Coffee Shop Review: House of Aromas in Coralville, Iowa

When Jade Huynh, Chris Nguyen and Truong Chong couldn't find seats at their local coffee shop one night, they had an idea. Through a lot of hard work, two years later, in 2004, they were opening their own coffee shop, the House of Aromas in Coralville, Iowa.

More than a Coffee Shop

At House of Aromas, you can choose from espressos like the Cafe Sua Da which is three generous shots of espresso and condensed milk. If you are looking for a real picker-upper, try the Red Eye which has six espresso shots, condensed milk and flavor of your choice.

Trying one of the mochas at the House of Aromas is never a disappointment. One of my favorites is the Classic Tuxedo. It is a yummy, rich blend of white and dark chocolate. I also like the Charlie Brown. This delicious drink is a mixture of chocolate and English toffee. For something different try the aptly named Smurf. It is made from white chocolate and blueberry flavorings.

At House of Aromas you can always have fresh brewed coffee. Mexico Altura, Columbia Supremo, Seattle Sunrise and Turkish are all available. House of Aromas also has a coffee of the day.

There are milky teas, and there are loose leaf teas in a variety of flavors. You can choose from green, black and oolong or opt for caffeine free or herbal.

There are also creamy smoothies and bubble tea as well.

Grab Some Lunch

Enjoy a sandwich! You can choose from chicken, roast beef, turkey or ham. Give the soup of the day a go or grab a salad. Everything is reasonably priced.

Sit and Relax

House of Aromas has a very laid back atmosphere. You can feel the sense of community as you sit and look at the local artwork along the walls. There are big comfy chairs and plenty of room for plenty of people.

All walks of life come into House of Aromas. From families to students, everyone feels welcome.

Service is always exceptional. You place your order at the counter and then take a seat, and once it is ready, one of the wait staff will bring it to you.

Give it a Try!

House of Aromas is located at 119 2nd Street, #300, Coralville, Iowa. You can also try out their other location in Coralville, at 2180 Norcor Ave. You can find another House of Aromas in Iowa City, Iowa.
