Literally the best cafe I have had the privilege of experiencing. I'm a Champaign local, have tried all the other cafes downtown and by far Aroma is my favorite. You can't beat the atmosphere, great smiles from the staff, amazing music selection and drink options.
Some of the food can be a bit expensive, but once you bite into your first toasted Reuben or Cuban sandwich, it's totally worth it.
Their bagel special or their breakfast sandwiches for breakfast/ brunch after a long night ( don't forget the coffee ) make Aroma a great place for breakfast too.
I've played board games, studied, worked remotely, met people to catch up etc. all at this little great cafe. Love it, sometimes I don't know where I'd be without a coffee of the day and a smile, and I know I'll find that everytime at Aroma.
