Blooming Grounds Coffee House - Dre burrito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Winona, Minnesota

Nice shop, great food! Street parking. Plenty of inside and outside seating. Took quite a bit to get the food service but they disclose on a sign that it can take up to a 1/2 hour if it's busy. The chorizo egg bowl was flavorable with a medium spice. You don't need to add the additional sauces available. Loaded with sweet potatoes. Bagel sandwiches were good, warm. Eggs were fluffy. The loaded avocado toast was amazing, flavorful, seasoned right, overflowing in the basket. read more

Tried this place because it was available on door dash. I wouldn't order from them again. The coffee was simply mediocre at best. They do offer a lot of flavor options which is nice. I'm an iced coffee girl so I got an iced pumpkin spice latte with an extra shot. I was really disappointed in the size of the coffee you get for the price. I ordered large and it was the size of Dixie cup at best....it was a $9 drink....so unfortunately going forward I will stick with scooters or caribou. read more

We love this place. Great food, friendly service. They always have something new on the menu. The pastries are amazing

Always a good stop! Lovely coffee and tea options - generous and friendly staff with clean atmosphere. I like to call in my order ahead of time so I don't have to wait for my drinks to be made and only have to pay. I believe they have an app to order on also, although I've never used it. My one complaint is that sometimes the baked items are underdone. read more

Pretty disappointed. Ordered French Onion soup via Doordash, no cheese in it which is how it should be served, also little flavor and they only filled my cup a little over 1/2 way. Basically rip off and canned Campbell's French Onion is better. I mean such little flavor and without the traditional cheese and crusty slice of crouton what makes this restaurant worthy at all? read more

My absolutely favorite Coffee Shop! I have been a customer there for many years. I go there every day if it's possible. Great sandwiches, soups, salads and baked goods. Pizzas after 2:00. They are very proficient at hiring people that know their job and do it well. read more

Delightful coffee shop in downtown Winona.They have some really creative coffee drinks and the woman managing the place place help me craft a decaf one to replicate their special of the month. Well-stocked pastry case- my almond bar was super delish. I was their late afternoon but it looked like a great spot for an easy lunch. read more

There are plenty of tables in the shade outside the shop and plenty elbow and leg room. Unfortunately the inside has an awkward confusing configuration which seemed to confuse patrons and employees alike. The menus are in a box on the side with a cardboard sign with arrow pointing the way. People order at the narrow counter and in a queue of more than two there is no room to move. The order taken everyone looks at each other as the employees turn back and go about their business. There is a pick up order sign around the corner, but some are brought over the order counter and others are brought to the pickup side. There is table seating as well and they serve beer. The sandwich menu was impressive and there is some creative pastries. The brewed dark was not up to my level of par as it was not hot enough after being kept in an air pot and then there's the dreaded acidic taste. read more

Fun little coffee shop with good breakfast sandwiches. Was busy and took a bit to get our food but service was good and good atmosphere.

Nice place, good food and service. Not much else to say. Near the university, they show case locals art work which I especially liked about the place. read more

First time customer traveling through town. We popped in for a quick sandwich and two regular, 12 oz. black coffees. Great location, nice ambiance. Coffees were served first; both were tepid, disappointingly. When the server brought out our sandwich, I mentioned politely that both coffees were lukewarmwarm and please could we have two hot coffees? No "sorry, of course." She rolled her eye, grabbed our cups and stormed off in a huff. Is it too much to ask a coffee shop to serve HOT coffee?! Another server brought out our two replacement coffees. Nary a word from her, either, but she received a thanks from both of us. Rude. We'll never stop there again. read more

THIS PLACE WAS FANTASTIC! I'm bummed that I will probably never be back in this area to go again. My husband is not a fan of coffee, so he ordered a vanilla frappe which he thought was the best he'd ever had. I ordered a latte, also very delicious. Bacon wrapped cheese curds? YES, PLEASE! DO NOT leave here without ordering these. They are not breaded or greasy and you don't even need the sauce they come with. However, I'm glad we had that sauce because it paired perfectly with my breakfast burrito. I got it "loaded" and it was FANTASTIC! We ate it too fast to get a pic! My husband ordered a bagel sandwich. He said it was good, but needed cream cheese (but he didn't bother to ask for any). He also LOVED my burrito and ended up eating his sandwich and half of my burrito. read more

We stopped for lunch after a college tour and loved the Super Duper paninis! Really enjoyed the relaxed and cozy vibe. Will be back!

Nice place to grab breakfast with nephew Loren who lives in town and frequents this place. Eclectic and fun environs make for a good time.

"I got nasty habits; I take tea at three." ~Mick Jagger One crisp afternoon my bud and I were feeling chilly from walking around in the cold, and needed to defrost before going to pot. We knew Blooming Grounds would be the perfect cozy spot to warm up with a hearty meal. Once inside, we were greeted by a friendly crew who told us not to be wallflowers, and to go blooming seat ourselves (but in more pleasant verbiage). We found a place to plant right next to the fireplace, where we had front row concert seats by the stage for the evening's live entertainment, with Mick Blooming Jagger himself looking over our shoulders. Or Steven Tyler. The debate rages on as to which one... Once our rock star seating was secured, we ventured back to the counter to place our panini orders. We almost always either order the Caprese pesto pizza or the panini--you'll get a tasty meal made with quality ingredients either way. The panini are all made with with preservative-free, herbed focaccia bread and nitrate-free, organic meat. My friend picked a panino with organic, free-range chicken, a homemade olive and artichoke spread, and Havarti cheese, with a side of crab soup. I selected chicken, provolone, avocado, and bacon, with a side of red pepper gouda soup, and the blooming masterpiece was complete. The panini were stuffed with the perfect amount of juicy, thick, tender meat, and our soups were piping hot with flavor. On our way out we stopped at the counter to drool at the unbelievable arrangement of dessert bars baked daily by the owner. You really can't leave without taking one for the road. Steven thinks you should try them all, because you "...Don't Want to Miss a Thing." The chocolate oatmeal revel bars in particular are something to celebrate! I could rave for days about their chewy, oat cookie crust, and rich, fudgy filling goodness. If it contains oats, it can only be healthy, right? The bars are cut into huge squares and are thick to begin with, so don't try to eat an entire one yourself unless you've "Got the Moves like Jagger". Mick blooming Jager, that is. Take them home to share with family or friends instead. You're a daisy if you do. I give the blooming restaurant 4 Rag Dolls. We'll be back for an encore. "I came into music just because I wanted the bread. It's true. I looked around and this seemed like the only way I was going to get the kind of bread I wanted."

Stopped here when going through town picked up two pieces of bakery and two beverages. Both were definitely in the two star category would not stop by again. read more

After reading the great reviews we decided to give this place a try. It is one of those things that I struggle with when I try a place based on great reviews because I think that raises the bar in my mind. We felt that the food was just okay. I got the Prime Steak Penine and it was okay, something spicy that I could not identify but it was average. My wife got something with chicken and artichokes and I am not sure what it is with this sandwich but it had a very sweet flavor to it that was just odd. My wife thought it tasted like banana bread. We also got the soup which was really more like chili, but it was not bad. The place is cool inside, and we didn't get coffee which is maybe why they have such good reviews. read more

I cannot tell you how many times I've been here. The food never gets old and they always have new and exciting drinks!

They always have amazing food and treats. As well as amazing staff and environment! Very cute place to catch up with a friend or study.

I hate to do this as I've had their skinny vanilla lattes in the past and they were good. But this past weekend I stopped there twice and both drinks were horrendous...I thought the first was just a fluke. The second time I got a white chocolate peppermint mocha and it was awful. I couldn't even have more than a couple sips. I went straight to Starbucks....sigh.... On a brighter note...their sweet treats looked delicious. read more

Pretty good place to go! I'm not a fan of their coffee, but they do have really good food. A little pricey but nothing too bad, the food is worth the price. Only had one issue with an employee otherwise great customer service all around. Wicked fast 5G WiFi is definitely a big plus. Would recommend. read more

Blooming Grounds Coffee House - a hand holding a cupcake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Winona, Minnesota

Went for breakfast on a Sunday mid morning. Very busy, line was fairly long as expected for a weekend morning . Ordered breakfast food and coffee. Quiche and burritos,muffin. After waiting 40 minutes at our table , we asked the person at the counter to check on our order. 10 minutes later our two quiches were delivered- cold. No burrito no muffin. I believe our order was lost . We took the quiche back to counter to have them heat it up. 5 minutes later someone delivered the heated up quiche - still no burrito or muffin 10 minutes later burrito delivered . Temp good and good flavor. Coffee was good. I get the struggle all restaurants are feeling right now with lack of help and I have lowered my expectations. But on the other hand some restaurants are doing really well and service is good. Will stop again for a coffee and bakery item but will not be back to dine in. read more

Cool little place. Classic, downtown coffee restaurant. I just came for coffee a couple of times when I'm town for work. They were the only ones that opened early enough. Coffee and vibe were nice. They got busier during lunch so I'm sure that was good even though I didn't try it. read more

Great local business. Same talented team as Muddle Thyme. Sandwiches are great and try a coffee and one of baked goods.

On a motorcycle trip with friends. Decided to start the day with some place "local." Good coffee, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, delicious food. I had the quiche and was pleased. If you're in the area looking for coffee, breakfast foods, this is a good spot to go and hang out. read more

Pretty good iced coffee, but the real treasure of this place is the staff. They were so sweet and quite funny! Also- I had the Pesto Wrap and it was absolutely OUTSTANDING. I would pay someone for that recipe, and want to eat it again and again. read more

Blooming Grounds was a really cute place! I loved the ambiance with the lights and live music. I had a caramel frappuchino one morning which was delicious and it was cozy and relaxing to enjoy from the booth. I came back for pizza on a weeknight, and it was very good. However, I was a little bummed that the pizzas were so small (pretty much a personal size if you're hungry) for the price (around ~$12 each). Also, it took over 20 minutes for them to come out even though there were very few people there. If you aren't on a budget or in a hurry the food and drinks were great and I would recommend it! read more

Great little place. The food is decent and I'm not a huge fan of any of the beverages I've gotten there but the atmosphere and service is fantastic. Very friendly cashiers. It can get sort of crowded so I recommend going at off times. read more

Used to come here all the time in college and stopped back while visiting town - it's even better than I remember!
