What People's Say About Place

Aroma Caffe is a convenient and quaint café located at Ilikai. Due to the convenience of the location, we have visited them twice for breakfast. They get pretty busy, but they move quickly. The menu is limited, and they are unable to do any substitutions. My husband is a fan of the açaí bowls and the blueberry muffins, and I've stuck to the bagels. The first time I had the bacon bagel, but I removed the bacon and second time, I had the everything bagel with cream cheese. I've also tried their iced coffees, and they are enjoyable. Overall, it's a great spot for a quick breakfast. There is available seating outside and limited seating inside. If you're looking for something quick and convenient, this is a good option.

We went early on a Saturday morning because it was one of the few places open at 6am. We were NOT disappointed. I had a tropical acai bowl that was absolutely delicious and a mango Italian soda. The Italian soda was nothing special. My companion had the turkey pesto sandwich and it was so good! And a banana mocha that he raved about. We also go the guava bread and pineapple coconut bread. I would definitely come back here!

Service is amazing, tons of flavors for coffee that taste great! I go every morning. Prices are also very good for there coffee. The staff there also move quickly with maybe a 5-10min wait.

Good food but a little pricy, I got the bacon bagel ( everything bagel with spicy mustard bacon cheese and eggs) and it was 12.85$. And a small hot coco for 4.25$. My husband got a red bull infusion for 6.95$ and the French toast berries for 17.65$. They were a little hard to find but otherwise a cute place to eat right near the ocean and harbor . They sold ground coffee, stickers and other cute little items as well. Also there are waterfalls right next to the eating spots which is really cute . There was quite a line as well at 8:00 am so maybe get there earlier and expect a wait. All and all a good place to eat

Cute cafe on the Ilikai balcony next to shopping & restaurants. Coffee was good, nothing exceptional, and service was quick. The location doesn’t get better for a quick brunch spot or coffee on the way to the beach. It’s a convenient location so I’m not going out of my way to make it a priority to seek it out and would recommend other coffee shops for coffee snobs like myself, though I haven’t seen this brand of coffee anywhere else…

Great girls that work here,friendly and fast! Good coffee and no up charges for non-dairy. Acai bowl spot on.

I’m from Australia and I always love to come here for a coffee every time I stay at the Ilikai in the summer. It’s a beautiful cafe. I recently tried an açai waffle which was nice. The staff there are lovely too!

We passed this place up a few times on our way to each at Cinnamons next door but glad we finally checked it out. Went first for the Acai bowls which were delicious...my kids wished the acai was a bit more "frozen" like some of the other spots we've been to...I thought they were fine. Also tried a breakfast sandwich, pineapple bread and nutella coffee. Place is good, definitely should try it out.
