The first Aroma on Hillel Street in Jerusalem (2006).

Aroma Espresso Bar (Hebrew: ארומה אספרסו בר‎) (literally Aromah) is an Israeli espresso and coffee chain with 125 branches around the country,[1] several branches in the United States,[2] Canada[3] and Ukraine and single locations in Cyprus, Romania, Kazakhstan, and Poland.[4] Aroma is a self-service cafe where orders are placed at the counter and customers are called when the order is ready.[5]

History

Founded in 1994 on Hillel Street in downtown Jerusalem, Aroma first started branching out beyond that city in 2000. In 2006 the first overseas branch opened in SoHo in New York City. In 2007 Aroma opened its first location in Canada, in downtown Toronto in The Annex. In 2008, Aroma opened a sister brand "Marrone Rosso" with locations in Romania and Cyprus. In 2007, branches continued to open in Toronto and on 72nd Street in New York City, as well as the first location in Kiev, Ukraine. Aroma has 33 Canadian locations in Ontario (mostly in Greater Toronto Area), as well as ten American locations across New York City (4), New Jersey (1), Maryland (1), and Florida (5).[6][2] In 2012 Aroma opened its first two Polish locations in Warsaw.

Social responsibility

In 1996, Aroma's first branch in Jerusalem began integrating workers with special needs. Today the chain employs such people in nearly every branch in the country.[7]

Comparison surveys

A survey by an Israeli market research company found that more Israeli consumers are inclined to choose a cafe based on accessibility and availability, ahead of cost and taste of the food. According to Haaretz newspaper, this may explain the success of Aroma, which has 123 outlets in Israel.[5] Respondents were asked which chain they thought had the cheapest prices and best service. Aroma won by a wide margin.[5]
