I tried the cherry lace, and it was absolutely delicious! The barista recommended it, and I was really glad I chose that one. The cheese danish was also tasty, and the service was good. Plus, the vibe and décor are incredibly cute and aesthetic.

For this being our first time trying this place, it was pretty good. The atmosphere as soon as we walked in was very welcoming. Service was great as well, the baristas were patient and happily answered any questions I had. I just wish for them to be more detailed of their menu items. Other than that, everything was good and I will definitely have to come back again to try their other drinks.

The Aruma Cafe is such a beautiful space to grab a drink and relax at. They offer both cafe style drinks and alcoholic beverages as well as a food menu.

Great Breakfast burritos and the lady behind the counter is the best. Only thing is I went at 8:50 am and there was not a single person behind the counter. Kept there for 10 minutes but same same. Only bad review after visiting 3x so take it as you will. Just upset I didn’t get my coffee before work.

Smooth good quality espresso. Options for half caf, half sweet, and alternative milk! Speciality menu is *actually* good! I got the Golden Boy and it was great. Located in the Culdesac community with indoor and outdoor shaded seating.
Aruma in Tempe has such a nice aesthetic (definitely Instagram-worthy). We came by on a Saturday morning around 11:30 and was pleasantly surprised that there was plenty of space.
I ordered the pistachio cold brew, but unfortunately, it was really watered down and didn’t stand out. Definitely not what I was expecting for a specialty drink. I also got a bean and cheese burrito, which was delivered in foil and directly to the table, with no plate or napkins. I had to ask for both, which felt like a bit of an oversight.
The service was just OK. We had to ask the bar staff for details about the menu, and while they weren’t rude, they didn’t come off as particularly warm or engaging either. It felt like just average service, and overall, the experience left me unsure if I’d come back.

Finding parking was difficult, requiring multiple attempts. Breakfast must be ordered online from the adjacent restaurant, which is inconvenient. The booths are uncomfortable for extended computer work, and the public Wi-Fi is weak despite the café’s strong 5G Wi-Fi. This place serves as a coffee shop in the morning and a bar in the evening.

Aruma Café is such a beautiful addition to the Cul du Sac district in Tempe—and lucky for me, it’s just around the corner from home. The space is stylish and welcoming, with thoughtful decor that makes you want to stay a while.
The menu is creative and full of unique drinks you won’t find anywhere else. I especially recommend the rose latte—it’s my go-to. Light, floral, and just the right touch of sweetness. They also serve quick bites, breakfast, and even have beer and other alcoholic options if you’re winding down later in the day.
It strikes the perfect balance of cozy and cool. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick coffee or hanging out for a bit, Aruma never disappoints.

Visited this morning and didn't realize they were part of the Culdesac!
It has such a cute aesthetic - pink and bubbly! There's plenty of seating inside and out.
I liked their menu, but wasnt expecting how expensive their specialty menu would be.
Parking can be a little tough but I was lucky to find street parking right in front.
They were friendly and noticed they had plenty of regulars they greeted!

My husband and I have come here a few times, and I’m always hopeful they will have horchata but only once did they have it since we moved to the area, which is totally not their fault! However, this time they did have it and OMG the horchata is fire, absolutely delicious. And their concha’s are fantastic every time we go we always pick one up! The employees are always so nice and patient and quick to recommend an option when I’m unsure of what to get that morning. Thank you guys!
