Aroma de Cafe Bakery Restaurant

📍 Aroma de Cafe Bakery Restaurant – 81-02 Broadway, Elmhurst, NY 🇨🇴☕🥚🍲

Started my day off right at this hidden gem in Queens and I’m still thinking about it 🔥 First, grabbed a large Colombian coffee—bold, smooth, no bitter aftertaste—just the way it should be! ☕️💯

Got into the savory side next with beef and chicken empanadas—crispy, flavorful, and freshly made. The chicharrón was exactly what you want: crunchy outside, juicy inside. But the real highlight of the morning? Their Desayuno Americano 🍳: two perfectly cooked over-easy eggs, golden home fries, toast, and sausage. Classic, simple, but done right. 🙌

Before leaving, I had to grab lunch to go—and WOW. Their oxtail soup was rich and comforting, served with rice, stew oil, and a fresh salad. Every bite was worth every penny 💸🔥

If you’re ever in Elmhurst and craving something hearty, authentic, and made with love—Aroma de Cafe is the move. 💛

Fav Colombian food spot ! We always get bandeja paisa and and order of tacos/nachoes and they always give a lot of guac. Always fills you up ! 10/10 recommend

The truth is I didn't really like the atmosphere and the place, dirty floor, cold and watery beans, the flavor of the food was considerable. I feel like I didn't eat anything fresh.

TERRIBLE service, I sat at the table and waited more than 20 minutes and they didn't even serve me. I was left with the menu in my hand while the people at the counter just looked at me and ignored them, they only serve those who are going to buy the bread. I don't recommend them.

I've actually eaten here b4 and it was pretty good. But TODAY I went in and got the special. They gave me undercooked chicken and it was disgusting.

Decent food and decent bakery

Nice Food.
Bad experience with the punctuality of wholesale and home orders.

Awesome bakery, it's only a block away from Elmhurst hospital, and is 100% better than Mira Cali that is located across the street from the hospital.

I work in construction, sometimes I got late in my shift. When I try to get some food from this restaurant around 6:30 pm, is already close.

Huge fan of their Pandebono and Chicken Empanadas ! My go to breakfast items for weekends ?❤️ The workers are extremely hardworking and always nice to customers. I wish they accepted cards for less than 10 dollar purchases too which makes it inconvenient for random pick ups ?

My morning go to is their refreshing and delicious pressed orange juice. They have a variety of hand foods too, bread and pastries, hott and fresh, to fill you up. Im sure they serve platters as well. This is a very humble place possibly a good place to look over some paper work quickly while having a bite. It is a very cultured place however they do speak English and are very welcoming. They have a few tv's that show the news in the morning. A few tables and a section where u can eat standing respectively admiring such a diverse amount of people as pass by and/or enter. There is a bathroom and the place is very clean.
