Very good menu suggestions and service. Excellent energy drink. Hash browns could have been more toasted and the breakfast sandwich less burnt.

My daughter got me hooked on this place. Been going there a year now and they never got an order wrong yet!! The muffins are huge and well worth it!

Every time I try to go here I give it 20 minutes to try to get a coffee and I end up driving away without one almost every time because it makes me run late for my day. If you can’t get a customer through a drive thru within 20 minutes for coffee, you probably shouldn’t have a drive thru. I want to try this place more, but it’s hard to justify when I could go to the Dunkin next door 3 times in the amount of time it takes to go here. Edit: the owner replied saying that if I were the 10th car, it would take 20 minutes. I fully agree that 2 min per car is reasonable. I do want to note that the day I wrote this review, I was almost late for work after waiting 25 minutes. I was the 5th car when I pulled up. This is an average of 5 minutes per car.

ridiculous wait every time i go through the drive thru, it sucks because i love the drinks and would come here every day if i didn’t have to wait for an hour just to order. no hate to the workers because it’s almost certainly not their fault but management seriously needs to figure it out

The service/wait time has gone down hill in the past year. Praying the issue is rectified soon 🙏 but I'll still keep coming for their raspberry mocha coffee anyway ❤️ it's just that good.

Love the organic teas here! A good atmosphere, making it easy to spend a few hours here writing. This is also where I like to meet up with people for a chat. Took my parents there this morning.

Long wait. 30 minutes in drive thru. Good drink selection. Food is not the best.

My family likes going to aromas. I only have one suggestion. Better ordering through drive thru. But other than that wonderful people!

Took 15-20 minutes to get to order window with 5 cars ahead of me ...4 employee cars parked out back. Then another 5 minutes to get my iced coffee. Not sure if it was shift change but I've had less of a wait at dunking donuts with line wrapped around the building. Best iced coffee around, wouldn't wait that long again though.

It's Aroma Joe's, it's solid, consistent. The traffic circle is a bit bananas but the coffee shop existed before that was there so it's not on them. I go out of my way from Bangor sometimes to get AJ's because it's better than Dunkin. So, I think that's an endorsement.

On the plus side: nice outdoor seating area; they opened the indoor area sooner than a lot of places after the lockdown; the coffee is pretty good in general and some of their Travel the World coffees are quite memorable; some of the staff has been there for a few years which tells me the management and working conditions are pretty good. Things that always bother me: (1) having to pay a dollar for a cup of water when I order a coffee and a pastry. Personally I think if I'm a paying customer, water should be a courtesy. I have heard businesses claim the cost of cups is prohibitive, so I can even understand a 25 cent surcharge; $1.00 is excessive. (2) Internet works about 50% of the time, so just when you think you're going to get some work done while you're sipping your coffee, no. When you tell staff, they say they'll reset it, but that never fixes the issue. (3) Also about 50% of the time, the music is way too loud. I can't concentrate on anything and or even have a conversation when the music is that loud, and it's not enjoyable.
