| - This was my first time visiting an aroma, and I have to say I am a bit disappointed. I thought aroma was a bit more of an upscale coffee cafe, or maybe it was just the location, but when I pass by an aroma, it usually looks like a very quaint and charming place.
Upon entry the first thing I noticed was how grimey the place looked. The tables, the counter, the credit machine, the glass. Everything looked like it had not been wiped in a while. There were 2 staff working the front with no line, but I had to wait about 5 minutes before being served. I didn't mind too much since the cashier who took my order was polite.
I had the albacore tuna (half sandwich) and a coffee. Ran to a little over $8. I love that they announce your name when your order is ready, but even at $8 I didn't think what I got was worth it. I drank my coffee black, and honestly it tasted exactly like Tim Hortons dark roast. The sandwich was non-toasted on 2 floppy pieces of sour dough bread. It had onion, arugula, a pickle and what seemed to me like canned tuna. The sandwich was very average, and without the pickle I would say a complete waste of money. It was also a complete turnoff to see that the only tables available for seating were covered with dirty plates and trays.
Severely below standard food, dirty restaurant, and average customer service. For the price they charge, it's definitely a ripoff. You can make a better sandwich at home for half the price.
