The name speaks for itself. Great smells from the place with straight forward items with unique twists (i.e. orchid latte). It's a must check out place.

Nice atmosphere, prompt service, and great coffee. A good place to spent the evening with friends or have a quick bite during the day.
It is often busy, and it is usually hard to find a table. be prepared to wait on weekend evenings. Would avoid if you have large group,
Overall, a refreshing new option from the well established coffee franchises in the neighbourhood. Definitely worth checking out. -

Holy moly.
I got takeout from this place two days in a row. Day one: half soup and salad meal. Day 2, salad.
Both were incredible and incredibly huge. They have a poster outside the place that says that nothing is premade, the salads and bread are all cut and chopped when you order. I believe them. These were the freshest salads i've ever had outside my house, and the soup (chicken and wild rice) was really great.
Plus, the portions are gigantic. The "small" salad easily yielded two meals.
The service is also quick and very friendly. -

It's nice, but at the time, some of the the tables were not cleared or wiped down. Found a spot, not the most ideal but it was the cleanest at the time. This was the only let down.
I've been meaning to visit the place for awhile but every time I go I can never find a table. In the summer it's jumping and you can't get a seat inside or out on the patio.
It's a cafe, and not just for drinks. You can order sandwiches and salads too. There's a person working in the kitchen preparing.
The teas and coffees differ from the norm, offering things like a Pina Colada tea and a Canadiana a twist on the Americano, expresso with the addition of steamed milk. Nice touch inc. a small chocolate with each drink order.
Oh I couldn't resist the cookies when I was there (going through a cookie monster phase right now). They were .50 cents each bites sized. What's the harm right?! :p . I had tried a few varieties. Notable was the Aroma chocolate cookie ( tasted like a brownie) and a sugar free cookie, a thin butter cookie with chopped almonds. Apparently all cookies and pastries are baked in house, I could see there's an oven behind the cash.
Overall I liked Aroma, a change from the typical Starbucks, Second Cup offerings and the taste was gourmet excellent. -

This place isn't too bad. Decent amount of seating, but definately doesn't give the impression that you can linger with your coffee or tea. Stopped off here to grab a tea post-meal. The set up is a bit too industrial for my taste. And the bussing happens pretty quickly.
Aroma is set up like your typical coffee store and then they call out your name once the order is ready. The teas are loose leaf teas. I'd say skip the peppermint-ginger tea and try something else.Listed in: 30 days of Yelping

Best coffee chain. Awesome sandwiches with the best housemade bread. The chocolate croissants are also the best from any chain I have ever been to. If you are in Thornhill and need a coffee this is tr place. The only issue is that it is often very busy as I am not the only person who loved this place.

Pros - A delicious coffee place with great fresh sandwiches and salads. The staff is helpful, and can customize food for you. The desserts are delicious and fresh.
Cons - the place is busy most of the time and because of that there are major problems with seating, if you walk in and see a seat, try to put something on it before you order, or you may have to stand (not as much of a problem in the summer as there's outdoor seating). -

I love the set up of Aroma Expresso Bar.
Those nice booth sofa seating not only good to sit with your friends and sipping coffee but great for reading a book (that's what I did) But the only thing is you won't have the view of the TV.
The coffee here is A-OK. Strong roast and love the chocolate on the side. If they would have change that to 50% dark chocolate. Love the mug, thick and heavy.
BTW, that guy Wayne saw in June, was still there on his Apple Laptop the hour I were there with his serious face... maybe he is reading Yelper's review of his competitors??
The late hours makes Aroma Espresso a great choice to hang out late if you have no where to go with your friends or after having wings or fro yo across the plaza.Listed in: Coffee, Tea or.........., A Day in Vaughan!

I much PREFER this location over the Promenade Mall as this Aroma Espresso Bar is setup within Rutherford Marketplace Plaza and it actually has a REAL Outdoor Patio. It even has an LCD to watch World Cup.
This would be a GREAT place to read a book or do some homework if not for the Grocery Store nearby that from time to time brings in a LOUD family of 8+ to ruin the calm coffee shopping atmosphere.
The staff are good and the person in-charge is very noticeable as he stands GUARD in his corner counter spot with his bluetooth headset and Apple laptop doing his thing with a serious facial tone.
The SEATING is very comfy and there are even booths for larger groups. I ordered an Ice Americano and the friendly cashier asked for my name as per service not because she was hitting on me. Most staff just like any other franchise Cafes are students doing there summer stint.
This area is still in CONSTRUCTION so the visual from the patio is not as pleasing as it can be. There will be a Duff's coming soon here too so this location is definitely a PRIME spot to watch out for.Listed in: Coffee Drinks

I drive into the Rutherford Marketplace pretty often and have always wanted to try Aroma Espresso Bar - it looked like a good alternative to Starbucks and the patio is always packed on a sunny day or warm evening. I finally got a chance to try it out last week. The atmosphere of this cafe is very hip and trendy with its black/red/white decor and comfy booths. The place looked very clean which I liked.
I went up to the counter and was greeted by a friendly barista and a display of delicious baked goods. I ordered a hot mocha coffee and opted to enjoy it at the cafe (they give you an option for you to take it to go). I had to practice a lot of self control to resist ordering an almond croissant or any of their other baked treats but those are something I'll be returning for! I spoke to one of the regulars at the cafe and he said that the baked goods at Aroma are decent. In fact, I saw some danishes coming out fresh from the oven!
Once the drink is ready, the barista called my name through their PA system. The mocha coffee I had was delicious - it was espresso, milk (lactose free for me), and chocolate praline which were chunks of chocolate that you stir into the drink. The coffee came with a complimentary piece of Aroma chocolate which was a nice touch. Aroma also has free wi-fi so I was able to enjoy my coffee while doing a few hours worth of work. There is also a cool water stand by the counter which you can help yourself to a cup of water.
Overall, a great spot in the area! They also offer a whole variety of sandwiches, salads, yogurt...etc which looked absolutely delicious (and a good portion size too!) I will definitely be back.
