Aromi in Cambridge

I have been a Aromi's customer for quite a while already. The food and coffee were nice. There are different food options available, depending on your budget. The staff were nice, as always. Glad that the environment and toilets were clean, otherwise it will be a disaster, a biohazard for everyone. As the cafe is so small, the tables are close to each other. Unfortunately it's inevitable, as it's a small cafe located at Cambridge town centre. Rent must be high. Overall it's nothing to fault about.

Saw the new pumpkin one online and know I have to try it. Love the earthy mellow sweet golden gooey puree with a touch of savory cheese. The pancetta is delightful. The rosemary goes perfectly with everything. The dough is beautiful as always. Crunchy crust and bouncy inside. Staff can be a little more friendly and patient comparing with the other shop.

I went for a starter - The spinach arancini was bland & flavourless - it tasted as though I was just eating oil or they’d just been microwaved. I had a really bad reaction to it afterwards & spent the evening with an upset stomach - Quite let down as it’s a nice atmosphere, now am just spending the evening being & feeling sick.

Very nice flatbreads. Caponata is superb, Zucchine is very good, and the margherita is also quite nice. I thought the *vegetarian* arancini was a bit average. Can’t fault the service. Food is a bit on the pricier side, but with fresh ingredients, homemade items and fairly large portion sizes I think it’s worth it. Highly recommend 👍

Another amazing lunch. I don't know how you do it but it is always delicious. Amazing. And what a service too. 😘

Hands down the best place for a focaccia in Cambridge. The pistachio cookies are also to die for...

Best gelato outside of Italy! Come for the ice-cream and the coffee! Both superb. Highly recommend the pistachio gelato! Best I've ever had, extremely creamy and rich and not too sweet. I could live off it. P.s. The pizza slices could use some improvement, mine was abit damp/too moist and not much flavour.

Fantastic and authentic Sicilian cafe, serving great coffee and delicious cornetto and focaccia. Delightful service.

Incredible food and friendly staff. I am a local seeing how hard they work everyday to make your experience better, clean the shop till late evening. You can trust this shop fully and if you haven’t already tried their delicious pizza slices, pop in! It can get quite busy during the weekends so the atmosphere could get loud but that’s just the nature of eating out.

It is one of the greatest places for Italian sandwiches and pizza. Very tasty food and pastries. Value for money. The location is good, and the place is very cozy. Friendly and helpful stuff. Perfect for dine in or takeaway.

Chocolate ricotta cake is so good, I’ve tried to copy it but never succeeded

Really enjoyed the coffee and lemon cake. Very good selection of Italian savouries. Pleasant atmosphere.

Don't go to Cambridge on a regular basis but would definitely visit this place again. Very nice.

Great Italian food mainly pizzas, calzonni and Italian sweets. Coffe is great too. Should be visited however their is a lot of competition now in Cambridge so the standards are rising everywhere else and the choices are much wider now. So in terms of uniqueness and amazing food unfortunately not the case in this place. Their ice cream is worth a try but incredibly expensive.

Excellent Sicilian arancini. Welcoming and friendly service

Service is quick and friendly. Food is very good. Excellent lattes. All around great!

Stopped by for an ice cream, opted for a scoop of the Pistachio (I've heard great things!). It was absolutely delicious, creamy and not too sweet. The queue moved quickly and the staff were pleasant. I took mine to sit in the little churchyard around the corner - take a left and you'll see it on the right.

We came as a family of 6. Kids had ice cream, and adults had coffee and cake. The pistachio cake was lovely! Staff were great. It gets very busy here.

Aromi used to be my ‘place to go’ when I missed Italian food. I have to say I have not been there in a while and as this morning I was caught in the rain I stopped by for a coffee and my absolute favourite spianata Nero. I realised at the first bite, with great disappointment, that the focaccia was completely different from what I remembered. The quality of the bread it is, possibly, the only thing that remained unchanged. No olive paste any longer, cheese unmelted and some sort of unflavoured sun dried tomato. What a bummer. I am not sure why the ingredients have been changed, but it is certainly for the worst. £7.90 for that is not worth. I pointed that out to the cashier on my why out and I am writing this here: people do not change what is working!!!!!!! The olive flavour made the Nero!!! I then went to the bathroom oh lord, people it was disgusting!!! Wee everywhere!! As I used to work at the place many moons ago, I remember that although the place was extremely busy, the toilet were regularly checked and cleaned up. Visibly it is no longer the case!!! Also all the tables were Not wiped once the customers left. One could argue that the staff was busy serving customers, but no, there were no customers in the place!!! I gave the feedback to the cashier, but she was completely disinterested, and had no idea that the product changed. She confused olive oil with olive paste. This poses the question about the Cafe's policy when to dietary requirements and allergies!!!! I have to say, standard, cleaning and service in general have deteriorated. Massively! Shame, it used to be good!!!

The food is amazing, authentic Italian and it's delicious. Prices are ok, a bit expensive but that's expected. Service is very slow and can be very unorganized, be ready to queue for a long time, even for a simple coffee or ice cream.

Friendly staff. Great range of tasty, savoury or sweet food. Perfect for a light lunch. Arancini definitely recommended. Personally I would have preferred the music to be a little quieter, or off completely, but it was not excessively loud. I will certainly be back!

Favorite place in town, I drive long way just for this place! 10 out if 10 every time I visit, delicious food, cozy atmosphere and lovely people working there!

Great pizzas and gelato. Kid's favorite place.

Aromi is one of the best gelato places in Cambridge. We had their orange gelato and it was amazing. The portions are extremely generous and you won’t regret going here. The staff is extremely kind and helpful too.

Best Pistachio gelato in the UK! Had one scoop of smooth and one of chunky pistachio on a Regular cone and the quantity was enough for 3 people! Great taste, highly recommended.

A lot of smoke,pizza is good,but takeaway bag IS MADE OUT OF PAPER!All the cheese and sauce sticks on the paper.something that I am really angry is that the waiter for order after one costumer,he goes away for like 2mins and comes again.on my turn,we said our order ,not when we finish ordering,he goes away and then he comes back and asked us the order again what kind of waiter is this?

Nice gelato, super friendly staff. It gets a bit busy in peak times

Amazing gelato and very generous portions! Let us try lots of flavours first - can recommend pistachio, hazelnut and grape!

I had incredible experience at a small Italian café. The cosy atmosphere and fleshly brewed coffee were delightful. The café also had delicious pastries, pizza, and ice cream. I highly recommend it for an authentic Italian coffee experience.

Our favourite place to eat ice cream, probably best in Cambridge.

This place has delicious food. Must try!!

Love love love. Lovely staff and the food is delicious.

Excellent pizza, as always!! Today a really good surprise: Uva Fragola ice cream! So good 😋

The Asian guy at the Aromi who served ice cream was very rude, no courtesy. Did not answer appropriately.

Nice Italian cafe, with great quick food and coffee! Super friendly staff.

Ordered an arancini since the vegetarian pizza choice was sparse and it was microwaved which made it chewy and oily, as well as unevenly heated. Drinks ticket got lost so didn’t get drinks until on the way out

Gelato spilled in doorway when we arrived, still there when we left. Our food arrived, but our drinks didn't, had to change them to takeaway. Americano very weak. Poor customer service, no mention of where to get cutlery until our food had arrived. Dirty tables not cleared. Could smell the toilets from our table. Disappointing visit.

The best chocolate croissants in town

Delicious and affordable for a quick snack. Italians run it.

brilliant coffee shop and ice cream (gelato) and pizza parlour by the grafton for lunch and coffee on any day. feels italian. priced accordingly. can get very busy and have queues at peak times during the weekend.

Best gelato in Cambridge. Staff are very polite and nice. Good atmosphere to have a nice time with nice people. Can easily recommend😊

Love this Aromi even more than the 2 by Market Square. Quieter, less tourists but same wonderful food and friendly staff.

Lovely lovely yummy so good!!!!!!

Gelato is very delicious! The queue was long but worth the wait!

Delicious food. Pistachio croissant is one love!!

You don't have me ordering on Deliveroo. HI

Great little caffe, friendly staff and music. We had ice cream, recommending mango and strawberry. Lovely coffee aroma latte, this could be a bit hotter.

Excellent Italian gelato options, staff very kind to kids and families, except BGM a bit too loud for sensitive ears. We asked another nearby cafe if they have ice cream, unfortunately they had not but instead recommended this place. Good suggestion!

Delicious authentic food, so much choice and really friendly staff

Staff , service and atmosphere are very nice and welcoming Keep the good work up and thank you

Love the pistachio hot chocolate. The croissants are always amazing. The filled ones are allway full. My last visit the hot choc was colder than usual. It was made with leftovers. I have no problem with that. But maybe it shouldn't have been used if the temp was below standard. I also didn't have cream. I like my drinks at about 120f. So I could drink it straight away. Which meant we didn't stay very long. My boyfriend drank his in one. But it's still a lovely place for food and drink. It was the first not so good drink I've had from here. So easily forgiven.

3 of us each had different drinks and a cake. We shared, they were all great choices. Have also eaten at their shop in central Cambridge. Again top notch food and drink.

Great place, amazing food and service !

Aromi is one of my favourite cafe in the UK due to tasty food & nice atmosphere

Fantastic place very good food really enjoyed fast service to really felt welcomed give it a try prices are good to

A must try for anyone visiting Cambridge

Loved the pistachio cake and little tartlets.

I LOVE this place. I live an hour away, and when I have to go to the hospital in Cambridge, I always make a stop here. Best cannoli I've ever had. The pistachio one is my favorite. Unfortunately today they forgot my margherita pizza, and my husband was all the way back home before we realized. They gave us the wrong sandwich, and forgot my pizza. I was super disappointed! And because we are an hour away, we could not go back to fix it. I'll still be back. I can't resist the pastries, gelato, and pizza. Just hoping they don't mess up my order next time!

Very slow service, the cookie with pistachio filling was ok, and the coffee was ok.

I reserved a panettone weeks in advance for the 24th of December. They never told me to pick up the order before a certain time. I arrived on the 24th at 12pm only to be told "oops we sold your panettone". No explanation, no offer to make things right, nothing more than a sorry. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement, this has ruined Christmas for me - I now have to run around town in search for an alternative because Aromi aren't able to honor their reservations. And to add salt to the injury, they still had my reservation note in the kitchen. I'm a regular customer, I love their food, but because of this I will avoid Aromi from now on.

One of the best lunches I've had while in Cambridge! Even on deliveroo so this will be ordering to work!

Having been to Aromi numerous times over the past few years, I can't help but rave about their incredible food. As a passionate lover of all things Sicilian-inspired, this cafe holds a special place in my heart. From their mouthwatering food to their delightful bakery treats and heavenly gelato, every bite feels like a journey to Sicily itself. When it comes to their gelato, my taste buds dance with joy over flavours like pistachio, dark chocolate, coffee, and tiramisu. Honestly, it's hard to pick a favorite because each one is a masterpiece in its own right. And let's not forget about their cakes – oh, those cakes! Moist, flavourful, and utterly divine. You must try their pistachios cake!!! Absolutely delicious 🤤 The icing on the cake (pun intended) is the wonderful staff. Their warmth and friendliness make every visit feel like catching up with old friends. Without a doubt, I can't recommend Aromi enough. It's a true gem that never disappoints.

Don’t go anywhere else for great coffee and amazing food. Fresh Italian open sandwiches with quality ingredients.

Loved the cakes but the pistachio hot chocolate was amazing.

Great food, reasonably priced. Quality.

On 31 December 2023 wwe had a late lunch. Managed to get sit just before the rush hour and order coffee and Margherita pizza, teramisu. Very tasty as always!!! Atmosphere is cheerful, friendly. Assistant /barista was serving is great Italian style! Same time way too loud.

Real deal Italian gelato mamma Mia. Coffee is great and feel free to enjoy the pizza bites

Absolutely amazing, ciabatta.I recommend the "cotta." Definitely, you have to try!!

Amazing pistachio cornetto (croissant), good coffee. We will try the pizza next time as they looked absolutely delicious 😋

Discovering Aromi was like uncovering a hidden culinary gem. Despite its modest size, this restaurant holds a treasure trove of Sicilian pizza varieties that left my taste buds delighted. The pizza selection is extensive, showcasing the authenticity and quality of Sicilian flavors. Each bite tells a flavorful story that transports you to the heart of Italy. The desserts, an equally impressive finale, complemented the savory experience perfectly. Aromi's commitment to taste and presentation is evident in every dish. The service, surprisingly swift for such a cozy spot, added to the overall satisfaction. From the warm ambiance to the delightful variety and efficient service, Aromi stands out as a delightful culinary haven. This hidden gem proves that size is no measure of flavor, making it a must-visit for those seeking an authentic Sicilian pizza experience.

It took forever for my cappuccino to arrive and when it finally did, it was lukewarm.

Always delicious fresh made pizza. Friendly staff and service. Comfy environment for chatting with friends or studying.

We popped in for lunch because the place looked busy and the food that was laid out, which we saw as we walked past on our way to another store to do some shopping first, looked really good. After a short wait in the queue, we ordered a Parmigiana Focaccia, a Caponata, and a hot chocolate. They charge one rate for eating in and a lower rate for eating out/take away. We were worried we weren't going to get seated because the place was busy. However, we did find seating next to someone who was on their own. We did have to find our own seating. The food came fairly quickly, and it was hot. By which time, we struck up a pleasant conversation with the other person on the table and learnt of the Thick Hot Chocolate they do. It's a seasonal promotion. Even though they do not offer table service, I was able to get one of the team members to get a Pistachio flavoured Thick Hot Chocolate, and she arranged that I could pay on my way out. The Thick hot chocolate did not turn out to be Thick so I went to the counter, they agreed, and made a another one for me which was absolutely heavenly, devine, luxurious and any other superlative you can think of. The food was also very good, actually very tasty. We took half of the Parmigiana Focaccia home, then later that evening, we heated up in the microwave for 2 mins and ate it. It was just as good as when we had it in the afternoon. I found the staff to be very helpful & pleasant. There is 1 toilet, which is for men and women, and another for disabled and baby changing room. I would like it if they had a bigger seating capacity however, I appreciate that not every day is a busy Saturday afternoon in the run up to Christmas, which is when we went, meaning for other days and times, their current seating capacity maybe adequate. Total spent, £22.30 which includes the Thick Hot Chocolate 😀.

Great Service, Great Food!! Vegan was an option which suited our long time vegan friend. We were a walk in group and were seated immediately. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the food offerings. Even ordered a taxi for us after a great meal. Definitely recommended.

Tasty savoury baked goods. Dirty tables and apathetic staff (it was the end of the day)

With out doubt one of the best places to have lunch in Cambridge. Fabulous food and service that really sets a standard. Thank you.

It's one of my favourite places in Cambridge.

Been to Aromi several times over the years and it never disappoints. Thank you Andrea for the excellent customer service :) will be back soon!

The pastry was something completely new to me but I liked a lot.

Great food and service from the team here. Thoroughly recommend.

Great place to have deserts, pizza and different full of flavor coffees! I love the place, it’s one of my favorite and I highly recommend it.

This is an authentic family style Sicilian coffee shop with a great selection of coffee, dolci, and pizzas. We’ve tried their cappuccino and espresso on our second day in Cambridge and it was wonderful. Andrea showed utmost hospitality and generosity, which immediately created a very warm aura. We made it a habit of revisiting them every time we are in the area.

Wow, that ice cream was gigantic for its regular size! There were only a few options available, but they were absolutely delicious!

Pizza is always freshly cooked to order. Always tastes great. Our kids beg us to take them here in preference to anywhere else for lunch in town!

Very good pizza. I really enjoyed the dough and taste. The tomato was a bit too sweet for me, but that’s just personal. The place itself is nice with a good exposition but I found it a bit dirty. It would be good to clean it a bit more. Still I would recommend it for proper Italian food.

Les sandwiches sont bonnes et peu coûteuses.

Delicious food at reasonable prices, especially the caponata pizza!

Great food and amazing service! One of the best in Cambridge!

Just wanted to say how bad the service was today Sunday the 15th of January 2023. It was shockingly bad. Food never arrived and when I went to check after 15 minutes they said they threw away the order number, I said that doesn't sound great and she just ignored me, I than asked for a refund and after that she didn't even look at me and just pointed the card reader machine at me, not a single word of apology! I wasn't the only one complaining, other customers just walked out after waiting ages to order. The lady serving did not give a flying fish and when I said to one other colleague of hers that I will write an online review, there was zero response or interest. Will be posting it on your page on social media as well. In these struggling times I would have thought spending £25 on a coffee and pizza and ice cream would be exactly what businesses like this are crying out for in terms of customers but doesn't look like it with these folks. When I went to leave she just looked the other way as I want past 😊

Took my family for Gelato. Extremely expensive but worst of all, tiny portions. Even forced me to buy a portion for my toddler. Rude staff. Will not be going back as they are too possessive of their precious Gelato.

The arancini is delicious. But I was served ot on a saucer! It kept falling off the edges. I had to ask for a knife and sugar for my coffee and got my own serviette. I ate in. I asked for a bit of salad to go with the arsncini but I was told it isn't possible. Very unimpressive service.

I’ve been in here many times as it’s the perfect spot to sit down and eat to escape my partner dragging me around the Primark a couple of doors down. The shop itself is quite narrow and there tends to be a long queue, but it’s just testament to how good the food is. I visited today and had one of their fresh sourdough Margherita pizzas which was incredible, along with one of their chocolate Occhi De Bue’s and the best pistachio gelato I’ve ever had. The food was delicious and the although very busy, the service was excellent. ** I thought I’d just put a quick note on here, defending all of the staff following an altercation today with a disgruntled customer. The lady couldn’t deal with the fact that her card/voucher from last year no longer had any credit and the staff would therefore not be able to give her a FREE pizza. She berated the staff and mentioned she’d be leaving a scathing review - please disregard this if one appears - all of the employees dealt with her very politely and professionally despite her being in the wrong and when she returned, even GAVE her the free pizza to appease her, as she was clearly disturbing other customers.** I’ll certainly be back.

Came to Aromi after wandering round looking for some lunch. As soon as you walk in you are surrounded with the most delicious looking food. We chose a salami and mozzarella focaccia which were heated through and tasted incredible. There were so many more options to choose from as well. The coffee and cannoli was also lovely and we ended up buying a tin of coffee to take home. Wish there was an Aromi closer to home but if we ever return to Cambridge, Aromi will be our first stop.

The food here is incredible, of the same high quality as the other aromi in cambridge. The hot chocolates are to die for (hazelnut, pistachio) and the ice cream in the best in cambridge - classic italian flavours and you get your money's worth. However, I have only ever had negative experiences sitting in. The staff are far too overworked and the space is small, dirty and unkept. It gets very hot and loud and there is little space, so probably not accessible and not kid friendly.

Very tasty pizza, not badly priced. Queuing to pay took longer than actually cooking the pizza. The only negative is that although the food is kept behind a glass screen the flies can still get in and on a warm day there were several flies on the uncooked pizzas.

Lovely food thankfully. The two female counter staff yesterday (Saturday) were so rude. They were indifferent to serving and treated the customers with barely veiled contempt. Not a good experience.

AWESOME! Only eat here if you come toe the Grafton. The food and ice cream is amazing and good value for money too.

I unexpectedly enjoyed their focaccia. I thought it was too heavy because of the bread but it was delicious and not really that heavy.

Amazing food ✅ Amazing ice cream ✅ Customer service ✅ Amazing coffee ✅ Baby changing ✅ Disabled toilets✅ Definitely recommend coming here
