Cafe Aroma - Norwalk

A true gem in Norwalk! I daresay this is the best cup of coffee in the city. Nestled in a historic part of Norwalk, Cafe Aroma offers both cozy outdoor seating and ample indoor space. But don’t be misled into thinking this is just another ordinary coffee shop. The owner genuinely cares about the quality of the product as well as the customer experience. Each cup of coffee is served with a delightful Amaretti cookie. Every drink I've tried here—from lattes to double espressos to café mochas—has been fantastic. The menu extends beyond coffee, featuring handmade gelato, fresh baked goods, and an array of other treats. This coffee shop is absolutely worth the trip from Fairfield County and beyond. If street parking is tough to find, there’s a parking garage on River St.

I happened to stop by this place one day on a whim during a long walk, and I truly enjoyed it. The owner is incredibly warm and welcoming, his drinks are fantastic, and the shop feels like a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Wall Street. Do yourself a favor and drop in, but be ready to abandon your other plans!

Wonderful place for some coffee and a snack. Paul is an awesome guy to talk to about history (especially Greek) and philosophy. Highly recommend!

Fantastic espresso and coffee crafted by a true expert—it's almost as if he can prepare it with his eyes shut! I've recently started coming here, and it's quickly become one of my top coffee spots. I enjoy the vibrant atmosphere with regular patrons; he seems to know everyone and is incredibly welcoming. The pastries are also delicious. Plus, the hours are convenient, opening early and staying late.

I quite possibly have had the best latte ever. It goes down so smooth. The owner was super friendly and I quite enjoyed the Saturday morning cartoons on. I can't wait to come back for the best latte ever.
