The Aroma Café story starts with a simple passion for good coffee and good food.
The first Aroma Café was opened on Hay Street in Perth in 1996, born from a love of our Sicilian heritage and a desire to share our commitment to quality with the rest of Perth and now Australia.
Each of our stores were opened with these simple desires in mind. To this day we still prepare all our salads, sandwiches and meals fresh in each Aroma Café kitchen. We use locally sourced produce where available and have a strong passion for good healthy food.
