We got the wrap, couple of pastries and soup of the day and the portion was very generous! Everything was delicious and we were stuffed at the end! The staff there are also super friendly :)

My order: Turkey, extra mayo, mustard, pickles, lettuce, sprouts all on a fresh baked roll. I love this place! When I go into the office and didn't bring lunch, I come here for a sandwich and some chips. Others also rave about their cookies (I don't have much of a sweet tooth but do enjoy their cookies every once in awhile), and their breakfast sandwiches. Definitely recommend coming here on your lunch and/or to pick up a quick meal for a picnic at the lake.

If you're looking for a morning pick-me-up, Aroma Cafe in downtown Oakland is the place to be! The cookies and sandwiches are made fresh every day and the staff is top-notch. Jessie and Maria always make sure I start my day with a smile. I'll definitely be back for more!

Ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant, and it was solid. Hit the spot, it was made perfectly. Great customer service, I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Definitely my new breakfast spot.

Chocolate chip pecan, and the peanut butter cookies are amazing hands-down the sandwiches are great also

A friend raved about this place and so happy I tried it, I am usually picky when it comes to my sandwich spots but I'd definitely eat here again. I got the Turkey and Bacon sandwich on sourdough. I ordered online and the order was ready when I picked it up. Good pricing too,

We ordered Aroma Cafe catering for our conference event and they did not disappoint! We had breakfast, boxed lunches, drinks, coffee, kind bars, and chips catered and let me tell you, they go all out! Breakfast day 1: We had an assortment of pastries (muffins, bagels, croissants, scones, turnovers, buns, rolls), fruit salad, and coffee and everything was fresh. The fruit salad had watermelon, cantaloupe, melon, pineapple, strawberries and was probably one of the freshest fruit salads I've ever had. A lot of the guests enjoyed the fruit salad very much. The pastries were also a hit! The scones which came in cinnamon, cranberry, and blueberry were delightful, fluffy, and not dry at all. The pastry assortment came with muffins that were the size of our hands and they were so delicious! But my favorite were the bagels! They weren't stale, fluffy, and the cream cheese that came with it, was the chef's kiss. I sneaked a jalapeno cheddar bagel and omg, it was one of the best bagels ever! I tried the cinnamon roll-ups and they tasted exactly like a cinnamon roll, the chocolate filled croissants were flaky, fresh, and the perfect amount of chocolate filling. No complaints from the guests at all on the assortment of pastries! The coffees and teas were also fresh and refreshed periodically. I appreciate having decaf options and a good selection of teas. Lunch Day 1: We chose to have boxed lunches (an assortment of veggie, ham, and turkey sandwiches with an assortment of green salad, pasta salad, or fruit salad). Also came with a variety of cookies (chocolate chip, oatmeal, peanut butter, white chocolate macadamia nut, chocolate, and snickerdoodle cookies. The boxed lunches were a hit among the guests and we loved the variety of choices! The sandwiches were huge and tasted delicious! The green salad was my favorite as it came with greens, beets, beans, carrots, and delicious dressings (ranch, italian, honey mustard)! My favorite dressing was the honey mustard! They don't do gluten free bread but were generous to provide gluten free options like salads! GET THE COOKIES!! some of the best cookies ever! The cookies were the highlight of lunch! They were all baked to perfection, gooey, and not too sweet. I saw alot of guests grab multiple cookies, even to-go, so that's a very good sign! For the snacks, we got the kind bars (salted caramel and dark chocolate) and chips. The chips were the Kettle brand and came in multiple flavors like jalapeno, bbq, salt and pepper, salt and vinegar, honey dijon (my favorite), pickle, regular. As soon as the chips came, everyone literally ran to them and grabbed multiple bags! I even grabbed some for my flight! There were no complaints! The soda selection were also great! They pretty much had every regular and diet soda available much to our excitement! Breakfast Day 2: We had the pastry assortment again and this time, had even more bagels (yay!) and this time we had chobani fruit yogurts! The yogurts were delicious and everyone enjoyed them. We had fruit salad, orange juice (freshly squeezed and just the right amount of tang), and also tea and coffees. Lunch and Snacks Day 2: We had the boxed lunches again with chips, kind bars, cookies, sodas. Overall, great and friendly service, on time, and high quality food, drinks, and snacks. I don't remember the name of the person who set everything up but he was very pleasant and a joy to work with. He came on time with all the coffee refreshes as well. I got to meet the owner, Emile and he was so kind, pleasant, and made sure everything was good to go. Prices are reasonable and for the amount we paid, we had more than enough food, drinks, coffee, tea, and snacks! Thank you so much Emile and the staff at Aroma Cafe for making our meetings special! 10/10 would recommend them for catering or just a good spot for some good food!

I've been frequenting Aroma for 13 years and they've never let me down. Prices are so reasonable and staff is always so friendly and top notch. I love their drink selection but my favorite will always be drip coffee. A colleague joked that they must put drugs in their sandwiches because they are so addicting, they will keep you coming back for more! You cannot leave without having a freshly baked cookie either!

Thank you to David & Amil for being so kind and friendly on my first visit here! The customer service is great and the food is even tastier!!! I got a tuna bagel sandwich on poppyseed which was soooo good. The bagel sandwiches are filling and I love how the tuna isn't heavily coated with mayo! You have to make sure you get a cookie too for dessert! They're warm, gooey, and soooo delicious! Definitely coming back to try out their big salads too :-)! Thank you again Aroma Bakery & Cafe! A perfect gem for delicious bagel sandwiches + more!
