I have been to Aroma 3 times. The food has been average at best each time. The coffee however wasn't bad. Rather go to the ice cream side and have a waffle with ice cream, that is decent.

I really rank aroma cafe extremely high, I might of only stopped there for the waffles and ice cream but it was the best waffles and ice cream I have ever had, extremely efficient service and friendly staff all the way, a definite must if you have a sweet tooth.

We had a long trip and really in for a good lunch. It was great. Good coffee, good food and good service.

As of recently, Aroma had a grand reopening after months of reservations. I, as well known coffee addict, was excited to pay them a visit.Boy, was this a rude awakening!So maybe the layout changed a bit but nothing really eye catching, all is still cool because hello we are here for the food and coffee and not the décor. But that was just scratching the surface, let's dive in shall we?Upon entering you will pass the pizza station. You get to see the mouthwatering process of how your meal is prepared, without the use of gloves of course! Fantastic hey? Now I don't know about you but with all the illnesses everywhere, I'd like my food clean please.Moving on from the not-so-exceptional-food, the server was the definition of I-just-want-to-get-this-shift-over-with. I get that waiters work very long hours, are constantly on their feet and well some customers are just plain rude to waiters, which is why I always go out of my way to be friendly and tip more than what's expected. But c'mon, walking away while we're still ordering and being just overall blunt and rude, not necessary! We didn't do anything to you, please don't mistreat us then.That all said, the coffee is still good, albeit we received lukewarm drinks. It's really sad to have to say it but it's not a cheap place and well I'd really like my money's worth!

Aroma is a must try due to the delicious food that they serve, especially the coffee. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the service is amazing. One of the best Cafés ever and highly recommended.

They have the best red velvet cheese cake ever!! BUT the service is poor and slow. We waited almost 30 minutes for our cappuccinos which were only filled half of the cup and then we waited another 30 minutes for our cake. So if you have patience and time - then this is the best place for a nice cup of coffee and their amazing cake (note the cake is expensive and not on the menus - about R75 per piece)

The ambience at Aroma gourmet coffee is vibrant and relaxing. The menu boasts an interesting variety of Gourmet sandwiches with a choice of Bagel, Baguette, Croissant, Wrap, Rye or Portuguese roll. The menu also boasts mouthwatering salads. I had a Smoked Salmon (Chilean) and cream cheese salad on my last visit a couple of weeks ago. The salad was exquisite and each ingredient fresh.I had a glass of Sauvignon blanc which was poured from a bottle and served in a proper wine glass.My husband had a business lunch here on Friday. He had the chicken mayonnaise on a Portuguese roll and declared his meal as exceptional. Service from all the waiting staff is always warm and friendly.Aroma most definitely got our attention and we will rush back and back again.

Friends , family, solo - best ever coffee and yummy food. I love a strong coffee so for me the Cortado is the way to go. The staff are all warm and friendly. I will be back.

I like this place. Situated somewhat back from a very busy Pretoria traffic junction it gives me the needed illusion of having escaped the rat race for a while. The close proximity of a major university makes for a young, vibrant clientele. By design and fare there is a pleasant but not dominating US angle.The combination of excellent simple food, very reasonable pricing, high quality coffee and knowledgeable staff carry my vote.

Having lived in a Coffee Farm in Brazil, and having been an old school Barista myself, and a Restaurateur to date, I was very skeptical when I was invited by a friend to "give it a try"... Well well well... seriously impressed, the best espresso, great concept, amazing vibe, easy and delicious food, I can only but take my hat off to you, and congratulate you, and invite all coffee lovers not to miss a visit (at the risk of becoming a hooked:)
