Since we were in the area waiting to check in to our hotel we decided to stop by after hearing so many great things about this place. We waited about 40 minutes to be seated but it was absolutely worth it! From the drinks to the food everything was delicious . Now I understand why people are willing to wait to eat here! Definitely worth the visit!
I would probably give Bloom 3.5 stars - the portions are great but the flavor of the food is a bit lackluster. I visited with a few friends (party of 5) on a Sunday morning at 10am and we only had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table inside. The ambiance was very lively, and it was a great environment for us to hang and catch up. I ordered the chicken & waffles, which was quite good with fluffy waffles and juicy chicken. My husband got the breakfast burrito and while it looked amazing at first glance, it was severely lacking flavor and tasted like there was absolutely no salt...
#1 - Excellent service! From the hostess that took us to our table to our server, Dion F!! Both friendly and welcoming and Dion who was super helpful with describing the dishes, great recommendation, and constant check ins to make sure we were still good. #2 - Super cute place with indoor and outdoor seating .. great vibe! And... very clean... staff were constantly wiping down stuff #3 - I had the CARNITAS BENE (Scratch made Carnitas, fresh avocado and pickled onion stacked on our freshly baked English muffin. Topped with two poached medium eggs* and our scratch made pico de gallo. Served with duck fat potatoes) - super flavorful carnitas, perfectly poached egg. Not the traditional bene... no hollandaise sauce.. it is topped with pico de gallo instead. All in all ... great breakfast. Would I go back? Yes. Side note: one just opened in downtown SJ. I will need to check that on out too sometime.
Came for brunch on a very busy Sunday & stood outside waiting to dine in for only about 10 mins. Which was a surprise due to how busy they were! Upon entering, we were sat at beautiful bar area & greeted almost immediately. The decor inside is stunning & the entire restaurant was very bright. We ordered the Bloom Burger & Chicken & Waffles & enjoyed some racing on the bar TV while we waited for our meals. When our meals arrived, I was pleasantly surprised with how full my plate was with a massive burger, fries, & salad. Both meals were delicious & hit the spot for us. The bartenders made sure to check in when they could & keep our waters filled. Overall, we had a great experience & will be back to try more items!
My go-to brunch spot. Not open 7 days a week, make sure you check the days and hours! Holy moly--the Benedicts are absolutely delicious! Fresh OJ, killer bacon--it's always a 5/5 for food and service. A little on the small side, so plan ahead! Easy parking. Charming, delicious, and consistent!
I've had this booked for ages and finally got a chance to try this when visiting SJ. I heard the wait times can get crazy but I went when on a weekday so we walked right in and got seated. So many delicious menu options and I got their Blooms breakfast burrito which was absolutely loaded with marinated flank steak, scrambled eggs, grilled red onions, crispy potatoes, roasted chilies, fresh avocado and cheddar-jack cheese blend. The burrito was huge and the leftovers were almost enough for another meal. It was really good and hearty. All the ingredients tasted very fresh, the steak was a bit chewy but other than that it was good. Service was also fast and the waitress checked up on us a lot. Highly recommend for your next brunch spot or outing with the family.
Bloom is an excellent brunch spot with a vibrant ambiance that makes it a great place to gather with friends. The menu has plenty to enjoy, but the chicken and waffles were a standout and easily one of my favorite dishes. The combination of savory and sweet flavors makes it a particularly satisfying brunch option. If you're looking for a fun brunch destination with delicious food and an upbeat environment, Bloom is definitely worth checking out!
Easy to find parking in a Lucky Supermarket plaza. It gets busy for a Sunday brunch but I arrived around 11am and the wait was 35 minutes which surprised me at first but after dining here I can see why the wait is considerably shorter than other weekend brunch spots. The menu is very straightforward but still lots of options with good descriptions. The service is spectacular and quick. I was surprised to see our food out quick but still hot. There is plenty of seating indoor and outdoor but the clean up between groups is also very efficient from what I saw. Food portions and taste is also very good! The jumbo crab bene gives such generous portion of crab making it worth it.
Early bird came to this popular place finally. At 805 the restaurant is already half full. We took a glance at their fresh ingredients and debating what to order. Finally all doesn't disappoint us. We especially like the tartine as it's both crispy and soft. The Britto is also a good choice with stakes and veggies. This place feels so alive. You can choose to sit at either the inside or outside. Doesn't matter as you'll always feel a fresh smell of weekend morning.
Second location that we've tried. Same menu, but the food is pretty consistent at this location as well. Love that chicken and churro waffles. Trying to Philly sandwich for the first time and it was OK. Still like their bacon and brussels sprouts for an appetizer. The crab Benedict is always a good one to go to as well. But definitely recommend this location if you're in the area plenty of seating inside and out. Staff was really friendly and helpful.
You can expect a wait here anytime of the day. This is a great spot to come for brunch with your friends, family or colleagues. Everything we ordered was well presented and tasted just as good. The crispy French toast-style dish was perfectly golden and delicious, while the chilaquiles were loaded with fresh toppings, creamy avocado, eggs, and plenty of flavor. Everyone enjoyed their meal and I would definitely come back here to try other dishes.
Typical brunch spot. But I think it was overhyped. Scramble with chicken sausage 3/5 - it was decent and portion was good but nothing very special. It needed more flavor. Had to ask for hot sauce. Potatoes were good
Definitely a brunch place we're gonna keep coming back to. Incredibly tasty food. Fresh, flavorful and primo ingredients. Magnificent food presentation and lively atmosphere with prompt and pleasant service. Put it on your to-go list!
Visited Bloom with a friend on a Thursday for brunch and it was pretty busy. Luckily, there was no wait and service was great. Very attentive staff. The menu is huge and I'm happy they have regular lunch options on top of typical breakfast and brunch items such as croissant French toast and eggs Benedict. I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich which came with a side of garlic fries and small salad. Portion was great and the food was delicious. I also got a side of their aioli which was amazing with the fries. Overall, I'd be back. Service was great and food was delicious. I don't know if it's worth the wait though on the weekends but for a weekday brunch spot, definitely worth it. Plenty of parking in the lot as well. read more

Was a good experience! We came here on Saturday at 8am, right after opening and it was getting packed. We sat in the patio which was cold but also fun -- we got a cute space heater and it was cozy. Now the food was expensive. - Lavender Hour ($11) very delish but expensive -- I think for the amount you get and the ice the maximum should be $8. But the Ube was really good -- can't recommend more - Garden Scramble was literally cheesy eggs, zucchinis, tomatoes, and two slices of bread with fruit, not really filing but was a fun experience. - Crossiant French Toast very unhealthy for a breakfast but yum otherwise, a lot of cream. Overall it was $65 for brunch after taxes and tip which was expensive but a fun experience. read more
Bloom is a fun, lively brunch spot with nice decor and a good vibe, though it can get pretty loud and busy. We went for brunch and there was a bit of a wait, which seems normal here. We ordered the chilaquiles, chicken and waffles, and garlic fries. The chilaquiles were tasty but a little salty and could've used more sauce. The chicken and waffles had a unique sweet and spicy flavor that was interesting. The garlic fries were honestly the highlight - crispy, flavorful, and really good. For drinks, we had the Lovers Lane, hot toddy, and a mimosa. All were good, just nothing super memorable. Also, they felt pricey for what we got. Service was solid even with the crowd. Overall, a good brunch spot if you don't mind the wait and noise. read more

I came on a Saturday around 11 and the wait for 2 was 30-40 minutes. While we waited we went and got coffee at Starbucks and sat in there so it wasn't too bad of a wait and ended up getting a text like 27 min after we put our name down. The inside is simple but cute, there is a bar and some TVs to watch but it doesn't make it like a sports bar atmosphere, still a nice breaky place. I got the croque madam and my friend got the special of steak Benedict's. I got a grapefruit mimosa and she got a guava mimosa. Both with fresh squeezed juice and they were really good!!! Service was sooooo friendly and fast, I wish I got her name. Food was delish, I'll definitely be back! read more

Overall, the service, the ambience plating of the food, how fast the food came!! The taste all amazing I definitely recommend this spot. I will be back to try more things on the menu!!! read more
Bloom isn't just a place to relax it's an experience that wraps you in comfort the moment you walk in. The menu is full of thoughtful, exciting options, each one crafted with real care. I ordered the steak and eggs, and they were nothing short of exceptional: perfectly cooked, deeply flavorful, and plated with the kind of precision you only expect from high-end dining. My friends ordered the fried chicken with waffles, and their reactions said it all pure joy. The chicken was crispy and tender, the waffles fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness, creating that perfect sweet-savory balance everyone hopes for. From the atmosphere to the food, Bloom goes above and beyond. A place you don't just visit you look forward to returning to. read more
This is one of our favorite go to places for breakfast!! Wait line can be crazy if you arrive after 10:30 (we waited 2 hours once). However it is definitely worth the wait... Their food is definitely top quality!! We love love love the croissant French toast! Kids can probably eat that daily. I have also tried their veggie scramble which is really good too. Churro waffle also awesome choice as well as pancake. Highly recommend this place!! read more
The service was excellent -- experienced at least 4 different team members tend to our table. The food was colorful and flavorful. I asked for one grilled jalapeños and they 3x the portion with a mix of serranos; it was definitely a spicy kick! Ambience was bright and welcoming. Would return again. read more

Long anticipated visit finally happened! This place of high talks did not disappoint, and with a time crunch we were seated pretty quickly. Ambiance was a mixture of hip, yet cozy atmosphere, with an upbeat vibe to it. Service was attentive and fast! Matcha Ube drink was AMAZINGLY delicious and had to fight myself from ordering 2 more (it's one of those drinks you want bottomless glasses of). But the STAR entree for me was the fresh jumbo crab bene (Benedict)!! It was as fresh as if you're ordering at SF Fisherman's Wharf and I couldn't get enough!! One of the best fresh tasting crab you'll ever experience - without having to go to SF Fisherman's Wharf. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning and was luckily seated in a few minutes. The interior was very nice with floral decor around and a hanging plant on top of us. We browsed the menu and they had a separate all-day breakfast and lunch menu that started at 11am. Smoked Chicken Apple Sausage Scramble (3/5) - They definitely didn't skimp out on the sausage as there was a load of it. It was delicious with a nice smokey taste to it. I think it was a bit too watery with the cherry tomato in it. The dish was very watery at the end, which killed my appetite a bit. The seasonal fruits had fruits that wasn't really in season. The melon wasn't that sweet and the strawberry was sour. Overall, the atmosphere was great. I may come back and try a different dish if so. read more
Went in a large group of 11 adults and 4 kids. They couldn't find us a table to sit together and we were divided into 3 tables. It did feel like we were a bit too many for that restaurant. We ordered avacado toast, vegetarian benedict, fries for kids, Brussel sprouts, cheese platter , orange juice on our table. I m not a big fan of cheese so didn't like it as much. I liked the Brussel sprouts one but it was a bit too oily. Other dishes we ordered were good too. I was surprised they didn't have capacuccino or latte and only regular coffee. May be because it was lunch time by the time I asked for it. read more
Visited Bloom for the first time for birthday brunch and had a great time with my girls. This place look small from the outside but inside was quite spacious, it's bright and have a nice aesthetic touch. Service was fast and attentive. I ordered chicken & waffle, it was good but I think I will order something else next time because I tried my friend's potato and it on a different level!!! Told our server that we came for a birthday brunch and he got each of us birthday girl a pancake on the house, so sweet of him, really made our day feel special! Cant wait to comeback to try their cocktails! read more

One of popular innovative brunch places we decided to try. Arrived around 10:30am, Saturday, and found a long line. Checked in and told the wait is 40 minutes. They paged us in about 30 and we were seated soon after. It was so loud that we cannot really carry a conversation. They should put some sound absorption material on the walls. Ordering was quite quick and pleasant, even it was a packed place. We noticed the orange juicing machine and all oranges were pre-washed. That's quite appreciated. The "butterfly lemonade" was Lychee flavor and came with a vial of purple sweetener to make a dramatic pour. Then it was delicious. Coffee was slightly weak and also burnt, guess it was over-roasted for latte drinkers. Chicken and Waffle was absolutely delicious. Chicken was battered and boneless. Waffles did not need syrup, although it did not hurt either. Crab meat Benedict was well made. The Hollandaise sauce was brightly acid, muffin thick and soft. Potato was fried soft, not crisp, and tossed with garlic which I like. I can see the ingredients are of good quality and cooking done well. But it was impossible to get a table casually, unless planned strategically on timing. Good things come to those who waited? read more

The duck fat potatoes are phenomenal. So yummy. Everything I have tried from here has been delicious. I always recommend this place to friends. Lots of parking available, good service, and great food. It's also super cute inside. read more

This place is so good! The food was delicious, especially the potatoes. Nothing was too sweet or too salty, it was all so flavorful and cooked to perfection. The only thing that could use a tiny bit of improvement would be the matcha. It could've had more ube flavor in the cold foam, but other than that it was tasty and the presentation of it was cute. I definitely recommend this restaurant! read more
We waited 1 hour for our table but luckily they texted us when the table was ready. We had 3 dishes to share: 8/10 chicken and waffles: waffles fluffy and chicken was thin and delicious not super juicy though 9/10 Carnitas bene: get the potatoes, they are so garlicky and delicious and the meat was so tender and flavorful 6/10 carbonara: noodles were overcooked? They kept breaking and it was a bit salty. There was a lot of chunks of meat in them though Overall I think good brunch spot maybe don't order the lunch stuff read more
My husband and I decided to check this place out because of its high rating. So, when we drove up to the plaza and saw the crowd, we were excited because if it was that busy it had to be really good. We waited about 45 minutes (which we were told when we put our name in) and sat in the car until we received a text. We were seated at a table on the left side of the restaurant for two people. The tables are pretty close together which I get is to maximize space. But our tables were so close together that it was hard for us to get into our table without bumping into the one next to us. Our server came to our table and provided us our menus quickly. We looked it over and put our orders in shortly after that. While waiting, the host who led us to our seat told us we had to move to accommodate a bigger party. I was a little disappointed but I understood since it was so busy and it was only a table over. No big deal. But, once we moved, she combined the two tables next to us and then moved a chair to the side facing our table. Essentially, the back of that new chair was a few inches away from our table and we were already feeling cramped to begin with. We put our orders in and my husband had the chicken and waffles and fries. I had the carnitas bene and brussel sprouts. It took a bit of time for the food to come out. The first time a person dropped off our food, they gave 1/2 of our dishes correctly. They had accidentally given us someone else's order and I had to wait longer for my correct order to be given. That was disappointing. When my dish finally got to our table, I had asked for some Tabasco sauce. Our server forgot it and I eventually had to ask a different person to deliver us the hot sauce. Lastly, my dish was a bit disappointing. The carnitas weren't dry but they lacked a lot of flavor and seasoning. It was very bland. My husband's waffles were great and the chicken was also moist, but again lacked seasoning. The Brussels sprouts fine. Garlic fries were very good. I think it's in a good location (not too far from Santana Row and in a plaza with ample parking). The inside is really cute as well. Maybe it was just part of the morning rush and thats why our service or food wasn't as great. Might try again but won't be rushing to go back. read more

I keep coming back to this brunch spot! My go-to dish is the French Toast croissant, it is soft yet crispy on the edges, the whip cream is thick and creamy, and the fruit is fresh. I love bringing people to try this place out because it's a 10/10 service each time. read more
First time here and even on a rainy day, it is quite busy. We waited for about an hour and got serve quickly. The food was amazing and portion was huge! You can honestly share a plate with another person. I got the lavender lychee martini and I was told the Bloody Mary is delicious. Defiantly have to try that next. Ambiance is cute and cozy. Though, it feels quite crowded with the space between the tables and people trying to go to the bathroom. I would recommend coming here. read more

Got invited here for my birthday but the food was not that good imo. They do charge for bringing your own cake which was a bummer so you might want to consider that before choosing to celebrate your birthday here but the service was great and they bring me a stack of pancakes with a candle which was actually pretty darn good (and I'm not a fan of Pancakes, so you can imagine how good they must be) read more
first time to bloom over the weekend this past weekend. My girlfriend took me here for brunch and the ambience was a sit down café without a wait. We were able to make it before the rush hour. I ended up getting the French toast croissant. The vanilla sauce was great , fresh fruits were awesome read more
We needed a brunch restaurant during our travel to Santa Clara on a day trip. This hit the spot! The breakfast was delicious, the restaurant was cute and the service was attentive and efficient! At first I thought we'd have to wait for a while since the place looked very packed. However, they sat us within 5 minutes and everything was amazing! read more

Still one of my favorite brunch spots in the South Bay. Consistently good food and quick service. It does get crowded on the weekends, so be prepared to wait if you get there after 9am. Luckily there is always plenty of parking. read more

this place was amazing! cute interior and great food. we ordered the carnitas bene and the croissant french toast. carnitas bene was delicious and didn't feel heavy at all. they also let us choose between a side of fruit or potatos. the croissant french toast was a yummy item as well. we didn't add any syrup since it was plenty sweet for us already. the portions are pretty big, so we were definitely quite full despite sharing both dishes. the service was 10/10! we already knew what we wanted to order, so we were able to get our food within 15 minutes of sitting down. i can't wait to go back :D read more
Got there around 10:45am on a Saturday and were met with a 45 minute wait. We chose to sit outside with the heater since inside was pretty crowded and loud. It was warm enough, but a little awkward at times with people standing right behind you while you're trying to eat, plus some cigarette smoke drifting through. Food was decent overall. The chicken and waffles were just okay, the chicken was on the thinner side. The churro waffle was pretty good, and the carnitas benedict was solid and something I'd order again. Service was fine. They forgot our bacon, but also didn't charge us for it. Overall, a good not great experience. I'd come back to try a few other dishes. 3.5 stars read more

absolutely recommend this place. worth the one hour drive i did. worth the 25-30min wait we had (probably would've been shorter but we had a dog so had to be outdoor table). amazing IG picture worthy food but its taste actually matched the visual and more! great, genuinely friendly, professional service staff. absolute gem of a place that i almost want to gatekeep it as lines get long on the weekends. found by a friend of mine who came by on a weekday lunch when there was no line. definitely worth coming back for many more visits. read more

Tried this brunch place on a Saturday morning around 9:30am and the wait was about 30-45 minutes, theres plenty of seating inside and a few tables outside. We sat towards the back, ordered our food immediately and food came out shortly. Big portions of food that can be shared, ambiance can get loud depending on where you are sitting. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. read more
Cane by for Sunday brunch and this place was packed! My table tried the Carnitas Bene, Chicken and Waffle, and breakfast burrito. Food came fairly quick and was pretty solid. Carnitas Bene: 4/5 Great portion as it comes with 2 huge benedict with carnitas on top and potatoes. Small ding on the potato as half of it was not fully cooked. Some pieces were still hard in the inside. But the ones that were fully cooked were delicious and crispy. The salsas they gave on the side were also a nice touch. Chicken and Waffle: 3.5/5 Presentation was nice, but tasted just okay. Chicken could have been more crispy. Friendly service, nice atmosphere, lots of natural lighting inside, and lots of parking as it's in a plaza. read more

Went here for Valentine's Day breakfast! They had a special menu with loads of different items to try. Absolutely loved the drinks and food, per usual. The ube matcha was brilliant, really loved it. Husband's gin cocktail had a cute ice cube which said "bloom". So adorable! For food we had the eggs bene and the croque Monsieur. It's always a favorite and really hits the spot! Also tried the apple dessert - so light and delicious. Loved it. The staff is really friendly and the ambiance is so cozy with gorgeous plants hanging all around the main dining area. The bar is also very pretty! Couple points to remember: 1) If you come after 9:30 am it gets super busy and has long wait times. 2) There are only 2 restrooms for the entire restaurant so expect a wait to use the restroom as well. 3) no reservations, walk in only. Overall, a great place and a must visit for breakfast or brunch in South Bay, one of my reliable favorites! Go check it out. read more
came here with the family for a late breakfast and it was delicious! service is friendly and efficient. started with the duck fat potatoes - they are a must! so garlicky and decadent. the potatoes were nice and crispy and hot. reminded me of the garlic fries from Gordon Biersch back in the days. YUM The crab benedict is amazing. SO MUCH LUMP CRAB (no filler). what a great deal too. It came on their home made english muffin which was one of the best. Light, airy and tall. Another winner The sweet potato corned beef hash was good. Definitely filling with plenty of food. Personal preference would have been to cube/dice/hash the corned beef more. It was shredded vs the traditional style of hash so it made it slightly more difficult to eat. the breakfast burrito is HUGE. Very solid, tasty burrito. Hit the spot! Get some toast or a side of an english muffin, especially if you like jam. the blackberry (?) jam is so great. Seedless, fresh and sweet. It's like biting into summer. read more

Are there any vegan options or substitutions?
Yes there are options on the menu and you can always ask your server for subs.
