Meet Kelsey S!!

Kelsey has been part of the Aroma team for almost two years, officially hitting her anniversary this August ☕️

Lately, her go-to order has been an iced Collagen Crush Matcha. Refreshing, energizing, and basically summer in a cup 🍵🧊

One thing most people don’t know about Kelsey? Since 2017, she’s performed in Tuba Christmas at The Palmer House in Chicago every single year 🎺✨

If she could hop on a plane tomorrow, she’d be headed straight to the Greek Islands 🇬🇷☀️

Current song on repeat? “Love Me to Heaven” by the Jonas Brothers 🎶

Kelsey says she’s more organized than the average person, but still likes to mix things up a little, which feels pretty accurate if you know her 😂

And if you’ve spotted her reading lately, there’s a reason. She’s already read 55 books in 2025 📚🤍 How many do you think she’ll read by the end of this year?

Drop your favorite book recommendation for Kelsey below 👇

Happy Friday Feature 💙

Meet Kelsey M!!

Kelsey has been part of the Aroma team since the very beginning and works a lot behind the scenes, so even if you haven’t officially met her yet, there’s a good chance she’s helped make your Aroma experience special in one way or another ☕️✨

Lately, she’s been nonstop ordering our iced Coconut Cream Pie Latte… and honestly, we can’t blame her 🤍🥥

A random fun fact? Her hair color is actually her birthmark — how cool is that?!

If she could hop on a plane tomorrow, she’d be heading straight to Alaska ✈️🏔️

The song she’s had on repeat lately is “Be by you ” by Luke Combs 🎶

And when it comes to routines, Kelsey is definitely more of an organized-planner type… but still likes to shake things up once in a while.

Now we want to know — what’s YOUR current go-to drink order at Aroma? 👀☕️

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸

As we gather with family and friends, may we also take a moment to reflect on the courage, service, and sacrifice that gave us the freedoms we enjoy today.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend ❤️🤍💙

Meet Alena!!

Alena has been part of the Aroma team for just over a year now ☺️

Lately, her go-to order has been super simple… an Aroma drip coffee with oat milk ☕️ But according to Alena, you are absolutely not getting the full experience unless you pair it with a pastry too 😂 Her current obsession? The white chocolate raspberry scone. “Chef’s kiss” was the official review 🤌🏼🤩

A random fun fact about her? Apparently she’s an elite whistler 😂 She can whistle the alien iPhone ringtone almost perfectly and honestly now we all need to hear it in person.

If she could hop on a plane tomorrow, she’d head straight to Italy with her husband ✈️ Visiting family, drinking coffee, eating amazing food, and wandering around beautiful little towns sounds pretty perfect to us too.

The song she’s had on repeat lately? “Porch Light” by Josh Meloy 🎶 (for basically the past year 🤣)

When it comes to routines, Alena says she’s about 50/50. She likes being organized, but also loves the unexpected moments that remind her to have faith ✨

If you see Alena around the shop this week, say hi and let het know your go-to coffee and pastry combo 👀☕️

This Sunday, Cars & Caffeine is happening in Crystal Lake, and it’s all for such a great cause. Proceeds from the event benefit the Crystal Lake Food Pantry while we all get to spend the morning enjoying incredible cars, good company, and plenty of fun. 🚗☕️

Fun fact: the Aroma Coffee & Wine building was once known as Bauers Garage. Take a look at the sign the next time you stop in! We can’t think of a more fitting place to grab your caffeine fix before strolling through all the cars downtown.

Stop by this Sunday, May 17 while you’re out enjoying the festivities. We’ll be open and ready with coffee, matcha, breakfast, and all the good vibes for the perfect Cars & Caffeine morning. 💙

🌷Happy Mother’s Day Weekend 🌷

This weekend, we’re celebrating the women who love endlessly, give selflessly, and make life feel a little warmer. Moms, grandmas, mother figures, and all the incredible women who have cared for us, supported us, and helped shape who we are.

Whether you’re stopping in for coffee and pastries, picking out a bottle of wine, or simply spending time together, we hope this weekend feels slow, meaningful, and full of love.

Come by and let us help you celebrate the women who make life so special 🤍

Meet Morgan!!

Morgan has been part of the Aroma team for a year and a half, and her current go-to drink is an iced blackberry and blueberry oat milk matcha 🫐🥛🍵

One fun fact about Morgan? She drives manual 🚗

When asked if she’s a morning person or a night owl, she was quick to say night owl 🌙

Outside of work, Morgan loves spending time outside with friends whenever she can ☀️

If she could instantly master any skill, she said having perfect pitch would be amazing 🎶

Sweet or savory? Definitely sweet — especially anything with chocolate and peanut butter 🍫🥜

And of course, music is always playing somewhere in Morgan’s world 🎧
