I’ve been visiting Aroma at York University since I started studying here, and I must say, I was blown away by the outstanding customer service and delicious drinks they offer. Sophia, one of the staff members, went above and beyond to ensure I had a fantastic experience. I was unsure about what to order, but Sophia recommended the iced matcha latte with a vanilla shot and oat milk, which she described as her go-to drink. I decided to give it a try, and it instantly became my new favorite drink! The combination of matcha, vanilla, and oat milk was incredibly refreshing and flavorful. What impressed me the most was Sophia's attention to detail and her willingness to make personalized recommendations. Not only did she suggest the perfect drink for me, but she also upsold me on a delicious brown cookie, which was the perfect accompaniment to my latte. Beyond the delicious food and drinks, what truly sets Aroma apart is the well-trained and attentive staff. Sophia's expertise and friendly demeanor made my visit memorable, and I can't wait to return for another delightful experience. Without a doubt, I give Aroma at York University a well-deserved 5-star rating!

My go-to spot for coffee on campus. The staff is always welcoming, specially Annie, who's always smiling and has a kind attitude. They're super efficient so don't be afraid of the long queue. I love their hazelnut latte (hot), I usually get it with a little less hazelnut powder- so yummy!

Aroma at York Lanes is hands down the best spot for coffee on campus! I've been making it my go-to place for my daily caffeine fix, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, the lattes are absolutely delicious, and the service is incredibly fast! The staff there have such a great vibe, but I have to give a special shoutout to the Brazilian girls— they’re always so friendly, funny, and attentive. It really makes the experience even better! 10/10 every time!

It is my go-to spot! It has a cozy vibe, friendly staff, and a solid menu. They have plenty of seating for both studying and catching up with friends. I appreciate the clean and well-maintained space. The staff are always friendly and efficient, and the service is consistently good. I love their Ice Hazelnut Latte—smooth, slightly sweet, and super refreshing! The Chicken and Avocado sandwich is another favourite! Great spot for a reliable coffee break, light meal, or productive study session! :)

It’s a cute place to go study on campus. They don’t have a lot of selections for food but it’s a nice place to grab a drink and chat with friends while you’re waiting for your next class. Their ginger turmeric drink was refreshing. For some reason they haven’t been supplied with kale over the past 2 weeks so their kale mango smoothie just consists of mango. Other than that it was a nice spot.

I stopped by this morning for a coffee and felt so welcome - the staff are incredibly friendly. The latte is amazing, always topped with a lovely heart design. The chocolate chip cookie is a must-have!
