Wife and I stopped here for a quick afternoon coffee and tea. Busy, really busy, but the staff handled it well and we got our drinks quickly. Certainly worth the wait if you need some afternoon caffeine! And I loved the sign!!

One of the favorite local hangouts within the Colonial Williamsburg area. They have a spacious area inside where you can sit at a table or just order and go. There are several outdoor cafe tables if you’d rather be out in the sunshine. Great coffee and pastries too.

Finding good coffee and a quick bite at a reasonable price in downtown Colonial Williamsburg is a tough task. Everything is supremely overpriced and overly fancy. Luckily Aromas exists and gives you what you need at a reasonable price. The coffee and flavorings were delicious from snickers to almond joy. Pastries were fresh and salads were delicious. They also have a full lunch and dinner menu along with daily specials. I highly recommend the pulled chicken sandwich it was amazing. Very happy to have stopped in here twice during our visit and recommend it to anyone with kids who needs a quick bite in between historical building visits.

Another great place in Colonial Williamsburg. I dont like coffee much but the atmosphere is great. Just people hanging out at a coffee shop. The food is great, I started eating pastrami sandwhiches with mustard like they are supposed to be. And their peach freeze shake was amazing on a hot day. Just a great place to enjoy the nice atmosphere. And you might make a new friend!

A regular stop on our way to/from VA Beach! Located in quaint, historic Williamsburg right next to the College of William & Mary. We’ve been coming here for about 20 years and their selections keep improving. Food is good, gluten free and vegan options are available, desserts include, cake, pie, enormous biscotti, and chocolates. Staff is friendly and helpful. Busy with locals and visitors at this cafe.

We had a lovely lunch: two drinks (Almond Joy latte and a hot chocolate), two salads (classic Cobb and Asian Salmon) and a kids Turkey sandwich. Salads were delicious and the right size for lunch: filling but not overwhelming, with no leftovers. Drinks were very nice. The kids Turkey sandwich was a standard sized sandwich, which was not finished by our daughter. Prices were OK. Overall very nice.

So hard to find healthy vegetarian and vegan options! Was so thankful to find Aromas. The food is fresh, very tasty and fast. Looking for good, healthy food in Williamsburg, look no further.

Coffee is good, food is good. Right by the college though, so always full.

Adorable bistro/cafe. Delicious food and drinks. Enjoy your food on the sidewalk in a nice day. Highly recommend.

Awesome coffee options! Comfortable relaxing atmosphere! Outdoor seating is a plus! Employees are friendly and helpful

I went here a few years ago and loved it so I was excited to go back. After the last experience I will probably not choose to go moving forward. They were really busy that day and the whole place was a mess. We waited in line about 20 minutes to order our drinks. My friend and I both ordered from two separate cashiers. My friend was given a receipt which had a number on it, however I was not offered a receipt and no one asked for my name or gave me a number. We had to wait an additional 30 minutes for our two drinks. Everyone waiting was getting frustrated at the wait time and when people would go up to ask on their order status all of the baristas were extremely rude to everyone. They really need to get a better system in place when they are busy because it was ridiculous. A lot of their problems could have been solved if there was a better way of keeping track of orders.

This is a great coffeehouse and cafe! Very busy spot but worth the wait and they keep things moving quickly. Also wanted to give a thank you to the staff for being empathetic and preparing another slice of quiche for me after our order took a tumble, you guys are the best and very appreciated!

We were looking for a quick cappuccino and bakery item to grab and go. Found Aroma’s and it seemed to have great options. Entered with our baby and stroller only to be treated very rudely by both customers and staff.

I have been here many times. It is a popular place for locals and tourists alike as its between William and Mary and Colonial Williamsburg.The atmosphere is very relaxed when its not hyper busy. The price point is significantly lower than some of the other restaurants around Market Square. They do coffee, breakfast/brunch, lunch, snacks, and dinners with a pretty wide ranging menu.People unfamiliar with Aromas might find it hard to navigate. Coffee order pickup is on one side and food pickup is on the opposite side of the counter, while ordering is in the middle.While it is a dog friendly place (outside) it is not disabled friendly.

I’ve been going to Aromas in Williamsburg for 10 to 12 years. The food and coffee used to be really good and would frequently go throughout the week. The past year to two years it has not been the same, especially under new ownership. As of the past few months it has sucked. The food is always messed up and when asked for something that was forgotten I was told that they will get it if they have the time. You can always count on the workers being creepy. If you like being stared at intensely this is the place to go. Last night we ate at Aromas and my dad couldn’t even eat his food, they gave him some old spaghetti that wasn’t even what he ordered..I might add, before they start closing they sling the chairs up and rush you to get out....I’m sorry I have to write this, but I really wish it was like it used to be. Aromas used to be a really great place that I would recommend to my friends.

My absolute favorite coffee place. It gets quite busy for breakfast and lunch but it’s worth it, and the line moves quickly. They have the best chai lattes I’ve ever had, and their mochas and lattes are amazing as well. Their food, delicious. I especially enjoy their lox and bagel. 10/10 recommendation, a regular spot for me

Love Aromas!! We visit at least once a week. Great affordable sandwich choices and breakfast food. And their wine slushies are a delicious treat!

Aromas has tasty food and a fun social environment. The lattes here are sort of hit or miss depending on the day, but their normal coffee is tasty! They are also exceptionally fast, even when they are slammed busy, I have no idea how they do it.

Aromas is a place I always try to visit when in this area. I love their coffee combos and seasonal drinks (like the white choc raspberry latte) as well as their pastries and items from the case.I’ve sat and enjoyed some live music here for dinner as well as people-watching from a table outside.They have some great cakes and sweets as well as wraps and sandwiches.

Loved the pecan coffee! Scones were perfect (I had cherry, daughter had chocolate). It was nice to sit outside and enjoy the quiet street.

I enjoyed my visit. The place was hopping. There was a bit of a wait for the food but there were places to sit inside and out. The food was worth the wait. The honey buttered toast was a treat. The staff and service was great as well.

Great coffee shop with affordable prices! The drink I ordered initially couldn’t be made but they were able to get me something else. They did a great job taking care of me and the coffee was delicious!

Delicious coffee (I got a raspberry latte - so good!), and their mint biscotti is superb.

Was a slight blip in my order but they promptly and politely fixed it. Quick service. Someone was actively cleaning tables. Plenty of staff to help attend people. Quaint establishment. Would definitely go back and recommend. Enjoyed my Irish coffee over ice, also.....the water is super cheap here its $1.69 versus the fudge place a few doors down thats $6 lmao.

Great local place for coffee, breakfast and lunch. Excellent coffee and fast service We eat there every visit to Williamsburg.

Excellent food and excellent service. We will definitely return whenever we are in the Williamsburg area.

Cool coffee shop, great coffee and food. Will visit again next time we are in town.

This is one of the best coffee shoppes that I have been to. They are clean they all wear masks and make you wait in line outside and only allow so many people in line at a time.. They do allow in-store dinning and shopping. They roast their own beans and have different varieties of coffee to try and tons of cakes,cookies!

Sunday morning, lots of customers, seemed a good ordering process tho. I ordered a dark roast with heavy cream and hot tea. Cashier directed me to station for add ins to find cream. Cool, probably a canister on ice I thought. Hubby tipped two bucks in anticipation of further good service and quality beverages. The first disappointment; no heavy cream to be found. I asked to have it added behind the counter. Panicky barista checked a few under counter fridges and reported “all out”. Next disappointment; we waited a good twenty mins for a tea. I inquired after about ten mins and was told tea was on the line (of orders) and coming up. After another ten min check the response was unclear/indecipherable. Ridiculous. Hubby was especially annoyed at having paid and tipped, and not delivered beverages requested.

We are big coffee drinkers and I have to say these are some of the best iced mochas ever!!!! We got an iced tribe mocha and iced Prince George green mint mocha and both were excellent! Service was quick and friendly!

Such a wonderful place for a chill breakfast. My wife and I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. It was a great place to have a nice breakfast date for sure. The coffee selection is great and the breakfast we had was fantastic. It was much better than going to some chain or fast food place. You get great food for a really good price

Local shop, extremely busy but very efficient by The College of William and Mary.

Wow just look at the sandwich. Enough said.

The drink of the week is the best!!! Thank you staff for friendly positive attitudes. Keep the positive vibes going.♡

Salads (sesame chicken and Asian with salmon) were fresh and delicious. We returned the next day for the same meal!

The people working here are what put it over the top. They were short staffed and one of the incredibly few places open, yet everyone there was very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were fun and tasty.

The food was amazing. And the owner came up to us and conversed with us. Although they stayed busy, they were able to get out order correct and fresh. We are from Newport news, and was pleased that we made the drive to come to this location.

Love the sandwich and coffee.But this place is always crowded. Not a best choice to dine in there.

Good coffee sandwiches were ok. Pastrami plentiful but lacking in flavir

Great local cafe. Not a chain brand type of place. It was comfortable, felt like in someones home, and they happen to playing live music.

Good coffee and sandwiches, salads. They get VERY BUSY and the line can get very long but they try to keep the lines moving. They need to go outside and clean the tables occasionally. Lot of dirty tables and flies.

Crazy busy. Great food.And if your order the Apple stuffed French toast it comes with caramel sauce poured on it. (Does not list caramel on menu)

Good food and a lot of options. The flow was a little confusing but was good visit.Would go again.The BBQ chicken brioche is a good choice.

I love this coffeehouse. As soon as I walked in the door, I felt at home. Its a cozy place well suited for great conversations.

Food is great but bathroom stinks. The toilet has been broken for a while and missing several ceiling tiles. Its been like that for a while . Stays busy - not like you dont have money to fix it!!!!

THE place for marvelous breakfasts and lunches, fun cupcakes, and enormous baked goods. The coffee is worth the wait that, most likely, will be around 10 - 15 minutes unless you catch it on an off time. Go early. And, often.

THE go to coffee shop in the ‘Burg. Quality coffee drinks, delicious snacks, and friendly efficient service. A solid choice.

This place is ao inviting and smells amazing. The staff was friendly but willing to allow you samples so you LOVED whatever you bought.

Nice little coffee shop Cafe on the historic streets of Williamsburg across from Brown Hall. Next to the scalise building one street over from Merchant Square. Nice atmosphere friendly and courteous employees local vibe. Hangout for college students. Gluten-free menu options. Homemade dessert pies and quiche. This is however a california-based franchise.

If you go when its not too crowded this is one of the best coffee shops Ive ever been in.The coffee latte smoothie was to die for

Mmmmm that Lox & Bagel. Incredible coffee and chai in a cozy setting. They were super busy when we were there but they PUMP out orders quickly.

Nipped in for a cup of decaf coffee. The server did not smile or show any warmth. The coffee wasn’t great but I think it had been there for quite a while.

Tea was unsweetened, but good taste. Wait time was not too bad. Out of quite a few things, but we still managed to try the BLT and the Mediterranean Melt with no olives. The sandwiches were both fantastic! The nachos were not great.

Excellent service. Ice coffee was outstanding

Loved it! My husband had the Ginger Sesame seed Chicken Salad, I had the Roasted Turkey sandwich! It was delicious.

The coffees are amazing.The sandwiches and salads are delicious.

I like the place, cool décor and good drinks. One problem though. Your staff show zero sense of urgency when making coffee drinks. I was in there last Sunday and it was busy. I kept that in mind as I waited 25 minutes for a Café Mocha. Today, there were three people ahead of me. 20 minutes for the same exact Café Mocha. Even as you read this, I am a pretty patient and calm guy. Im not typing madly or pounding on the keyboard. Reasonable is reasonable though, 20 minutes for a café mocha? Your drinks are very tasty and I appreciate each was made well but, 20 minutes? Comeon........

Great coffee, busy spot filled with William & Mary students.

Really cozy and quaint. If you imagine a coffee house in your mind... Then thats what this place is

Love the house salad with cider vinaigrette! Southwest chicken wrap is delicious too.

Always have a good experience.Food is always good and prompt and if there is a line they know how to keep it moving.

Excellent experience.... Get here early they get busy :)

They need to lower the temp. On their refrigerator. The yogurt parfait wasnt cold enough.

Overwhelmingly busy. Took about 25 min to order and receive two espresso based drinks. Highly recommend using a receipt and number system as the barista got our drinks mixed up. Disappointed I was not given or offered a receipt, either.Enjoyed my drink but we chose not to order sandwiches because of how busy it was.

Really nice staff and places to sit outside! I enjoyed my ice coffee. Great food as well.

As a comic its great to have a local spot support local talent. A lot of places dont care about anything except money. Not here. You feel truly at home.

I ordered a hot chocolate. It was cold. They redid it and it was lukewarm but interesting enough, the cup was hot. Why was the cup steaming hot but the hot chocolate was lukewarm?

Laid back atmosphere, a mix of all ages enjoying the day. Wonderful mix of menu items

Excellent coffee shop and bistro. Very good breakfast. Nice outside seating

Open early for breakfast and dogs are allowed in the outdoor seating. This is not a full service cafe. Great atmosphere.

Good coffee. Quick service. Nice breakfast spot.

The kids enjoyed the traditional french toast and bacon but the coffee left a lot to be desired. If you are looking for an amazing cup of coffee head over to Illy on the next street!

LOVE the aesthetic/look of this coffeeshops interior. Unfortunately, it was very crowded, very loud, and its easily the most expensive coffee shop Ive ever been to. My *small* snickers latte came out to $4.20 total.High costs combined with average service and rude patrons, safe to say I wont be returning. Give another cafe on the street a try.Final note: No menu in sight. I believe they may normally have laminated copies somewhere near the door... but I didnt see any. Also no visible prices on the desserts (cakes and pies) in the glass case. Makes it very hard for a first-time customer to choose what theyd like to eat/drink.

Great salad. Its cute but cramped and the wait to get the food from ordering was about 20 minutes, so quite a long time.

We loved it! Coffee was great and the food was amazing and a big portion!

Very busy. Very good food and coffee. Would like to go back and try lunch.

BBLT....to die for, Yaba Daba Doo!!

Great place for coffee and desert. Don’t miss the nuatela cheesecake 👍🏼 #Yeswaa

The perfect place to start your day with a great cup of coffee and light breakfast. Wonderful staff and amazing baked goods. I go every morning that I am in Williamsburg.

Great interaction with the manager who took our order. This is definitely a place that locals eat. The vibe is local/rustic.My cobb salad had great quality ingredients and they were fresh. The presentation was great but the salad was not ‘ready to eat’. The meat was rolled up into a neat presentation, so I had to cut it up if I wanted it distributed on the salad. Similarly, the onions were left as large rings.My wife’s salmon salad was nice; we thought it was a teriyaki salmon, but that must only be on the steak option. The quality of the salmon was decent for the price of the salad $9.99Overall: Recommend

Cashier recommended poached eggs and grits without any hesitation. It was delish. In historic downtown williamsburg.

Always try to avoid the place. There are much better alternatives around. Coffee is so-so, crowds, lines, busy service

Variety of coffee flavors - good munchies.

Visited today! Line out the door which I didnt mind, given its a Saturday during the holiday season. Ordered the drink of the week, but by the time mine was ready to be made, ingredients for the drink had run out and was offered an alternative. Accepted the alternative and it was delicious! I just wanted to say that the staff was wonderful, very patient, polite and kind even though there were some rather impatient customers and I imagine a little overwhelming, it was busy and the whole social distancing thing. Over all great experience and wanted to just show appreciation to the staff!

Great food and coffee. Its a modest place to casually catch up with someone or to study but I probably wouldnt plan a date or anything more formal here, though.Update: there’s a newer coffee shop here in town. It’s a beautiful space but comes no where near the quality of aromas coffee.

We went here while visiting and after our first coffee we went there four more times. Even had their breakfast which was amazing.. definitely recommended

Great coffee shop atmosphere, with a surprisingly strong breakfast and lunch menu. Portion size is good if your not looking to eat a lot - itll leave you full, but not too full to get up and go for a walk afterwards. Ive only gone for lunch but Id want to go back to have breakfast there, its a solid choice, wont disappoint.Masks are required and outdoor seating is available due to covid.

Very nice. Nice staff, beautiful sitdown in colonial Burg, good food.

Nice quick and good. Recommend the chocolate peanut butter coffee smoothie!

Really good coffee and espresso

Good food and very nice service.

I like that Aromas is consistent, but they don’t seem to adapt with the times. More vegan and gluten-free options (and some that are both) are needed on the menu... long overdue in an area that is getting younger residents every day who are focusing on their health!

I LOVE this coffee shop its super cute and the coffee is always so good! 😍

Gas station quality and service, barista prices.All 4 times I have been in for a coffee the good coffee “pumps” are all empty and I have to settle for whatever is left.Always seems busy, and never lived up the expectations. I would say if your going to spend on a coffee go to Illy around the corner, at least the quantity is there for the price.

This is a fabulous cozy cafe in the heart of old Williamsburg. We loved the friendly and warm atmosphere. The drinks were excellent (both the coffee and the alcohol, and the combinition: spiked Irish coffee!). We had two egg sandwiches on croissants which tasted amazing. The price was reasonable too. I only dropped one star because the place was overcrowded despite COVID. May restore that star when we go back after the pandemic!

The honey do latte is fantastic and was recommended to me by the barista. They knew what they are talking about which is what I love about local coffee shops! The sandwiches are great too.

Cute and cozy. Reasonable prices. Soup was delicious!

Staff friendly and helpful. Love thier creativity in the coffee of the week.

Great place, had gluten free BLT and it was yummy!

What all coffee shops should be, but are not. Consistently great coffees. Very tasty menu also.
