Didya notice the new look? If you didn't I changed the look of my blog! I hope you like it. I realized although birds are cute, they didn't suit the whole coffee-blog persona. Let me know what you think!
This week I gave an espresso bar a little visit and had a taste of their medium double double. What's the espresso bar called? Aroma Espresso Bar.
Aroma is one of the locations many people have been emailing me to try for weeks, and let me tell you; I am extremely happy that I listened to those requests.
I went to the Aroma located inside of the Promenade Mall food court. In the food court was an area marked up that was sole property of Aroma. There were beautiful wooden railings surrounding the area in a rectangle and inside the rectangle, there was an espresso bar (which was made out of wood, it looked like they had just split a tree in half and made a bar out of it) along with their "patio". The patio was beautifully located and organized. (1 Bean Point)
The patio had beautiful modern red chairs and dark brown tables. On the bar there was a glass box that held muffins. On the bar, there was an extremely large container of water with lemon that Aroma offers their customers free of cost. I noticed that they were also hand-made loafs of bread on a shelf, which is definitely not seen very often these days. The colour layout was dark brown and red, which resembled their logo colours. The ambiance was beautiful. (1 Bean Point)
When it was my turn to order the woman at the cash greeted me nicely as I ordered my medium double double coffee. Once I ordered my coffee, the lady at the cash asked me for my name and wrote it on the cup, she then told me that I could make myself comfortable at the bar while I waited for my coffee to be finished. As I waited for my drink, I prepared myself with some lemon water. The lemon water was such a sweet touch Aroma gives their customers and I think other coffee shops should join in on that movement. Beside me there were other customers getting their drinks, one of them bought 8 drinks for his co-workers (very sweet, I know) and I noticed that the coffee tray holder was completely different from the other places I have every gone too! Aroma's tray had 4 cup holders, which were in a box-shaped container with a hand on the top. The best way I could describe to you readers what it resembled was a beer container. It was so cool! The Aroma employee then went on a microphone and called out my name (so cool), gave me my drink and handed me a chocolate and said that it was a complementary chocolate from Aroma to the customer as a way of saying "Thank you" for buying coffee from them. That was extremely unexpected and such a cleaver and sweet sentiment Aroma gives out, so thank you. ( 1 Bean Point)
The flavour you ask? AMAZING! Literally the best coffee I have ever tasted before in my entire existence. (1 Bean Point)
The price of the coffee? $2.35. The price of the coffee in reflection to the ambiance, location, flavour and customer service was fair. (1 Bean Point)
Now it's time for the run-down:
Flavour: 1 bean point
Price: 1 bean point
Ambiance: 1 bean point
Drive-Thru: 1 bean point
Customer Service: 1 bean point
Total Score: 5/5 total bean points!
Aroma, you left me without words. You were beyond my expectations and raise the bar higher then any other. I was beyond happy with the service, flavour, ambiance, price and the patio. I will be coming back, many MANY more times. You are now my go-to spot! If you haven't yet tried the Aroma experience yet, you are truly missing out.
