Aromi is an independent, family-run Sicilian café and bakery group founded in Cambridge. Drawing on the founders’ family bakery and café heritage in Sicily, Aromi specialises in high-quality, made-from-scratch Sicilian food served in an informal café setting.

Aromi focuses on Sicilian food together with other generic Italian dishes. This includes traditional recipes, ingredients and flavours, as well as a strong emphasis on food made from scratch. The business is independently owned and operated, not part of a national or international chain.

Aromi’s core offer includes Sicilian-inspired bakery, pizza, gelato and barista-made coffee. The menu varies slightly by location and season, but all sites share the same food philosophy and quality standards.

Aromi currently has three locations in Cambridge:

Bene’t Street – our original café in the historic city centre
Fitzroy Street – a daytime café serving pizza, bakery, coffee and gelato
Peas Hill – home of Maccaruna, our fresh pasta concept

Full addresses and opening hours can be found on the Find Us page of our website.

Our Bene’t Street and Peas Hill cafes are located in the historic centre of Cambridge, close to King’s College and the Market Square.

Aromi cafés operate primarily on a walk-in basis and we do not usually take reservations. Simply come along and our team will find you a table as soon as possible. At busy times there may be a short wait. The exception is at Bene’t Street, where you can book a table from 18:00.
