Aroma Coffee Shop in Shirley is a hidden gem with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff who always greet you with a smile. Their coffee is rich and full of flavor, made to perfection every time. The foods and cakes are always fresh and delicious, making it the perfect spot for a cozy break. Whether you’re catching up with friends or enjoying some quiet time, Aroma is a lovely place to relax. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great coffee and a peaceful vibe.

Segunda visita a este gran , espacioso y aireado café. Gran menú a un precio justo. El personal es siempre muy amable y servicial, parecen disfrutar de sus trabajos. La comida era excelente. Fresco, caliente y llegó pronto. También una buena selección de bebidas. Desafortunadamente solo cero o Coca-Cola Dietética aunque en opciones sin azúcar. Restaurante y aseos impecablemente limpios. La cocina abierta también parecía bien cuidada. Bien vale la pena una visita y sin duda volveremos.

We’ve ordered specials, homemade broccoli pasta and hog. Pasta had nothing to do with being homemade as it was a simply overcooked macaroni, that tasted a bit gummy like the one from the tin. Served with garlic bread baguette also not homemade, as it tasted like the one from the grocery store. Hog was very dry, looked like it sat in the fridge for a while. Prices did not reflect the quality we got.

Las tortitas estaban bien, pero el sándwich de gambas no era muy agradable. Langostinos secos y un par de ellos sabían mal. Destaqué esto al personal y me dijeron que eran frescos. No se hizo nada al respecto y no hubo disculpas. No volverá a este café mediocre.

Passing through, needed a great breakfast and found Cafe Aroma which fits the bill. Relaxed and comfortable, and prompt service, very nice indeed with a broad menu but I went traditional full. I had the 'Late Breakfast', good value, and I added black pud as an extra. Got a large tea, which is served in a tall glass, bag in so you can deal with it how you like. Milk on the side. Sausage and bacon were quality meat, thick bacon and tasty, and the black pudding as well makes this a pig-lover's delight. Fried bread was also excellent, delicately decadent. The brekkie I had included tinned toms and mushrooms, but other menu items include fresh veg ingredients. I didn't sample these on trip (carnivore me).

Overall, nice decor, clean, the staff cleans the tables efficiently. One minus is that they should do it with paper and not cotton cloths. The food, well, I expected better, but it's not the worst. I ordered the Aroma Breakfast. The sausage tasted like a vegan one, the black pudding was standard but ok, the potatoes with vegetables were a good idea but probably not for breakfast, the beans, the toast, the potatoes didn't go together well and were not seasoned and the sauce was too fatty, one egg was hard-boiled and the other one was perfect, toast - I don't know if it's true on the menu, but it's not sourdough bread, it's just regular English toasted bread, the beans are a puddle of sauce, also tasteless, the hash brown was ok, I'm talking about my son's opinion, the tomato was nice, large, non-standard, even if it was made of fluff. it would still be tasty. Canned mushrooms are rather tasteless. There's no problem if you're hungry. One star less for the information on the wall, if I order breakfast until 11 a.m. and it says on the wall that coffee and tea are included, then when I see coffee added to the bill for £2.75, it's not a pleasant surprise. Please explain clearly to your customers what breakfast they must buy so that the coffee is included in the breakfast price. Overall, for extras like cola and coffee I paid 1/4 the price of two breakfasts. The door is always open, so the smoke of people smoking outside is a major disruption to the meal because the smoke is sucked inside. Generally 5☆ service Decor and cleanliness 4.5☆ Food 3.5☆ Overall opinion 4☆

Food was not worth tha plate it was served on , I had a maxi breakfast for £11 2eggs 2 bacon 2 sausages ,beans ,tomato ,mushrooms hash brown and 2 toast i only eaten the bacon hash browns and the eggs because I was starving. The mushrooms were tin mushrooms with no flavour not a pinch of salt or pepper in sight , the beans were a runny mess slightly wormed up with 2 tined tomatoes , sausages we're probably the cheapest Quality one can buy 95% bread 4% seasoning and 1% pork, and then the toast ,how can someone mess that up ??? By slightly having the breat touch the toaster and calling it toast bread!! it was so under toasted the plate didn't even have bread crumbs.

The food lacked freshness, particularly the meat, which had an unusual taste. I am currently experiencing stomach issues. Additionally, I was dismayed to observe Aroma employees or the owner sitting outside smoking cigarettes, the smell of which permeated the interior. Overall, I was not impressed with the experience.

Lovely place. We are out-of-towners and stopped in for lunch. Both of us are very impressed with the choice of food and beverages, the quality and the price. We had the American breakfast and I'd say it was good value. Two hash browns, two bacon, scrambled eggs (also two in my opinion), three pancakes and syrup. Great coffee and very efficient, friendly service. Edit: Four weeks later we are back in the area and had another really great experience. This time the Maxi Breakfast defeated one of us and the Chicken and Avocado salad thoroughly satisfied the other. The staff are friendly and efficient, the food is delicious and the toilet is clean and well maintained (including hot water, which not everywhere has). Five stars again.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant regularly for breakfast and have often recommended it to friends as a great spot. The food is always very good, and that was still the case on my recent visit. However, I was quite disappointed with the service when I came with my family. Our server was not very friendly and gave the impression that he didn’t want to be there. When we asked for the bill twice he didn’t acknowledge us or say anything. Eventually, he just brought the bill without a word, which felt dismissive. A simple response would have been appreciated, and I would have completely understood if he was busy. Also, we ordered a matcha, but it came out poorly prepared. The matcha wasn’t dissolved and was clearly separated from the milk in layers, which shows it wasn’t made properly.
