Food - I love the bento format and they have a TON of options. They had a bunch of vegetarian and vegan options as well as other dietary restrictions. All the food was tasty and reasonably priced. The portions were quite good too. I was very impressed by the flavor despite the gluten free element - cliche but not everywhere that does gluten free does it well. This place does! They also had a unique canned drink selection too. Service - they were very patient and explained everything. They also were speedy and made some solid recommendations. Ambiance - there's a few areas to sit down, but not too many. I think it's more a grab and go spot based on the fast food style set up and packaging (which is all compostable!). It's also only open for lunch on weekdays so that makes sense for the working crowd. The little raised tables facing the window give a nice lighting and view though and the decor is modern and bright. read more

Bloom - BYO bento - Gluten-Free Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'd give this restaurant 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 because you get a large amount of food for your money. They're going for healthy fast casual style counter service with an "ethic fusion" flair. Decent number of options including vegetarian, vegan, etc. It's not cheap but the servings are large: big enough for 2 meals for a lot of people. The food tends to be pretty heavy/oily, which contributes to how filling it is but also leaves you feeling weird after your meal. Flavor is otherwise pretty good. They also seem to run out of ingredients pretty often. Overall it's ok for a quick lunch but not my favorite. The shape of the restaurant is clearly intended for take out, but they do have some seating along the windows. read more

For a counter-service, lunch only place, it's really nice inside. Small detail, but I think it matters to the people of Bloom. That comes through in their food too. I have another veg/vegan place I go to in the area, but often times the flavors and textures blend together. Bloom uses a compostable box with separate sections for each dish. The sections are deep so dishes don't blend. This is not a small detail and it matters. The veggie dishes were all on point. I will try the falafel next. read more

I haven't heard of this place before until I saw it on one of the food apps and so I decided to give it a try. It's pretty close to where I work which is a bonus. I like that it's a bento box style where items are kept separately in the container so it doesn't get mixed. The items are fresh and clean and pretty good. I got the salmon with some grains and bok choy as well as an apple salad. Everything was pretty good. Prices are standard I think. The salmon did cost a little more than other protein but that makes sense. I did get a chance to talk to the lady for a bit to learn more about them and currently, their hours are limited to lunch time Monday through Friday but they are hoping to extend it in the future. read more

This is such a great option for a healthy, fresh lunch! I built my own box - choosing turkey meatballs for protein, grains for base, and a variety of veg forward sides. Everything was light and fresh and super flavorful. The protein and grains were maybe a little boring, but I loved all the sides. read more

So I tried this place for the first time today. When you first walk in, the place is small but very nice. The aesthetic is very modern and open. The place looks very clean, the food looks and smells amazing, and all the people who work there are so kind. The employees really helped us go through the line and recommended some yummy options. I got the land box while my friend got the sea box. It was delicious. There are so many different options to choose from that I am definitely going to have to go back to try more. The chicken was perfectly cooked and all the sides were so good. Even the little side salad had such a yummy sesame vinaigrette. I will definitely be going back. read more

Eating here made me feel proud of myself for having such a healthy lunch. We both got the land box and i like how many components there are to it! The chicken's so flavorful (reminds me of chipotle chicken in the best way with the smokier flavor) the multiple types of salad with different dressings giving different flavor profiles, and i dug out some sourdough from my fridge that went with it all perfectly. The only part I didn't like as much was the mushroom and collard greens but that was just due to a personal taste preference I know I have. read more

Bloom - Land Box - Gluten-Free Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Yay for another healthy and quick option around the downtown hotel district! Got the sea box and land box, a few thoughts: Sea box: 4.5/5 - healthy, tasty, at the right price point. I think they're ramping up so the food is warm but not super fresh tasting, maybe just a touch dry. Sides (beets, zucchini noodles) are good. Land box: 3.5/5 - chicken way too dry, sides healthy but not great. Kale side was great, the potatoes surprisingly "too healthy tasting" :) I think a bit of added salt, oil, or just even moisture would help. I felt the price-quality ratio is a touch off right now, but hopefully they iterate in what's working and get even better! :) read more

I was so excited to eat here cause it's gluten free and my son has celiac disease. It was a great location and was so clean and comfortable. They had the bento box that you can build and pick what to put into it I really really liked how easy it was to figure out but they also were so friendly and helpful mostly the young lady working! I got the box with Tempeh veg and a great spruce sauce . My favorite was the beat salad so GOOD !!!!! The lentil cold side was also really good! My son got a side of chicken he liked it and it was a good price for the size Overall I really appreciate them opening a restaurant that's healthy and one that's totally GLUTEN FREE that's so hard to find :) Also we live in Everett so I brought my food home and the containers are SO sturdy and strong I really appreciate that!!!! read more

Wow, I haven't felt this healthy after eating out in a long time! Despite my preference toward heavy culinary expeditions and the late night snacks, I don't mind this healthy feeling, and it's actual rather refreshing. However, Bloom can always use some, well, tips on improving its food. First off, the bento box is actually pretty big and filling, which was a welcomed surprise. The pictures don't do it justice at all, as I initially thought this would be a measly meal. When I got to the proteins, I decided to splurge a bit and order the miso salmon for an extra $3. And unfortunately, it was a incredibly small piece of salmon that was over cooked and pretty dry. Quite a regretful decision of mine after eating it and definitely not worth the upcharge. The sides were actually really great! I'm not a fan of kale, but the dressing on it made the side salad actually pretty tasty and enjoyable. On top of that, they had pickled blueberries. Yea, blueberries. Say what?? And my goodness, the pickled blueberries were really good, and I could honestly order a jar of them. Qualm #2 though: I ordered a side of potatoes and they were not seasoned very well. On top of that, there were still long stalks of rosemary (I think?), or some sort of stalk that was inedible, and I spent more time picking them out of my mouth that actually enjoying the side. Which is a shame, because I love them potatoes. Overall, great concept and honestly a nice breath of fresh air and healthy eating in Seattle. Definitely catered toward the gym bro, vegan, or health nut, which I applaud. If I'm looking to go on a diet (which I honestly need) or just looking for a place for healthy dining, then I know where to go. But please improve on the protein selections, especially the fish! read more

I love Bloom! I enjoy getting to choose your own meal. You pick a hot, cold, base and protein side. There are lots of choices like broccoli, sweet potato, cabbage, eggplant, lentils, rice, salmon, chicken, turkey and tofu. Their menu is always changing, but they offer lots of fresh delicious sides that are seasons nicely. I always feel healthy after eating a meal here. I only wish they were open later for dinner too! read more

Great vegan options here! Love the marinated soy curls (teriyaki style I think) and grilled tofu with a curry sauce. Also got japanese sweet potatoes, bok choy, broccoli, indian dal (lentils), beet salad. Everything was really well made, and not overly oily or salted. Finally a place I can get lunch from and still meet my macros and nutrition targets! read more

First, the crispy chicken is dry and hard enough to Crack a tooth. This seems strange for a place that's only open for 4 hours a day. The turkey protein I added to my bento was also dry and obviously not fresh. To top of the food, half way through the bok choi, I find a worm in it. I was thoroughly grossed out. I asked for my money back and the person is to incompetent to do that. Now I have to contest the charge with the credit card company. Don't eat there, it's not worth the money or the headache or your health! read more

The coolest thing since a bag of chips. Healthy, gluten free, dairy free and red meat free menu. The coolest since I tend to avoid dairy, red meat and gluten. Menu is simple as they gave freshly prepared items. You can choose their land box, vegan box, bloom box, sea box or built your own. I built my own: Grilled chicken, curried cauliflower, bloom grain, Japanese sweet potatoes and apple salad! With peppers! Japanese sweet potatoes are amazing as well as the apple salad. Curried cauliflower too. Chicken was a little dry but good. It was a delicious box! They have so many options. If I still live closer ( used to live 2 blocks from here), this will definitely be my daily meal. read more

I got a plate with mixed grain, salad, chicken, broccoli, Japanese sweet potato, and chickpea salad in place of the pickles. I was just thinking a few days ago how I wish there were more healthy restaurants around here and then all of a sudden I walk by this place. It tastes very good and I'll definitely be back. Good alternative to a poke bowl. I would have taken a pic but I already ate most of it. Will try next time! read more

Stopped by Bloom a few mins before closing and opted for making my own box based on the ingredients that were available. I got the brown rice (was a little undercooked) wish I could try their dirty rice, followed by vegan curry meatballs (delicious), miso cauliflower (amazing), bloom potatoes, sour cherry beetroot and fresno pickles. Every item we had in our box was delicious (except for the undercooked brown rice). Wish I could try some meat dishes but my bad they ran out of it all. It is a tad bit on the expensive side $15 for a box and $18 for the seafood box. But this box is a perfect nutritional lunch box with good portions for one person. Service was great and I was out in about 7mins. Liked their food. To give them a try. read more

After reading all the positive reviews on Yelp, my hubs and I went to Bloom yesterday at around 12:30pm for some takeout but the place was closed. Lights were out. No sign on the door, nothing posted on their website or their Instagram. They're supposed to be open 11-3 on weekdays. Disappointed. read more

Delicious build your own bento box. From the pictures I thought the portions looked small, but actually the box is bigger than it looks and comes with a lot of food. On top of that there are lots of options & tasty seasonal variations. And this place is very dietary restriction friendly Each dish was very well seasoned and unique in its own way - the pickled blue berries and curried cauliflower were my favorites! Will definitely be back. read more

New and refreshing lunch place around the area . They have a fresh and healthy option for lunch! I tried their Land box which contains an option of grains/rice, chicken, and a bunch of different types of vegetables. I would have to say the protein is good but not as awesome as the veggies. Especially the potato salad that they made was bomb! The staff was super friendly and helpful. I would recommend taking the bento box to go. Their box is super sturdy to take home with you. read more

I'm usually not a veggie/vegan food person but this place changed my mind. The place has a lot of options and tasty looking options too that looked like it had so much flavor. I got brown rice, the chicken, red onions, kale, sweet potatoes, and Thai apple salad. My favorite was the sweet potatoes! The chicken was a bit on the dry side but it did have some flavor. Everything else was nice. read more

I. AM. OBSESSED. with this chic, new lunch concept serving up delicious bento boxes! They're located in SLU and have a ton of vegan and vegetarian options. I like that you can try a little bit of everything and the box is super filling and healthy! They're a takeout-only spot, which means that you just order at the counter. The employees are super sweet and took the time to explain different options and their recommendations. Everything I've tried has been SO. DARN. YUMMY. but personal favorites are Tare Tofu, Japanese Sweet Potatoes, Miso Curry Cauliflower, and the Turmeric Chocolate Chip Cookie. You seriously cannot go wrong though -- I'll be adding this to the lunch rotation for SURE! read more

I really love the idea of building your own bento box with delicious and healthy dishes. The dish variety is what really makes this a great option as you can customize how you would like your lunch. I got the Land Box which features "Shio Koji Chicken." I think next time I would opt for the "Miso Alaskan King Salmon" as I felt I'd like a more moisture to the protein. I think the best side was the "BLOOM potato salad" while the most unique was the "Roasted kohlrabi" which is described as having a "sweet but peppery" flavor. Overall I enjoyed that this bento was filling and a healthy option for lunch. Also their logo, a ginko leaf, is super cute and is featured on their to-go bags. read more

For a healthy nutritious meal in SLU, look no further than Bloom. I tried the Land Box which contains a sizeable portion of grilled chicken breast along with a variety of vegetables. The greens were a bit on the salty side. I left wishing for a little more. As with most places downtown, parking can be challenging. Packaging is very durable. read more

I'm pleasantly surprised by the food I got here! More food than I expected. After reading Yelp reviews and staring at the online menu for an hour, my perfect bowl consisted of bloom grains, pakora fritters, Japanese sweet potatoes, potato salad, charred corn slaw, and pickled blueberries. I also got the Szechuan taro chips! I loved the charred corn slaw so much and I'm sad it's a seasonal option. The sweet potatoes were also delicious. The only thing that disappointed me was the potato salad. I expected a more traditional taste and it was completely different and not in a good way. Will replace it for my next bowl! read more

4/5 This place knows how to make veggies super delicioso. I got the Sea box. The spotlight is not the protein, its their veggies. They either picked the freshest kale or just slightly cook them, cause the texture is a little big softer. If I read it right, they put the tare saucer in it. A little bit sweet, a little bit salt yet complements very well with kale. You still taste the freshness from the kale. But you don't get any of that bitterness from kale. I was kinda blown away. As for the bok choy, they roast them slightly, and dip it in some sort of coriander sauce with sesames. Man oh man. Again, its definitely a nice experience. The big letdown of the box is the salmon. Its a bit dry but miso sauce taste was spot on. One last thing, the box is $16. Do i think it is worth it with the portion? Maybe. I would very much hope they improve their protein. They are definitely a gem around the area. read more

What a hidden gem in Seattle! I got to find out about this place and try their bento via Yelp Elite event and it was delightful. There aren't any table seatings but benches inside and outside the restaurant where you can eat at. I loved the atmosphere and variety of choices for the sides & mains! The host was very friendly and explained how building bento boxes work and even let me sample the new seasonal pickles (blueberry pickles is a thing! And its absolutely delicious). I will definitely be coming back for more healthy delicious bentos. read more

Delicious and healthy lunch! It is on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. If you want to feel energized from a home-like meal without having to do any of the cooking or clean up yourself, this is a great option! Plus, they nailed all the little details like having a flat bottomed tray, including purple potatoes in the potato salad, and having the most delicious pickled veggies - I suggest trying the seasonal pickled blueberries with the turkey meatballs! read more

Ommmggggggg this place is decent for the price and serving sizes. HOWEVER, the falafel and literally all their sauces are SALTY AF! Like not even edible salty. Chill with the salt! Also, we were going to order delivery and they wanted to charge us $50 catering fee. No thank you. And all the sides were mixed up in the dishes that were ordered. We tried this place 3 times and each time something was wrong. We are done. read more

Wonderful concept. It's pricey, but for the area it's reasonable. I wish it was more centrally located, especially near my workplace. Otherwise I'd come here often. They had a generous Yelp event and was able to sample quite a few things. You can't go wrong with anything here, and the ingredients and dishes are truly healthy and delicious. The chocolate chip cookie is amazing! read more

Absolutely amazing. I noticed them building across the street, and got extremely excited that there was a new restaurant in the area. I went to their Instagram, and saw that they were a healthier option compared to what was already here, and was impressed by the photos and layout of their website/Instagram. Went to the pop-up they had the weekend before opening, and I was blown away! Every dish tasted so flavorful, and almost made me feel like this was too good to be what was opening the following weekend around the corner from my house. On opening day, I was nothing less than pleased when I noticed how accurate the meals looked to the photos online, and how what I tasted at the pop-up wasn't just for the event, but ACTUALLY what they served. Such a great atmosphere and friendly staff, the food is absolutely delicious, and feels as though I am getting an amazing five star experience for fast food price/convenience. 10/10 read more

This is such a cute place with satisfying and delicious food. I got a customized vegan box and every side was full of flavor. I especially loved the savory fried tofu and cauliflower.

The only downside is the lack of indoor seating. read more

I rarely leave reviews but Bloom deserves one. AMAZINGLY healthy and flavorful food. One of my favorite meals in seattle. I'm a huge foodie and not a fan of salad, but the veggies here are just so well done, without much oil while also not dry at all like you'd expect from these vegan-ish health food places. Generous portions and friendly servers. Highly recommend making your own box with - curried cauliflower - goji berry grilled chicken - veggie base (rotates but 2/2 have been phenomenal) They have some seasonal items, too, so be sure to ask! read more

Excited to be the first review for Bloom! This place is conveniently located, and offers pre-made boxes or build-your-own options that are absolutely delicious.

First time trying this new place that is dedicated to gluten free, dairy free, and vegan food (with some meat options--salmon, turkey meatballs, & chicken breast). My boyfriend and I are both allergic to gluten and dairy, so I am so stoked that we now have another option on lunch places to eat in Seattle! Definitely a place worth trying if you have a gluten/dairy allergy and/or are vegan. Loved all the options and can't wait to go back again. read more

I really like how Bloom offers plenty of unique and healthy food options to try. I built my own box and chose the Bloom grains as the base, the Miso Salmon as the protein, the Japanese sweet potato for the hot side, and the cauliflower salad and potato salad for the cold sides. My favorites were the Japanese sweet potatoes and the cauliflower salad. I wish the protein portion was a bit bigger but everything altogether was very filling. If I lived or worked close to here, this would definitely be a nice healthy go-to lunch spot! I love feeling satisfied and healthy after eating a meal. read more

The food is very good and interesting options. HOWEVER, they added new kiosk ordering instead of the usual employee serving you and this new pattern is absolutely terrible. A couple things in my order were incorrect and the time it took to get served tripled. I actually cannot fathom why they changed to this ordering style but it made the experience so much less enjoyable. read more
