Located in the middle of Hastings St, with a collection of wicker chairs all facing outwards, it's hard to miss the iconic Aromas at Noosa.
Modeled on a French cafe, Aromas is where to go to people-watch while getting your caffeine fix. It's kind of like watching reality TV but with fewer punch-ups and you can get cheesecake here.
So what's life like on the boulevard? Let's take a look.

I had been to Aromas many moons ago, and came away thinking it was a pretty standard cafe, with slightly hexy prices based on its location. While we were up for the 2015 Noosa Food and Wine Festival, we decided for a pit stop into Aromas again to see if things had changed. They had.
While the prices are still on the more expensive side of things (mains start at $30), you do get some real quality food and drinks for your coin.
Below we had:
I was pretty excited with the prospect of black pudding with the scallops. It was an interesting addition to these seafood morsels, and worked so well. The scallops themselves were a little over cooked, but you could still tell they were using some super fresh produce. The apple and bits of preserved lemon lifted the dish brilliantly.
The house made lemonade was a winner too, with piles of fresh lemon and lime squeezed into the glass. It was beautifully refreshing with the scallops.

Aromas has definitely lifted its game to serve up creative dishes that use fresh, local produce. So now you can eat beautiful food while you watch the beautiful people go by.
