Arome Cafe
4878 San Felipe Rd #110, San Jose, CA
Crema's Take
“Arome Cafe strikes a lovely balance between a quick caffeine stop and a leisurely hangout spot, with Vietnamese coffee drinks like their sea salt caramel coffee with boba earning particular praise alongside creative specialty drinks. The cozy ambiance and friendly service make it a solid meeting spot, though the food quality seems inconsistent—while their schnitzel and banh mi have their devoted fans, recent orders suggest the kitchen's execution has wavered. Order at one of their touchscreen kiosks and settle in with a drink that leans toward the adventurous side of cafe culture.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

A great place to catch some Vietnamese coffee. It was my first time here and I got the sea salt caramel coffee with boba. Their ambience is cozy and their service was great though there was only one barista. The barista was amazing though as the coffee was scrumptious. It was…
The food is superb. Their schnitzel sandwich (and even though my daughter asked them to remove every sauce and cheese from it) is perfect, crunchiness alone, seriously. I got fried chicken salad and add extra avocado and it was very delicious. Everything else we tried was also…
Enter and order at one of the two touchscreen kiosks. I like this style, but it can be a little slower your first time because there are a lot of items to choose from. And because it's a kiosk, I didn't capture any menu photos. I ordered the croissant sandwich with ham and egg.…
