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 | Cafeteria

[Guest Writer: Jonathan L.] For my first food blogging experience, I head over to a pre-opening at Cafeteria by Playa Cabana with Monica from the Food Sisterhood. The newest addition to the Mas Playas group is located on College and Dovercourt, an area with many up-and-coming restaurants.  We are seated at a table with fellow bloggers, Laney & Nick from  Best of Toronto , Jess from  Where Jess Ate , and Jess' fiance, Mike. While he refuses to contribute to her blog, he has at least put a sufficiently sizeable ring on her finger to warrant a few perks (ha ha).   Cafeteria boasts a lively ambiance.  Despite not being officially launched, the restaurant is bustling with walk-ins, undoubtedly attracted by the rustic charm of Cafeteria's decor.  The highlights are vintage wood and tile finishes throughout, and a set of floor to ceiling wrought-iron gates in the style of traditional Mexican courtyard architecture.   Before the meal begins, I warm my pa...

RECIPE | Alokozay Tea - Cinnamon tea infused panna cotta

Matcha tea has been a long time favourite when making any type of dessert and now more recently, it's expanded to other teas such as Chai or Early Grey. We decided to try making a panna cotta using cinnamon tea from  Alokozay Tea.    If you're looking to buy it in a store, try the international food section in Metro, Bulk Barn, Food Basics, or Adonis. If all else fails, do what we did and order it directly from their website. The website is extremely easy to navigate and you can get free shipping if you spend $39 or more.  Customer service was amazing and replied to my emails within the same day! Click here to buy the tea online.  Panna Cotta is a pretty straight forward dessert to make but it never fails to impress at dinner parties where you can serve them in individual ramekins. Ingredients - 2 Alokozay cinnamon tea bags - 3/4 cup half and half cream -1/2 cup 2% milk - 2 tbsp sugar - 1 tsp gelatin -fruits of your choice  Method: 1. Mix the gelatin with ...

REVIEW | Best Dragon Seafood Restaurant

In my opinion, Chinese restaurants usually tend to give the most bang for your buck. You can usually walk out of the restaurant feeling full and satisfied without a deep hole in your pocket. Best Dragon Seafood Restaurant is no exception especially since it's known for its seafood. The great thing about most Chinese restaurants is that they offer set meals, making dinner decisions quick and painless with a large group. Best Dragon offers a variety of set meals with different option whether you want to go with crab or lobster. Most meals will come with a veggie dish of some sort. Don't be worried that the meal isn't enough, it usually ends up being more than what they advertised but you can always order a la carte if you see something you want that's not part of the set. One thing that we have learned from eating seafood at Chinese restaurants is be careful of how they prepare the seafood. They can either just stir fry with garlic and keep it simple or they will fry it w...
