| - Probably the best cafe to study in in this general area...no, definitely is. At least on the weekdays, during the day. On the weekends, forget even trying! This place gets absolutely crammed with families & old people taking a breather from their sluggish promenades around the circuit of the mall.
Anyhow, during the weekdays it is far better to sit in here than in the Starbucks outside the mall, which is always slammed with ginos and ginas, or the starbucks inside the mall (which doesn't have seating...huh?). There's a wide variety of seating to choose from, benches, high tables, circular tables with comfy-looking swivel-armchair-type-things, or booths, which are personally my favourite. The only thing is, I'm not sure there are many power outlets in this cafe, in fact there may not be any whatsoever, but you'll have to double-check that...I think this cafe was opened mainly as a luncheon place for shoppers, and not as a sit-and-read spot. There is also much seating outside, with little tables.
You have access either to aroma's wi-fi, or to the central Vaughan Mills wi-fi, both of which work well.
I haven't tried the food at this particular Aroma, but from my experience with other Aromas, and from judging the amount of satisfaction reflected on others' faces as they consume the food, I presume it is quite tasty and fresh.
The coffee is great!! The drip coffee is superb and dished out in generous sizes. The cappuccinos/lattes are also fairly decent, as good as one is going to get from a coffee chain. Quite superior to those brewed by Starbucks, Second Cup, Tim Hortons, etc etc.
But actually my favourite thing is the machine by the door with the different smiley faces/frowning faces on it that you push on to determine your level of satisfaction.
