Aroma Espresso Bar - North York

This restaurant near York University serves the best coffee in the area! I especially enjoy their delicious carrot cake and lentil soup. However, the interior is not well heated and can be quite cold.

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere with plenty of seating to relax and enjoy a meal or coffee. It is conveniently located and is a great spot to unwind. Additionally, they have a patio that is ideal for summer and hot weather.

I have been a fan of Aroma Espresso Bar since they opened their first location in Canada in 2007. They now have 25 locations in Toronto and 150 locations worldwide! I keep coming back to Aroma for two reasons: I love the coffee mug they serve my coffee in and I love the piece of chocolate that accompanies my coffee. I know it may sound superficial, but it's the truth! I also enjoy the food they serve, with my favorite dish being the Shakshuka – two sunny-side up eggs on a rich tomato and pepper sauce, served with Tahini and freshly baked bread. Their sandwiches are all delicious, mainly due to the amazing bread they use. When I'm not having Shakshuka or a sandwich, I like to order a salad – always fresh and tasty. With the cooler weather approaching, I look forward to trying their satisfying soups. It's worth noting that whenever I give a friend the option to meet at Aroma or another coffee shop, they always choose Aroma because of the food. I never disagree. Aroma was also one of the first restaurants to embrace Twitter back in 2010 – #impressed.

The mocha at this restaurant is delicious, and their butter croissants are amazing - buttery, flaky, and delicious. I was fortunate enough to get one fresh out of the oven!

I enjoy ordering from their lunch menu. The sandwiches are delicious, and they offer a variety of options. The soup of the day can be hit or miss, with some days being tasty and others being average.
