    I have come here for lunch a few times when I am in a rush. They are very quick, however, I  find their options to be bland and their food portions have reduced over the years. It is quite pricey for what you are getting. The service is great and friendly but they need to change up the menu.

    I can't vouch for service in store, but I always order on Ritual at this location and it never fails. I can order while I'm waiting for the lights at University x College, and by the time I get into the store, it's usually almost ready! Can't beat that speed, especially since I'm almost always in a rush. Some of their items I feel are a bit overpriced but it's a nice place to sit down and study/catch up since it has a lot of natural lighting. I really enjoy their salads and iced coffee, would recommend those!

    This is the saddest $10 breakfast I have ever had.  I ordered through Ritual and the first time I ordered via Ritual to Aroma, they screwed up and gave my order to someone else.  They did eventually make my order for me so I let it pass.

    This is the second time I have had their order screw up.  I ordered a classic breakfast where turkey bacon and eggs were supposed to come with bread.  I paid an extra $1.75 to have an egg white omelette.  I was also supposed to have jam/peanut butter with my toast.  

    When I picked up my ordered and went up to my office, I was so sad to see that there was no turkey bacon whatsoever and the omelette was just sad.  There were two very sad whipped butters in there and 4 pieces of multi-grain bread in a paper bag.

    I am in awe I paid $10 for this and I'm actually really upset about this.  I don't think I will ever go back.

    Aroma has such beautiful menu items with delicious fresh ingredients. We were hungry and in the area and looking for breakfast food.

    So the match was perfect. We ordered our items, one breakfast on the go and one shakshuka. I was very excited by the shakshuka which is rather unique. Basically eggs in a bowl of thick red pepper and tomato soup. So warm and inviting especially on a cold day.

    The breakfast on the go surprised me as for some reason I expected a sandwich. But it was filled with veggies and some scrambled eggs. The only want in that dish was perhaps a bit more eggs.

    The shakshuka was delicious and pretty close to what I had imagined. However about 1/3 of the way into polishing it off, I discovered a label/sticker inside. It threw me. And all of a sudden I was not hungry anymore.

    The manager was very kind and asked me what I would like. I said I have no idea right now. So she waited and then came by a bit later. Eventually I asked for a breakfast sandwich to go and she made it and brought it to me. Hence the 3 stars.  

    Was it not for the label I would have given 4 and were it. It for the manager it would have been a 2 star rating.

    I will come back eventually and have another shakshuka. But it may be a while.  And as far as aromas go, this one is very nice to be at.  So maybe I'll even try it again in this location.

    I was a bit confused why this place only has 2 stars because it's at a great location, beautiful natural lighting, great smoothies (I got the mango kale and it was amazing!) free wifi and looks like they have an assortment of salads and healthy sandwiches for lunch too! So it's actually a great spot to drop by if you want something relatively healthy. It's very spacious too compared to other Aromas.
