Aromatic Roasters
1103 East St, Chapel Hill, NC
Crema's Take
“Aromatic Roasters is a coffee lover's dream for those who crave variety and quality in every cup—their monthly subscription service delivers rotating single-origins that feel like gifts, and they've mastered both the classics (their espresso and pour overs are stellar) and creative challenges like genuinely excellent decaf iced lattes. The vibe is refreshingly low-key and laptop-friendly, perfect for settling in with a quiet morning or lingering over a meticulously crafted Kenyan pour over in their pleasant, unhurried atmosphere.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly.

Fantastic coffee, they do their own roasting. Super friendly and welcoming baristas. Really like the new location in West End Emporium on Rectory St. Plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating make it a good place to just hang out, work, or meet one of my coffee groups.…

Nobody in line behind me so I say “Hi” and am met with a blank stare. She halfheartedly said “what?” And then I proceeded to order an iced americano. She asked 4 shots and cream? I asked “this is for a friend, and she didn’t specify. Is that the standard way they’re served?”…
Cool place no longer on a brick and mortar location. Very nice people and staff. I am a cold brew drinker, so for me it was not the best, but their lattes and other coffee types looked amazing.
