Aroma Espresso Bar

One of the latest, greatest Israeli imports to NYC has been this sleek cafe chain, where you’ll find soothing lighting, comfy and stylish seating and a menu bursting with fresh, tasty, affordable fare. For a morning protein jolt, go for the Power Breakfast – two eggs with mixed greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese and bread and butter – paired with one of the well-made coffee beverages, like a nice, strong, foam-topped latte. Delicious sandwiches include grilled haloumi cheese with pickles and cream cheese or chicken with roasted peppers and mozzarella, and there’s a great selection of global baked goods, from sugar-dusted alfajores to chocolate croissants. This is the Upper West Side branch.
