Ice Limonana (frozen lemonade with mint) is perfect for hot summer days. They also got rid of the peanuts in the warm chicken salad for all the nut allergies out there.
Rose TabladaAugust 14, 2014kale salad w/ portobello mushrooms, cherry tomatoes & Shave Parmesan Cheese w/ lemon dressing, a side of skim latte & 1/2 grilled chicken sandwich w/ roasted peppers, mozzarella & arugula. So good :)
Everyone is so nice here! Totally feels like a chill home away from home. :) now to mention the food and coffee is delicious! Try an orange carrot juice, it's the best pick me up...
- The chocolate croissants have creamy Nutella-like texture inside, sans nuts. I usually get a cappuccino/croissant combo, a BLT, or a salad (sweet potato/goat cheese).
Super friendly. I came at a very busy time. Very efficient and always comunicate to the customers to make them feel special.
Tohm SansaniSeptember 13, 2014Love the salads and sandwiches, especially the warm garbanzo bean salad! Pricy but large portions and high quality! Check out the upstairs patio!
Brynn ShepherdOctober 2, 2012Free piece of chocolate with any coffee drink! The salads and sandwiches are good too, and the UWS location has a nice upstairs with couches and an outdoor patio.
AnyaSeptember 13, 2017I liked their breakfast choices, coffee was pretty good and outdoor seating area on the second floor is really cute and makes this place so distinctive.
Rowan QuirkApril 29, 2017The blended mint tea lemonade is amazing! I'm vegan, and I went in looking for coffee, but this drink did. It disappoint.
Terecille Basa-OngMay 30, 2013Get the Breakfast To Go, even if you're staying - 2 eggs, toast and a coffee for $5.72 including tax is an awesome deal!
bernie hodkinJanuary 27, 2015A chill place to sit and study. Wifi is fast and reliable. Don't forget to pick up a punch card!
I loved it. The chai latte is made of pure awesome. There is upbeat music but it's not loud so you can talk normally.
Danica YNovember 12, 2014Free wifi and many outlets upstairs, perfect for a long study sesh. Eggplant goat cheese sandwich is a win.
Nothing like an iced Aroma! Go upstairs and sit outside in their adorable garden!
Kitman LeungJuly 2, 2012Really cozy atmosphere. By far my favorite aroma in the city! Comfy chairs and on a nice day you can sit outside on the roof.
HankDecember 1, 2014Great place to get work done or study. Coffee and croissant breakfast sandwich is good too.
Meira BennettFebruary 28, 2013Try the whole-grain croissant. Unless you're a purist, it's as good as the real thing but with a little wholesome crunch!- Rowan QuirkApril 29, 2017The upstairs couch seating is cozy and on a nice day there's even a rooftop patio!
Bill O'LearyOctober 28, 2014There is more space and is less crowded than other coffee places on the UWS. Maybe because of the wifi limitations, but who can blame them for that?
Debbie MoralesJune 15, 2013Great place to read, study or work but it's kept too cold upstairs! Outdoor patio is great!
ERIN ZEITLERFebruary 15, 2014Attitude way outta line at the order counter...they will blame you if they get your order wrong. Barista and baristo, however, were happy to fix it even though they were busy. Much appreciated.
Valerie SJuly 30, 2017Coffee is good and there's ample seats and tables, but it's a little pricey and the service is very slow and incompetent.
Chirag PatelSeptember 29, 2014Spacious for UWS and no wifi password. Lots of veg sandwiches, salads, etc. Big tables
Nice upstairs outdoor patio. Perfect during nice weather.
elaine keating-brownMarch 28, 2012Staff lovely food great and fab place for kids lots of high chairs and changing table ! Seats really comfy too.
Tony MayesFebruary 23, 2012They have a nice "secret" patio upstairs in the back - great for summer!!!! (or a winter like this...)
ℳansour αℓтαууαrAugust 27, 2014Just a fine coffee, can not be listed in my favs. The staff are nice.
The menu says soup of the day comes w/"homemade garlic croutons" but when I ordered they served reg bread.When I asked for the croutons they looked at me like I was crazy & said theyd have 2 charge me
Eugene KopmanNovember 8, 2013I love the food but the service is awful! The counter cannot multitask and with one guy in the kitchen it takes forever for food to come out. A little bit of employee training could go a long way.
Ethan YangMarch 1, 2010They used to give unlimited access of free wifi which rocked but now they give you only 30 minutes with wifi code/pin. Well, Aroma is still a great place to work and relax.
Get here early-7-8:15. You'll have your pick of seats and couches.
Aroma Espresso BarOctober 14, 2011There is an amazing gig going on right now at Aroma@72nd's "Thursdays Live". Stop by if you're in the neighborhood. Free admission! Beer & Wine!
Natalia QuinteroJune 14, 2012This Israeli coffee chain has fresh food and delicious coffee. Come to reminisce about your times in Tel Aviv.
Whitney HuMay 8, 2013Delicious but they always mess up my salad order. However the chai lattes are delicious.
There is no outlet power available on the first floor - so head upstairs, where there is lots of extra seating as well as comfortable outdoor space for the nice weather.- Aroma Espresso BarNovember 10, 2011Tonight make sure to check out Dylan's Lunch Box on NYC Life, Channel 25 at 10pm - AROMA ESPRESSO BAR WILL BE FEATURED! Filmed at our branch on W. 72nd St.
Writing Nook Tip: Yummy food, back patio complete with outlets & couches upstairs. Just beware the wifi. You only get 30 free min per purchase.
MyCheck USSeptember 10, 2014This Aroma location has expanded their dessert menu, and we are not complaining.- Aroma Espresso BarOctober 11, 2011Aroma @ 72nd St. has live music every Thursday from 8:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. Enjoy the rooftop patio, beer & wine and free admission!
Jennefer ShpilmanMarch 25, 2011Love it!! Do recommend Ice Aroma for a nice refreshment drink. I prefer the Soho Aroma more
