Aroma Bakery Cafe, at Shop B5, 210 Dairy Flat Highway in Albany Village, describes itself simply: good place, good food. It's open daily from 5am to 5pm, serving freshly made breakfasts, comforting café favourites and barista-made drinks.
Aroma's signature breakfast menu is genuinely extensive. The Aroma Big Breakfast piles on eggs, streaky bacon, chorizo, grilled mushrooms and cheddar & leek hash, while the Eggs Benedict comes with in-house made hollandaise and a choice of bacon, grilled mushrooms, English muffin, cheese bagel or cheddar & leek hash. For something different, there's a Breakfast Burrito, a Brioche French Toast finished with pistachio paste and whipped cream, and four types of three-filling omelettes — Garden, Bacon, Ham and Chorizo. The Early Bird Morning Combo, available until 11am, bundles toast, eggs, bacon and hash with a coffee, tea or orange juice.
Beyond breakfast, Aroma runs a set of café classics — Eggs on Toast, Mushrooms on Toast, Beef Mince on Toast and an Avo & Smoked Salmon Toast — alongside a lighter, vegetarian-friendly range. The Grilled Halloumi Plate pairs grilled halloumi with roasted vegetables and dukkah, the House Granola Bowl uses gluten-free granola, and the Smoked Salmon Wellness Plate is described as light and gluten-friendly.
For lunch and heartier appetites, Aroma serves a House Soup of the Day, a Gourmet Beef Burger loaded with bacon, fried egg and homemade aioli, a Fried Chicken Burger, a Classic BLAT, a Hearty Cottage Pie, a Creamy Chicken, Bacon & Mushroom Penne, and Loaded Beef Nachos. A full sides list — from golden and kumara fries to grilled halloumi and smoked salmon — lets customers build their plate exactly how they like it.
Aroma's quick coffee menu covers the essentials — Flat White, Latte, Cappuccino, Mochaccino and Long Black — and the café also caters to younger diners, with items like a Kids French Toast on the menu.
Regular customers describe Aroma as dog-friendly, with a quiet, easy-to-talk atmosphere suitable for groups of any size, and plenty of free parking on site. Reviewers have specifically praised dishes including the fish and chips, the grilled mushroom and smoked salmon, and the chicken mushroom pie, alongside consistently good food, service and atmosphere.
