Cafe Aroma in New Forest

Great coffee and a very friendly greeting from all the staff. Friends had an "early breakfast" which they enjoyed (and not for the first time) which was good value too.

Great Friendly Customer Service 👌

Absolutely awful place waited 60 mins for food had 3 kids with me had two members of staff come up to me and tell me it wouldn’t be long but yet still waited 30 mins and the price of food in there is ridiculous do not go in there!!

Our first visit was for 'Brunch' with my elderly mother and brother. We had a variety of drinks and sandwiches, all of which were perfectly presented and serviced with a smile. I decided to come back the following morning for breakfast with my other brother. What impressed me was the service and interactions we had with the team. Great portion sizes and value for money. Seating inside and and outside.

Absultly wanderful place, great food, amazing drinks. Had the best service there ever. I recomend to everyone.

Great atmosphere. quality food, clean environment. I recommend for everyone 🌸🌸🌸🌸

Fantastic cafe ! Great well cooked tasty food, generous portions and fairly priced. Excellent service by very polite and helpful friendly staff ! Don't hesitate!

We come to aroma every Sunday for a breakfast and are always greeted with a warm welcome the staff are friendly helpful and smiley highly recommend for any meal of the day 😀

BEST place in Ringwood for an all day Breakfast. Also good and helpful staff. Thank you.

Cafe Aroma in Ringwood is a great place for a family and good choices on the menu like all other Aroma's. Staff friendly, food great and location good. The atmosphere is very different from our usual Cafe Aroma in Poole which has an electric personal vibe even if you are a newcomer. But overall happy and love the outdoor seating.

Very noisy - music too loud and accoustics magnified background noise. Couldnt hold conversation.First capuccino had to be returned nearly all milk. Meal had to be returned. Luke warm tough and unchewable. No apology. Money taken off but card reader slammed down on counter. 1st and last visit. Expensive.

Been here numerous times - good honest food, good portions, fair price, friendly attentive staff constantly delivering a great service. 10/10

Went to the new Ferndown cafe for breakfast with some friends. Ordered breakfast that came out fast and was given the bill at same time . Half way through eating the waiter tried to take the plates away ( like trying to hurry us up ) , when we did finish the plates was taken away before you could blink Then a man ( think owner or boss ) came upto the table and pushed the bill under our nose and made comment it’s nice out side, he then pointed to the pay desk and said that’s where you pay ( we was being pushed out ) the cafe was only half empty and no one queueing to get in . Overall experience was once you eaten get out .

What a great venue, well done. Absolutely stunning venue however the food extremely expensive. Happy to pay but very poor quality. So sad. Don’t like to say this but £9.95 to a small sandwich too much.

Met a friend for lunch about a week ago, and we both had one of the daily specials. Not fancy, but very tasty and filling. Good service, quick and efficient. Good food for a moderate price.

Worst Sunday roast ever had .overcharged too. Absolutely tasteless food. Soggy Yorkshire pudding placed under the gravy and beef . Tasteless beef and veg. Beef tasted boiled . Hand written scrawl of a receipt out on table . Barely readable . Worked out when home that overcharged by about £10. Is this why they don’t have itemised bills ? Good trick. These guys Should stick to cafe food and not pretend to be a restaurant too. If you can’t season or make an English roast dinner then don’t do it. Beer way overpriced too. Gave it a go as a new business to the town but never again . Far better places out there .

Been to Ferndown today excellent layout and friendly staff I call it AromaSpoons but of course it is cafe aroma new business moved into the old NightJar. The wheelchair ramp needs rethinking it is too steep but everything else is fine. Food is great and plenty of room. They do everything in reason just ask or look at their menu. Bar looks really well designed.

we came upon this by chance, and feeling famished we decided to pop in. A nicely laid out place plenty of room. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food was served up very quickly and tasted very good. Would recommend this place. The toilet was very clean and well presented.

We usually have lunch here & we were shocked by how much they have raised the prices. My partner ordered cod & chips & received some grey looking fish🤮. We will take our business elsewhere from now on.

Great service, great food, great people

Spacious indoor/outdoor café/restaurant with friendly staff, good food and a nice atmosphere. Great for a quick coffee or a multicourse meal when you're in town or even as a special trip. The fried breakfasts are excellent, the mushrooms & the sausages in particular are very tasty indeed.

Very friendly and accommodating staff - every request was answered with a “yes” :-) Felt very welcomed and comfortable. Food was delicious and the ice creams are AMAZING - why can’t other places to eat off such yummy food and a sensible price like Aroma. We liked the place so much, we went back the next day. From friends from Oxford :-)

Hands down the best breakfast in ringwood for the money, good food and good portions, will be back for sure!

Great for a bit of breakfast, good service.

Decent tasty well-cooked grub, friendly service, clean and good prices. What more could we ask? :) Another plus is that the front of the restaurant gets decent afternoon sunshine, we almost sat outside in March :)

Ordered a continental breakfast while out with my friends. Everyone's food starts coming out individually while I'm still waiting. Cooking an English breakfast has a lot of moving parts so i was expected it to take a little longer, but after another 10 minutes of waiting after the point my friends have all already got their food I ask if my food is still on the way to a waiter, who tells me yes, it is. A minute later the waiter comes back and asks what it was I ordered(!). Weird thing to ask after telling someone they knew it was on the way! I tell them again and they say it's coming and leave. I then hear them walk around to the kitchen and ring the order in for the first time. By this point it's been about half an hour, my freinds have almost finished their food. Not wanting to sit their eating long after my freinds have finished I find the waiter and tell her to cancel it. All in all, an hour experience to get 1 cup of tea that frankly wasn't that great! Not to rag on literally everything, but paying 2 pounds for a cup of tea that arrived a tiny bit better than luke-warm isn't great. It came with far too much milk, and someone had clearly not even bothered to stir in the milk after pouring. Paying and checking out wasn't a great experience either. the guy taking the payment was notably annoyed that we wanted to actually split the order and pay for what we got (especially after the food jnot arriving). At first he tried to insists on just dividing the bill by the number of people and letting us handle working out who actually paid what. But by that point I had given up and had left it to my friends to handle it Think I'll give the place a miss

Excellent food and fantastic service

staff never come outside to take orders sometimes waiting 10 mins then got go inside to order, dont have an outside if staff dont want to go outside.

The quality of the food seems to have gone down hill. Used to love coming here for a fry up, however after today the fried egg was over cooked in a ring piece, the sausage was girthy but short and low quality, the hash browns were mushy, and the coffee was very milky without any flavour.

Good quality meals and snacks at affordable prices with very friendly staff.

Busy & buzzy on a Saturday morning. Lots of regulars. Plenty of tables, inc outdoors, fully occupied on a rare sunny autumnal day 😀

Good food Staff all were exceptional cannot fault their attention to detail and looking after you Worth a visit when in Ringwood

Sat down opposite the till for ten minutes, no service , loud rude short grey haired server shouted at some other diner that it’s table service but clearly it isn’t because I was ignored , menu offered but begrudgingly only. Left without ordering and won’t recommend

Stopped for a cream tea yesterday, when asked where was the cream. Was told I would have to pay extra for the cream. Surely a cream tea includes the cream

Food was average and bit overpriced, i think this is down to the amount of staff that were working. Some staff friendly some seem a bit rude. But also staff didnt have alot to do as there was so many of them and were sat at the tables looking at you made me feel uncomfortable

Havent been here for a couple of years. Went in for a collection order, wow I was a little disappointed to say the least. The omelette I got for my mum was over done, and the bacon on my maxi breakfast was like the leather soles of some hobnail boots. Poor

There is no sourdough here, unlike all the other establishments in town. Its just good quality breakfasting. We had the egs benedict on bagles, They were really nice. Some of the other "full English " that we saw were enormous plates of food. Really great service given how busy they were and good VFM.

Very nice place. Breakfast & coffee very good. Good value.

It was ok! My son’s coffee and walnut cake was presented beautifully, however the taste didn’t match as it was really dry. Service was friendly but we probably wouldn’t hurry back.

Decent breakfast, good service, reasonably priced.

Bad service, overcooked food and very overpriced for what it is!! Wouldn’t go back and wouldn’t recommend to anyone either.

A must if visiting the area and wanting a fry up, good food and friendly service

This was a very nice restaurant and the food was very nice.

Stopped by for a breakfast. Impressed with the speed of service and the Full English breakfast. The coffee was excellent, nice and strong

My daughter had the waffles they were amazing

Poor service and food. Egg looked like it had been dropped on the floor. nobody asked if food was ok. The egg was left and when they collected we commented that the egg should never have left the kitchen. the response was...well lots of people like them like that. If a customer says they are unhappy about something you expect an apology not a rude sarcastic reply. sauce watered down and tasted awful. will never return and will never recommend. customer service training needed i think

Always stop here on a ride out that goes near Ringwood. Room for motorcycle parking almost outside and great staff inside. I take back what I said about parking, £75 fine for parking near here! Won't be stopping there again.

Lovely little cafe lovely variety of food and drinks enjoy coming here for crispy duck baguette

What a lovely , friendly cafe restaurant. We had breakfast here yesterday morning. The young lady that served us was constantly smiling. The place itself is very clean and the food superb. Give this place a go. Support local ! Very good value, good portion sizes and dog friendly.

We stopped for an ice cream. It was lovely. The staff were friendly, and the price was good.

The cafe is great. It's a nice place to grab a bite or drink. Don't go off menu tho as this cafe not a bistro. They serve good Basic food.

We always eat here when we visit! Those sundies were lush, excellent presentation of food.

Very nice food good prices, friendly atmosphere

Fantastic food lovely staff nice cafe

Food was hot, fast and fresh. Service was great. Plenty of choice. Good stop before a long trip home. Nice atmosphere. Try it!

This cafe is well managed staff always attentive and nothing to small to make everyone visit enjoyable . Food freshly cooked full breakfast was top mark not just for the amount but the quality of food they use cafe tidy and clean so can't fault them . Plus I notice they had top hygiene rating too so we'll done guys

Very friendly staff and excellent service. Good food reasonably priced.

A favourite of mine and my son. We go here often for good food at a reasonable price.

Has a new menu and prices have gone up drastically. Not value for money

Great and speedy service, good food and at an affordable price.

Had a really nice lunch catch up with a friend from work. Not been before. Really yummy toasted tea cake and a cuppa in comfy chairs. Perfect lunch. Same time next week.....

Friendly staff I have often come to this cafe as it place of memorys when I used take my wife to before she died July 25th 2020

Poor service and under cooked food

Always great service, lovely food & drinks

Staff always friendly . Good value for money.

We decided to go out fro breakfast and Cafe Aroma was the first place we came across. The place was busy when we walked in so we sat at a small table opposite the kitchen. We ordered 1 tea, 1 coffee, 1 Maxi Breakfast and 1 late breakfast without tomato. The drinks were served promptly. They already had added milk to the tea which is unfortunate as people like to take it differently and this was not to my taste. While we were waiting for our food we witnessed several plates being returned as items had been added that had not been wanted. I witnessed the cook move other items on to another plate and sending them back out. This could have had severe consequences if the customers had requested the items not be included due to an allergy. When our food was served it seemed to be excessively greasy, items such as the fried bread had been cooked in oil. Obviously I did not eat it. A waitress came over and asked if I was finished (while my partner was still eating) and I told her of the problem. Her response was "oh really" in a disinterested tone. She took the plate and did not report the issue to the kitchen and more importantly did NOT apologise. I also noticed that a Mr Muscle bottle had been reused for a different substance (Mr Muscle is not dark green) which is a Health and Safety No no! This had been intended as a treat for my partner and I. However, we left with a bad taste in our mouths for a number of reasons.

Always good, fast, efficiently run, tidy, clean, will always support local

Good cafe, lovely staff. An asset for ringwood

A clean, decent cafe with plenty of choices at a reasonable price with fast, friendly service. I've been to this Cafe 3 times now and had decent fresh food, cooked nicely with a friendly fast service. We will definitely be going back next time we visit Ringwood A++++++

We always use this cafe when visiting. Great food, lovely coffee

Nice cooked breakfast and friendly service

Fantastic cafe with a good menu. The breakfast is superb.

Very busy cafe but very helpful and food served quickly

Large cafe with plenty of seating. We popped in for a coffee and snack. The coffee was lovely and hot. The scone was nice but the hot sausage roll was not so good. Not good quality. Service was good though.

Delicious food and lovely friendly staff.

Really nice cafe. My husband and I had a late breakfast, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Great service, nice and clean, and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely return

Good quick service, but not hurried. Spacious and comfortable seating and reasonable menu with reasonable .prices.

Nice food, staff have a good sense of humour, had the Hogroast platter, the pork was great but the chips a little dry. Overall good experience

Fantastic service good variety of food

Friendly staff and prompt service. Brilliant food!

Visited here for our weekly breakfast club whilst in the eccentric town of Ringwood. We are goat hurders and once a week we meet for some breakfast and to discuss Goats. Unfortunately Jeremy could make it this week as his dog Loppy was having some teeth out. There’s is no parking outside but the local car park is not to far away. We like to meet up where we can park cars for free and then take one car to the car park to save on the car parking fees. There is also an Iceland food shop next door. The layout out inside is great, similar to that of an American dinner with a Turkish Twist! Very clean inside and the staff were beautiful 😍 I did feel like we were in Benidorm though as we walked through the smoking crew all wearing wife beating vests as we entered the property. The food was great and reasonably priced. The food was also hot. Improvement needed on the condiment selection though. All in all though a wonderful experience and we would visit again. Well done to the team at Cafe Aroma.

Always fantastic food here, fresh clean and great value for money. The choice is vast and there is always a good atmosphere whenever we are here. We'll worth a detour if you are nearby.

Every time I go here I cannot after talk about how amazing the food is here! They have the best food and sweet treats it is absolutely amazing thank you!

It's fantastic the staff are amazing and the prices and service are excellent

We found this cafe on our first morning of a 3 day visit to the area, we noticed it was full, we now know why. Staff were very pleasant and the menu really varied and vety reasonable - it catered for all tastes. We chose the early breakfast which included toast and a hot drink, maxi breakfast (it's huge!), and the smoked salmon breakfast - all were freshly cooked and delicious. Even the coffee included with the breakfast was the real thing and not instant and they served freshly squeezed fruit juices! The food was so good that we returned for the next two days too. We would definitely return when next in the area. 10/10

A quick and easy option on the way into the forest, shame you have to pay to park. Breakfasts are generous and tasty but avoid the bubble and squeak! Coffee is good, staff a little unfriendly but that doesn't detract.

Had their pistachio ice cream and it was not very nice. However sometimes ice cream flavours don’t work out and would love to try their food again.

Great food and lovely staff, will definitely come again.

Lovely lunch and friendly staff

Lovely place for a drink and snack. Staff is professional and speedy. Been there few times, food average, but still great for a quick snack if you are in a hurry.

Needed to kill a bit of time waiting for someone. So popped in this cafe, I was shown to a table, handed a menu I explained I only wanted coffee and cake, which the waitress said was fine. I had the carrot cake with whipped cream it was a light cake and very yummy. As was my latte coffee. Staff all very pleasant. Ladies toilet all clean and tidy. A nice atmosphere of people enjoying there food and chatting away. Nice to see life coming back after these last 2 awful years of covid ..

Lovely milkshakes and tasty food. Never let's us down.

Good breakfast, took inclusive breakfast

Amazing breakfast on a Sunday.. they had lots of options and we're flexible with the menu. Helpful staff and good prices. There is a huge public parking lot just 2 minutes away.

Visited 3 times in a week, always liked this place😊nice food, good service & price.

Love Aroma the staff are friendly and always so welcoming. The breakfasts are amazing and my kids love the pancakes. My original post was a year ago and you still get the same fantastic service now.

Nice easy quick food and good prices! One little thing to comment- sauces such as ketchup and Mayo are horrible, really cheap tasting and aren’t in original bottles. Other than that food is lovely.

Went for breakfast in sleepy boring ringwood, how wrong was I. Found this place and the food was absolutely lovely and the service and staf were fantastic. If you want good food, nice atmosphere and excellent staff, make sure you ge give here a try. I’m going back today

Consistently good food exellent ice cream Fabulous friendly staff . Highly recommended

Great big full English breakfast cooked to perfection, good quality food. Very nice clean premises and great staff. 👍👍👍
