Great portions and food! I got an "other salad" with tofu and it was amazing. The server also made me a great oat milk chai latte. Definitely coming back to try their muffins and donuts. read more

I came in without realising I was in a vegan establishment, sat down and was shocked at the pretentiousness and smug people surrounding me. I'll be honest, all I wanted was a cheeseburger because hell, we only live once and if I wanted to eat bird food I'd just self identify as a budgie and do that. I had the grilled cheese which was unidentifiable and tasted like the multivitamins I eat. I kept running out of water to help swallow the food and I made sure not to flush the toilet after I threw up in it incase one of these self entitled people surrounding me wanted to collect it and feed their starving and tormented pet "leftovers". I went up the street to McDonald's and got my cheeseburger but who am I kidding, that had just as much actual meat or dairy product in it as the food at the restaurant that I had just left. I decided to bring a few bags of McDonald's back down and all of the smug, "complex" individuals inside quickly devoured their latest vegan meal. read more

Solid meal here with my veg sister! We shared the wakame bowl and the the jackfruit sandwich. The sandwich really did have a familar zest to it, like it was a pulled pork sammy. Enjoyable! The wakame bowl was super fresh as well, and I liked the bite from the sauerkraut. Fun for both the omnivore and those on a plant-based diet. The place was not packed on a Sunday night, but comfortable. Wine in water glasses help make this a nice and casual spot, that is healthy but also lets you indulge. read more

Best vegan cafe I've been to so far :) Their curried cauliflower soup was so creamy and the flavour and temperature was perfection. I tried what my friends ordered:"The other bowl" and the "Tempeh Reuben sandwich" The bowl was a very lightly seasoned and filling. Loved the sandwich! I'll definitely be ordering that next time. Felt so warm and cozy here both food and the atmosphere. Also relieved to know that there's no dairy used as I'm lactose intolerant. I wonder if I can buy their roasted almond tea in bulks 'cause I'm about to become obsessed! read more

I was underwhelmed by Bloomer's especially due to the big hype behind their doughnuts. They weren't particularly bad, just quite average. Something I did not like was that the filling in their doughnuts resemble buttercream icing rather than the typical fluffy, creamy filling you would expect in, which made the filled doughnuts VERY heavy (almost too much). I'm glad I tried them but I will not be giving them another shot. I will continue my search for the best doughnuts in Toronto! read more

To start, Bloomer's has a very sentimental place in the hearts of my partner and I because we went there on our first date. He had been raving about their donuts for weeks, when we were still just "Friends"... he said i had to try one! He even sent me a picture of the blueberry donut in a cute little box sitting on the grass at Christie Pits park. He told me he found the little box a little embarrassing to carry around in public, but the tasty donut was worth the embarrassment. Aside from love and donuts, Bloomer's has a variety of other baked goods including fresh made muffins, brownies (tasty!), and cakes! Haven't tried them all, but sign me up for anything with a bit of icing on it. I'm a sugar tooth. We usually come here for the donuts and get one flavour each. Make sure you don't come too late in the day cuz the dodos will be all gone. In all honesty, I was never a fan of donuts. I actively disliked them and thought they were kind of nasty and too dense but the Bloomer's donuts have really opening my eyes (or mouth, haha) to this great sweet snack! My favourite is the wild blueberry, my partner likes the lemon but also the blueberry, too. They have free water, like every establishment should. It come out of a little canteen spout thing. I must say, it comes out way too slow! Fix this please! Sometimes you need a drink of water, and you need it quick! Great water, though. 10/10 Now, for the staff... They are quick to help us get our donuts which is all that really matters! There is a rather pleasant lady who actually makes the donuts, she is so kind and about 5 foot 5 (in height). There is a guy who usually works the counter, too. He is nice and will crack a joke or two. One time I saw him jump over a cardboard box, way to keep us guessing! Now, for the decor... They have 3 nice booths for sittin'. The table is kind of far away from the actual booth where you sit, making laptop times a bit awkward. There are also arrangements of photos on the walls that are a not cohesive and seem a little far-fetched-forced-hipster chic vibes. We like making fun of them sometimes. The bathrooms, there are two, are very spacious and gracious! 10/10, never had a bathroom that big in my life. Sandwiches could definitely be a dollar cheaper for what you get. Don't make it so hard to be vegan, guys. (jokes). It's not that hard if you substitute meat with other protein. I remember the first day that Bloomer's opened. I thought to myself, "jeez not another dumb vegan hub", but this venture has surprised me and continues to WOW me with their vegan fare and guilt-free treats. The clientele seems to be university educated for the most part, with the exception of a few college graduates trying out vegan food for the first and last time. Overall, the clientele makes for some decent to good people watching as i sip my soy cappuccino and indulge in my graciously topped, flax filled dream of a morning donut. Thanks Bloomers for letting our love bloom. read more

Recently I often go there. I tried a cup cake before and it was not that good, so I tried hot chocolate with coconut milk. The hot chocolate was very good. Bloomer's is a trendy cool cafe. Customers and staff are cool. They are a vegan place. If you want to bring a friend who loves cow milk, be careful because Bloomer's do not have cow milk for coffee. read more

So happy to have found this place! First time ever that I've been somewhere that doesn't serve cow's milk - YAAY - and you're not just restricted to soy - no sirree! Rice, almond and coconut milk options! Delish doughnut - just the perfect consistancy! Had the "chicken wing" sandwich - oh my god - tempeh? Cauliflower? Who cares! It was great! My only pet peeve is that each of the (roomy, seats 4 or 6 people) booths there had one person, with a laptop/papers spread out, while a group of us was squished, touching the the other table next to us. Would I be complaining if I was there and had a booth all to myself? Probably not. Also LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that all of the ingredients are listed right in the pastry case. Will be back! read more

This review is purely donut based. I've been going to Bloomer's for the past while only to get a donut to go. The donuts are astounding. The donuts are the reason I wake up in the morning. My only complaint is that sometimes they are not open when I go. This means I am without a donut for the day. This thought makes me sad. read more

I'm not from Toronto but always go to Bloomers when we make the trip down. I ordered The Ruben sandwich and 3 donuts. Unfortunately, the Ruben is no longer the mouth watering sandwich they used to serve. I was so disappointed by a cold bagel with a few pieces of cold tempeh on it. I explained to the staff and she offered a refund and I did not take the bagel. She asked to take a photo from yelp's previous Ruben sandwich reviews and agreed it wasn't even close to the Reuben in the photos but couldn't say why. The donuts were amazing as always. I asked for a London Fog but was given the Rose one. I didn't notice until I was back in my car but it was tasty all the same. I really hope Bloomer's puts the Reuben back on the menu!! It was so delicious. read more

My husband and I just visited Toronto, and it was recommended that we check this place out, and I am SO glad we did! This place has the BEST donuts I have EVER had!! They were so fluffy and delicious!! And they're vegan! It's been 2 weeks since I've had these donuts, and I can't stop thinking about them!! read more

Was walking several down Bloor, STARVING, but didn't see a place that looked appetizing. Actually passed Bloomer's thinking it was just a cafe. But luckily I turned around, saw that they served lunch, and decided to give it a try. Only til I sat down did I realize it was a vegan spot, which made me hesitant at first, but since I'm making an attempt to be more healthy, I figured why not. Almost went for a sandwich but decided that one of the "bowls" was more my speed. I picked the "Other Bowl" which had brown rice, steamed greens, purple cabbage slaw, avo, sweet potato, dried cranberries, marinated grilled tofu, mixed seeds, and tahini dressing (which I took on the side). I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was! The ingredients were kinda separated (as opposed to everything being mixed up, which was great cause it allowed me to try out different combinations. The cabbage slaw was tasty, the greens were clean, and the sweet potato was a nice touch. I could eat that dish often. Also had the ice tea of the day which was a ginger blend. Not too sweet, just right. The service was great, the atmosphere was chill, and I definitely hope to pass through next time I'm in town. read more

I've been going to Bloomer's on a weekly (or more frequent) basis for a year and a half. It is far and away my favourite restaurant in Toronto. The owners are amazing and the staff I've gotten to know are incredibly nice and very helpful. There is a great range of sandwiches, bowls and salads, as well as loaded fries, onion rings, deep fried pickles etc. I've tried almost everything on the menu (in many cases several times over) and it's all delicious as heck. On the whole, there are no things I order more than others, because there are just so many great options. Oh and they have a huge number of incredible baked goods--donuts, muffins, cookies, cinnamon buns, tarts etc. They are my family's go to for birthday cakes we don't make ourselves. If you want to go to a great sandwich and salad and dessert shop in Toronto--go to Bloomer's. And then go back. They are lovely and great. read more

Great vegan cafe with delicious salads, rice bowls, vegan comfort food and DONUTS to die for! My faves are the Wakame bowl and pistachio rose donut. They also have a good beverage selection - Rise kombucha, artisanal sodas, craft beer and cider. My fav lunch spot in the neighbourhood! read more

Excellent place. I often meet my sister here to catch up and then do some work - and the environment is perfect for both. Haven't eaten full meals here yet, but the vegan cream cheese bagel was damn delicious (and this is coming from a non-vegan who loves her cream cheese bagels). A good place to bring someone who is nervous about vegan food! read more

Cute cafe location with great service. I only tried sweets-the lemon poppy seed cake and espresso donut were very yummy.

I bought a cake for my soon birthday party. Sadly I saw all the cake in the garbage.When I taste it I knew the reason dry,hard . It just tasted old ... read more

This is my very favourite place. Chilled out, great for meeting people or doing some work (power outlets everywhere and reliable wifi), great value delicious vegan food, including amazing bakery treats, and tasty coffee. Also excellent for dinner or a great selection of drinks in the evening. Ingredients for all the bakery goods are listed with the price in the display cabinet, which is really helpful for people with food allergies. The staff are super lovely; the kind of people that you'd want to come have drink with of an evening. read more

We got the burger after asking the server if it was big enough to share between two people (because we werent that hungry and had had a big breakfast, also it was expensive) and he said yes, definitely. We get the burger and it is seriously the smallest burger i have seen. It also doesn't have much inside it, its very plain, not especially flavourful or anything. Paid $14. Walked out hungry. Dont think i will visit again. read more

I lovelovelove Bloomer's! I've had the pleasure of having Kelly's baked goods at the Toronto Veg Fest several times and am SO excited that they've opened up a storefront. Go here, it's the best and you're supporting the small business of a really great person. Kat G, this is a VEGAN establishment, so by virtue of that of course they don't serve dairy. Some people, yeesh. read more

While out for a Saturday walk on a cool fall day we stopped in to try one of their donuts. The place is located on the south side of Bloor Street and features a selection of small tables on one side and a bar with a dessert case on the other. We walked in and waited simply to be served. While the place was busy with a younger, hip vegan crowd, no one made an effort to engage with us at all, until finally someone who was sitting at the counter like a customer decided to take our order. Needless to say we weren't impressed with the lax attitude towards customer service. We ordered one donut to go and were surprised not only at the cost but also how sweet it was. Too often vegan places over sweeten their desserts and Bloomer's is no exception. We will not be back. read more

Friends!!! Do not run from a vegan bakery, especially not when it's Bloomer's. I had no clue that this place was vegan, let alone offered a nice variety of gluten-free options (I thought "Bloomer's" = wheat blooming, and being celiac, gluten is my kryptonite). The vegan/gluten-free zucchini chocolate chip muffin I shovelled into my face this morning was AMAZING! It had all the flavour and moisture that all gluten-enduring human cherish in a good muffin, and didn't taste like sawdust or applesauce like most gluten-free stuff out there. I also love that they only offer organic almond or soy milk for your beverages, the 'Silk' stuff that most places use is full of gross additives and preservatives, but this thoughtful touch shows how much tasty, wholesome goodness goes into everything they make. I saw that they use tofutti cream cheese for their bagels, my only complaint would be that there wasn't a gluten-free bagel to go with it but I see their working on a lunch menu and I've got high hopes! read more

To my dismay, yet like so many blossoms, my love for Bloomer's has peaked and prematurely shriveled. Many moons ago, when I first tried the Portobello and Kimchi sandwich, I was blown away. Flavour, texture, proportions - bang on. Naturally, I came back for more. Again and again and again! (It's five minutes from my house.) Yet with each order, the portobello portion of said sandwich noticeably diminished. "Kind of lame," I thought to myself, but it was still a solid sandwich. However, the last time I came in, the sandwich consisted of one puny mushroom cap & the saddest sprinkling of kimchi I've ever seen. Deal breaker. There was more bun than anything else, and it was no pleasure to consume. What happened?? Improperly trained cooks? Inadequately stocked rations? Stingy owners? Can't say for sure, but I'd lean towards the latter since their loose leaf tea bags have also drastically decreased in fullness so much so that what I drank with my lightly-dressed-bun-called-"sandwich" was more like very mildly flavoured hot water. The experience left me feeling utterly ripped off and compelled to share this tale with others. I'll likely come back for the odd cookie or whatnot, but nothing more. Regular customer status: lost. Poor show, Bloomer's. I miss the way we used to be. read more

One of my favorite vegan spots to hit when I'm downtown. Great music, rustic worn in feel, and always a great section of gf/v bake goods.

Love the concept, the atmosphere, the service, the presentation and the location. Very sadly, the only thing I did not like was the food, it was way to greasy for my taste. I only had a sandwich and a salad, but now I am scared to try out more. read more

I love the desserts here! So good and amazing! I love it and it's vegan! I would recommend this place in a hear beat! Even to non vegans

The pulled jacked burger I really enjoyed. The jacked fruit was cooked to a similar texture and flavor to meat. The maple and pecan donut was too sweet for me. The butter tart was just pecans, sugar, and maple syrup- again too sweet for me. The ginger tea was soothing. The service was nice. read more

Food was good. Not worth the 1/2 hr wait for food or the 15 minute wait to pay the bill. If you have some time on your hands, go visit. If you have kids with you, forget about it. read more

Don't come here on a Wednesday. I've been to this place many times (usually part of my Tuesday routine) and the food and service has always been amazing. The past two Wednesdays I felt like I was in a different restaurant. The food was subpar; forgotten items and burnt onion rings and the service was just plain rude. It breaks my heart to say this because this place has been excellent in the past. read more

Bloomer's is such a cool spot! The bagels are LIFE CHANGING. Seriously. WIth tofutti cream cheese it's a game changer for sure. The Boston Cream doughnut is everything you could ever dream of; an old fashioned creamy and chocolatey confection with what tastes like just a hint of citrus (?) in the background. The owners are lovely and welcoming, and the atmosphere is great for a daytime date! Highly recommended! read more

Bloomer's has the best vegan donuts in Toronto and I've been very excited over their french toast on their new brunch menu. Lunch menu is great as well and yet I'm giving such a low rating as I've frequented here maybe a hundred times over the past few years and the table service is the worst I have ever experienced. In fact, I swore there was no table service and yet one time I tried ordering at the cash one of the staff members was actually incredibly rude, gave me a menu and told me to sit down. I have literally waited an hour without receiving any acknowledgment whatsoever. This is after what takes me about an hour to drive here. I've always been friendly and tipped well. Too bad we don't have even more vegan options as I would be happy to never come back here ever again after being ignored every single time. read more

Bloomers has a great vibe, really wonderful owners, decent coffee and very tasty baked goods. Pleasantly surprised when it first opened, Bloomers has become a major go to for a quick breakfast in the morning. read more

This place is just so good! I love the atmosphere and most importantly the food! I'm a long time vegan but have taken so many omni friends here and they absolutely love it. The baked goods are top notch, bagels are unbeatable, the bowls are filling and healthy, the sandwiches super satisfying. I think what I like most is that you can have a really tasty lunch or dinner/drinks date here or get a coffee and donut and read all by yourself. Keep it up, Bloomer's!! read more

Bloomers has quickly become my favourite cafe in Toronto. The fact that it's vegan is the cherry on top. It has a great atmosphere with lots of seating, and more importantly, everything I've had so far has been delicious. The owner, Kelly, is lovely and seems to be behind the counter most---if not all---days. This is definitely a local business worth supporting. I highly recommend the cowboy cookie and tempeh reuben! read more

I stopped in for a sweet baked treat on my way home from work on a frosty evening. (Recently diagnosed with celiac, I'm still in the mourning stages of all the baked things you could want steps from wherever you're standing in this city.) So I happened upon Bloomer's and was offered lovely looking muffins and cookies, but my decision was made for me when I learned that the miniature carrot cake in the display case was safe for me to eat. (This is what I miss most right now from my wheat-eating days, strangely.) No joke, this was easily the tastiest carrot cake I've ever had, and I've had (and baked) a great many. The people there were also wonderful, super nice, even though it was almost closing time. Give it a whirl, whether or not you're a vegan or have issues with gluten, it's that good. read more

The doughnuts are great and the americanos and espressos are good, but they don't have real milk (no latte) and the internet is bad and not reliable. read more

If I could go here everyday, I would. But I no longer live near bloor and have moved more uptown so I definitely come by once in awhile for some awesome treats. I love Bloomer's, at first I was unsure weather they would be any different from other vegan places and they would be bland, but they are quite the opposite. I love their doughnuts / doughnut holes. They are my favourite doughnuts in Toronto (I'm sorry but I went to beechwood doughnuts and no one can beat them). I love that their doughnuts taste fresh and their dough seems to have more effort than just being deep fried and bland which I find is the case at some other vegan spots in the area. My only complaint is that I wish they had a more variety of doughnut flavours on a daily basis because well I've tried them all and I want more! The atmosphere is really nice, even with limited seating. I've tried their other baked goods such as their cinnamon rolls and bagels and I love them too. I've had their food before and their sandwiches are good as well, but I'm more of a dessert kind of person anywho. Good vibe, good food, keep it up! read more

Overall this place is great. If you're looking for tasty vegan food that's still somewhat health oriented, this is the place to go. They have a wide selection of salads, bowls and sandwiches. The Cobb salad is literally to die for, hands down best vegan Cobb I've ever tried. Also the yegg salad is definitely worth trying if you're vegan and miss regular egg salads. It's scarily similar to the real thing. The "other" salad/bowl is also quite delicious. The sandwiches and burgers are over seasoned and too saucy, they need to tone it down a bit on them. The tempeh Reuben is overpowering and the chunks of tempeh were not fully cooked when we got it, would not recommend the tempeh Reuben. The soups are usually flavourful and filling. I've only ever had some of the raw desserts and the butter tart. The raw desserts are amazing, do yourself a favour and get the snickers bar of you're feeling like a treat!!! You won't regret it. The butter tart however, is sickly sweet and way to runny. I've never tried their donuts but I've heard good things. They have a nice selection of drinks, their lattes are good and they have a wide varieties of teas. The service is great and the staff are super friendly and down to earth. I had a lot of questions when I went and they were able to answer all of them. Definitely one of the best vegan spots in Toronto, good for a casual muffin and coffee meet up or a date night! read more

I can and will eat here every time I come to town. Great food, great atmosphere. It can be hard to get a table, but they're super friendly staff will be more than helpful. And 100% vegan. Love this place. read more

Honestly, the donuts. The sandwiches and healthy bowls are good too, but who are we kidding, the donuts are ridiculously good. The rose pistachio is everything but it's like, always sold out. There's no dairy in anything incl the espresso drinks which would usually turn me off but it just works there. It's a great spot. read more
