Aroma Coffee Cafe - Davenport

Review Date: April 10th, 2017 Aroma Amora. Aroma backwards is Amora and Amora means ‘love’ in Spanish. I do love some good coffee, but do I love Aroma? Yes. 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. Upon 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. They 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. In 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. The 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? No bear puns yet? That’s un-bear-able! Overall, 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.

Today we visited Aroma Coffee Cafe. It was amazing . We ordered coffee and lunch. The coffee was a nice smooth blend, the espresso was perfect. We both ordered 1/2 Salads w/ soup and hubs had sandwich. I can’t believe I forgot to ask what kind of cheese came on the salad, bcz I did t recognize the name, and when she brought our food out I was horrified to learn it had blue cheese, which I am allergic to. I asked our server to clarify it was in the blue cheese family. She promptly went and made me another one. I did not expect that, for it was my mistake. What wonderful people to do such a thing. We will be back for sure. Thanks Aroma and your staff.

I had the most delicious chicken salad sandwich today.It was SO GOOD !!!!I almost ordered another chicken salad sandwich but I didn't want to look like a pig

Neat little coffee shop and bistro that is connected to a large garden center. We had sandwiches and drink that were very good. One unique thing is that each of the sandwiches have names that don't really tell you what they are. For example, names like barista which may be a bacon and cheese toasted sandwich. It was very good I would recommend going there. There is also a nice garden center attached with a lot of nice plants and other stuff.

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.
