Cool coffee shop that also has beer and some cocktails. Reminds me of an Italian Caffe. Went here 3 days in a row for cappuccino and breakfast.

Found this gem when visiting the city for a Bills game. Loved the vibe here! Perfect for talking to strangers. We came here for wine one night and then for coffee and breakfast sandwiches the next two mornings. Right next door to a cute bookstore too!

It’s a classic cafe, so whatever you expect from a cafe, this place is that. Cozy, small, operates till late night, a great place to chat with your friend for hours or just enjoy your scone and tee on a summer afternoon. It’s one of my favorite places in Buffalo.

Solid matcha, and prices aren’t bad.

Had a great breakfast here with a former coworker. Great atmosphere and the Americano was delicious. BEC was just fine but I would try the quiche next time

Simply put, life can be stressful, days can be sad but in the busy Elmwood Village this place brings beautiful people together in an atmosphere that is rewarding to the soul. Relax, rewind, be home here at Cafe Aroma!

Reminds me of how caffès used to be

We ordered the caprese panino and prosciutto panino. They were awful! Such a disappointment. Not worth the $10 they charged for each. We will not go again.
Honestly, not great. And I really wanted it to be! Maybe I caught it on a bad day, but coming here was a disappointment. I came in around early evening, 4-5:00 give or take.
My visit may not represent the cafe properly but in summary: stale muffins, easily crowded but good location, drinks weren’t good, and the service wasn’t either. Prices are alright, but you might be better off saving your money.
1) The food I got was…gross. I ordered a muffin and it was stale, with a strange, fridge/supermarket-like aftertaste that was also somehow the main flavor. I have pretty low standards for food and still had to force myself to finish it, but at least I did.
My drink, a hot chocolate, was okay and well-presented. I went with another person who ordered something different and they mentioned theirs was super watery. We tried them pretty much from the counter and dined in.
2) Sadly, the person who took my order was cold and unfriendly. I also work in customer service, so I understand having off days and other general circumstances, but I was told they didn’t act like that with other customers.
I can’t confirm this, but independent from that fact, it didn’t feel the best and I’d imagine others might feel similarly if they come in with the same experience.
I’m sure every employee is lovely, including the person who took my order, but the way things aligned today just made for a crummy experience. And whew, that muffin was bad.

Had a really great date here the other day, great atmosphere, and not too loud! Definitely recommend it for a cool place to go in Elmwood that is open when a lot of other places are closed!

Hasn't changed much in the last 20 years and that is okay with me. Such wonderful memories coming here for soccer games in the 2010's. Its new owner has been working there since I can remember, is supremely dedicated and her attention to detail is apparent. She really does love the place and it shows in the decor and service . Staff is always friendly and attentive. And the coffee here is very STRONG indeed. The greatest location in the city for people watching, dog petting, and just good vibes in general. God has blessed this establishment in our beloved Elmwood Village.
