Stopped by here while window shopping yesterday with my SO, and wow--their iced vanilla latte with oat milk was absolutely DELICIOUS! I was a little hesitant to try this place since a rating just over three stars seemed questionable, but I'm SO glad we gave it a shot because I really loved it. It hit the spot!!The two baristas were working their butts off--they were SO busy, yet drinks were made INSTANTLY and tasted amazing! We also got chocolate chip cookies (they come in a pack of two), and they were yummy and chewy. They would have been perfect if they were heated...The ambiance felt meh because it's like a pop-up corner shop in the mall, blending into the shopping area--if that makes sense.Overall, very happy with the drink. Will definitely coming back the next time I shop!

I recently visited Armani Coffee Shop, and unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to its luxurious appearance. While the shop's aesthetic feels high-end, with fancy packaging that resembles designer shopping bags, the quality of the food and drinks falls far short.The coffee itself is disappointing--not particularly fresh or flavorful, which is surprising given the focus on presentation. The pastries are very limited in selection and taste just average, even below average in some cases. I was hoping for a broader variety, including savory options like small pizzas or other light bites, but the menu lacks these choices, leaving little to satisfy different cravings.Sadly, the sandwiches and salads also missed the mark. They lack the quality and flavor you'd expect, and it's clear that more emphasis has been placed on the "fancy" aspects of the brand than on providing quality food and beverages.Overall, I'd suggest a shift in focus toward improving the core menu items--coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and salads--over elaborate packaging. The previous coffee shop here had higher standards, and it would be great to see Armani Coffee Shop rise to meet them. Looking forward to improvements!

Cute little nicely remodeled cafe. Convenient location to grab coffee and pastries while going shopping. It is pricier given the location. Coffee is decent. Lots of fresh pastry options. Service is ok

Their baked goods and treats are delicious, but the water they use for all drinks--whether in hot beverages or served as tap water--is of the worst quality. You can taste everything from chlorine to limescale buildup, making it almost impossible to enjoy their drinks.It shouldn't be that expensive to install a proper water filtration system--an upgrade that would instantly improve the quality of every drink served. For any coffee shop, especially one positioning itself as higher-end, this should be a top priority, I would think.

The barista was incredibly friendly at ARMANI CAFFÈ, and I truly appreciate the warm hospitality here. It made my visit so enjoyable, and I will definitely be coming back. Next time, I'm excited to try their food.

The space looks dated, like a 90s interpretation of what someone with no taste would think is high end. The water bottles lining the back bar is so tacky. Sub par products from the pastries to the weak coffee. This place is really, really bad and way overpriced for absolute trash.

I was told that this place was not good. But just because it's designer I wanted to try it. Waste of money and time. Even Starbucks is better. Place is so tiny the 2 staff are bumping into each other. Match is horrible. Also the cheesecake was dry and Mister Armani please provide utiutensils your place didn't have any.
