Established in April of 2004, Aroma Café is a family-owned restaurant which brings a unique taste of the Mediterranean cuisine to the local community in West Los Angeles. We pride ourselves for using the freshest of seasonal ingredients, while devoting time and effort into each dish as a home-cooked meal. So when you come in, whether you order a coffee or a salad please don’t mind the wait, we are either brewing you a fresh cup of coffee or cutting and seasoning your salad only after you’ve ordered it.
