throughout our time there even if they got kind of loud. It was not only an enjoyable experience for the adults, but for the kids as well.
Pablo attended us at Aroma at the Whiteoaks outlets. He has been charm and very patient with my in-laws who do not speak English, he is a great professional. thank you so much
Pablo, very kind
My experience at the restaurant was exceptional, the place is clean and well organized. We were greeted and served by Pablo, he provided me and my family excellent menu guidance. Pablo did our day!!! We appreciate the help since we didn t knew the menu. We highly recommend visiting aroma cafe at Niagara.
My wife and I were enjoying our lunch and realized our order had got mixed up by mistake Pablo was an absolute gem and was able to correct our order and make sure that we were taken care of. Definitely coming back ! Food
Ok
Their coffee & service is always extraordinary !
First time visiting an Aroma Espresso Bar. The place was pretty busy, and the line was fairly long, probably because I visited on a weekend. Based on todays visit, the service was okay, I only ordered an ice coffee , so I would expect it to be fairly fast? But the wait was pretty long, in my opinion, but again, it was probably due to the long line. Other than that, no were other issues or problems. I would visit again but on a weekday when its a lot more quiet
Unfortunately a bit small to sit there, but otherwise very good
Literally has the best croissant sandwiches I ve ever had
Nice to be able to grab a Corona and sit on a patio on such a nice day, but I was not offered frozen beer glasses!
Service was slower than equivalent cafes in the US but the quality was superior and worth the extra few minutes.
Pablo was amazing. Greeted with a smile, genuine and fast! He made my visit memorable! Thank you Pablo! -Alex
Busy but decent food choices.
My family and I stopped in the cafe to have a treat and a very pleasant you g man served us named Pablo. He just had a rude customer before us, who was upset he had to wait. News flash, if you go to a cafe that is good .Your going to have to wait . Pablo was friendly, knowledgeable and service he and Gracie provided tool maybe 8 -10 minutes. Great job , we will be back.
Great coffee!
Oh my gosh! Such a good food!
Good place. food is nice.
My husband and I love Aroma Espresso Bar at the Niagara outlet mall. This is a great little cafe to sit and have great food and the best coffee. Their soups are very good and sandwiches are very fresh. The staff turnover at this location is high but they are always friendly.
Staff r very personable, great coffee and breakfasts
Lovely place, good food including vegetarian & vegan
My first time ordering coffee from Aroma Espresso Bar and it didnt disappoint. The staff gives a very friendly and helpful atmosphere. Daren is very skillful and professional in what hes doing.
I only go for Americano...BC its the best!
Incredible place, where great people like Gracie and Pedro are making everything possible to make us comfortable. The best Aroma I have been to, and I been to Israeli original aromas, all Canadian and even Ukrainian. Thank you for being so good!!!
always a crowd but omg the drinks are to die for
Excellent service.
Had a small complication with my order but Daren and Gracie were able to resolve it. They re always great every time I go in!!
Always
Patio outside beautiful day
The food is really good hazelnut latte is the best. Great customer service specially Daren, will come back soon.
Really, rude server food cold and your coffee latte cold ...
Its a great place to relax and have a coffee and wait for others at the outlet.
Clean and spacious, friendly staff, not a big vegan selection but the options they had were delicious. Vegetarian options: Great vegan salad and lentil soup.
Good quality beverages in a nice open spot with many seats available inside and out. Excellent service. Next time I might sample the food on the menu. Very nice selection.
Thanks Pablo... very good food and even greater service!
Really nice location at the outlet mall with indoor and outdoor seating to grab a bite and or drink and relax for a bit.
My partner and I were visiting from Toronto so we are used to waiting for our food and understand the nature of food service. However, we were here on a Monday morning during a cold March day, so the place was not busy at all. There were two barista s and one left at 11AM after only being open from 10AM where are they going and why are you taking a break so early in the day? This left one barista alone by themselves to take care of about 8 people. We ordered two drinks and 2 croissants 1 croissant came out instantly but the 2 drinks we waited 10 minutes for, and only after my partner asked for sweetener when they make their drink and only after the 1 barista asked, Oh do you want me to make those now? There was no one else ordering, everyone else was seated. What do you mean? Of course we want our drinks. Then, when we got our drinks, we reminded him of the 1 croissant; he asked whether we wanted it heated up, we said yes. They put the croissant in an oven behind the counter. We watched this barista run back and forth doing things behind the counter, we assumed it was a 5 minute heating process. He said, Please sit down, I ll bring it to you. When we heard the beep of the oven, we saw this barista take out a FULL TRAY of croissants and stick it back in. Why are you baking a batch of croissants as we re waiting for the 1 pre-made one we wanted? At this time, it had been 30 minutes from our first interaction with the barista and we still did not have our complete order of 2 drinks and 2 croissants. I noticed another customer who waited for 1 drink for 20 minutes as well. When my partner came up to remind them AGAIN of the 1 croissant, he said I put it on the counter for you. Maybe someone else took it. We watched the entire time and no croissant was ever prepared or placed on the counter; plus, you told us you would bring it to our table. We saw the barista call their coworker who had left, and we heard them respond back on the cellphone on speaker, Are you kidding me? Sounded like the barista was expecting a long break without interruption. They finally came back and helped out. We waited 30 MINUTES for 1 croissant. 1 CROISSANT that you needed to just heat up? Horrible representation of an otherwise great franchise; go to Toronto locations instead and be less disappointed.
Really good, Macha te!!! Delicious salads healthy food!! 100%
Delicious food , excellent presentation! Daren, our service coordinator, deserves the highest praise for his exceptional dedication and performance. His positive attitude, unwavering enthusiasm, and infectious energy make every interaction a delight. Daren consistently goes above and beyond, demonstrating remarkable efficiency and delivering outstanding service. If anyone merits a raise, its undoubtedly Daren. His contributions elevate the team and leave a lasting impression on clientele. Vegetarian options: The roasted cauliflower bowl was delicious !!
Daren did an excellent job attending us on Wednesday with a smile on his face the whole time, Emma also served us the cappuccinos tasted delicious.
Thank you Emma
Food is delicious! Thank you! My recommendation to everyone
Always a great experience at Aroma! Avocado toast and pumpkin cream soup is amazing Food
Food served fresh, coffee taste good as always, Friendly staff. A bit busy though, hard to time seats.
Ordered latte and egg sandwich, worst experience.
On the pricey side and I dont like their new menu, they took away some classics like the shashuka. However, food is fresh and owner is super nice
My first visit....a very cold March Break...I ordered the lentil soup.. it was soooo delicious I intended to take a pic.....lol!
Highly recommended to all whenever i go to Niagara i always go there they have best croissant sandwiches best cappuccino best salad i just loved it go and check out .
Emma made a couple super fantastic cappuccinos that we thoroughly enjoyed. Awesome place great service.
Always amazing
Great service , and the steak and cheese sandwich was great. Great portions ( go for the whole ) The cashier very friendly, PJ ( José ) speak Spanish , a plus if you want to speak Spanish and order food. My wife and I we loved the place and the food.
Worst food.. stale bread used for sandwiches.. omelette sandwich wasn t even hot.. Cheese stick was cold as ice .. they didn t even heat the cheese stick .. like I would say Tim Horton is wayyyyy toooooo better to eat and worth for money.. couldn t even chew the bread..
Too crowded, but latte and service were great.
Generally over priced food and coffee, the service is ok, their are not too many other options in the area. The patrons are generally disgusting and leave a terrible mess, this is not the fault of the staff. They kind of have a monopoly in the mall, the coffees are good not great.
Standard Aroma location inside Niagara outlet mall.
It is a great option for lunch or a coffee during your shopping at the mall. The staffs attention is wonderful, they are very friendly. During my stay in the Niagara region I visited their cafeteria several times because of the great flavor and freshness of the food they sell. My favorites were: the aroma salad, the almond croissant and the hot apple cider. Although my husband loved the medium toast coffee.
Was pleasantly surprised at the menu options. If you want to grab something healthy while shopping. This is the only option basically
Croissant breakfast sandwiches are to die for! Coffee was amazing and we were simply blown away at this food court spot!
This is my favorite place to eat when visiting the outlets. Delicious soups, salads and drinks. Not your usual foodcourt fare.
The server who dealt with us Mr Daren was such a racist man. We visited this place for the first time and asked him a question about a bakery item. This guy was so mad and made such weird faces as if we asked something out if the blue. He spoke so rude while asking me to wait aside for my coffee. I literally felt as if he pushed me away by just speaking. He was so happy and smily while serving the next customer who was a white old lady.
Emma was excellent pleasent fast efficient
The place could use a little bit of cleaning. Their tables were dirty.
Loved their Bakery items in this location staff were really nice and helping with questions Food
Great food and beverages, fast service.
Awesome service! The staff is very kind and friendly :)
Great food and great spot to stop by after doing shopping !
