The Euro-style café has finally made its way to the financial district. They're a nice addition to the neighbourhood which probably has more coffee shops per square capita in the city. Only open for less than a month, a line-up had formed when I got there and it was only 9:30 am.
The café is located in a good spot within the PATH system. The traffic flow is busy (close to St. Andrews Station and on your way to First Canadian Place and TD Centre), but not too busy where it can get loud, like near a food court.
They've set up an attractive seating area where their red chairs add a nice pop of colour to the space. It's a good spot to take a 15 minute break or do some work.
What I like about Aroma is their specialty coffees and espresso drinks. My cappuccino was good and frothy, and I'm a big fan of their hot chocolate and mochas. I also like the little chocolate treat they give you with each order.
They have a nice selection of pastries but seeing the tray of 'well-done' croissants worried me. Maybe I'm being too picky but shouldn't croissants be golden in colour instead of dark brown? Hmmm. Maybe they haven't figured out how to use their oven yet, but once they fix it, I'm more than happy to sample them in the near future.
