This place is pricey. The sandwiches can appear inexpensive at $5-$7 but then add a bag of chips and a drink and bam you easily spent $10 on lunch…again. The buffet is worse than getting a pre-made sandwich. Civi Deli, on Worth Street, is way cheaper and the food just tastes better.
The only reason I go here once in a while is because of the upstairs seating (and of course because it's across from my office). Occasionally I want to meet a friend for lunch and this works well for us.
Arome is a big food court type place with lots of options to choose from – salads, sandwiches, soups, etc. I've been there a couple of times for lunch. I think it's a great choice for those working downtown, as it is convenient to most of the office buildings and courthouses down there.
The first time, I tried a wrap and really liked it – from my recollection, I got a shrimp wrap and really liked it. I appreciated that the people making my food told me that I could get a free water bottle with my meal. That was nice of them.
The second time I visited Cafe Arome, I ordered the salad. I like the salad bar a lot – you have a large selection of salad types. I got a pretty cool/unique salad there, including octopus salad and crab cake salad – awesome! The salad choices weren't anything that blew me out of the water and still can't compare with Whole Foods salads, but I still thought my food was delicious and I truly enjoyed it.
I will definitely visit Arome again and recommend it highly. The prices are reasonable and the food is tasty.
Lunch at Arome has become a daily routine for me. Everything about this place is nice and convenient. They make fresh salads, sandwiches, hamburgers, wraps, soups (at least three types), a WIDE and ethnically diverse selection of cold and hot foods, lots of drinks, about six different kinds of brewed coffee, healthy snacks… I try to pick something different everyday, but mainly a couple of items from the hot entree section. So far I've been satisfied with the quality and taste of each one. Especially the fish and the warm veggies…they're good.
The place is clean and well organized, and the people are generally polite. The upstairs dining area is perfect to sit and unwind. I've never had a problem grabbing a table, but sometimes there are people standing around waiting for vacant seats… And I like the fact that they have a recycle bin for cans.
One minor complaint I have (nothing's perfect) is that they don't label their foods…so you have to closely look at them and determine what they are, or ask the staff.
Really, 4.5 stars for now!
First time back in NY for a long time and was craving a REAL breakfast sandwich. Stopped by and got one and it was delicious. Getting fresh rolls and bagels is rarity where I'm from and it was a delight. $3.50 for a sandwich wasn't bad at all.
Also, they have a pretty nice salad bar as well. Nice place.
