Arome Cafe

This place is so cute! The cherry blossom tree in the middle of the shop makes the cafe so picturesque. All my friends enjoyed their drinks. I ordered the strawberry matcha and it was perfect, not too sweet and not too bitter.The workers there are really nice too :) stop by if you're ever in the Evergreen area!

Didn't realize the deli that was here closed and Arome Cafe took it's place. I was going to eat at Le Boulanger across the parking lot but saw they had sandwiches here and decided to give it a try. It is somewhat of a large open space with little furniture and I think they would do themselves better by filling it up a little more -- maybe some couches and coffee tables in the corner instead of just basic tables. Maybe some rugs to make it feel homey and to absorb some of the echo in the place.You order from one of two menu screen on the wall. I ordered the tuna fish sandwich and the lychee tea drink.The lychee drink they brought out to me fairly quickly -- and it was very good. Just the right amount of sweetness and flavor, oh-so-refreshing, I really enjoyed it.The sandwich, however, took quite a bit of extra time, especially given they were not busy and it wasn't a sandwich that had to be heated, or with an ingredient inside that needed to be cooked.Anyway, opened the box, the ciabatta looked great, and the preparation looked spot-on with a stack of fresh romaine (I think) and tomatoes and the first bite was great. But as I kept eating it it became apparent that they had prepared the tuna salad with a hecka lotta mayo. I like mayo but it shouldn't be such that it's more like tuna-flavored mayo, which this wasn't quite that bad, but close. I'd really like to impress upon management that they pull back on the mayo and let the tuna and other ingredients shine more.That being said, nothing tasted weird or anything, it was all fresh, and I can't say it was a wholly disappointing meal, just needs some adjustment. I will definitely go back for the drinks, definitely wanna try the Yuzu Honey one, and I will give them a chance again with a food item -- their Florentine quiche does look good. And, being a locally-owned business, I do hope they succeed and hope they'll take to heart constructive criticism like mine and others.

We have eaten here a half-dozen times now, so I figure it's time to write up a review. Overall the sandwiches are good, the drinks are tasty, and the service is excellent. The bahn mi sandwiches are the star here. They have nice soft bread, plenty of fillings and usually I only finish about half of one. The only thing that I wish is the pickles were a more "pickled" -- I don't think they have enough acid to really contrast with the meats in the sandwich. And I'm hoping that over time they will have more than the two they have on the menu now.The other sandwiches are good, but not really outstanding. I'm not a fan of the Ruben at all, but the Italiano and tuna sandwiches are both solid.They have quite a few drink options and all of them I have tried so far have been very good. They are on the sweet side, so I you don't want liquid candy, you might want to order them "less sweet". Overall, Arome is worth a stop for lunch. The prices are a bit high for my tastes, but these days where isn't that true?

Super surprised this place isn't more popular? All of the food tastes like it's made with love, the ambiance/atmosphere is super cute with the cherry blossom theme, and the portions are very generous. Their quiche is really good--crust was flaky and soft. I love the Tuscany Caprese sandwich too. All entrees are served with a good side salad too! All dine-in meals are served on cute ceramic plates. Service is friendly! I wish more people came here. Show them some love!

Support local business and Arome Cafe! Read the positive reviews and saw the photos of the great food and vibes here. It's a Saturday and I don't want to hassle with driving to Duc Huong and waiting in line for my favorite bahn mi, so happy to try the pork one for $8 here! It didn't disappoint as it's fresh, large and toasty with a good amount of meat. Hubby had the Italian sandwich, which was tasty and enough for two people. Nice K-pop music playing here, too, makes for a relaxing lunch! Can't wait to come back to try other items, including the teas, quiche and pastas!

Great local Vietnamese cafe!!! Happy to see a new cafe open up in the area because nothing ever opens up near me!! Located in the plaza next to EVC in the backside near the Wells Fargo and The Funny Farm. Plenty of parking! Not busy when I went on a Tuesday afternoon. Interior is pretty big and spacious with a handful of tables, and outdoor seating. Would be a great place to work out of if they had wifi (not sure if they do but didn't see any obvious signs). They offer brunch items, sandwiches, Vietnamese coffees, and teas/matcha! 2 order kiosks- didn't work when I went but they had a note that they had a recent break in so they were only taking cash and venmo/zelle for the moment. Staff were friendly! I got the grilled pork banh mi, sea salt coffee with condensed milk coffee as the base, and the milk tea americano. The sea salt coffee was good- very strong though!! Personally, it tasted better when the ice melted! Opt for the black coffee base if you don't like the coffee as rich or sweet. The milk tea americano was good- strong tea flavor and paired with the coffee nicely! The grilled pork banh mi was surprisingly good- they gave so much meat for $8! The baguette was also slightly crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside- not the type that would scratch the top of your mouth. Would definitely go back to try out more drinks and sandwiches!!!! (:

This new sandwich/coffee place is cute and cozy. There are self some serving kiosks that makes ordering quick and easy. There are a variety of solid options for sandwiches, drinks, and pastries. We got the: Tuscany Italian: solid Italian style sandwich. The bread is soft and the ingredients feel fresh.Tuna: creamy and yummyMatcha coffee: good mix of light matcha and coffeeOverall, recommend checking this new place out!

**Soft Opening Thursday-Sunday from 10:30am - 2:00pm**I stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon to grab some coffee and saw that they have Vietnamese egg coffee so I had to order it! The coffee itself tasted great and not too bitter since most Vietnamese coffee's are really strong, but this one is nicely balanced and the sweetness from the condensed milk at the end is like a nice treat.They have 2 Kiosks right when you walk in where you can order snacks and drinks. They offer Coffee, Tea Latte's, fruity boba, pastries & sandwiches.There are plenty of tables inside to sit down and eat/drink with really nice interior that makes it look open and spacious.They should be having their Grand Opening next week (Beginning of August) and plan on coming back to try other items off their menu.

It was actually a bit busy on a Sunday lunch time. There were two self ordering kiosks that were very easy to use; however, folks did take a long time to make decisions. Getting down to the good stuff. We ordered:Pork chaud: 5/5 perfectly crispy and warm with that flaky pastry crust. It looks like they also put in mushrooms which helped fill it out nicely.Grilled Pork Banh Mi: 4.5/5 the bread was *chef's kiss* albeit a little thick. Just wish there was a little more meat to balance that.Quiche Florentine w/ salad: 4/5 the quiche was a tad bitter but had a great crust. The star of the dish was the arugula salad with tomatoes, pecan nuts, and parmesan shavings. I wish they sold that salad as an entree cause I would order that in a heart beat. Maybe have as an option with the chaud Mango Oasis: 4/5 can have a choice of a base tea of jasmine or black (we chose jasmine and ordered it less sweet). It was a normal run of the mill tea drink with fresh mango puree. My kid loved it though!They are in their soft opening still and testing menu items. Would def come back to try their brunch items!

Not too sure if it's still soft opening but their current limited hours leaves a lot to be desired. However, I digress since that's a discussion and decision on their end. Went here back in early soft opening and came back yesterday and both times they forgot things in my drinks. Definitely not an issue as they are apologetic and fix it but really hope this isn't a habit as I do hate requesting fixes in general. Banh Mi comes with a decent amount of meat even though the picture makes it look sad since they just piled it in one area, slightly different flavor profile than authentic banh mi's you'd grab from like Duc Huong but not complaining. I do wish things were toasted or more hot though. Newly added benedicts, when it came out I was kinda confused, as it's not a traditional one. Potatoes were diced, includes a side of salad and a waffle/croffle (?). Nonetheless, ended up enjoying this a lot, sauces complimented the savory waffle, potatoes were with a nice crunch.Overall, a very decent brunch place that still has some small kinks to work out such as food prep time and ensuring accuracy.
