Aroma Cafe is open (formerly Cafe Rossini, Cafe Lola)

The Aroma Cafe opened yesterday at 278 Highland Ave, just beyond Cedar Street, the former location of Cafe Rossini and Cafe Lola. When I stopped in, they were doing a good business from both locals and Somerville Open Studios visitors.

They served coffee today (unlike most places in Davis Square), and had supermarket-bought ice for my iced coffee. The new owner is a Greek woman named Olga, who was preparing the sandwiches today. The walls are now plain white, as they have removed all of Rossini/Lola's old décor.

No menu is posted yet; if you ask what meals they are selling, the cashier will read from a handwritten list. They have sandwiches, and will have Greek and American food, but not pizza (at least not yet).

They have no web site yet.

OMG YAY! I missed Rossini's - and Lola/Rossini's baked goods and smoothies were THE WIN.
I hope this place is better - the food before could stand for revitalization.

I'm glad you saw good business there yesterday. When I was in there on Saturday I was the only customer. They should put out a sandwich board or hang a big sign saying "Now Open". Since the place has been closed for months, it's likely fallen off the radar of many.
