Get ready to #SpiceUpSpring with Aroma's newest menu items!

It's no secret of ours that we love Aroma Espresso Bar and have ever since it opened its doors in Toronto. It's the perfect place to grab a classy quick bite or to move your work from home office to. 



We know that everyone has their own favourites at every coffee shop or restaurant in Toronto and for me, it's the matcha green tea latte.  Not only does it photograph well (extremely important for good instagram posts :) but it also satisfies my constant matcha cravings). 

I am definitely a creature of habit especially when it comes to ordering Aroma's salads. If I'm expecting a heavy dinner or lots of junk food I'll go with the Warm Grilled Chicken Salad. I love that the dressing is on the side so you can add as much as you please, it has the protein that I need and for the entire generous portion, it is less than 200 calories! 

If I'm feeling generous with my daily food consumption, I always opt for the Sweet Potato Lentil Salad because without cheese in my life, where would I be?

Normally I'm not one to mess with a good thing but when I found out Aroma was introducing new menu items, I was definitely intrigued. 

The Warm Grilled Chicken Salad will now be available with roasted garlic, eggplant and roasted red pepper. The price has pretty much stayed the same which is incredible considering how many things have been added. As much as I love the original salad, I have to admit that the new additions give it that little extra "umph".


Another new Spring menu item that we're excited about is the Harissa Tuna Sandwich. 

It was ironic that as we were trying this, I said that I couldn't handle spicy and that I wasn't a fan of pickles but I finished my sandwich. The kick is definitely there but it wasn't overpowering the other ingredients at all. The pickle flavour was also very subtle. 

The sandwich is stuffed with albacore tuna, hard-boiled egg, tomato, red onion and pickle and served on a hearth-baked soft sesame and semolina bun and for those who like olives, you're in for a treat as they come with the sandwich on the side. 


It was extremely filling as a meal and even though I'm trying to stay away from carbs, I think this sandwich might make the exception. 


Last but not least, you will now be able to add Spirulina shots to an Aroma Ice Lemon Mint or any of their real-fruit smoothies for that extra nutritional kick. 

For those of you who are like us and know very little about the health benefits of Spirulina, it is extremely rich in antioxidants, natural vitamins and minerals.  Note: don't be alarmed when it turns your green drink, that's what it's supposed to do!

REVIEW | Schnitzel Hub

If vodka, Biergarten or Eastern European food means anything to you then Schnitzel Hub is the place you want to be. The diversity of cuisines has expanded in the St. Clair and Yonge area with Schnitzel Hub's second location.  Unlike the Schnitzel Hub's first location in Vaughan, this new spot offers a full bar, many more seatings for groups as well as a private dining area.   For vodka lovers, you'll be surprised to see some artisan house-infused vodkas at Schnitzel Hub with crazy flavours like lemon & ginger, candy, smoked bacon and even honey & chili pepper! I suggest you sip these infused vodkas to really taste the flavours.  Personally, I enjoyed the lemon & ginger but many others were raving about the horseradish! Now, onto the food offerings. This restaurant prides itself on creating homemade, authentic meals from Eastern an Central Europe with a focus on schnitzels.  I must say the portions here are very generous so it's a great spot to go for din...

REVIEW | HoneyButter - Decadent Macarons and more...

Who doesn't love desserts? We certainly do and that's why we were so excited to try out HoneyButter's   macarons!    HoneyButter is a private dessert company founded by Grace who offers a wide variety of desserts including cheesecakes, tarts, cupcakes cookies and of course macarons.  Anyone who likes to bake will tell you that baking is essentially a science. Proportions have to be exact or else the result turns out to be one of those "baking fails" that everyone laughs about. However, not all baking is created equally...cookies and breads tend to be on the easier side and then there are the macarons...in their perfect little shells just taunting you to attempt conquering them. Having tried and failed numerous times at making macarons myself, it's nice to know I can contact HoneyButter  to order some and know that when they arrive they'll look nothing like my own personal baking fail. The list of flavours for macarons is almost never ending and for HoneyBu...

REVIEW | Brassaii - Brunch

Let's be honest. There's no shortage when it comes to brunch spots in the city - the only problem is... the lines, especially at places that do not take reservations. Brassaii is known more for nightlife - dinner, cocktails, bottle service and music but they actually have great brunch selections during the day. Plus, they take reservations! The entrance to the King West restaurant is very pretty with cobblestone and plants surrounding patio seatings. The interior is also very spacious. The kitchen is open and is at the back of the restaurant. We went on a Saturday afternoon and was surprised for the place to be so empty. Maybe most brunch diners visit during their famous "Le Brunch" on Sundays? Nonetheless, with all the space inside it seemed like a great place for big groups. We started with a mimosa and a cold-pressed juice. The good news is that the brunch menu is simple, which I prefer to a crowded menu; I got the chicken and waffles and my friend chose the Omele...
