Crema's Take

Aroma is a vibrant San Jose spot where exceptional coffee meets creative tea drinks, with regulars raving about their Vietnamese coffee selections and imaginative creations like Durian Hotjicha Einspanner and Panda's Milk Tea. The owner and staff create such a genuinely welcoming atmosphere that people keep coming back specifically for the consistency and quality—whether you're after a perfectly pulled espresso or a refreshing Plum Kumquat tea. With fun touches like spinning chairs and a thoughtful selection that spans matcha to specialty milk teas, it's the kind of place that feels both unpretentious and intentional about what they serve.

Aroma Coffee never fails us. Their flavors are incredibly consistent. Not only that, but the owner and the staff are so friendly and accommodating. If you love coffee and flavored matcha, these are the go-to drinks. 101% legit—it’s the best! The drinks are creamy and amazing. Thank you for serving not just delicious coffee, but a satisfying experience with top-tier service. Love you, Aroma!

There’s a lot of spots in San Jose that have matcha but Aroma is my go-to spot time and time again. Every single one of the drinks I’ve gotten here are high quality and worth every penny. But the banana matcha is hands down my favorite in all of San Jose! Although I mainly go to Aroma for their matcha drinks, you should also check out some of their other items like their Vietnamese dessert drinks. Sometimes there can be a long line to order on the weekends, but it usually moves pretty fast. And be patient when you wait for your drink cause the staff are working really hard to make each drink taste perfectly. Despite how busy they can get, the staff are always welcoming, efficient, and helpful. There’s a few tables available for you to sit at but it’s a small shop so it can feel claustrophobic when it’s busy. I would only suggest sitting and enjoying your drink during non-peak days. Parking in this plaza can be a nightmare during peak hours so sometimes it’s best to park a little further away and walk, or you could even park on the street or in the Target plaza next door and walk over.

Great selection of specialty drinks like Panda’s Milk Tea, Lychee Rose Milk Tea, and Longan Honey Oolong Milk Tea. They also have the classic milk tea options. I love that they offer a taro selection too!

So glad we decided to try out Aroma after being super full from Q Hot Pot. The coconut coffee is full of flavor while the plum qumquat tea (xi mui & trái tắc) is refreshing, filled with delicious aroma. We did less ice & less sugar and they're perfect for our taste buds. Will come back for more
