If you're looking for a cute dessert spot, Bloom Cafe is such a lovely find Their cakes are not only beautifully designed but also perfectly balanced in flavor. I highly recommend the peach and earl grey cake and the grape oolong cake. Both are light, fragrant and not overly sweet. Pricing also feels very reasonable for the quality and experience!
Nice Japanese pastry, tea, and coffee place in downtown Toronto. You can find nice cakes and lattes here. It's not a very big place, but it certainly gives you a good time while enjoying your treats. Good decor with a comfy vibe. Recommended.
Bloom is a lovely cafe with friendly service and a warm, comforting vibe. Whenever I go in, I see a lot of people working on their laptops or meeting with their friends for a drink and a sweet treat :) They serve a variety of food items here, such as cakes, cream puffs, ice cream, and even onigiri! Some of my favourites are the peach earl grey cake and the kinako matcha latte. All of the drinks I've tried have been flavourful and have the perfect amount of sweetness. While I do enjoy studying here, one thing to note is that they don't have outlets available!
Came to this cafe for the first time and tried the matcha latte. It was good. Would love to come back to try their desserts and ice cream. They also have a few seats inside.
***updated! original review is below!*** ***updated feb 2026*** been here a few times before. friendly staff, amazing selection of desserts and handcrafted specialty teas & lattes. really bright space, more sesting tables towards the back - but the restrooms can use a bleach down (very bad odors). we got their seasonal sundae - jasmine pistachio & a genmai latte! everything was delicious and we look forward to coming back and trying the rest of their menu! ***original review*** oh my lordy!? heaven in your mouth!! their profiterols (cream filled puff pastries) are so addictive!! an oozle of decadant cream fillings in each one! we got early gray, mocha, jasmine, vanilla, strawberry and another specialty black tea one! absolutely deeeelicious!!
Really enjoy this place! It's open late and has hojicha latte. One of my favourite obsessions of late. It's always busy! So far, everything I have tried I've really enjoyed whether sweet or savoury. The crunchy eclair was light and airy with the perfect crunch for contrast. The hojicha you can customize for sweetness. Always been solid. I had the salmon sandwich which I inhaled so from what I can remember that was delicious. In addition, consistent from the first time coming in - customer service. Very friendly whether late at night or early in the day.
Never lets me down. Here's their strawberry pistachio cake slice. Moist, fresh, with a bit of cereal at the bottom.
I've been coming here for years. It's my go to cafe for pastry, it's good for catching up with friends or study session. I've tried working from this cafe twice. There's very limited outlets (I think two) so you should come early if you want to secure a spot. There's plenty of seats otherwise. Note: if you are in vpn and use the wifi, it'll keep disconnecting. The ambiance is good, it's so aesthetic there's also cute instrumentals in the background. I had a meeting and it was a little loud. My voice was echoing but still understandable. The pastries are also delicious! I also recommend their hinako matcha latte. It's very good and you can tell the matcha is very good quality based on the color. Their soft serve sundaes are also good. Highly recommend this cafe! Just come early if you want pastries
Was craving a matcha dessert after dinner, I got the matcha and kinako sundae! It was super yum! the matcha flavour was strong, the kinako flavour was a light flavour. The toppings made it better tbh, if it was just the soft serve itself, it wouldn't have been as good. It came with mochi pieces, crunchy topping, tea jelly, rice crispes pieces. The store is pretty packed at 8PM most seats were filled and most pastries were sold out so come earlier if you want them. They seem popular as I saw a huge line at around 6:30pm too. The ambiance is a cool tone cafe with spacious seating in the back, and seats at the front of the store they had a lot seats but it was all filled up. Service was fast, but nothing special.
Excellent food and drinks! I keep coming back to Bloom when I want high quality ceremonial grade matcha. You can tell by the photos that the colour of the matcha is fantastic and they really value quality of their products. They also have fantastic pastries and I regularly order the cream puffs and other snacks. Today we ordered the onigiri deal: $8.99 for 1 drink and one Onigiri snack They have many options for onigiri such as spicy salmon, spicy beef, imitation crab, etc. I would highly suggest this combo with a drink! Their drinks by themselves normally cost between $5-$7 which is a similar range to most cafes in the area. The seating and cafe is attractive and feels very welcoming. They have some outlets and a pretty spacious store for downtown Toronto. The service is always very friendly and helpful. Overall, a great experience!
Bigger inside than it looks. I like the decor- it's bright and clean. Service was quick. Came in on a Saturday at around 4pm and it was quite busy. I ordered the hojicha latte. Overall, I found it okay. It's a bit more bitter than I'd like, but still good. My boyfriend got a matcha latte and I thought it was okay as well. For two drinks, it came out to a little over $15.
Came back to try their genmai sundae and it came with black sesame pudding, 2 small mochi balls, and a lot of sesame to garnish. There was a layer of rice krispies at the bottom as well to add an extra crunch and it was really tasty. One thing that I did not like were some of the crunchy bits were quite hard and caught me off guard but I guess it added more texture. Service was great and the store itself was really cute!
Delicious japanese dessert spot - not too sweet and with many unique flavors!! The matcha ice cream had an intense matcha flavor which I love but tasted more sorbet than creamy ice cream The jasmine darjeeling was hands down amazing - probably taste even better if I ate it right away when it was fresh but I had it a day later and it was still very good! The tea flavor was strong and not too sweet, sponge part was also bouncy

Have been excited to try this dessert place for a while , yet the higher the expectation the more brutal when reality hits. The iced peach matcha is almost tasteless cold water with negligible peach syrup that costed me $6. Honestly quite frustrating, even worse, theres no peach meat in the drink but 3-4 fragments of peach skin floating around this scented cold water. Desserts should be fine since the cream puffs are okay, just dont order drinks read more

When I walked in the cafe was full. There were a lot of people chilling, chatting and working. The space is fairly big and spacious. The staff were knowledgeable when asked about products and provided recommendations. Their recommendation for the jasmine cream puff was actually the best one out of them all! The flavours of the puffs were all very distinctive and flavourful. Each of the puffs were fully filled with their creams but a little runny, the cream could be a little thicker so it doesn't run so much. read more

Bloom Cafe is my all time favourite cafe. Their Japanese desserts and pastries are delightful. The staff is welcoming, and the atmosphere is relaxing. They offer a variety of treats, including cream puffs, cakes, and soft serve! On my first ever visit, it was not busy and so peaceful. Nothing I have tried here has disappointed me. This cafe is perfect for a summer treat. Tip: Arrive early, as they sell out quickly! read more
This café looks so nice, I love the simple designs and how it flourishes with warm colours once you enter the shop. If I could stay inside and eat my pastries, I would, and I'm sure my pictures would turn out way better. They are known for several things: eclair, cream puffs, and daifuku. What is daifuku? It's basically mochi (or rice cake) that is stuffed with fillings. For $5, I passed on this small treat because I don't believe any daifuku would be worth that price point (lols). The girl also pointed to eclairs and cream puffs first, so I trust her =p Let's start with the positives. In Japan, presentation is everything and I believe Bloom achieves a 5/5 in this category. The takeout box is super pretty, I felt like I was ordering from some super high-end café. Now, let's move on to the taste. The cream puffs were disappointing, not because they were bad, but they offered nothing special. They jammed the cream puff with tons of matcha filling which is great, but the shell (or bun) itself is soft and resembles the ones you could buy from Costco. I just didn't find it special, but I will offer some advice: buy the matcha one and do a HARD pass on the strawberry flavour. Moving onto the eclairs, I think they were well done. Love the crunchiness, and it just tasted great. It's not the best eclair in Toronto, but I wouldn't mind coming back for this menu item. read more
Great Cafe and opens till around 10 pm . Matcha is authentic and they sell semi/ceremonial matcha powder at an affordable price. There is always a huge difference between poor quality matcha versus quality grade matcha. Would recommend anyone in the area to come try their desserts, my favorite is the soft-serve, they change their flavors each season read more

Stumbled across the cafe after eating lunch in the area. I walked in, and my attention was immediately caught by the cute desserts on display. Earl Gray Eclair: 4.5/5 The crispy, sweet exterior balanced the slightly bitter, creamy filling. The earl gray taste was strong, and was not masked by the exterior. The filling was a tad sweet for my liking, but was still really good. It reminded me of the eclair that you get from Zaku Zaku in Japan's Harajuku! Matcha Latte: 5/5 They had two versions of the matcha latte, where one had kinako (roasted soybean flour). I opted for the regular matcha latte at 50% sweetness, and it was clear that they used high quality powder to make their drinks. It was the perfect drink to help warm up during a cold day. Ambience: 4/5 Decor was clean and nice, with most furnishings having a wood finish. The display case looked appetizing, with the desserts filled to the brim. It was clear that most desserts came in the 3 main flavors of matcha, strawberry, and earl gray. I came during a weekend afternoon, so it was a bit loud for my liking. read more
Omg this place is sooooo good. Usually I see places with matcha soft serve, but this is the first time I see jasmine soft serve. It's not as rich as matcha, but it is just as good. It is a lighter version which is nice if you don't want something too heavy. There is a subtle muskat taste which really compliments the jasmine flavor. Not sure what the little flower buds were, but they were pretty good too. Highly recommend this place! read more
This is the perfect cafe to get some work done or meet a friend for dessert! I loved the vibes and spacious seating. I got their jasmine cream puff, chestnut cake and iced hojicha latte. Both the pastries were very tasty but the hojicha latte was just alright. I would come back but the items offered on their menu are definitely more expensive compared to other cafes so just keep that in mind! read more
I came here during the time when they were still Tsujiri but was then rebranded as Bloom. I was craving something sweet after work and so I decided to walk here and it was well worth it. The matcha/vanilla twist was really good, great mix of flavors. I went again to get just the matcha soft serve and it was equally as yummy. Service here is very good, they were patient and respectful. read more

Pricey, but good pastries that suit the asian flavour profiles (not overly sweet too). We tried the Earl Grey Eclair and Matcha Cream Puff which both had strong tea flavours and generous fillings! The Peach Roll cake was way to expensive for the small portion that it came as, but the small peach pieces were juicy and the cake felt like it was soaked in a peachy light syrup almost. read more

This cafe is really cute and a great place to chat with your friends. It gets quite busy on the weekends but they have a lot of seating, there's another section in the back. Their kinako matcha latte was pretty good, it tasted like your general matcha latte but with a roast aftertaste. I ordered it at 50% sugar and it was quite sweet still. They have a lot of desserts on display and parfait, I would come back to try their desserts. In general, their drinks and desserts are around $5-15 dollars which does get quite pricey read more
Bloom is a nice dessert cafe and spot for everyone to relax, study, mingle - you name it. I love their decor and setting, similar to their Tsujiri predecessor (dont think they changed too much). It has one long counter full of desserts displayed to pick from and another room at the back. Staff were friendly and overall service was pleasant. I did find their speed slightly slower when it comes to making the drinks. Nevertheless they compensate by handing you your order if you are already seated. I ordered two cream puffs (earl grey and mocha), eclair (matcha), croissant (earl grey), and a Yuzu float to try. I was very surprised that their earl grey flavour is much lighter than other places I've been, not too sweet and flavour itself is not the usual earl grey. I prefer a stronger flavour personally. On the other hand, their mocha flavour was one I liked and its strong enough yet to just be subtle too. From their pastry texture, that's also a reason I gave 3 stars. It's not the best and most fluffy, and found the eclair good but too crunchy with less proportion on filling. Overall, their dessert flavour isn't too unique but Bloom is still a place I would come by here and there - it's a cozy place! read more

A small dessert place perfect for japanese dessert lovers like myself:) I really love the concept of the place - they specialize on Japanese tea-based pastry. They have a good variety of desserts like choux, eclairs, spongecakes, tiramisu and cakes. Their menu changes depending on the season so be sure to check their Instagram page before going there. I had their matcha choux and earl grey eclair with matcha latte. Everything was delicious and not overly sweet. They kindly added extra matcha on request which was really nice:) I would probably come back here for takeout but not for dine-in as the place is really small and the chairs are not comfortable. read more
The matcha soft serve wasn't very good in my opinion - it was too milky for my taste. I would have preferred a stronger matcha flavour (even slightly bitter) but I guess if you don't like the bitter taste of matcha you would like this. Maybe i'll come back to try their cream puffs. read more

The store offers a variety fillings of puff! The size is perfect! Matcha puff is always my favourite, however here it is too sweet to me (I like the bitterness of matcha). I also picked a peach roll cake, the texture of chiffon is great! However, again, the cream is too sweet for me. read more

Met up with friends at this cute cafe in the afternoon and we tried their float, lattes & cream puffs! Really enjoyed the float as the matcha slush at the bottom balanced with the sweet soft serve on top. Their cream puffs were 6 for $18 which isn't bad for splitting & they had options like matcha, early grey and strawberry. I tried the earl grey but it was a bit too bitter for my liking, could've been sweeter. Overall, definitely a nice hang out spot and cute cafe to study in as it was spacious in the back area read more

Too small quantity... We went there and paid 12$ for a parfait and it ended up being a really slim cup. The store was transformed from an ujisan matcha. read more

Got gifts from someone who is crazy about sweets the other day and they were from Bloom Cafe!! They were no puffs inside these boxes but still they were all great I don't really like Asian roll cake much but this chestnut roll cake was different. Thier daifuku(filled mochi) were very similar to the ones I had at Tsujuri. They were excellent!! read more

My first time here. My friend wanted us to check it out. I thought it would be like Hattendo but it wasn't. It's more like puff pastries like a profiteroles. Different flavoured creams inside. And other dessert like items. No chocolate anything though. So I got a vanilla one. It was nice. $3.25 nice, not really. No chocolate on the menu = no Stephanie returning. If you're a non-chocolate person, you'll enjoy it. read more

The cake was light and delicious with very rich cream on it, just wish there was more strawberry in the middle layer. We also got the regular sweet iced matcha lattes, they were definitely not too sweet, light and not too strong if that's your style. The interior was beautiful and clean. Would recommend for a quick sweet bite. read more

If you're a matcha fan, this place is a must! This cute Japanese cafe has a lot of matcha (and other flavour) pastries and soft serve. They have plenty of seating, so it's a great place to hang out with friends or spend a quiet afternoon. On my visit, I tried their Matcha Eclair and Matcha and Strawberry Soft Serve with Kinako in a Puff. Matcha Eclair: I usually don't like eclairs but this matcha eclair is DIFFERENT; it has a crunchy and crumbly outer shell with a matcha custardy-cream like center. I love that the outer shell is almost cookie-like and the matcha flavour in the custard is very prominent. Highly recommend you pick up one (or more! They also have other flavours like earl grey too!) next time you are in the area. Matcha and Strawberry Soft Serve with Kinako in a Puff: The matcha soft serve itself tastes similar Tsujiri's (one of my favourites) but since I got the mix, I found the strawberry was a bit too overpowering for the delicate matcha flavour (if you're a strawberry pocky fan, you'll love the strawberry soft serve), but was still good. I recommend getting the soft serve by itself because choux (puff) in general doesn't have much flavour and is pretty bit dry so it needs that decadent custard cream filling to add flavour and moisture. read more

Japanese-fusiony cafe spot on Yonge with some interesting pastry options - eclairs and pastries filled with early grey, matcha, red bean plus daifuku, roll cakes, etc. I like the crispiness of the earl grey eclair and the hojicha latte was tasty and a nice treat of a hot drink on a cold day. It feels a bit pricey to come often, but it's not a bad spot to stop by occasionally. read more

Unbelievable Japanese dessert cafe with incredible daifuku and matcha drinks. I'm not usually a huge huge fan of mochi, but this place might have changed my mind - the mochi is actually soft and stretchy and the fillings were sweet and flavorful. Minimalist design on the inside and ample seating. read more

I got a chance to go here before COVID, and my experience was great! The staff were helpful in explaining/recommending menu items, and I was super happy with the cream pastries and lattes we ended up getting. The atmosphere of the cafe was also very aesthetically pleasing! for reference, I got a matcha and oreo cream pastry. as for the latte, I got a seasonal drink (I think it was a matcha latte with strawberry foam). The latte was better than expected, it was my first time trying a foam drink and I expected the flavours to clash but they surprisingly went together super well! read more

Blocked my google review, and I talked with the owner, she admit there was missing part of the cake, is there mistake, and will give me a sundae next time, and I need to notice the owner before I come... I ordered a six-inch peach earl grey cake from the website, and pick up my order at Wellesley, DT, 4-5 PM. The store is clean and the environment was good. We pick up the cake around 4:50PM. There was no plastic knife or fork for the cake, if your order cake from here, prepared your own knife and fork. People who work here didn't mentioned the knife and fork at all! But the owner saids they actually provide that. I ordered this cake because I was attracted be there instagram pictures, and what they post the Peach Earl Grey filling in instagram and other social media. But after we got home, we found there's only Earl grey filling, no peach, and was completely different from the instagram picture... If it's a birthday party, you'll be disappointed... Even if it's not my birthday, I feel really upset. Here are cake that I received, and some images posted on Instagram and other social media. Really disappointed, and will never buy cakes from here again! read more

Saw Bloom open up and the interior was cute and their matcha ice cream desserts looked so appealing, but I gotta say I was slightly disappointed. It could've been what I ordered, but for sure next time if I come back I'll try the cream puff ... which is also slightly expensive. read more
