In late August, I was in the Christie Pits area and was driving along Bloor Street West heading westbound. I saw Bloomer's off to my left. I am a fan of this vegan chain. My closest location is the one in Bayview Village Shopping Centre. I decided that after grabbing dinner, I'd walk over to this store before heading home. If you can find parking on Bloor, congrats! I didn't have that kind of luck. Instead, I parked at a Green P lot across from this cafe, on the northeast side of Ossington and Bloor. It's a cozy cafe. There were folks sitting down on a warm summery evening, chatting, eating, and drinking. I'm guessing that I got here just before 7 pm. As you'd expect, you wouldn't get the same variety at this hour than if you came first thing in the morning. However, it did have two donut flavours that I wanted. I was happy. I got the smallest donut haul that I have ever had at Bloomer's: - Biscoff crunch - Raspberry lime I like the strawberry lemonade at Bloomer's. I had a helpful man behind the counter help put my order together. He didn't have any lemonade left. However, he did have chai tea that he could make an iced version for me. Perfect! I paid with a credit card. I tapped and tipped. Paid. Done! I wished him a great evening. He reciprocated. I grabbed my tea and box of donuts, and walked over to my car. My chai tea was yummy. It didn't have any sweetener, which is how I like it. It was iced and was the perfect drink to enjoy as I drove home. I had the raspberry lime donut when I got home. I have had it before and it's perfect. Bloomer's does anything with raspberry well. It's the real deal. If you love raspberries, you want to come here. The lime provides that citrusy contrast that you need with raspberries. It is an awesome donut. I wish that it were offered year-round. Sadly, it's not. I really wanted the Biscoff crunch donut badly. I love Biscoff. It was divine. The Biscoff topping was indeed crunchy and so perfect on this donut. I loved it so much. It had Biscoff cookie butter. If you are a Biscoff fan, this donut is a must. Sadly, it was a limited flavour. I hope that it returns again. Looking at my photos for this review has made me realize that I'm due for a Bloomer's visit. When I am back in this neighbourhood, I'd definitely return for some more goodies. (400) read more

Sadly, I was not a fan of this place. I ordered the pistachio rose donut and blueberry muffin with a matcha latte. The donut was good, nothing amazing or memorable. The muffin was okay, i thought it was very dense and was hoping for a little more fluff or softness. It was gluten free so maybe that is why, but wouldn't come back. Overall, it didn't feel like a bakery and was expecting more freshness from everything ordered and it was the opposite but the matcha latte was good. read more

I'm a donut fiend and people can be sceptical when they eat vegan but these donuts were great! We got a candy apple filled, carrot cake filled, key lime pie filled, and pistachio rose. They were all delicious! Soft, fluffy, sweet, but not overly so. Really good! The only issue was trying to find a spot on the bench outside in their patio that didn't have bird poop and the raccoon that tried to climb up right next to us. That's not really the restaurants fault though and they did try shooing away the very ballsy critter. Carrot cake was my favourite and you'd never be able to tell that the cream cheese filling wasn't standard cream cheese. Pistachio rose was also lovely and a bit more unique. Key lime pie was also good. Candy apple was my least favourite, though still nice, just hard to eat. read more

I was walking along Bloor street and saw that I walked right past this store and so I went back to get some donuts. I honestly did not know they were vegan until I brought some home and looked online. I let my siblings try it and we all thought that the donuts were a bit too dry for our liking. Service was nice and the place did offer very interesting donut flavours though. read more

It took a global pandemic, but I finally got to try Bloomers through delivery. And while I was a bit annoyed I couldn't choose which 4 donuts to have in my box of 4 (other than saying whether it should be nut free or not), I was pleased to find out the donuts were good - a bit expensive but worth it because of the quality, and super filling as they were on the denser side. From what I can tell, my 4 donuts were: - Rose Pistachio: The star of the bunch. The rose and pistachio glaze combination was rich without being overwhelming, and had this almost refined and uppity taste to it (in a good way). - Birthday Cake and Cookies&Cream: Both were typical standard good glazes. - Lemon Poppyseed: A bit too sour for me, and hardly tasted the poppyseed. Overall pretty good. I may not go back, but can easily see why vegans and non-vegans alike love this place. read more

Bloomer's was at the summer Farmers market in front of RBC, and we bought a bunch of doughnuts for the whole team. We got the rose pistachio, birthday cake, raspberry jelly filled, cinnamon sugar, and pina colada, among some other flavours. These doughnuts are MASSIVE! Half of one is equivalent to your normal doughnut. The main appeal of these doughnuts, I believe, are that they can be gluten and dairy free (vegan). However, I wasn't that big a fan. I found them overly greasy and not that quite pillowy or yummy. A heavy afternoon treat, but a happy one nonetheless! read more

I came to pickup a cake last minute for a friend. (he is vegan so it was important to get this cake) I didn't realize this location closed at 7:00PM. I arrived 15 minutes after close. I saw someone inside cleaning and tapped on the door. Lancy came over with a huge smile and opened the door slightly while I explained. She didn't even hesitate and let me come inside to quickly grab a cake. She did not give off any vibes that she was annoyed. She smiled throughout our interaction. She even grabbed me the best looking cake. Lancy is definitely a huge asset to your establishment. I'm sure you already know that. I just wanted to reach out and praise her excellent customer service. read more

I only had a chance to stop in here briefly during a short trip to Toronto, but I got their Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffin, and WOW, it was one of the best muffins I've EVER had. Bonus was the fact that it was vegan AND gluten-free. It looks like there were a couple other things I could have also tried that were vegan and gluten-free, so maybe I will have to come back next time I'm in town to try them. read more

Bloomers is a quaint little cafe at Bloor & Ossington. I've been there several times. The donuts seem to be very popular but I decided to try some of the food. As a non vegan I try not to compare vegan foods to meat based foods. I decided to go for the pulled pork (jackfruit) sandwich. My sandwich came out in a matter of minutes. There's no way you can compare it to a real pulled pork sandwich. It was pretty good but the BBQ sauce had a very strange aftertaste, it was a bit too tangy. The onion ring was the best part of the sandwich. I would like to try their breakfast menus or even the pastries. The service was pretty average. Also there's free wifi.

This cake was actually surprisingly really good. The consistency was perfect. And for a vegan cake, damm good job. It was very tasty, timing was perfect. I mean I was slightly worried the icing would be off due to delivery issues as per below comments but it was perfect . The work place actually showed me the cake also before leaving to confirm all is good . I highly recommend it read more

Dear Bloomer's, where have you been all my life? Well, apparently, right down the street. I have lived mere blocks away from Bloomer's for over 4 years but, in an effort to be more *~*vegan*~* have only just recently added it to my regular neighborhood rotation. The coffee is delicious, the donuts are to die for, and the lunch menu is nothing short of expansive. Yesterday, I ordered the BBQ jackfruit sandwich (my new fav food trend) to go and was *shook* to discover how huge it was when I got it home. It was one of those perfect sloppy sandwiches that leaves enough behind on the plate that you have to eat it with a fork. Free second sandwich, right? The jackfruit was divine, though it was a bit heavy on the mayo (but at least it was vegan mayo). There has been quite a bit of a wait every time I come here, but the staff are friendly and the wait is always worth it. Definitely one of the better vegan pastry shops I've tried in the city and the wide-ranging lunch menu makes it even better. Also looks like a great spot to hole up with a laptop on weekdays! read more

Strictly reviewing their brownies, which are super decadent and to die for! You wouldn't even know they're made of zucchini because of how fudgy they are! Wow.. Speaking as a non-vegan! While I've not been to the cafe itself, have had their treats through another establishment that wholesales through them. It's a spot I'd check out when in the area. Their desserts look yummy. read more

Make sure you check your cake at the location before you bring it home. Our cake was clearly iced while still warm or left long enough for the icing to slide off. Tasted good, but disappointing that the icing had slid off. The other cake we purchased was fine. read more

Note: this review is purely based on their doughnuts...or donuts. However you spell them, they're awesome either way. These donuts aren't your typical baked from frozen donuts at Tim Hortons - these are the real deal. As a consumer of conventional baked goods, my taste buds definitely can't differentiate between a vegan donut and a conventional donut. Today I picked up the birthday cake and the black forest. They were both delectable and while I could've plowed through both, a split of 1/2 each hit the spot. These donuts are almost the size of a CD in circumference and are airy - it's hard not to eat more than 2 in one sitting. Bloomer's is accepting card only during the COVID era. Hoping I'll be able to return early in the AM and try more of their flavours/other baked goods. Total cost: 8.50 for 2 donuts read more

Everything was tasty. Unfortunately, the day I went in they were all out of the wings which I was really excited to try, as well as the burger, and all of their fresh pressed juices. It's a shame that they were out of so many things. The service was fine but nothing extraordinary. The waitress provided good recommendations for the baked goods. read more

Hands down the best vegan bakery in Toronto! Their donuts are perfect. Fluffy freshness all around. My favorite flavors are, Boston cream, cookies and cream, pumpkin, apple cider, chocolate raspberry truffle, and the berry. Ok, pretty much all the donuts I've tried are my favorites. I recently ordered a pecan pie from them and it was the best pie (vegan and non-vegan) I've had. Just the right amount of filling and the crust was "buttery" Crisp. Even the non-vegans were impressed. Which is annoying, as if they never had bad tasting non-vegan food. PUHLEASE! Mind you, I ordered the pie with gluten. Just because I'm vegan doesn't mean I'm gluten free, but they did have gluten free pies available for you celiac intolerants. Someday I will eventually try their meals, but with all those donuts, I tend to make them my meal replacement. :X read more

I love finding new cafe places, so this one is definitely one I'd come back to...on a weekday. I'm not a huge fan of extremely busy coffee shops where it's difficult to even hear the other person you're with sometimes. Plus we had to move some seats to help a bigger group find seating. But with that being said. The service was very good and quick. Plus, we had a Canadian Maple Cream donut to share....which was definitely the best tasting donut I have had in a very long time. I would definitely check this place out when it's not super busy. read more

Sadly a disappointing experience which did not match my high expectations. I got the ferrero rocher doughnut and it tasted quite artificial. They were generous with the filling, but I expected a higher quality doughnut. read more

Definitely some of my favourite doughnuts I have had in general. I have been here a couple times before, and each time my roommate and I try a new flavour, they are all good in their own way(I prefer the ones without filling but they are still good), even a basic one with sprinkles. The texture of the doughnut is very nice and light , so if that is your preferred texture over the dense ones, you will really like it. This will always be one of my to go doughnut spots. read more

All i've experienced here is the donuts and i have to say Bloomers hands down makes the best vegan donuts in Toronto, light fluffy and almost impossible to differentiate between the non and vegan varieties, they are that good. Now to be fair my only other experience i've had with vegan donuts is with another Toronto vegan food shop called "through being cool" (i know terrible hipster name, but that's what hipsters do lol) , the difference between the 2 shops donuts is vast, as TBC's donuts are so incredibly dense that they verge on being undercooked. they are heavy and drop like a rock into your stomach. They are nothing like the perfect donuts that Bloomer's produces. So if you are looking for amazing vegan donuts, this is the place. Update: I finally popped in here and it was an interesting experience, I had the pulled jackfruit bbq sandwich and it was really delicious! The bun was fresh and it was topped with some tasty slaw and a fresh made onion ring, very messy, very good, I'd definitely get it again. Being a bit of a coffee snob, I found their drip basket coffee really good, whatever beans they use, they are very fresh. My only complaint is that the service was kinda strange, the servers were nice, but it seemed like half help yourself, half table service, they served me coffee at the table but I had to take my mug over to the counter to use the sugar and cream substitute. They also took quite long to serve us after we ordered, but at least the food was hot. Over a Link would return, but temper your expectations as far as table service goes. read more

My cousin stopped by this afternoon and brought 2 donuts for me to try. She mentioned last week when I had dinner in the area how these were her favourite donuts. She doesn't have much in terms of options since she's a vegan. The flavours she brought by today was a pistachio rose water and I think was a berry flavour. Surprisingly I LOVED the pistachio rose water one (I usually hate those flavours). Donut itself was light and fluffy. They were yeast based donuts, my favourite! I kind of wished they made them smaller since when you start with these, you just can't stop! read more

I picked up 3 donuts from here for my daughter and her friends. The green matcha tea, pink sprinkled and sugar classic. I said to myself: I will take a small piece of each to try them, then pass them on to the girls... -- Sadly, The girls got not donuts because once I started eating one, I had to finish it and then just HAD to eat the rest! All in all excellent donuts read more

I had the chocolate chip cookie here. It did not meet my expectations but it did have chocolate chips which helped the flavour. I could not really taste the cookie part except for the cookie consistency which was a bit moist and chewy. I have had their cookie and brownie at the vegan fest last year and it was much better. read more

In the department of Reasons Why I Love Bloorcourt, Bloomer's Bakery opened their doors in late July and have been open every day since except the holiday Monday. Naturally, I have been gorging myself on Boston cream donuts, dream cookies (empire cookies), blueberry muffins, cupcakes, butter tarts, fresh made bagels with cream cheese, and carrot cake. Did I mention everything is vegan and some things are gluten-free? It's a soft opening, because they are just sticking to baked goods and drinks at the moment, but they plan to roll out a sandwich menu come fall and offer soup and other nice, simple items like cake by the slice that for some reason aren't common at the other vegan spots around here. The space used to be an Ethiopian restaurant whose sign advertised "Organic vegetarian sandwiches" but they always seemed to be out of these and the only time I tried the Ethiopian food, the veggies were under cooked. The space has been painted blue, booths added and a bar across the window. I love their large wheat stalk logo. The place is adorable and right now with the nice summer weather, sitting at the window bar with garage door open is the perfect place to people watch on this colourful stretch of Bloor while enjoying an iced Americano and a donut. I'm so glad that the owners, a friendly couple from Winnipeg, chose this neighbourhood for their business and not, say, The Beaches or Leslieville. My dream is to see them become a Sweetpea's (Portland's greatest vegan bakery) of the east offering a new soup daily, satisfying sandwiches, a variety of dairy-free schmears with their bagels along side some of the best vegan baked goods around! TLDR: Get a Boston cream or dream cookies and iced Americano and park yourself at the window bar on the nice day. read more

The best food items are the sandwiches and burgers. The salads are mostly just the mixed greens and the dressing selections don't really fit well with the cranberry and sweet potato salad toppings. The tempeh rebeun, and pulled jack fruit are the best items. Seitan veggie burger is decent. Service is really slow and the restaurant is cold during cooler weather because the main door opens directly to the street without a buffer. Not many seats and people hang out on laptops. I will come back to eat the food but I wish the service was speedier. The restaurant is seat yourself and it took about 15 minutes for server to come to our table with menus, then another 15 minutes for then to come back with water and take our orders. read more

Bloomers is a good mix of things. It's a cafe and a restaurant, open later than most indie coffee places. They strike a good balance between healthier veggie bowls and the greasy vegan fried food that this city seems obsessed with right now. Overall, the food is very flavourful, not expensive and there are a variety for options (even for drinks: booze, coffee, juices and even kombucha). Tempeh Reuben: this sandwich is a punch in the face of flavour. The tempeh is awesomely thick-cut. Comes with mustard and pickles. Only downside is that it's a little greasy. Caesar salad: strange and salty. The romaine was nice and the vinaigrette was light and garlicy but not the expected creamy dressing. The toppings were strange and were what made it so salty. Just lettuce and the vegan caesar dressing from Through Being Cool would have been miles better. Pulled Jack: messy and delicious. The BBQ sauce is sweet and not too smokey. The jackfruit is actually pulled and was tender, like actual pulled pork. Definitely a do-again. (Would so be so good in a whole wheat wrap, like burrito-style.) Open salad: the tomatoes tasted like they were from a real garden. Sweet potato is a novel addition but was undercooked. The sesame dressing may not have been the right choice for this salad in general. read more

I love to support businesses with heart. When you get to eat a delicious cupcake AND contribute to someone's labour of love all in one swift motion? I mean, come on. Owners Kelly and Alex are pretty sweet, and it's so clear that Bloomer's is their baby. It's a cozy lounge spot with booths and mismatched 2-seaters. Every day seems to have something new in the baked goods department- caramel glazed donut pudding, coconut donut holes, fresh bread, bagels, muffin and cupcake galore... the opportunities are vast. Staples are the un-butter tart and boston creme donut. Damn. GREAT tea selection served in the CUTEST assortment of antique dishes. Chill vibes to work away on my laptop or just zone out + watch the stragglers from Monica's Bar (down the street) stumble by through the space's big garage-door window. Stoked for Bloomers to extend their hours- they'll be serving drinks and a full dinner menu soon. Sidenote: excellent music tastes for your optimum atmospheric experience. read more

I love Bloomer's donuts but I recently ordered a cake for my partners birthday and it was not good. The 6" cake as around $45-$50 CAD (I went with carrot) and on top of this they added a $20.00 delivery fee. When we cut the cake for the birthday, the ratio of cake to icing was 1:3 there was barely any cake. Upon tasting the icing was extremely sugary to the point where all 8 people could not eat it. The cake itself was dry and the edges were extremely hard and tasted burnt. I was extremely disappointed because their smaller baked goods are soooo delicious that was I expecting the same quality with their cakes, but I was sadly disappointed. I hope the Bloomers bakery team can really work towards cake development to improve the taste and quality, especially for the price. Will never order a cake from here again unfortunately :( read more

If you like your donuts big, a little bread-y, with a kiss of grease then you need to try the ones from here. I got the Boston cream donut, which had a sweet but light filling, not quite custardy but more like a buttercream. I only wish my donut had more of it. If you're taking your donut to go, expect any frosting on top to smear onto the paper bag. No fear, you can always dip your donut back into it. I didn't have the chance to try anything else from here, but the donut was pretty solid and I'd come back to try other donuts or food (but donuts first). read more

Its been over a week since I finally tried the donuts at Bloomer's and I am still dreaming about them. So sweet, so perfectly chewy and soft, so satisfying. You would never know they were vegan and isn't that just the sweetest thing of all? All the indulgence without any of the guilt over what it took to get in your belly. My only regret is writing this review because now I'm thinking about them again and its after 9 PM on a Tuesday and Bloomer's isn't open. read more

I've made an order for Birthday Cake on Sunday, online, via their website. Followed up by phone on Monday, made sure the order was properly made, and the store recivied it. Called on Tuesday to see when I can pick it up. The staff had no clue about the order. They promised someone from main bakery would call me and tell what I can do now that I Don't Have The Birthday Cake. No one called. These pepole are not responcible. Not professionals. Not efficient. Not reliable. I would not recomned them at all unless for walking into the store to grab a couple of donuts. read more

$15 Cobb salad with half rotting greens each time I've ever had it.... I really like the place but as someone who cooks for a living, it's truly lazy to not pick through your greens before serving them.. you wouldn't eat rotting spinach at home so why am I paying for it? Also the consistency is always off... one dish will not be the same the next time you get it. The cookies are awesome, as are the cupcakes but the bagels are prrrreeeetty awful.

BEST DONUTS IN TORONTO!!! If you're going to get anything here, you have to try one of their donuts. As someone who was born deathly allergic to milk, I've never been able to have "real" donuts so it is so exciting to have a spot with amazing donuts that me and all my non-allergic friends love. My friends even swear that Bloomer's donuts are better than "real" ones! They are fluffy, moist, not overly sweet, and perfectly sized. My all-time favorite flavors include birthday cake, apple pie (a fall special), cookies & cream (a spring special), and chocolate peanut butter! read more

Ordered 6 assorted donuts from here via door dash. At first I was skeptical due to the high price but upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised. The donuts were really big in size, super flavourful and aesthetically pleasing. The variety of flavours was also very nice and the texture of the donuts was thick and cakey yet airy like a donut should be. Since being vegan, I haven't enjoyed a donut in quite some time but I was super impressed with these, specifically the london fog donut! The staff was really nice and quick to reply through instagram Dms in regards to a technical issue on the app which is greatly appreciated. Super nice and friendly business, i'm excited to order from here again. Also my order arrived super quick and they wrote the name on the box (small detail but cute). read more

Had seen their Instagram post about brunch and took my egg allergic 14 month old son and partner to the Bloor location for brunch this morning and we were sadly disappointed. We absolutely love their donuts, but found the pancakes inedible. They were burnt and bitter, so in the end my son was only willing to eat a donut. I really hope this was a one-off as we had hoped to try the rest of theur menu because of my son's allergy - but after spending $12+ for pancakes we couldn't eat - I doubt we'll get anything but donuts. read more

This is a hard review bc I really want to like this place and see vegan spots fly. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed by the food menu and food quality. I was recommended the caesar salad which was like a lot of weird carbs and crunchy things with powdery (presumably homemade cashew) vegan parm on some lettuce. The black bean and mushroom seitan burger looked good but was gummy and snapped back when you pulled on it. Not great. The donut was AMAZING. They are worth the hype. Great flavour and texture. A bit greasy for my preference but, like, it's a donut. Bagel was fine. Cookie was gross. Really great americano. So worth popping in for a treat and coffee, but don't think I'd go back for food. read more
