Espectacular

Sitio muy mono cerca del Parque Nacional de Cahuita con un menú vegano muy bueno. Hemos desayunado el panqueque de plátano con frutas y es espectacular. Mejor desayuno en Costa Rica. Tienen leches vegetales.
Hemos vuelto a la hora de comer y las hamburguesas están espectaculares! Una maravilla de sitio, 10/10

Excellent Vegan Menu

We visited Aroma nearly every day we were in Cahuita. The vegan menu featured plenty of choice and we enjoyed all that we tried. The breakfast was a particular highlight. The smoothies were also delicious and came with the option of plant-based milks. Fairly priced.

Increíble!

Muchas opciones veganas y vegetarianas, pan realmente rico, café delicioso. Pedimos un sandwich cahuita, spring rolls de mango y un toast de beetroot hummus y todo nos encantó. Gran lugar

Cute Café with an amazing vegan menu

Very cute café, has some board games. They have a vegan menu with lots of options. Prices are ok for Cahuita. Had the Cahuita Sandwich and it was amazing (and quite big).
Can definitely recommend!

Fresh, Decadent and Tasty

The food was amazing. My husband and I both got the Red Passion Burger. It was excellent and it was the most fresh food.I have had since arriv in Costa Rica.
As the menu indicates, It contains beets, zucchini slices, tomato slices, red cabbage, caramelized onions, and hummus.
I ordered mine without the bread because I have an allergy to yeast. So they put the hummus on the side. I'm really glad that they did that because I did not like the hummus. It had way too much garlic. It was already on the burger for my husband since he had his with buns. He loved his as well. So apparently he was fine with the hummus.
I would definitely love to eat there again.
The burgers came with fries. The fries were nothing special, just typical fries.
They had a full page vegan menu.
The service was good.

Pros: So fresh, Tasted great, Many vegan options

Cons: Like almost all Rica restaurants, it was hot and

Average

Got the Cahuita sandwich based on the servers recommendation. Was very average. didn’t like how the eggplant was prepared and the sandwich overall was very dry. the fries were the best part because they were seasoned and had a sauce to go with them (ketchup) smoothie was okay

Pros: hot, food, outdoors

Cons: dry, lacking seasoning , basic

Charming little restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Full vegan menu in Spanish and English. I read some reviews that said service is slow, but that was not my experience. Another review stated no desserts but I saw posts on their Instagram page. Not sure if they are vegan though since I don't like desserts.

Pros: Cahuita sandwich. Huge, delicious on artisan bread, Fast service at least in my case., Love the French fries.

Great vegan menu

There is a vegan menu. We were there for a lunch after doing the trail in Cahuita National Park. Aroma is very close to the Cahuita entrance. Outdoor seating, good service, fun vibe. #Veganuary

Decent vegan food

I love that there's a separate vegan menu here with quite a few options, I had a burger (chickpea,mushrooms and oats) and it just lacked a bit of flavor, overall it was a decent meal though, and the fries were fantastic!

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Amazing fries

Great vegan menu!

They have a separate vegan menu with great, well priced options (only around $10 per plate). We got the complete breakfast which came with tofu scramble, veggies, fruit, salad, vegan sausage, buns and jam, coffee and orange juice. So good!!

Pros: Food was amazing, Coffee was strong and delicious, Amazing smoothies

Cons: They gave us non vegan margarine

Tasty- not for to go orders

My intention stopping here was to get food for my full day inside the national park. They advertise as food to go but the packaging is not to go friendly. Lots of plastic waste, no lid on liquid for granola, no utensils provided, wrap not wrapped. Also there is an extra charge for to go. The food I was able to salvage was yummy but next time I’d eat in.

Vegan menu

We tried this place 2 times. Hawaiian Burger was really good with fries. Cahuita sandwich was a little bit dry, but tasty.
Gorilla smoothie is the best! Peanut butter, banana, oat and almond milk. I can’t get enough

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Tasty food

Cons: Little bit slow service

Hawaiian Burger OMG

Cool vibe. English menu too. Separate vegan menu. I ate breakfast there, the Complete Vegan Breakfast which was decent, nothing crazy overall. Came with all it said on the menu but I felt vegan "sausage* seemed more like a basic hot dog. Still tasty but it's def a lot!
BUT oh my goodness. For dinner I had the Hawaiian Burger and I could legit eat that every night. Tasty pineapple with all the other delicious flavors and chickpea type burger and perfectly crispy potato fries wow 🤯. Definitely use their homemade hot sauce! I'm getting cravings thinking about it right now 🤤.
Just FYI you go up to the register inside to pay so remember what you order.

Pros: Hawaiian Burger!, Good coffee, Lots of vegan options
