Aroma Specialty Coffees

The high average score from over 1000 reviews doesn't lie. We had seen this endearing coffee shop on YouTube, and felt we had to visit whilst in Bologna. We were greeted like old friends by the lady serving, whose English was impeccable. Although it's only small inside, there is also limited seating outside under a portico. Approx.€15 for two speciality coffees, a crepe and a pastel de nata was incredibly good value. Please, please pay this gem of a coffee shop a visit if you are ever fortunate enough to visit the wonderful city of Bologna.

Though they were busy at the morning, they still nice and friendly! And the special coffee they made were amazing! The affogato coffee was more like dessert , quite creamy and sweet. Maybe not really good for morning, but it tasted really good. The iced coffee (sorry I don’t remember the actual name) tasted good. Less than 6€ for two special coffee, what can I say!! I wished they can open a branch in London🥹

Pack it in Boys. We've found the best coffee in Bologna. Actually no, we've found the best coffee in Italy. Look, Italian coffee is bitter, burnt and wakes you up with its ash and hot water taste. But ultimately, it's a bit meh. Finding Aroma Speciality Coffees was genuinely one of my Bologna highlights! Lady Owner and I talked about her beans' origins, their roast level, the acidity and tasting notes. She made recommendations on what I'd like - and what I might not like so much. And she was right on the money each time. Really knowledgeable and super info her third wave coffee. Genuinely, an absolute delight to be in her shop talking to her about coffee and trying her different beans. I had them as double espressos, but I'll be going back today to try her V60 method. I can't talk about her food yet, as I was too caught up with trying her coffee, but it looked standard cafe pastries that I'll try today as well. What I CAN say though, is that she had some single origin chocolate in her shop too. She offered me a square after the god-tier coffee, and DAMN it was good!! I will buy a bar of that too today. In summary: The best coffee in Bologna, and the best coffee in Italy so far that I've had. Owner amazing. Go here if you're from Australia and want a good coffee. Also go here if you're over standard Italian espresso and want a coffee that is actually nice and tasty for a change. Recommend A+++

I had three V60s, one honey carbonic maceration and one fully washed, and one thermal shock process coffee. Plus a cortado. The owners are a beautiful couple and are experienced barista champions, judges and ambassadors the global coffee community.

THE BEST coffee drinks in town. We tried to find better coffee for 3 days, because sadly they went in summer vacation, but we couldn’t find such tasty and well made Italian coffee. Honestly we didn’t like the food so much (nothing special i mean), but the coffee drinks…PERFECTION!!! The prices were affordable. BIG disadvantage was that they don’t have a WC, which was a little bit strange for us.

If you visit Bologna, you will need to visit here for some really amazing Italian coffee and treats. Loved the Caffe Della Nonna,espresso with custard, meringue and pint nuts, a really sweet uplifting coffee but small enough that it is not overkill and too sweet.

A must for your trip to Bologna. We had a fantastic morning here. The coffees were incredible and the small breakfast plates were very tasty. The barista was a brilliant guy and gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip.

Came here to try the speciality coffee. Recommend by a us by friends and also some locals. The coffee was good and overall a good experience.
