A not so hidden gem on Monroe Street, Bloom is well worth the sometimes challenge of finding a parking spot. Walking into this bake shop is like walking in to a French Patisserie, with a Nordic twist or two. The Daytripper/Fieldtripper loaf is a meal in itself, and my favorite. The staff is unfailingly kind and sympathetic when you arrive too late in the day for your favorite pastry. read more

Ok this place has THE BEST gluten free bakery. I've had the donuts and scones in the past-- so good and today I just tried their sourdough bread. It is concerningly good. Normally I hardly eat bread at all, but I want to eat this whole loaf... Like it's a problem. It's been over a decade since I've had bread this good (pre celiacs)-- The consistency is amazing. And I bake a lot of homemade bread so I'm not just eating the Styrofoam version of gf bread. Thank you! I wish I could eat here more often, but I think Id gain 30 lb read more

Been here a few times now, lovely little space to work and enjoy a croissant with a coffee from their neighbors (inside same building). Grab a pitcher of water from the register area and spend some time enjoying the finer things in life, like a Sunday morning baked item from Bloom! read more

On a recent weekend trip to Madison we visited Bloom Bake Shop after a friend recommended it. The prosciutto focaccia sandwich was absolutely amazing! The ham & Gruyère croissant and molasses cookie were also very good. We were there on a Sunday morning and the line was out the door but it moved pretty fast and it was well worth the wait. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town. read more

Wonderful bakery with great cakes and pastries. I also love that they cater to different allergies. The service was quick and efficient. You just have to remember that the line can get long. The ambience was bright, colourful and inviting, even if the space was a little small and cramped. read more

Wow everything that we got was so yummy! We saw lots of good reviews about Bloom Bake Shop on Yelp and decided to check it out. It didn't disappoint us! We got their Carrot Cupcake, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, salted caramel brownie and sweet potato donut and didn't disappoint. Recommend to try their soft and not over-sweet sweet potato donut and rich and thick and homey cookies if you don't know what to get, but honestly everything was good! read more

I cannot get enough of this place-- I've stopped in multiple times, and have had no regrets, and many cravings since. Every single thing here is amazing, the Cruffin is SOOOOOOO good. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. There is a rewards program, so grab a punch card! Always new things, and lots of special events like Valentines day, Mardi gras, etc,. On Monroe street, next to lots of other shops and local digs. Stop in on the go, or order in advance online! No official parking lot, but easy metered parking on the street. Will be coming back! read more

In very early Spring I was in a cinnamon roll kick and the only ones that would do were from Bloom. They're other pastries are great as well but I literally thought about their cinnamon rolls daily. The wait staff is super nice, very helpful and willing to suggest tasty treats. The location I went to have a cute coffee shop and brewery in it (brewery closed in the AM when I went). It has a very cozy feel. read more

Amazing as always, we live out of the area and when in town always put Bloom as a priority. The croissants are always delicious whether it's the savory or sweet. The chocolate chip sea salt cookies are amazing. The breads are delicious and nice crunchy exterior with a soft and delicious interior, and definite stop when I'm in the area. read more

If you need a lunch spot in Madison, GO HERE, hands down. Everything (or majority) is locally sourced, pastries made fresh daily, and brunch cocktails and teas/coffee are amazing! Bake is in their name and they really know how to do it! Brunch is busy but there is a hostess that helps direct traffic and scopes out a table for you when one opens. You order at the counter where all the pastries are displayed and then have a number to put at your table. Mimosa was delightful, really fresh OJ. Bloody Mary has this like roasted garlic that makes it delish, although I like mine more spicy. Excellent garnishes with the sweet potato donut! Also got the Tumeric Ginger Chai and that was amazing - all the flavors really come through! My friend got the regular coffee and it was great too. Pastries - it was really hard for us to not get 1 of everything! We loved everything we got, but if you must choose one, I would go for the puff pastry - its so flaky and they serve it to you toasted. So delicious. Main dishes we got the southern sandwich and although the biscuits look large on each end, they are actually very fluffy inside and brings the sandwich together. I enjoyed my poached eggs and has browns - simple but still had great flavor, They have some beet 'ketchup' on the side which is unique - didn't love it but didn't hate it either. We ordered so much (2 entrees, 3 pastries, 2 cocktails, and 2 tea/coffee) and our bill was much less than I anticipated. Very reasonably priced for the quality! Overall this meal was a real win for me! Will be back! read more

Their cupcakes.... YES PLEASE! Explosion of goodness on my tastebuds! Oh my god, these were delicious. Bloom cupcakes have got to be one of the best in both IL and WI bakeries. These are loaded with amazingness and have been blessed by the angels. Seriously, get a cupcake and be ready for an after digested sigh of "That was good". Mmmmm.... read more

I ordered a gluten free birthday cake (vanilla and raspberry) for my sons 40th birthday. I really liked that fresh flowers could be added for a very small charge. the cake itself was BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS!!!!!! Bloom Bake Shop really made my sons day even more special and memorable. It was like you could taste the care and love put into it. We will 100% be back for more baked goods. 15/10 stars. read more

I loved Bloom Bake Shop! There was a pretty long line when we got there which is a good thing. It moved quickly and ordering was quick and easy. We got 2 cookies, an almond croissant, a coffee and a 6 pack of macarons. Everything was so good. The brown butter chocolate chip cookies were soft and rich and full of flavor. The almond croissant was one of the biggest and best I've ever had and the macarons were perfect. We found this place kind of by mistake but I'm very happy we did. I can't wait to come back to try some of their savory offerings and honestly would make the trip over just for the croissant again! read more

Love my neighborhood bake shop! I am always greeted with a smile and everyone who works here is so nice. Tons of savory options and sweet options, and I haven't had anything I didn't like. They have an entire case that's devoted to gluten-free or vegan items as well! Coffee drinks menu is available too, but it's really the pastries and breads that shine. Love that they have a walk up window for ordering when it gets warm enough outside! You won't regret trying this place out! read more

I don't even know what to say about a bake shop that overbakes a brownie and charges 5 bucks for it. Wait - yes, I do. Bloom is overrated and overpriced. Also, they still require masks. Not a dig - they're absolutely allowed to run their business as they see fit. Just letting you know! read more

The best almond croissants in Madison!! They have a great selection in the mornings and the workers are so friendly. read more

I have been searching Madison for an organic whole grain sourdough bread for years. I was just thrilled when I found one at Bloom Bake house. Recently they decided to stop carrying it but the owners worked with me and Mark made up a special order for me and I couldn't be happier. Having some health issues too so it really was great timing. Highly recommend them! read more

Hmmm, not so much. We're from out of town and went here because they advertised vegan options. They do indeed have a great selection of vegan options including donuts, cupcakes, cookies, scones, and coffee cake. There is nowhere to sit, so be aware of that. The pastries we got (cookies and coffee cake) tasted strongly of fried food. Not sure why since nothing would have been fried. Maybe it was their choice of oil? Not sure. I also tried to order a decaf coffee and was told they don't have decaf! What? I asked if they were out of decaf or if they never have it and they said they never have it. First time I've ever gone into a bakery or coffee house anywhere and not been able to get decaf. Odd choice. read more

How is Bloom getting any less than ? As a long time celiac suffer, making my own GF goodies has been my challenge. Trust me when I say the BBS are masters! We are from Mpls and Bloom is a mandatory stop as we're here several times a year. Yes the cinnamon donuts are great, but the coffee cake and sour dough heads were fantastic! Thank you Bloom for the beautiful food and the fantastic staff hospitality. You are doing it right! read more

Baked items are yummy! Had the vegan SOS minus the meat - gravy had a hint of curry and made it so delicious!! The biscuit is so hearty one was more than enough. My son had the egg Benedict which he loved! It's a great place to have a warm bfast before heading to the WISCONSIN football game so if you're wondering if you should try it, my vote is YES! read more

The best bakery in Madison! They have such interesting pastries and really get the sweet/salty combo done right. If you're a big fan of baked goods with sea salt this is the place to go. Everyone is so sweet here and they also have gender neutral bathrooms . I'm absolutely obsessed. read more

My kids and I love their pastries. We go to their booth most Sundays at the Monroe Street farmers market. Very friendly staff.

4.5 if I could give a half Great gluten free bakery! The donuts are amazing, cookies are good, the other gluten free items are ok but not the best I ever had.... the donuts on the other hand are the best! They have a slightly Apple taste with the cinnamon and sugar ones, the chocolate frosted ones was equally delicious. Light, buttery, hubby devoured his half and never even knew it was GF. I ordered the pop tart- raspberry with something. The dough was a little tough but certainly a good option in the land of GF bakery. The cupcakes were ok. All of these things were consumed after leaving the bakery. The hostess is very friendly but it's a little odd to need one. She greets you and gets the number in your party. Then you wait in the line and order, the you go back to the hostess who tells you which table to sit at, but she doesn't take you there. They bring your food to you when it's ready. I ordered a GF biscuit, it was good. The homemade jam was very good, great fruit flavor. By far the best thing is the donuts, if you're ever in Madison I highly recommend going there. Based on how good the GF items are (very hard to do well) I would think that the other things are amazing! And the number of oblivious, repeat locals in the place on a Saturday morning would support my theory. read more

The owners are super sweet they come out to say Hi to all their customers. The staff are also very nice and are super friendly and answer any questions you may have. We love their croissant sandwiches and their twice baked croissants. The sweet potato donut Is a must try. There are so many different options I can't wait to go back and try all their delicious treats. The cutest part was that they even have a dog cupcake in case you bring your little furry friend with you. read more

Nicole was wonderful to work with for my wedding cake. First, she helped me as we were on a budget so we had a 3 tier cake and then regular cakes that were in the serving kitchen which cut down costs. Second I never got to try the cake as I live out of town. Nicole was so helpful and hosted my mom and aunts to try the cake. She was kind and listened as I shared which cakes my mon liked. Nicole helped me use their feedback, suggesting which cakes would be the most moist based on what we were looking for. We ended up with vegan vanilla , chocolate caramel and caramel chocolate. The cakes were moist and sweet, the way I like them. I picked Bloom as they make the most beautiful instagram worthy cakes. When I saw my wedding cake in person it was exactly what I was looking for, beautifully simplistic. read more

I would say that this restaurant is very very very thoughtful and filled with people who love serving. We were treated with respect and I really appreciate that. The restaurant is vegan friendly and everyone friendly. Thank you! I would suggest their daily speciality. Also a nice donut after your meal. This place is truly "blooming". College aged people taking their phones out and snapping. Tik toking. Instagramming. You name it. Very cool bathroom also. read more

A true treasure of Monroe Street. One of the most delightful bake shops. The level of excellence in a wide variety of goods is across the board really, really high, and the culture of the place is gracious and very warm - you can tell a lot by ownership and how they run a business by the joy (or lack of it) with which workers go about their work. Here, it is patently obvious the people who work here thoroughly love what they're doing and this, to me, is a credit both to themselves and to the owners. Just excellent. read more

Long due visit! This is a cute little local cafe that closes at 6pm on weekdays. They have vegan cream cupcakes which are quiet nice and filling. We had the carrot cupcake as well as the almond rose cupcake. The decorating cream is a nice touch. We also loved the ambiance of well lit comfortable seating to go along with a big mug of coffee. They also have some card games. This is right on front of trader Joe's so makes for a good stop after groceries read more

Absolutely adore this place - it's by far my favorite breakfast hangout in a town loaded with dozens of superb breakfast joints. The buttermilk biscuits are superb, either on their own or as part of a breakfast sandwich. The Wisconsin Sandwich, thick-cut bacon, egg, cheese and stone-ground mustard served on a biscuit deserves a spot in the pantheon of Madison breakfast all-stars. The cupcakes and sweet potato doughnuts also deserve special mention. The food alone at Bloom would warrant a five star rating, the service level matches the quality of the food. AnneMarie, the proprietor of Bloom, checks in with all of her customers, whether it be their first time at the restaurant or long time patrons. In the off chance something is not right, she will make it right. read more

Bloom Bake Shop is an absolutely delightful place in Madison Wisconsin. Bloom is perfect for the breakfast/brunch crowd. Bloom serves a variety of hearty breakfast foods along with (sweet) baked goods at a not-so-bad price. Recommended by my friend to visit here on my last day in Madison, I am glad to have come here. The staff is friendly, store is clean, and food is delicious. You really can't go wrong with anything you order here.

Go here, buy anything, experience true joy when you take your first bite. I highly recommend Bloom! Stopped in for a quick breakfast on a lovely Saturday morning. They offer mobile ordering and they let a few customers in at a time to order in person. With plenty of baked goods and freshly made food, everyone is sure to find something they want. I happened to find three things I wanted. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and it was probably the single greatest breakfast sammy I've ever had. Delicious, buttery, homemade biscuit holding in bacon, egg, and cheese. You really can't ask anymore from a breakfast sandwich. On the sweet side I got a cinnamon roll and a chocolate chip cookie. The cinnamon roll was the perfect amount of sweet and had a real Goldilocks amount of frosting (just right). It was great right there out of the case, but when I took it home and warmed it up... Out of this world. I hope they sell whole pans of them because I will definitely ask the next time I'm there. As for the chocolate chip cookie, they again knocked it out of the park. It didn't take long to order or to get our food. They have plenty of gluten free and vegan options, so there's truly something for everyone! read more

Bloom Bake Shop - Nice! - Bakeries Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

When they are good, they're great! Slightly inconsistent though. Once had a cruffin that had almost no filling. Might have been the same day I eyed up the cookies, which all looked overbaked. That said, the other two times I've gotten the cruffins, they were amazing. Beautiful layers, nice filling that is creamy but not cringy-sweet and just yum. The sweet potato doughnut is tasty, solid, and probably the most consistent product. Tried the lemon tart--the filling was a bit runny but the taste was on point. read more

Bloom was poppin' on Sunday morning- and for good reason. The staff was exceptionally nice and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Every single bake item looked fantastic. I wanted to try them all, but I was directed there to try a biscuit and I had to stick to my plan. I had a 2 egg plate with 2 sides. The beet hash ended up being my favorite thing I tried because it was so flavorful and unique, but the biscuit and fresh jam was mouth watering, and the side salad was refreshing. The endless cup of coffee was the perfect accompaniment for the dish. I definitely want to go back to try the savory pop tarts... and every other baked thing there. read more
