This shop is absolutely cute and cozy. The price is not too high and you will get a good quality out of it. They have a bakery and the cakes are not bad. The cashier is kind, super helpful and patient and all the workers clean this place here and there so the place looks really near and tidy. Price is high but in this neighbor and with their service- I cant ask for more. I will surely come back if I ever visit this place again

Aroma offers a cozy and inviting ambiance with a solid selection of breakfast options. The hot chocolate croissant is buttery and flaky, with a rich chocolate filling that melts perfectly. The coffee is smooth and well-balanced, making it a great pairing with pastries. The egg sandwich is satisfying, with fresh ingredients and a well-seasoned filling. The acai bowl is refreshing, packed with vibrant fruits and a good texture. Overall, a great spot for a quick and delicious breakfast or coffee break.

We stayed next door for 4 nights and I could not have been more pleasantly surprised to find such a perfect cafe so close. Great drink selection from coffee to lattes and even drinks for our kids (juices, smoothies). The marshmallow latte I had the first day was delicious and I enjoyed their light roast more than the dark. The bagels are amazing and the danishes are super fresh as they make it all themselves. As I have said, the food is great and it’s all complemented by an amazing staff that is helpful, smiling and patient. It’s funny because everyone is in a hurry in NY, but their team here works fast and efficient, but doesn’t demean, rush or be rude at any moment. And sat here each day for an hour or so and just watched the hustle and bustle from sandwiches to full on breakfasts and more. Wonderful job all the way around. We will be back.

We popped in at this Cafe’ on a spur and were extremely pleased with everything!! They have so much to offer, whether you’re looking for coffee, breakfast or a quick lunch/dinner this place has something for you. You won’t regret paying them a visit, we certainly didn’t. Will definitely add it to my list of places to frequent when traveling to NYC!!

Coming from Texas, this place was so easy to find and tasty!! I highly recommend it if you want something quick and easy! Very delicious. It’s a must try! Finance got waffles and pancakes I stocked with the bagels. Everything was amazing.

Great cafe with views of the NYC hustle outside. We’ve been back to this place 2 days in a row as the bagels and coffee is good! They don’t burn the coffee / milk like other places do and the bagels are cooked well. Many food options available and an easy place to sit down and chill or work with a laptop. Fast friendly service too!
