I visited this place while on a short visit to Miami. It was early morning and I was craving shakshuka and coffee. A quick Google search led me here. Aroma Espresso Bar is a remarkably clean, stylish, large café with an extensive food, drink, and smoothie menu. I'm currently keto and greatly appreciated being able to replace the bread for avocado with a small upcharge. A gentleman named Guy who seemed to be the manager was most accommodating, very personable, and such a bright and refreshing addition to my early morning. Christina, who I think is a shift lead, was so sweet. She offered to make my latte half-caff when I said in passing that I'm a little sensitive to caffeine. She is an angel with a that service industry intuition. The crowd here seemed to be regulars and were also enjoying their experiences. I was able to claim a table and leave my items unattended. The outdoor seating is so vibrant and enjoyable, too. I felt comfortable reading and sipping there for a while. Every now and then Christina would make sure I didn't need anything. Coffee places are usually unremarkable outside of their ability to quickly put a correctly crafted latte in a to go cup in a timely manner, but this place earned a must visit multiple times during my stay rating. I will be back everytime I'm in Miami :) Love the food/drink, vibes, cleanliness, and staff.

The food is not bad. The atmosphere is nice, but the service is not good. I spent 30 minutes waiting for my order to finally be delivered. After 20 minutes of waiting, I saw a dish on the counter that looked like the one my daughter ordered and asked if it was for me. The person delivering the plates told me no, it was for someone named Luca. Then after 30 minutes of waiting the plate was still on the counter and I asked her again if she was sure it was not for me. She replied it's not for you. I insisted that he check because a lot of time had already passed. She told me you told me it was Luca and that dish is not for you. I told him No, you told me it was for Luca, and that's definitely not my name. Then she said: Oh yes, it's for you, but the order is still not complete, there is one dish missing. WHAT? This is incredible, there is no point in the dish waiting 15 minutes and getting cold because the other one is not ready. The person didn't even offer an apology, she excused herself by saying there were too many orders. It's crazy, I don't think I'll come back.

  • Adriana Larotta

It is a great coffee place with a variety of coffee options and bakery items. I tried their cappuccino, and it was good. The place is spacious with plenty of seating available, although it was pretty empty when I went. They have tables inside and some seating outside too. The service is good, you have to order at the counter and then receive your order there. It's a nice spot to chat with friends or spend some time alone. The prices are reasonable, and you can expect to spend around $10 for a coffee and a pastry. The location is convenient, as it's close to the Metromover station, which is handy if you're coming from Brickell or nearby areas. It's just a 2-3 minutes walk from the School Board Metromover station. If you prefer driving, there's ample parking space nearby.

Writing this review seeing as I go to this place way too much because it’s my favorite!! I can eat their avocado toast every day. Their bread is amazinggg. I’ve made my way around the menu, having salads, bowls, sandwiches, pastries, and everything is always delicious- never disappoints! The people working there are always a delight, and I continuously go back to this spot because it consistently has amazing food and is a great cafe to do work at as well. Their iced latte is one of my favorites ever too! I cannot speak highly enough about this place!

Today was my first time visiting Aroma and it was an absolutely amazing experience! When it was my turn to order, I told Nicole it was my first time and was not sure what to get. I was in the mood for cold drinks and breakfast food and her recommendations were just what I needed. I had the iced caramel latte, ice mint lemonade, and the power breakfast, all which were delicious! I wish there was a location closer to me but the drive is totally worth it! I definitely recommend coming here for yummy drinks, food, pastries, and an overall great time! Thank you Nicole for such a great experience!

We had visited this coffee chain a few times while vacationing in Israel, as it's one of their popular coffee shops over there. Our vacation tour group wanted to have a mini reunion of sorts, and it just so happened that they had a U.S. store in Miami! The branding and menu is pretty much equivalent, just more English and less Hebrew. Definitely a cool place to check out for an authentic Israeli experience. Try their Iced Aroma for a different take on a mocha frappacino. It's delicious!

I got the Tunisia sandwich. The lemon and olive combination is unusual and very tasty. I like the medium hot peppers, really add a punch, but easy to ask for sandwich without the peppers. The aroma latte, with a dash of dark chocolate, is divine.

  • Jazmin Betancourth

The most incompetent staff and overpriced food. I ordered breakfast and coffee for 1 person for $40. There speaker system was broken and they told me to sit outside until my name was called. Only to have to go inside again because the speaker system is broken. The food was awful and they still gave me the wrong order! Then I ask for a to go container and 5 ppl did not understand I needed a bowl and not just a bag. Ridiculous incompetence at every turn.

  • Vanessa Tam

This place is fantastic! Great food, beautifully plated, and efficient service. Everyone was friendly, especially the cashier. The finest fast casual Mediterranean cuisine I’ve ever had. We tried the shakshouka, the Cuban sandwich (made with turkey bacon and turkey), the date pastry, ruggelach (chocolate croissant), oat milk latte, and a macchiato. The details that really made my day were the little chocolates they put next to the coffees, and the dishes which come in beautiful plate-ware.

  • John Feliz

This place is really great! I’ve been here a few times and have not been disappointed. Today in particular was taken care of by Guy and he totally made it a fun experience. Also there’s a girl at the cafe that makes the best cappuccino’s designed with love. Their power breakfast and avocado toasts are a must try. Also vibe there is really nice.

  • Mikaela Beando

In Miami for work and came to have breakfast here. I am vegan so I ordered the power breakfast vegan option (chickpea omelette), iced aroma coffee with almond milk, and a green juice! Everything is absolutely delicious. It’s so rare I can go somewhere that has vegan options AND regular options for my friends. I fully recommend this spot for anyone in Miami this location specifically!!!!!

Always get the frozen coffee at aroma, there is nothing like it anywhere else I’ve been. It’s addictive and I’ve been craving it for years but struggle to find locations that are more convenient for me to get to, being based in Brooklyn. Chill vibes, you can get some work done and meet amazing people like Guy.

Came to this establishment for the first time today as although I was hoping to give them a great review because Guy was very welcoming and nice - I must say this has to be the worst sandwich I ever had. It was tasteless , the ingredients were not fresh , and the chicken was so dry. The think this place may have great coffee and that’s their specialty but the sandwich was a hard miss & I love sandwiches. -this was $13

  • Mateo Ventura Bruer

Very cool place. So many good looking things on the menu I'll have to come back to try some more. Super friendly staff, bring cash though because you can't tip on a credit card. I got a half soup and half sandwich, lentil soup and the Egg & Lebaneh Cheese on white bread. SO good. I also got a Turkish coffee which was delicious.

I loved the artsy aesthetic of the place, decorated really well. The cortado I got was done really well and it even came with a tiny little spoon and water, something that will always win me over. The service wasn’t bad what so ever, it’s just that it wasn’t anything special, nothing 5 ⭐️ worthy.

Poorly staffed . customer service to be improved . Sandwich was salty. since it’s art Basel week there was many customers and you could tell that the crew was stressed. My sandwich was very salty and I didn’t even want to ask for another one , because the person giving out the meals ( bald with beard) was so stressed . Wouldn’t come again.

I come here 1-3 times a week. The food is always good, they add new things to the menu from time to time, the pastries are VERY GOOD. Must try the halva pastry and the chocolate croissants. The people who work here are always very nice and the dining area is very clean. The owner Guy is the nicest dude ever. The steak sandwich, shakshuka and the grilled chicken salad are my favorites.

  • Carole McConnell

Delicious and bountiful! Aroma Espresso Bar in Miami has a large menu that includes many of the Israeli specialties that I love & remember from my visits to the Aroma Cafe in Jerusalem, Israel. I enjoyed a lunch of Lentil Soup and a Grilled Halumi and Portobello Salad. Delicious and unique! Don't forget dessert - I picked a freshly baked piece of Babka from their bakery items! Yum!

  • Kenzi Mudge

Amazing coffee. Good environment. Staff is friendly and helpful. Some food is great, some seems just heavy and bland. The sandwiches seem hastily put together. But I definitely will come back.

This was the first and my last time at this place the food really bad soup horrible , the staff at the front desk very nice and professional. People in the kitchen horrible they were having an argument and didn’t care about the customer listen to all they were screaming. Very very dessapointed at this place.

  • Judaya Vasquez

I am a big fan of this place. It’s got a great ambiance and super friendly staff! I didn’t try any of the pastries because they’re not my type but the drinks are fabulous and the avocado toast I had was to die for. I would definitely recommend this place to those stopping on a quick coffee or breakfast date!

  • Rob Maguire

No milk, at 11am! Is this a joke? The management/staff must be lazy or stupid to run out of milk at 11am. Theres a grocery store 2 blocks away. Go get some! Coffee shop with no milk. Don't waste your energy giving me lame excuses, just go get some ffs.

Love this spot for breakfast before the gym. They have a lot of healthy options from oatmeal, bagels and even juices. They call your name on an intercom speaker when your food is ready, make me feel like I'm back in middle School. Great local spot.
