| - Believe it or not, this location is the first time I've ever stepped inside one of these aroma espresso bars. I can't believe I've avoided it for so long, given how many of them there are around the city, but for some reason I've just never been compelled to give them a try. Until now, quite obviously.
I think I was drawn by the shiny new location. Something like the visual equivalent of new car smell, I just can't drag myself away from unscuffed floor tiling. Also, I wanted wifi and a plug.
I got both things. There's a decent amount of seating both inside and outside, and I saw that the patio was actually almost full, with happy lunchers taking advantage of the summer sun. I chose inside for the air conditioning and power outlet, which was not bad either. There are normal tables and chairs, high tables with bar-stool height chairs, and even low tables with squishy comfy seating. Goldilocks would find her ideal seating in here.
I'm assuming the food and beverages are quite consistent across all aroma espresso bars, but in case you are out of the loop like me, the food looked quite good, and the smallest size for a coffee is medium, not small. There were also little samples of what I think was cornbread, and that was actually quite delicious.
Overall, definitely fulfills the triple threat of a) ladies to lunch spot, b) study spot, and c) hanging out with friends for chats and sips spot.
