It's three years since Cafe Aroma opened, and I have to say the food and drink quality for the price is very good. They serve a variety of espresso-based and smoothie drinks, as well as many others you would expect to find at a high-end coffee shop, but also provide very good panini sandwiches and wraps, and soup in-season.
The atmosphere is great. There aren't any others like it: decor in warm colors with a fireplace, some couches and armchairs as well as standard tables and chairs, and original artwork on the wall. The people are dedicated to their jobs and friendly.
But what really sets it apart are the live performances and open mic nights. It's a large enough venue for all of these, and other events, so it's pretty much the go-to place for all of the above and then some.
The one downside: It's good food prepared to order, so it will take longer than a fast-food place. Lunch is busiest for them, so if you are limited on time, be prepared to call ahead, or take it to go.

This restaurant is a little off the beaten path as it is not located in the downtown area or on the commercialized Jackson Street where most other restaurants in town are located. This cafe is conveniently located near W.I.U. They have a very good selection of sandwiches and salads; service is fast and courteous. I have eaten there twice and have not been disappointed; the portion size is very large, especially on the salads.
