Aroom Cafe

Tiny little cafe with an interesting variety of cake flavours. Although they had some more interesting flavours such as taro and egg yolk or matcha red bean, I grabbed two of their "lava" cakes for my mom's birthday today including:
Grapefruit, Mango and Coconut Lava Cake:
Mangoes, grapefruit and coconut mousse wrapped in a charcoal coloured light sponge cake and a waterfall of mango sauce that cascaded when you removed the plastic. We loved the flavours that were in this cake being not to sweet, very fruity and extremely aesthetic. I do wish the lava had "poured" a bit more upon ripping off the plastic.

Strawberry Lava Cake:
Very similar to the above but with strawberries and cream on the inside. I really liked how there were fresh and plentiful fruit (not chopped up too tiny) inside of the cake among a light layer of light whipped cream. Again, not to sweet and great flavour.

Overall, good cakes here at Aroom but I was looking for a little bit more "lava" and the price is definitely high.

Only three tables which can sit max 6 people. The cakes are not bad just a bit pricy. 2 cakes and a coffee is $25 without tips.

Aroom is a super cute cake shop on Oak. They have a large selection of individual size cakes with interesting flavours like black tea, pineapple, and more. They also have pastries and the cutest fridge magnets. I ordered a strawberry shortcake which is absolutely my favourite and so hard to find! The cake tasted super light and the strawberries were very fresh. Nothing was too sweet and this is definitely something I would come back for :)

We ate the cake in the shop but the space is quite small. They only have around 3 tables but it feels like a place where people would usually buy cakes to go. They served the cake on a super cute plate with little dessert forms to match. It's a somewhat impractical option because it was hard to actually eat with but the cuteness was worth it. The staff was very friendly and I highly recommend trying this place!

It's a small store with like 6 chairs in total. The aesthetic is very Korean and cute. They have a decent selection of desserts like cake and danishes!!! I wish the pastry itself was warmed up since it was a little cold. I like the cream it's not too sweet! I preferred the mont blanc one since the flavour was stronger. There's a whole creme brulee pudding on top, which is cool! Also the lava cake was cute but it was a lot of bread and cream. In the center there's so many mango chunks, coconut jelly and grapefruit. I think it's not THAT worth it but it's good to try once. Also if i warmed it up at home, maybe it would be a tad bit better.

The store is not very spacious with a total of three tables but packed with customers

Strawberry Lava Cake
The cake's filling is strawberry jam mixed with whipping cream, a simple mini cake with a little ingenuity.
.
Coconut Grapefruit & Mango Lava Cake
The most popular item and this lava filling are bursting! This burst of syrup brings you visual satisfaction and simultaneously elevates the taste satisfaction!
.
Cream Brulee Danish
I love the caramel flavour of the brulee on top. Such a good match with its buttery aroma! It is a bit stalky chirp, probably it would taste better after rebaking at home.
