Caffe Aroma

Usually I try to gatekeep this kinda thing but honestly it's one of my favorite places. The drinks are all lovely, sure, but I genuinely think this place has the best atmosphere in the city. Im not sure how to describe it fully, it just has a certain magic to it. I love going for open mic nights or to just spend a nice few moments with friends. Although it might be a little odd for a coffee place, I strongly recommend going at night. It's just such a wonderful place to spend time. The food selection is a little sparse though, so don't expect this to be a place to go to dinner. But a nice lunch or post dinner relaxation? It really can't be beat.

I've redone my review to reflect a recent visit I had here I had a latte and slice of frittata. The two food cases were filled with pastries, frittata, pasta salad, and other things I couldn't see because people were blocking my view. That's okay though because I just wanted some frittata. So if a quick bite to eat is your thing, as was my critique for my last review, you'll find something here. I was served by a wonderful person, we bonded in that small-talk-with-strangers way over having long nails and how I was envious of theirs. They gave me great service and as I had seen here and there while I was at this cafe they provided great service to everyone

It’s a classic cafe, so whatever you expect from a cafe, this place is that. Cozy, small, operates till late night, a great place to chat with your friend for hours or just enjoy your scone and tee on a summer afternoon. It’s one of my favorite places in Buffalo.

Coffee. Very good. Smooth, but to a fault. Little lacking in area of robustness. Not a ton of flavor but lighter and drinkable. Best (by far, because has anyone ever had it?) cinnamon water. The hot chocolates presentation was great (bonus points for the mini spoon) but half the cup was whipped cream and I wish it wasn’t because it was really good. Really nice people working and they were nice and quick. The seating was a little crammed, still cozy though. And if anyone was wondering there isn’t really an aroma

Love the staff, people watching, atmosphere and food. My favorite place to read a book and eat.

Hasn't changed much in the last 20 years and that is okay with me. Such wonderful memories coming here for soccer games in the 2010's. Its new owner has been working there since I can remember, is supremely dedicated and her attention to detail is apparent. She really does love the place and it shows in the decor and service . Staff is always friendly and attentive. And the coffee here is very STRONG indeed. The greatest location in the city for people watching, dog petting, and just good vibes in general. God has blessed this establishment in our beloved Elmwood Village.

Drove in from the Roc, the Cafe here is quality. Fresh, clean, bold yet not bitter. I really love coffee, it’s always better when I travel abroad and the latte I had here felt like I was outside of the US. It’s very cozy and close knit inside in a warm and welcoming way. It’s very cleanly and despite the crowd my latte was out pretty quickly.

Elmwood Village wouldn’t be Elmwood Village without Caffè Aroma. A true melting pot of Buffalonians, I’ve met so many interesting people just hanging out on the patio. It’s a great option for being “out” without the typical bar scene. My go-to spot in the city.

Found this gem when visiting the city for a Bills game. Loved the vibe here! Perfect for talking to strangers. We came here for wine one night and then for coffee and breakfast sandwiches the next two mornings. Right next door to a cute bookstore too!
