Aroma in The Vale of Glamorgan

We called here for coffee. The music was so loud that we thought we were in disco? When mention to girl totally in different. Give this place a miss

Not sure what has happened here - whether they have new owners or money issues but much has changed in the last few months. The quality of the meals has dropped significantly along with some items that they would usually serve with the meals and coffee. This used to be a lovely place that my wife always visited when in Cowbridge. Alas no more visits here.

I am a local and a regular customer at the cafe and go there at least once a week. Recently I have noticed customers are taken for granted and there is no way to speak with the manager. For example, a smoked salmon and avocado bagel is priced at £8.5 with a waiting time of 25 minutes (minimum!). After 25 minutes of waiting the waitress comes and says we have run out of avocado are you OK if we replace it with chopped tomato? I reluctantly say yes and think about the price difference between avocado and tomato! and whether or not they will give me some money back (there is even no offer of get your money back). Few minutes later, the plate turns up with one bagel sitting in the middle, a modest slice of smoked salmon and sliced tomato. No side salad, no crisps nothing! I make an effort to support a local cafe and this is how the managing team respond to the local support. I find this behaviour insulting and unacceptable.

The cafe is pleasant as were the staff but £3.70 for a latte is over the top and food though nice was too expensive, so we won’t be visiting again, such a shame

Popped in here. Ordered 2 coffees and 2 custard slices. The bill came to over £16. Worked it out that it cost £4.50 for each custard slice. Outrageous prices! Recommend avoiding as all you get is a hefty bill and a view of a waitrose store roof that definitely needs a power wash. I know prices have gone up but these prices were appalling!

went there with my mum and sister for breakfast on friday 20th may food was absolutely outstanding. Nothing better than great tasting food. Drinks were a little slow but the food made up for that. Would recommend this place. Compliments to the chef absolutely beautiful food.

Went for breakfast with my partner on saturday 21st may i had the eggs bededict that was absolutely amazing. My partner had the breakfast which looked amazing before even tasting it. Food was outstanding definitely come back

I've been to Aroma cafe quite a lot recently when my daughter has a class in Cowbridge. I keep returning as I am dairy and soya free due to my babies allergy (breastfeeding her so meets I have to avoid as well) and the staff are always so accommodating and helpful, particularly Rebecca who I feel goes above and beyond. The food is good, there are plenty of savoury options and drinks for me and I feel safe eating there from an allergy perspective so I'd recommend to others Also - always cafe is very clean and well presented, toilets always clean.

As soon as we entered the cafe, we were welcomed with a heart warming smile from the waitress, Rebecca. Being both gluten free and dairy free, going out for breakfast is always a task - but I was spoilt for choice! Again, with cakes (for a 3 hour trip home, not at 9am😂) there is usually little to know choice - but Rebecca (the fabulous waitress) provided multiple options and even helped me choose! Lovely waitress, lovely service and lovely food! 10/10!

My partner and I decided to indulge in a breakfast and coffee at Aroma. We decided to have a full English breakfast even tho the price was quite expensive (£8.25). We both don’t like mushrooms so kindly requested to swap them for a different item but this was declined to my shock! I thought it was a fair request when we were paying that amount for a breakfast!!! We were offered any sauces to accompany our breakfast and were very shocked to receive a thimble of red & brown sauce!!! When our coffees were served we were offered any sugar in which the waitress rationed & gave us one sachets each instead of leaving the bowl on our table. I will not be returning here for a coffee or a breakfast again!!!!

We ate a great breakfast outside, it was the day before my brother's birthday and we were gifted Welsh Cakes to take away, would definitely eat here again when in the area. :D 10/10

Coffee was nice , the cakes lovely . Custard slice full of flavour and the pastries were great . Friendly service , very enjoyable .

Best milkshakes in the Vale, friendly & welcoming staff in a controlled COVID environment ....oh, and Sausage sandwiches to write home about! Rated!!!!!!

Went for a coffee today- although there is a variety of cakes and a good selection on the menu the current system of service doesn't seem to run so smoothly. Had to wait ages to be served as only one customer was allowed at the till at one point which is fine considering our current situation but if you are sitting outside and are waiting to go in to order it seems that those customers seated inside think it's ok to push in front of you even though they can see there's a queue- had this happen twice before I was served which can be quite frustrating.

Had coffee and cakes here for mid morning break. friendly staff nice surroundings top quality food available as well. Worth a visit.

Visited with wife for a sandwich and cuppa each. Paid £18.50 for a very basic no frills sliced bread sandwich each with 7 crisps. Service poor as wife had to remind them we ordered tea half way through our eating. Also asked for hot water as very small teapot had too strong a brew. This was brought to us in a miniscule milk jug. Rip off prices with poor service.

Your industry has been through hell, and it would have to be appalling to get me to write a bad review...You're charging c £8 for a sandwich made with sliced bread accompanied by a fraction of a packet of crisps, and £2.30 for a can of soft drink. Yes, we get 50% off, but it's a rip off at half the price.You might need to do this to survive today, but you've lost us as customers for tomorrow.

Lovely little cafe/restaurant. Friendly service and well prepared and tasty food. Would definitely recommend.

Enjoyed Chicken Curry today, would definitely have it again as long as standard and price maintained.

Lovely menu catering for most tastes. Service was good , but they were very busy. Good food and atmosphere. Very near large supermarket, great for a coffee break and a nibble of something tasty!

Not a bad breakfast, little overpriced. Average portion sizes. Nice ingredients, decent staff. Reasonably quick.

Me and my girlfriend have been going to Aroma in Cowbridge for some time now quite regularly and it never disappoints us. It’s a lovely little cafe, with great food and service and is also quite photogenic with its nice brick walls inside and vintage looking signs all over the place. It’s a fabulous place which we will keep going to for either a delicious breakfast / lunch or just a cup of coffee

Such beautiful food and great service - couldn’t believe how generous they were with portions of avocado (a whole avocado, perfectly ripe!) and halloumi. Lovely, thanks!

Regularly visit with our young daughter. Very accommodating cafe which does very tasty food, homemade cakes, and nice tea and coffee. They serve a full lunch menu and serve breakfasts all day. Our favourite cafe in Cowbridge

Had full breakfast, husband had bacon sandwich. Poor quality and expensive for what it was. Coffee indifferent.

Coffee is good , service was good , food which we didn't have , so can't comment , but has a sunny spot with outdoor seating , which would be nice on a summer day

If you have to sit near the counter, just hope that the staff do NOT have to make too many Smoothies or Frappes( I think those are the drinks that require the noisy machine) as there is a very loud unpleasant row from the counter area.As far as the food goes, ok is as good as it gets. I had the Bacon and Brie toasted sandwich and have to say that I have possibly been spoilt at The Windsor Cafe in Penarth as well as The Radyr Golf club, for both establishments serve a more generous portion and for less money. However, when in Cowbridge, one has to eat in Cowbridge.

Called in for a quick cappuccino and cake, cappuccinos were nicely done well presented, had the Ferrero Cake it was a little bit dry however, the establishment was clean and staff friendly, furnishings are warm and inviting, prices for me are a little high but being as this is a affluent area it would probably be average.I’m not overly disappointed with my visit and I could’ve mentioned the cake to a member of staff but I did eat it and if I’m in the area again and fancy a decent coffee then I’ll probably return.

Excellent choice of breakfasts, had the bacon sandwich which was probably the best in Cowbridge. Coffees were also excellent and so was service.

Popped in for a quick brunch. Managed to get a seat easily and was served quickly. Food was lovely as always. Service with a smile

Easy to get a table for lunch time visit, my husband had a chicken and bacon pie, still looking for the meat in the pie, served with french fries, not proper chips, gravy and peas, why a meat gravy with chicken pie? Americana coffee was a plain coffee not much to write home about. I had the Eggs Benedict, which was tasteless but freshly cooked, and the best thing I could find to say was the hot chocolate with cream and mallows was expensive but nice, this lot cost £25.

Friendly service with nice relaxed atmosphere. Food was delicious & fairly priced. It was our first visit will definitely be returning.

Great service, original menu and very fairly priced.. all day breakfast options great when you’ve had a lazy morning!

It has to be said that it IS expensive. There isn't any way around that, however the price is similar to Costa and the atmosphere is much better.

Came in for breakfast, we were going to go to costa but thought we’d try somewhere new. The service was friendly and no problems there but was quite shocked when 2 drinks and 2 cookies came to £12.50 taking into consideration their size. Went to order breakfast, just poached eggs, beans and toast and it came to over £7 which I thought was ridiculous and makes other Cafes in Cowbridge look cheap. My toast was covered in vinegar and beans were tasteless and half cold and my company agreed. Nothing against the lovely girls who work here just was very disappointed with the price for what we received and won’t be returning unfortunately.

We were a family of four with two children, every thing about this café is great, from the staff to the food and drinks and the décor.

We visit both Aroma branches regularly but this is the first time I came across their new offering: the new Low-Carb breakfast. Always striving to watch calorie intake I tried this but reluctantly. It was a joy, tasty and satisfying, perfect. It is always pleasure to visit this place but this gives another reason to stop in for a meal.

Lovely food. Lovely coffee. I don't know why this place wasn't packed out, but i think they tend to close early and there's alot of competition in the little town.

Each time we go here it is always good! Food is excellent quality for a coffee shop, always a good selection on the menu and specials.There is always a huge range of cakes and pastries too! The staff and owners are extremely helpful and friendly.

Although we only had drinks I was really taken with the lovely coffee shop choosing it over a big coffee chain two doors away , the staff especially the bubbly young dark haired girl were really friendly and helpful and nothing was to much trouble , I looked at the menu and it looked nice unfortunately I wasn’t hungry enough to sample but if it was as good and as nicely presented as their iced frappe and other coffees then I’m sure it would be great , quirky different little place glad I chose

We visited as part of a group of 14 and had great service. My toasted tea cake came perfectly toasted and with 4 portions of butter (soft and ready to spread). My hot chocolate had marshmallows on top covered with a swirl of cream - delicious!

Was meeting a friend for breakfast in Cowbridge and spotted this place as soon as I parked up. Spacious and homely at the same time, it seemed like the perfect spot.

2 of us enjoyed a good breakfasr here prior to setting out on holiday .I have to say it was as good as any other breakfast we had on holiday and I thought reasonably priced for Cowbridge and what we were served .Very pleasant service too .

My fiancé and I visited for breakfast a couple of Saturdays ago. He ordered the full English which wasn’t bad but I made the mistake of ordering bacon and scrambled eggs and the eggs were dreadful: overcooked and rubbery, and I’m guessing made in the microwave. I couldn’t eat them, but no-one came to check if our food was ok so I left hungry! Also they supposedly offer white or granary toast but they didn’t have granary, only brown. Prices are a bit steep - I don’t mind paying if the food is good, but when I can cook better myself at home it leaves me feeling ripped off. We won’t return.

Visited today for breakfast.. The prices are a bit on the steep side for portions..whilst we were there 3 tables came in looked at menu/prices and left. I ordered scrambled egg on toast.. the portion of scrambled egg was very small for the price it cost. Unfortunately I wouldn't return for breakfast.

What a lovely cafe this is. I visit this cafe regularly with my other mum friends and I have to say I wouldn’t want to visit another cafe in cowbridge.

Aroma Cowbridge is consistently excellent. The lovely food and incredibly nice staff make this one of our favourite places to visit, especially for brunch. It's always busy but this never seems to impact on the service (other places take note!).

Unfortunately received terrible service today at Cafe Aroma today!. Hardly anyone in there, but they managed to mix-up my veggie breakfast with another customers and despite waiting about 20 minutes, mine never arrived and I asked for a refund.

When we first started coming here we loved it but its really gone down hill, the standards aren't the same, we've had a cold jacket potato, a bacon sandwich with very dry bread, an over cooked beef burger and dry cake, its quite expensive for what you get too, such a shame!

Después de los comentarios en Tripadvisor visitamos Aroma y desafortunadamente no puedo estar de acuerdo con los comentarios anteriores. Era caro para 2 tacitas de café y el pedazo de flan era muy pesada y no parecía en general fresco una experiencia decepcionante

Yo tenía un champiñón y queso tortilla. Me pareció que era un poco caro, pero después de comer, me di cuenta de que recibes lo que pagas. Fue cocinado a la perfección, suaves, la luz, las setas no estaban cocidas y el queso rebosa.

We've been frequenting this cafe since it opened and love everything about it, however their prices have been rising steadily to the point where it is not good value compared to other cafes in the area. This is a shame as we really like it, but I'm afraid that we will have to look elsewhere as we've been out priced!

Quirky layout, nice tables. Great staff, helpful and friendly. Sandwiches, panini and wraps were great. Just check with before ordering though as panini' may have sesame seeds!! Wrap was great but check before you pick up as wasn't folded at bottom... Cakes were awesome!! Pistachio twist was amazing and custard slice was perfect in every way!!! Definitely coming back for more cake

I have been here twice and not been disappointed either time. I have lunch on each occasion but unfortunately I did not have enough space for cake but the selection looked amazing. Good coffee too. Lots of choice of hot meals, sandwiches, wraps, paninis, jacket potatoes and breakfasts. Hope to visit again in the near future for cake and a milkshake!

Visited this establishment with friends for coffee and lunch and was disappointed to witness one meal containing a hair .Cook was very apologetic and refunded cost of meal plus a replacement dish.There was no hair protection worn by catering staff and the counter staff except one had loose flowing hair frequently adjusted whilst serving customers.The cake display on the counter looked very attractive and enticing but very few cakes were covered.I wonder how the 5* rating was achieved

Greeted with a friendly smile and excellent service. Busy but comfortable atmosphere and not too loud. Food was served quickly and was piping hot, very well presented and tastey. We are always on the look out for a great cafe and this is definitely worth a visit ....and more!! PS. always a bonus to see a female chef

A very nice Birthday lunch with our family. We all enjoyed various types of food and it was served promptly and politely with friendly staff. Only thing is it,s a bit pricey but quality food.

This little cafe is situated just by Waitrose carpark in Cowbridge. I have been here on numerous occasions, and have sampled a variety of dishes from the menu, all of which I have really enjoyed. They appear to have a great selection of cakes, which all look delicious, but I have never tried them so can't comment unfortunately. The decor of the cafe is very warm and cosy, and provides a great retreat from the wet welsh weather. The staff have always been polite and welcoming. The pricing of the actual menu is a little high for what you actually get, but the quality is good and I am always willing to pay a little more to ensure a nice meal. I have met up with friends and babies on numerous occasions here, and the children's menu is very good. However, its a struggle sometimes to manoeuvre several pushchairs through the limited space between tables. It also causes problems when other customers try to pass you. One big downside for children is that, though there is a designated 'play area' with books, crayons and toys etc. to keep children entertained, they were all of really poor quality. Ripped books, broken toys and a limited selection of blunt pencils. This issue could fairly easily and cheaply be resolved - there are many charity shops in the area selling quality toys & books, and crayons can be purchased for a very reasonable price. I would go so far as to say this issue brings the overall quality of the experience at this venue down greatly. Everything else is spot-on i.e. cleanliness, service, food quality.

I go to this cafe on a regular basis for my lunch in work and tbh the staff and the food are friendly and verry professional I allways look forward to every visit and I would also like to thank beck for suggesting the bridgend cafe for a spot of lunch for me and mam that was great! I look forward to future visits! XD

I love this little cafe....always a warm welcome and the food is always freshly prepared and cooked. Very clean and fresh flowers adorn the tables.

Really friendly service both times over visited. Prompt table service. A good range of cakes available - haven't tried the main menu. Will continue to visit!

This lovely friendly coffee shop is decorated with cosy cushions and and array of different tables and chairs, and so much to see on the walls and above your head.The drinks are great quality and the staff are very friendly. Visited on Sunday morning.My only concern, was the many cyclists who visit this venue without a thought or consideration for others, and the lack of respect to the owners, as they all crowded in for a coffee/cake with very muddy backsides after cycling through many rural lanes, with the weather being pretty wet.... I think its just not on, of course the staff cannot say anything as they would lose their custom, but its just disrespectful...and blocking the pavements outside is pretty selfish too, someone in a mobile scooter who have no chance of getting through, there were 5/6 bikes all parked together, making it impossible to walk on the path, we had no option than to walk on the road.

Called in because Waitrose breakfast service was closed. Ordered a full breakfast and scrambled eggs on crumpets. Oh my! Those eggs were fantastic - beautifully buttery and tasty. My mouth is still watering. My husband's full breakfast was great quality although not huge. Lovely coffee too. Friendly and efficient service too. Well done Aroma Cafe - we'll be back.

Last minute decision to try something different !So we called in for lunch and it exceeded or expectations.We ordered cokes which arrived almost straightaway .We had also ordered omelettes and they arrived quickly.They were probably the best ones we had eaten for a long time - light and airy, the right amount of ok fries for lunch.When we go back we will try their cakes -they looked superb. This off the Waitrose car park and was certainly busiest food outlet around. Which speaks for itself.

We visited today on my wife's recommendation. It's situated in a 'new' building on the site of what used to be Bird's Garden Centre in the heart of Cowbridge (now adjoining a Waitrose supermarket). New on the outside but thoughtfully decorated inside using 'antique' style furniture and fittings. On the walls, old photographs of the area maintain a bit of a link to the passed history of Cowbridge.The tables are well spaced, so even when it got busy it didn't feel crowded.You choose your table and then order at the counter. The food is them waitress served.The menu included several vegetarian options, which was good as my wife doesn't eat meat.Poached egg on toast for around five or six pound though was a bit expensive. I ordered Pancakes which came with a poached egg and crispy bacon and maple syrup. Not a massive portion but again around six pound.Although this wouldn't necessarily put me off going back there.The cakes seemed to be better value. A large Custard Slice (enough to share) was just under £3. And the offerings of cake served to other diners seemed very generous too.The decor is welcoming and different. Walls covered with old mirrors, old advertising signs and prints, with wooden floorboard effect flooring. Each of the tables and chairs were different. Some old stout wooden kitchen tables and some marble topped all added to make a quant and comfortable setting. The uniformed staff were friendly and efficient and the service was very prompt.It's not a greasy spoon and it's not a 'plastic' fast food or coffee house chain.It sits quaintly in-between the two and is well worth a visit.

Always good value food and good coffee here. Friendly service. A busy establishment, so sometimes you need to be patient for food, but good once it arrives. Great choice of good value food and great for kids with a toy corner.

Visited today and have been here a few times. its very clean and has a 5 star rating for food safety. coffee and food are lush good setting. a bit dissapointed it closes so early in the afternoon. we used to call in at 4.30 to have tea during the summer however this year its closed at 4.30pm or earlier such a shame

Been regularly visiting this cafe since it first opened and it's become our regular. It has the best coffe in town and their snacks/cakes are great. The staff are always very welcoming and polite. This cafe provides a pleasant alternative to the larger national cafe chains.

We have been before and was happy to find it open on a Sunday.We were welcomed by the staff who took our order cake was lovely I had a piece of chocolate fudge cake.Very nice a lovely sunny day the windows were open very relaxing.We now know it's open Sunday's so will do lunch here soon.

An excellent locally owned cafe. Friendly efficient staff.First class traditional breakfast. Well cooked and with good quality ingredients. Best coffee (Americano) in Cowbridge.Great Welsh cakes. The nougat 'twists' are sadly nearly irresistible. As is the fruit bread - made according to the owners mother's recipe.Good atmosphere.I am a local and go often fro breakfast, lunch or a coffee.

Café Aroma is ideally situated in the heart of Cowbridge. The menu offers a good selection of snacks, home made cakes and meals. Staff are friendly and there is generally a good atmosphere where visitors can enjoy a relaxing break with good coffee.

Lovely cafe! Great for a coffee and a panini! Staff are very friendly. Please go if your looking for a lovely coffee in cowbridge this is your place

My favourite coffee shop in Cowbridge. I always recommend this place to anyone who asks. The atmosphere is great and the staff are always friendly. I love the coffee they serve and it is consistently good.

Third and last time to this cafe - really impressed the first time not so the 2nd time and not at all 3rd visit. Almost £20 for two omelettes with a handful of cold chips- 1/8th tomato and few wilted pieces cress!! A coffee (which was really good) and tea for one! The chips looked as tho they had given up the will to live - complained and some more were served really hot and very quickly. Omelette quite dry even with the help of cheese! Where have the mini fryers gone? lacking presentation.

Good menu, including plenty of choice for children. Didn't have to wait too long for our food. Jacket potato was very nice. They keep a small selection of toys and books for children. This kept my daughter entertained. Worth a visit if you're shopping in Cowbridge.

As a Large family visiting the area I can't thank you enough for being so helpfull in not only seating the 10 of us at rush hour but also being so attentive to our special needs son who is gluton intolerant. I have never and I mean never experienced such a thought full and accommodating establishment in making sure that our experience was one to be remembered. Thank you so much! Ps the grub was great too!

The first visit here was very good, had the burger and it was delicious, frequent visits were made but then the recipe /consistency changed and I am sorry to say the burgers were very poor, obviously different chef or different supplier.Pie of the day has always been corned beef when I have been there and whilst it is good, on my last visit it was a smaller portion and at a guess, I would say microwaved, sorry but I believe for the price that is not acceptable, especially the meagre slice that I was given.The staff have always been very polite and the service the majority of the time has been good.Will I visit again? Not for a while I think.

We decided to eat here after reading the good reviews big mistake! I had a chicken salad and my friend a smoked salmon salad, the chicken was dry, rubbery and tasted fishy (clearly out of date) the portion size was ridiculous a small amount of lettuce not even a handful maybe 4/5 circles of chicken, some sour dressing drizzled over the top, a soggy ring of pepper slopped on the top, soggy cucumber and tomato and some pickle tasting red onion, not fresh at all! Oh and did i mention the stale half a baguette on the side. My friends salad was not much better fishy tasting salmon and some stale brown bread! Staff clearly do not care! I did speak to the waitress about our meal and got attitude about it stating that the chef said it was all fresh no reason to taste like that (so were we lying?) Over priced! Stay clear much better places to eat in cowbridge!

My son and I have been using this lovely little cafe in Cowbridge for quite some time now. The staff and service is excellent, and all the food is home made and delicious. The prices are extremely good value, and I recommend this cafe to those who fancy a nice meal with or without the family.

We popped in here for a quick cup of something whilst in Cowbridge for the Vale of Glamorgan Farmer's Market - a good find. It was full up when we arrived but the really helpful waitress (manageress maybe?) suggested that if we waited a table would soon become available, she was really cheerful and sure enough it wasn't long before we got a table. All the food we saw being served looked really good and our baked potatoes were spot on. Mine came with the tuna whilst my wife had the baked beans with cheese option. Both nicely presented and with a small side salad. Really tasty and substantial. The pot of tea for two came with additional hot water and the offer of more hot water and milk if we wanted it. It was £15 for the two of us but given the quality and quantity this didn't seem unreasonable. Nice atmosphere and great staff. Will definitely be going back next time we're in Cowbridge.

Found this coffee shop on a shopping trip to Asda as it is in the same area. Very nice layed back place to have coffee and cake friendly staff.

My wife and I had brunch there yesterday. She had the pancakes with maple syrup and bacon and I made my own breakfast. The food was great. The pancakes are very thick and the bacon crispy. The breakfast was good, although next time will order 2 sausages. £1 buys you one. I ordered a cappuccino which wasn't the best one that I'd ever had, but the food, ambiance and service made up for it. I will definitely go again. Parking is also easy.

We stopped off in Cowbridge for a quick lunch yesterday (Sunday). Saw a Cafe Nero as we parked up in Waitrose but spotted this place a few doors down so thought we would give it a go instead of a large chain establishment. Glad we did as the decor was lovely, old fashioned tables&chairs, window seats with cosy cushions etc... and the staff were very friendly. There was plenty of food & beverage choice and breakkie is served all day. Being a veggie, I find it is difficult to find places which serve decent veggie sausages but these were good, the mushrooms were also delicious. It came with toast and as a tomato hater, I was glad there were none in sight although there is an option to make up your own breakfast choice and you can opt for them there. The cakes on display looked very tempting but I was too full after the breakfast to try any. My fiance had a pulled pork roll which came with a choice of fries although it wasn't a brioche bun as advertised. Nice little cafe and I would definitely go again, yeah it was a little pricey but no more than Costa for example. The only downsides, if you are being mega picky were that if it is a sunny day (very unusual in the UK I know) it can be blinding if you are in the window seats facing outwards as I don't think there are any blinds. Also, there is only one toilet which opens directly off the cafe right at the back of the seating area and you have to wait outside near other diners if it is occupied plus you can hear the chain flushing/hand drier so try to avoid sitting here if it isn't busy perhaps.

Cosy atmosphere, papers, very popular and so busy. The downside was a wait of 40 minutes at lunchtime for an all day breakfast. I had pancakes, bacon and egg which was well presented and had quality ingredients. Very tasty. Slightly on the expensive side maybe at £15 approx for a full breakfast, my pancakes and a pot if tea for two. Good location opposite Waitrose.

We found this very pricey for the food and drink on offer. It cost over £11 for a cup of tea, a small latte and two pieces of cake! The cake was edible not too sweet but nothing special but didn't justify the price. The surroundings were pleasant and the food hygiene was 5, so very good. The menu choices were not clear at all and as other reviews have mention there were no prices on the cake displays. I know many places in Cowbridge are over priced because they can get away with it, but it left a sour taste knowing you've over paid for what was average fare. Next time we visit Cowbridge we'll seek out somewhere else

Fab. coffee and proper sandwiches - came with small salad garnish and little tub of french fries and was a meal in itself. Lovely decor - something different and very good service. Thoroughly recommend.

Visited today on a friend's recommendation. I'm really fussy about cooked breakfast but this was really good - quality sausages & bacon. Full breakfast was priced reasonably at £6.25 but I particularly liked the 'build your own' option. If I was being really picky (& I do tend to be when it comes to breakfast) it could be improved by having warm plates, putting the beans on the plate last & not putting the beans next to the tomato or toast on the plate - not a fan of beans running onto the toast. Yes, very picky...I would definitely go back. The service was warm & friendly; the decor sets it apart from other formulaic coffee shop chains & the menu has something for everyone. Have to say that other people's lunches looked lovely too & they have a fantastic choice of cakes.

What a comfortable, family friendly café! This was our first visit and won't be our last.The staff couldn't have been nicer and my corned beef pie was wonderful.Really fresh salad with homemade coleslaw and lots of yummy cakes.Mmmm. . .Oh and they have a toy corner too!!!

Considering it's a new building the decor is really interesting. The food is freshly cooked, really good menu, appealing to men especially. Service can be a bit slow when busy.

A great restaurant for a satisfying snack or meal. Spotlessly clean interior and lovely modern decor. Staff were courteous and pleasant.Food offered was good value.Both my wife and I left restaurant fully satisfied with our meals.When next in Cowbridge I would certainly visit Cafe Aroma, whether for a snack or meal.

I went to Aroma Cafe on recommendation to purchase a local product.I wished for four and they only had one. The manager offered to order the remaining three and drop to a more local pick up point for me.This was the first time that I had been there and surely will not be the last.This was a service above and beyond what was expected. All of the staff I spoke to had the same positive attitude. I cannot praise this business enough.

A great alternative breakfast place in Cowbridge. I had the pancakes which came with bacon, a poached egg and maple syrup - 10/10. I also had a chocolate and peanut butter frappachino which was ok, could have had more flavour and some peanuts/chocolate added(or more) rather than just a syrup. The service is brilliant and quality of the food is high.
