Cute and intimate café perfect for working on your laptop reading a book or catching up over a meal. Limited seating option but it has high feelings for the face does not feel too crowded. From the service from the employees. All food we tried was amazing, we had the cajun chicken wrap, muffin pancakes, bloom breakfast burrito, and fries to eat. They all had great taste, my favorite was the cajun chicken wrap, it was packed with flavor. And for drinks we had an OJ (felt like it was overpriced $5), tumeric ginger tea, and a coffee. Would definitely come here again! read more

I came here on a date awhile ago. This is a cute cafe with lots of flowers, both real and fake ones. We commented that one side of the cafe has library vibes with people reading and on their laptops while the other half is club vibes with people chatting and the speakers blasting club music. It made the vibe confusing. If I could put my environment on mute this is the place to read or write with piano music in the background but if I was blind, it sounds like I'm at a bbq or one of the first people at the club. We came here to have a quiet lunch and read together but it was too noisy for me. I wasn't able to focus for long periods at a time. Food was okay. I got a nutella latte- pretty good!! Would return for the coffee and maybe food. read more

As I get older, all I want to do is sit around for hours and catch up with friends and Cafe Bloom was perfect for this. After a walk around the nearby park, my friend and I came and got chai lattes - she got it iced and I got it hot. For the chai connoisseurs - no, this is not the best chai ever, but still good! The place itself is cozy and cute with ample seating. I like that they also gave us flower coasters with our drinks. It's the little things that count! Service was a bit confusing to me because it seemed like they did waiting service except that to check out and pay, we had to go up to the register and do that. So it felt like a half-hearted waiting situation? We weren't inconvenienced by this, but was just unsure what was the procedure here since it was our first time. read more

This is the cutest coffee shop/restaurant in the area by far! The lady who served us was super nice & friendly and the restaurant itself is super cute for getting a little work done or having coffee with a friend. There is always music playing, so keep that in mind and grab some headphones if you plan to bring a book or laptop. As far as the food... the only thing I would not recommend are the muffin pancakes. They didn't feel cooked all the way through and they were hard to remove from their tins. They however made my eggs the exact way I like them, and the drinks were really good! read more

The cafe itself was cute but the food and service were disappointing. Despite there only being 4 other people in the cafe, it took almost half an hour to get my food. I had the Belgian waffles which tasted like they used pancake batter and left them out overnight. The scrambled eggs were not scrambled at. By the time I got my food it was already lukewarm. I would only go here for drinks and cannot recommend the food. read more

Cafe Bloom is amazing, The food was fresh and full of flavor It took a moment to get there but when I asked, I found out that everything is made fresh daily and was delicious. I don't think I've ever had a better meal in my 29 years of living, and the service was friendly and fast with drinks. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the music playing in the background fit the mood of the café perfectly. I'll be coming back to this place. read more

I feel like a should preface this by saying I very rarely write negative reviews but I just had a frustrating experience here. So starting off with the positives-- the cafe is VERY cute inside, love the art, although I did find the seating a bit cramped. Food was also decent, I'd rate it a 4 (I particularly enjoyed the Bloom breakfast with chorizo). Chai latte was meh. Had it just been ambiance and food, I would've given 4 stars. Why the low rating then? Because it has been a LONG time since I've had to wait this long for food at a restaurant. It wasn't like we ordered anything complex either (or were a huge party, it was just 4 people), it was like...sandwiches. It should not have taken an hour from time of ordering to arrive. It took like 20-25 min just for us to get water. When we asked around the 40 min mark for an update on the food, the waitress said she'd check, then walked away and never came back. Asked another waitress, she said we were going to be next (spoiler alert, we were not next). So in summary: I'd only recommend coming here if you're not remotely in any hurry to get food. read more

The service of the guy working the counter/tables is what stood out. I go to cafes in the city quite a bit and can't remember the last time I had this good of customer service.

I usually do not write reviews however I feel they are needed in order to improve. Went in today to have me time & enjoy not only my day off but this beautiful day. Came in not greeted, sat myself down. That's fine I'm patient because I could see that there's clearly people ahead of me. However after waiting 15 minutes & still not being greeted, a menu being left, at least a glass of water on this 80+ day I had to leave. It was clear that they were understaffed which has been a problem when this place used to be Halo. Management do right by the employee who is always there she's trying to do her best. However she can only do but so much on her own. read more

Second time visiting this place, the inside is very nice, I like the vibe. Unfortunately so many things went wrong in this visit. I ordered a cappuccino, after a couple of sip on it I noticed that the milk was getting weird, that's when I realized that the milk was bad. I sent it back and they returned my cappuccino starting that it was fine. It was getting thicker and thicker so I explained that I didn't feel safe drinking that coffee but they insisted that it was fine. I just couldn't drink any more. I tried to enjoy the environment and let it pass on that. But it really bothered me that they didn't see any issues with a spoiled milk. Food came and my toast was hard as a rock and cold, pouched eggs too. I didn't want to look like a "Karen" so I just ate it like that. The cherry on top was when we got the appetizer right in the middle of us eating our food. I forgot about it completely and was so surprised they brought it to us, it's supposed to be an appetizer. Guess what? It was cold too and the chicken was so hard and dry. I couldn't anymore I just sent it back and told her the chicken was dry and cold. I'm not sure what was in their mind!!! I just can't believe people are risking their business like that and playing with customer health... read more

The meal started with coleslaw and both a half sour and full sour pickle--such a classic deli touch, and a great way to kick things off. I ordered the half sandwich with matzah ball soup, and the portion sizes were no joke. The soup alone could have been a full meal: a huge bowl with an equally massive matzah ball. The broth was warm and soothing, and the matzah ball was incredibly light with a perfect texture. The half pastrami on rye was just as impressive. Even "half" was stacked high with flavorful, tender pastrami. Adding a bit of mustard from the table brought everything together--it was simple, classic, and exactly what I was hoping for. Not only was it one of the more reasonably priced meals of the trip, but it was also genuinely satisfying.
