Comments on: Aroma Bakery and Market Looking Good http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2009/08/aroma-bakery-and-market-looking-good/ Welcome to the beautiful life Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:45:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Anonymous http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2009/08/aroma-bakery-and-market-looking-good/#comment-41383 Anonymous Mon, 31 Aug 2009 17:47:27 +0000 http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2009/08/aroma-bakery-and-market-looking-good/#comment-41383 I'm glad they are there, it nice to have a place to buy deli meat. But, they really need to learn how to use the slicer. I ordered pastrami, and they hacked the poor thing in to a square and then sliced me a bunch of perfectly square 4inch by 4 inch slices -- the wrong way on the grain.... But, nice people, and if they sold bread, I'd be there all the time (after I gave them a slicer class). I’m glad they are there, it nice to have a place to buy deli meat.

Went in on Sunday, and was underwhelmed. Maybe when they start baking and ramp up it'll be better (I hope so, b/c this would be a great addition), but for now its just sort of poorly stocked sandwich case (they didn't even have hoagie spread (the hot red peppers)). It was okay, but underwhelming. I wish they would go over to Taylor Deli or Dupont Market on 18th Steet/Swann, order a few sandwiches, and then just copy it. Went in on Sunday, and was underwhelmed.

Wouldn't be much of a bakery without that key element. I spoke with Mr. Aroma last night and he assured me that they will indeed be baking themselves.

It's pretty much just a small sandwich shop, and yeah it is definitely under-utilizing the space. They could comfortably prepare and sell the half-dozen sandwiches they offer in a space 1/3 as large.

Is it going to be a bakery that . . . bakes? Does “waiting to stock up” on baked goods mean that they are not actually doing their baking themselves? Is it going to be a bakery that . . . bakes?

Perhaps things will improve over time. I hope so. I really wanted to like this place — good sandwich options being very hard to come by — but the sandwich I got was unfortunately not very good.

They are waiting to stock up most of their items (particularly baked goods) until the fall. I guess they are waiting out the slow summer doldrums by keeping inventory down. Seems strange on the timing - why open the store at all then? But I'm very glad they will be stocking up, and having some basic deli options nearby is a great thing.

I can't wait to check it out. I used to hang out regularly at his bar up in Cleveland Park. Richard Aroma’s latest venture looks promising. I can’t wait to check it out.
