Aroma Coffee & Cafe

Very nice coffee shop in the Quad Cities. The drink selection is immense and everything tastes really good. The Duck Creek coffee is very tasty and is a must try. The staff is very friendly and courteous. My only qualm with the place is that there were plenty of employees (who worked in the other sections of the store in which the coffee shop is located) that were walking around without masks and not practicing social distancing. Otherwise this place is great with a great selection of drinks.

One of my favorite coffee shops in the QC! My favorite is an iced brady street! I also enjoy the sandwiches and the cookies. The atmosphere is relaxed and bright.

Coffee Revolution has the best customer service. I enjoy visiting them. Also the Blueberry Bliss Cold Brew with oat milk is perfection. Thanks for being awesome.

Review Date: April 10th, 2017nnAroma = Amora.nnAroma backwards is Amora and Amora means ‘love’ in Spanish. I do love some good coffee, but do I love Aroma?nnYes. Aroma was fantastic. When driving to it, it was a bit hard to find due to it being tucked in with a placed called The Green Thumbers, which is a pretty nifty gardening store in itself. So aside from being attached to a gardening store, it is a full-fledged cafe/coffeehouse on it’s own.nnUpon entering, the staff was super nice and struck up a conversation and asked what I was doing today. Told them the boring part of my business reasons for being in the area, but also the fact that I like to try new coffee places while out and about.nnThey offer a large variety of coffees, lattes, frappes, baked goods, sandwiches, salads and more. I ended up just getting a specialty drink called ‘The Tuxedo’, which was hot espresso and milk with white and dark Mocha added to it. It sounded pretty good and it did not disappoint at all.nnIn their display of baked goods, they had a chocolate peanut butter cookie that was calling my name… or my sweet tooth was calling for it. Either way, I requested that along with my coffee. The barista even offered to warm it up. I tell you, this may be one of the best cookies I have ever had. I’ve had some of the best across Illinois, especially at Insomnia Cookies, and this place may rival them on the cookie level.nnThe interior is very formal with out being too formal. It felt cozy but modern. Everything was gray/white/black with nice furniture and some wall decor. But the best part? The two stuffed bears in there. One was about 5 feet tall and there was a baby bear on the other side of the chair, holding a coffee cup. You can see them below. They aren’t taxidermy bears mind you, but stuffed plush bears from the store it is attached to. This is the second coffeehouse I have been to with bears in it, the first being Thirty-Thirty Coffee Co. in Peoria, IL. Bears and Coffee go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly… maybe?nnNo bear puns yet? That’s un-bear-able!nnOverall, Aroma Coffee is Amora indeed! The coffee was great, the cookie was beyond amazing and getting your photo taken with the bear is an added bonus. Aside from it being a bit hidden so one could easily drive by, it is worth hunting for. The coffee/cookies that is. Not the adorable bears inside.

Nice place. Decent coffee
