Love the Aruma Jelly Frappe, Blue Berry Cheesecake and Banoffee Cake, Clubhouse Sandwich. Cool ambience. One of my favorite hang-outs in Iligan City where I meet my friends.

I enjoyed the better part of a pleasant afternoon at Aruma Coffee Lounge seated at one of the outdoor tables, shaded under the awning. I was meeting some friends there for coffee and conversation and since it had just rained it cooled off making the outdoor tables an attractive alternative to being seated inside. A quick look at the menu... More

Still enjoy coming here time and time again. For coffee and cake it is hard to beat. Atmosphere is still good and the staff are friendly. The hours are a bit short and the range of food limited but then the kitchen is small and would not cater for a wide menu. Black outs affect operations on occasions and beggers... More

I loooove the tongue in cheek naming of this place. It automatically makes it a very casual place. The corner which it is on has just the right amount of "busy" in it. Great selection of food, pastries and coffee. Would love to visit again, if only for the wifi.

A nice coffee shop located downtown, but don't expect anything special. One of the worst features is the short hours they are opened. Does not open until 11am which usually means 11:30 and closes at 9pm. Hours are even shorter on weekends. The pasta is good, but would be better if they offered more varieties of food and desserts. They... More

This is the best coffee shop by a long shot in Iligan City. Well located, clean, good atmosphere, good service and most of all you can get a good range of coffees unlike the American brewed crap that you get elsewhere. The Banoffee cake is by far a huge hit and is always worth a try. The staff are very... More

The Aruma Coffee Lounge is one of Iligan's undiscovered Gems. The decor inside makes you feel at home the moment that you walk in. The place is clean and the owner/staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. The food is absolutely amazing! Each dish offers its own unique flavor that complements perfectly the next. My personal favorite is the Banofee Pie!
