Aruma Cafe
2011 E Apache Blvd #143, Tempe, AZ
Crema's Take
“Aruma Cafe is a charming Tempe spot with a distinctly pink, bubbly aesthetic that draws people in as much as the coffee does—think cute vibes and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating perfect for everything from quick caffeine hits to leisurely work sessions. The coffee itself is hit-or-miss depending on what you order, but the real draw is the lively atmosphere, solid wifi and outlets at the countertop bar, and those excellent breakfast burritos that keep regulars coming back. Fair warning: it's counter-service only and can move slowly during peak times, but that laid-back pace is exactly what makes it feel like the right place to settle in with a laptop or meet a friend.”

You have to go to the counter to order just FYI. I found an outlet at the countertop/bar. The music that was playing while I was here on a Monday was on the higher volume side but it was all vibes! Very cute aesthetics! I don’t know about parking as I walked over to this cafe while waiting for my car to get fixed. I would recommend this shop!
The vibe here so so cute! My friend and I have different opinions about the coffee. She loved hers but I was not a fan of mine. The vibe alone would entice to me come back and try a different drink though! Also there are a ton of little shops around here so you could make a day of it! Grab some coffee and just go visit all the little unique shops ✨
Needed a place to quietly work with some coffee and found this spot. Great coffee, slow on a Thursday morning (which I loved!), many seats/wifi/outlets. All the things you want to push some work in.
Great Breakfast burritos and the lady behind the counter is the best. Only thing is I went at 8:50 am and there was not a single person behind the counter. Kept there for 10 minutes but same same. Only bad review after visiting 3x so take it as you will. Just upset I didn’t get my coffee before work.
Visited this morning and didn't realize they were part of the Culdesac! It has such a cute aesthetic - pink and bubbly! There's plenty of seating inside and out. I liked their menu, but wasnt expecting how expensive their specialty menu would be. Parking can be a little tough but I was lucky to find street parking right in front. They were friendly and noticed they had plenty of regulars they greeted!
