Caffe Aroma

What I love about this place is that it is a café café.  Food, coffee and drinks.  I love their draught selection and two for one Peronis Tuesday nights is a must.  

This is my choice place to watch football football.

Caffe Aroma is a nice cafe located within Elmwood village with a European inspired feel to it. Here, you will find many of your standard cafe favorites like paninis, wraps, coffee, expresso, et al. However, some of the menu items have a twist or are simply not what you would find in your average american cafe such as wine and cheese platters or particular ingredients.

I personally got a prosciutto panini which was delicious and a sun-dried tomato salad side that came with it, which was rather tasteless - especially compared to the panini ($7.50). My friends who ordered mango smoothies were also impressed by their drinks. Although I have had limited experience with their food, based on what I had, I would venture to say their food is both tasty and fresh (with the exception of maybe their side salad).

As a student, I'm always interested in the studying environment of cafe's. The outdoor seating area is nice and relatively quiet, especially now that it's the summer and we can begin enjoying the sun! As for the interior, it's cozy, but perhaps a little too dark to study in, unless you are studying exclusively from a laptop. From what I saw, there was a pretty good availability of sockets around to plug devices in. The wifi is not really "free" in the sense that you have to be a paying customer to use it (which I personally think is normal/courteous), in fact I saw two students asked to leave the premise because they refused to purchase anything. I have also heard that wifi is only available for 2 hours, so that may not be the most convenient things for students who plan to pound out an entire day studying.

Otherwise, it seems to be a great place to enjoy a book, relax, or just meet up with friends.

Blondie was pretty good!
