Aroma Coffee House in South Lanarkshire

Stopped here on our way home from Edinburgh. The service was friendly and there was plenty of choice. The bacon/sausage rolls we had were yummy. Had a takeaway coffee and a cake which was fresh and delicious. Everyone looked hard at work. Recommended!!

Aroma has some good points, good quality coffee tea soup and homebaking. But sitting in is always a letdown, service is disorganised and slow, hotdrink cups thick and small in volume. It could be so much better

Excellent wee cafe off A702. Terrific range of freshly made home bakes and a choice of three home made soups. The lentil and the sweet potato & coconut soups were outstanding. Fast friendly service too. We’ll be back soon!

I recommend Aroma for a coffee and a brillliant breakfast roll. Excellent service and value for money. Perfect.

We were visiting Biggar for the day so we decided to nip in here we had cakes coffees and a tea and we had my Black Labrador Tank with us . What an absolutely wonderful establishment they greeted Tank as if he was human many thanks for the water for him. Also all attention he got so nice to have such lovely and friendly staff paying attention to him and everyone else, you made us all feel so and welcome even other customers were lovely . Now the cakes wow, ginger cake for dad he said it was delicious tried to get a taste all gone, my mum and I had millionaire shortcake and partner Victoria sponge they were all lovely and £20 for the 4 of us was definitely worth money. Unisex toilet was nice clean and fresh . We will definitely be coming back here and trying some food it was that good ,friendly and welcoming all the ladies were so nice polite and could not do enough for all customers. Thank you and a woof from Tank

Very enjoyable brunch at Aroma. Food was tasty and so were the cakes. I wouldn't hesitate to go back if in the area. Dog friendly as well which was a bonus!

Visiting my partner from Edinburgh, walked into the cafe Amazing food and the lemon sponge was my favourite Will definitely be back again Best part about biggar!!!

I dropped in with my granddaughter recently for lunch. The menu covers a typical selection of breakfast and lunch items including soups, sandwiches, baked potatoes, filled rolls, paninis, etc Despite the fact that it was busy on arrival we managed to get a table, place an order and have this delivered in a fairly short timescale, in contrast to some visits in the past when service has been slow. All the staff seemed to be working to a purpose, were friendly and efficient! I had a couple of rolls with Lorne sausage (£2.95 each), whilst my granddaughter had a Coronation chicken sandwich which was served with a little salad, coleslaw and crisps (£5.50). We both enjoyed our choices, although the salad dressing wasn’t a hit (personal preference not to have it). Next up was a plain scone with butter (£2.60) and a slice of carrot cake (£2.30) with tea and coffee. The scone seemed to go down well but I thought the cake was a bit dry. Overall, decent enough lunch for around £20 for two. Unisex toilet was well maintained.

Excellent food and service. The fluffiest morning rolls and haggis was *chefs kiss* Be sure to try the cheese scones too! Thanks to the very pleasant staff!

Randomly stopped off for lunch whilst travelling, overall excellent! Friendly helpful staff, clean interior & nice atmosphere. Was quite busy though service still pretty quick. Couple of minor niggles stops it getting 5-stars, I had a cheese sandwich, was filled with grated cheese so as soon as you pick up most of the cheese falls out hehe. My partner had a jacket potato, skin not very crispy as if had been microwaved. Both meals were tasty though & excellent coffee. We'll plan to stop there for lunch again next time we head that way.

Popped in with my wife and two cocker spaniels and was really impressed with staff and food. Had eggs Benedict and my wife egg Royale with a mocha and hot chocolate . Finished with coffee and lemon cake and another cappuccino. Was spot on and reasonably priced for such a high standard. Will be back that’s a cert.

Best empire biscuit ever! Melted in mouth with just right amount of jam and icing. Paired with a delicious piping hot cappuccino. Ideal takeaway for watching rugby! Thank you.

Popped into Aroma on Sunday 2nd Oct to give them very short notice (15 mins) order of 20 filled rolls! Our group been let down at the last minute by a local establishment and even although they were very busy, Aroma went above and beyond! The variety of fillings were excellent and were all thoroughly enjoyed😋Thank you so much Team Aroma

Stopped off on the way back from Edinburgh, the aroma of coffee coming from the cafe drew us in. The Gluten-Free breakfast my wife had was good as was my eggs benedict. There was a wait for the food to be served, but we were informed of this when we ordered. So we had coffee & tea while waiting and more coffee once it arrived. (The coffee is very good) Staff all very friendly and the place was very busy.

I have been to Aroma twice before and had an overall good experience - notably at quiet times. Today is warm and I’m with a buggy and my 18 month old. I was thirsty so wanted to get an orange juice to take away and sit outside with. I lifted my 25lb toddler out of the buggy to save space for them while ordering. I was 3rd in the queue. I was singled out in the queue within 30 seconds of entering the premises and asked are you inside to which I said no at a table outside. She said ok I’ll serve you at the Hatch - absolutely fine I thought. I went outside to the hatch, still holding my toddler, I waited there on the step to the entrance to be served for 5 minutes in which time the same member of staff who banished me to the hatch served both the people who were in front of me in the queue and 2 people who were behind me in the queue - one of the people behind me in the queue had also been sitting outside - luckily for them they weren’t banished to the hatch. When service at the hatch didn’t happen after 5 minutes, I left. Still thirsty. I couldn’t hold my toddler still any longer. Don’t tell people you will serve them at the hatch and leave them stood with a toddler in arms for ages ignoring them. It’s rude and says you don’t appreciate how challenging it is to be out and about with under 2s. The community cafe in Biggar is so welcoming for all including families with young children. We will make sure we only go there in the future.

Awesome service. Great coffee. Fantastic selection of cakes and good sandwiches and food. Stopped off here 3 times in last 10 days whilst driving Cumbria to Edinburgh. The perfect place to take a break. Easy parking in the town and right on the main road,...

Had lunch here with my daughter today. Really nice decor, clean, and lovely customer service. I had a baked potato, and daughter had French toast with bacon. Both were delicious. Would definitely visit again. Thank you!

Dropped in with few friends out on bike run staff were spot on very friendly and helpful the food was exactly what we we’re after and very nice with it definitely be in again .

Was good / food lovely and service good. No rush to leave or encourage you to leave. Good selection to choose from. - well done.

A big, fried breakfast, French toast with bacon and eggs benedict with smoked salmon were our choices. All freshly cooked in generous portions and delivered promptly. We left very satisfied. Good prices too, and charming, attentive staff. Well worth a visit.

Friendly staff, served a tasty Mocha and the scones we had were fresh and delicious. Thank you for your hospitality.

returning to Manchester from Edinburgh, popped in for breakfast - scrambled eggs on toast and coffee. Very friendly service, quickly served and delicious. This is a traditional place. Not fancy. but all done beautifully. delicious coffee - as good and better than the artisan places...

Brilliant service. Eggs Benedict to die for 😊. Full Scottish breakfast delicious. Really enjoyed blend of coffee which we’ve noted as Nairobi Shamba blend. Will definitely call in again if passing . Thank you . 👍

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic we would be fairly frequent visitors to the café which is located in the central part of the High Street. Parking outside or nearby on the street. We have ventured in a couple of times under “restrictions” and they have...

Pop in every time I pass through Biggar. Much earlier than usual today and delighted to see it open at 8am for a much needed breakfast. Delicious and served with a masked cheery smile ha ha. Perfect so thank you.

Food tasty but let down by service which was disorganised & slow especially the hot drinks with no clear leadership or direction being given

We popped in here for coffee in the afternoon. Waited quite a long time for two coffees, and when we enquired about whether our order had been forgotten, we got quite a curt response. When the coffee arrived, the milk was cold and not hot,...

Popped in here for a coffee and cake pistop. Was lunchtime and it was busy so we felt fortunate to get a table especially as was quite small inside. Track and trace details were taken by pleasant waitress. Order also by another pleasant waitress. Screens...

Stop over on the way to Edinburgh and found the Aroma Cafe by chance. The food and the service was first class and it was nice to see the staff sticking to the government guidelines regarding Cov'd. Their range of cakes and tray-bakes were first...

…we’re in there every weekend! Lovely paninis and a variety of soups. Great for gluten free, with the cheese toasties and French toast a favourite. Chocolate cake is naughty, though they have started skimping on the portions recently!

We can always count on Aroma for a first-rate breakfast, quality food and fast, friendly service. An essential asset to the town!

Came in to this lovely cafe after a long walk up Tinto Hill. Had a delicious roll with bacon and sausage and a lovely pot of tea and a malteser slice. Amazing selection of homebaking. Will be back. Thank you

Coffee and cake delicious. Not too expensive. Great home baking. As we had just been a big walk with the dog it was great that he was allowed in with us.

Stopped here for a cup of coffee and a scone on the way home from our holidays. Coffee was ok, scone was ok and service a bit slow. The service and the clotted cream coming in a wee jar are the reasons for only giving...

Have used this coffee shop multiple times out of convenience, on every occasion they are unfriendly, lack manners, and take forever to do anything. They will ignore you when you turn up, sullenly take your order, then stand around chatting for several minutes before thinking...

We found this fabulous little tea room by accident and we cant fault it. Lovely coffee fantastic cakes but above all great staff and service. Sitting outside, due to the CV19 the young lady who served us was pleasant and smiling. Will definitely go again.

lovely staff serving lovely food and drinks.......what more can you ask! Well done we'll be back for more

From the moment we entered the coffee shop, we were happy. We were warmly greeted, offered a table and received menus. There was a variety of snacks, with a great selection of drinks all at reasonable prices. The young ladies were friendly and accommodating with...

Dropped in to Aroma on while on our way to Edinburgh. The welcome we received was vary friendly and refreshing. The staff were very kind and the service we received was excellent. Food was very good and just what we needed. It was a please to visit Aroma.

Nice welcome on entry, shown to seat by a friendly lady. Lovely leek and potato soup. Nice crusty bread. Great service too.

Sully service food okay, coffee very poor Ordered a toastier and cream scone Coffee and scone delivered some 10 mins before toastie Locals treated well, visitors not so, won’t rush back

Second visit to this superb cafe. Spotlessly clean, friendly and very efficient staff, who serve with a smile. Food great. Bonus being our two small dogs are allowed to join us. Wish we had discovered Aroma sooner. Definitely our stop off place in future when in Biggar.

Me and my dad went in there for some food, the food was great, but there was an older lady that served us that tutted at us and seemed not very friendly with us. But everything else was fab.

We always stop here for breakfast, lunch when we are heading to Edinburgh which is frequent. Generally we are happy which is why we return. Today we had breakfast and bought some cake to take away which was at best meagre . It was tasty but felt disappointed as it was the size of a thin slice of bread. It was a young girl who served us and maybe some training about reasonable portions is required,

We have visited this cafe on a number of recent occasions on the way to visit my terminally ill uncle in Edinburgh. (Unfortunately the last visit was en route to a celebration of his life as he has passed away) Each time we visited we were warmly greeted and quickly given menus. We have sampled scones, paninis, sandwiches and soups as well as coffees and pots of tea. Everything we have had has been very tasty, sandwiches and paninis well filled and nicely served. All at reasonable prices.

Nice place to pop in for lunch or a coffee and cake. They cater for gluten free diets. The soup was delicious and you can add a bowl to most of the meals to give a heart but very reasonably priced meal. There can be a very long wait if you go when they are busy

Just stopped for a coffee in biggar. Lovely friendly coffee shop. Scone and jam freshly made. Dog friendly too

Went here for a coffee ordered 2 Cappuccino out came to cappuccinos that looked like they were just milk with a drip if coffee in them. Took them back out came the new ones just the same shocking. I drink Cappuccinos all the time this was not a Cappuccino.

If you’re en route from M74 to Edinburgh the attractive market town of Biggar provides an excellent pit stop with appealing independent retailers and food outlets. The Aroma centrally located on the high street offers quick and friendly service, a competitively priced if basic menu and lots of adjacent free parking. Good choice!

A walk round Biggar must be completed at the Aroma Coffee House, nice choice of scones/cakes with tea/coffee, pleasantly served. Worth a visit when in Biggar!

Unfriendly and poor service. Parts of the order were missing such as the jam and the milk, this I would excuse if there was a friendly and warm response from staff. There was not one smile from any member of staff or ANY attempt at warm interaction. We were not made to feel particularly welcome in fact, as customers we were insignificant really! It could have been the best food and drink ever BUT we will use one of the many other coffee shops next time. There are better places to spend your money.

Had to stop for breakfast as left Edinburgh early to travel to The Lakes district. Stopped at this cafe on our way. Service was great and the cafe food delicious. The eggs Benedict perfect. Great coffee. Very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere 😀

We stopped here for takeaway coffee and cake on the way through Biggest and both members of staff we were served by were abrupt almost rude. This was not a nice experience and I will not be giving Aroma my custom again.

While in Biggar stopped off and had Coffee and snack. This was lovely friendly Coffee House and all staff very pleasant. Would certainly recommend.

The staff were very pleasant in this coffee shop, the coffee good and the Malteser slice was excellent. Service was prompt and with a smile. My only fault was being unable to pay with a Debit card. Bills under £10 had to be in cash. I can understand this for the use of Credit cards but was surprised that Debit cards could not be used. It was a Bank of Scotland Debit card.

This lovely coffee house is must place to visit This was my first visit and most definitely will not be my last, Great Coffee and as for the Baked Potato with there own homemade Coleslaw some of the best I have tasted even in the best restaurants would be pushed to make better WELL DONE

This is a great place to park the husband while shopping. They also do nice lunches. This has become our standard stopping place on trips to Edinburgh as well as Biggar itself.

Myself and my partner have just moved to the area and during a weekend wander we went into Aroma for a takeaway coffee and a cake. The young lady behind the counter (light brown hair) didn’t seem at all interested in us being there. Didn’t say hello, what can I get you just asked if we were sitting in or taking away it was said as more of a threat I would say. So we ordered our coffees, I said thanks very much with a smile to no reaction what so ever. We were quite put out by the icy interaction in this cafe, it’s not what you expect really. Either she’s working there for free and hates it or she just hates it. Very odd. The cafe does look like it could be a lovely place to be in if it weren’t for the icy ness of some staff, it feels like a real shame really. Do the owners care? I’d suggest sending staff to the chippy over the road for some training on customer service. We find the staff in there very chatty and happy to serve you and grateful for your custom.

Somewhat miserable waiting staff - someone should explain that a smile and an acknowledgement doesn’t cost anything.

Visited this cafe today with family and friends. Sad to say that the welcome was unfriendly bordering on rude staff. They were busy but I still felt no excuse for the grumpy almost careless service. The food I would give a 7/10 faulting it on portion size and temperature but praising the homemade coleslaw which was delicious. I am a bit of a tea expert and their loose leaf tea was slightly stale so I had to reorder. Great selection of desserts although some cakes were a bit dry. We ordered a lot of food with a big party of guests and tried to be pleasant in the few complaints we made but the staff were sadly stoney and lacked warmth and personality.

It was a cold day. As we parked our car we saw Aroma and went in. It was warm and we were welcomed. Service was swift and our soup was delicious and satisfying. The Aroma was well patronised and the atmosphere was happy . The minimum payment by card is £10, but there is an AGM within 40 yds. There is more to Biggar than initially thought.

The welcome was borderline rude. The waitress (short, blonde, unpleasant) appeared be on a break from working as a prison officer. The coffee was good but everything was in the wrong sized cup. Americano small. Flat white enormous. There’s a friendlier place up the road.

A white plaster's protective strip found in my egg mayo sandwich. I was attempted to complain about the plaster to staff but they avoid to deal with it, hence reported the incident to the local health and safety agency.

First time in this establishment and would return and recommend. Good choice of beveridges cakes scones and soup. Cheese scone was the best I have ever had in a cafe! Well done. Service prompt. Clean and tidy.

Had breakfast here as a random stop on our journey.

Aroma is not a bad cafe but you just feel it could be better - service could be a little quicker,warmer,portions a little more generous- coffee is good but cup size not huge for the money,soup similar There could be more savoury baking choices. All that said it is a perfectly pleasant place . Perhaps it is just a little tired

Stopped for a drink and a cake whilst passing through Bigger on the way to Edinburgh. Friendly service. Amazing selection of cakes - which tastes fantastic. Nice and clean cafe. Really recommend. Much better than the usual coffee shop chains.

We have been here a number of times and never had a problem. Sure they are busy at peak times or if they get a big party in but that’s to be expected.

Called in whilst driving home from Scotland. Had morning rolls (barm cakes to us) one with Lorne sausage(flat type of sausage) and haggis and the other a bacon and egg roll. Both were very good as were the tea and coffee. I also had gingerbread which was so good I bought another slice to take home. The place was clean and service excellent. Very good value. We'll come here again on our next trip.

Really not good! The middle aged blond haired woman who served us was grumpy & sour faced. The food was not even reasonable, poorly cooked, small portions, & we had to wait longer than 4 other tables that walked in after us. Filthy carpet, pretty tired looking place. Won’t be back! You need to uk your game folks!

Popped in for a cheeky coffee. Service was quick despite been busy. Comfy with a good choice on the menu and well priced.

When we asked what the soup of the day was, the waitress pointed to the out of sight board. The pea and ham soup had no ham in it and lacked any flavour of ham. We ordered a scone to share and waited for ever for it then, just like a bus, two came along. All customers were complaining about the waiting time. We certainly won't be going back

Called in early afternoon and had delicious hot bowl of soup and bread. Red pepper soup was excellent (and I am very hard to please with soup ). Piping hot and enjoyed every spoonful as did Hubby.

Visited for first time today, quiet when we entered but we were invited to take a seat and someone would bring menus. Within minutes we were given menus and someone was prompt to take our order a cheese n ham toastie and tuna baguette with soft drinks. Between entering and placing our order a coach had dropped people off in the town and coffee house had become busy, however our order was delivered within 10 minutes both lovely and fresh with a nice side salad including coleslaw. There was a lovely selection of cakes n scones on display but I had promised myself a visit to Taylor's so didn't have anything this visit but will definitely be back for something next time. Staff were efficient and friendly and could here them organising themselves for how they would deal with influx of customers.

The scones and cakes are good but the service is really dreadful. We must have been at least 8 times, probably more and every time thought maybe its an off day but it seems every day is an off day. The staff are totally disinterested. Maybe with training the younger members of the team could improve but looking at other feedback this has been a long term issue and they can't be bothered doing anything about it.

Odd that the nation turns to Costa to consistency and quality. Rather depressing, really. But after some sultry service at Aroma Coffee House, I propably just wont go back.

Aroma offers good home baking, coffee and a range of lunch options.It is spacious and service is pleasant. Coffee is very good, it would be nice to get a larger cup or a top up if sitting in- take away is much better value re this.

it is ok and crowded they could do with losing three tables to give some space to everybody, but what do I know. The place gets full of teenagers hogging tables.

Stopped for a fruit tea and slice of cake...I have not tried anything else on the menu but there was a varied choice... I enjoyed my choice, but it would have been even better if the staff had been friendly and smiled, but can't fault my morning treat.....

This café is possibly the most obvious in the High Street (the others being Kirkstyle Courtyard, The Gillespie Centre, The Coffee Spot and there are a few tables to sit-in at The Olive Tree).

Great wee cafe with excellent coffee, cakes and pastries. You can also have a good meal here--the breakfasts are delicious!

staff nice and friendly - went for a coffee and tea cake. enjoyed it very much nice place the menu...

Visited for a spot of lunch and was not disappointed. We had sandwiches and my partner had the soup with...

This was an unplanned visit after an appointment in Biggar. Lovely inviting facade called me! I was greeted by staff...

Our first visit to Biggar and as the café was fairly full, assumed it was going to be a good...

Friends had recommended the gluten free coffee and walnut cake to me, finally I got a chance to come by and have some today! Beautiful! Thank you very much guys.

Popped in for a cuppa and scone,my husband had black pudding roll both were excellent,scones lovely and fresh.

Lovely contemporary Scottish feel. Very helpful and friendly staff. Superb scones and cakes. Just what is needed after a hard afternoon sight seeing.

We ordered soup with crusty bread and a toasted sandwich with tap water to drink and waited over 20 minutes for it to be brought out. what we got was tasty but the service was slow to the point of irritation. Not amused to be charged an extra 50p for paying by card!

Stopped here for a cuppa and a slice of cake. Very quick service, spotlessly clean and friendly staff. Really good value.

Had lunch on a family outing. Good soup, great Scottish breakfast and they didn't bat an eyelid at my sons request for a ham, cheese and Marie rose prawn sandwich. Great place for a nice lunch

I used to go there all the time but we have stopped going as often because it is getting more expensive every time.

Passing through Biggar looking for a coffee shop. There was a parking space on the street outside so ventured in. It was quite quiet, we looked at the cake cabinet and the waitress asked us to take a table and gave us menus. We had Eggs Benedict and a Tuna Mayonnaise Baguette, an Americano coffee and Fruit Tea, then 2 traybakes and another coffee. £22.85. The food was good, the homemade tray bakes excellent and the coffee ok - not much crema on top. The service a bit impersonal, the unisex toilet could do with a freshen up - a coat of gloss paint on the skirting board and around the WC would help.
