I'd expect to see this bookstore cafe in somewhere like in Ogunquit, Burlington, Bar Harbor, Austin, or Asheville? Super cute place with an interesting, eclectic selection of used books. They have a little coffee shop/cafe at the front - and there's an area where they have talks and live music on certain days. The people who work there are so incredibly friendly and helpful. I think there's a cute little outdoor area, but it was closed last time I visited. Hope to drop by here next time I'm in Staten Island!

Amazing coffee, but there was some traffic on my way back home. Take it up with Bloom Cafe!read more

The order is brought out to you but that is the only table service you receive. You collect your own napkins and utensils from the station located near the restroom, and you toss out your trash. PROS: - no stairs, easy entrance for those who use walkers, wheel chairs, strollers, etc. - expansive menu including hot food options, milkshakes, etc. (more than just a coffee shop menu) - cool vibe, antique decor, string lighting and variety of heights for seating options (high top tables, standard tables, couches, etc) - amazing bakery selection including novelty cakes; authentic and professional CONS: - sometimes lacks available seating, especially on weekends - sometimes lacks available parking, especially on weekends - could use better ongoing table clean up My go to drink is the iced toffee coffee. My go to breakfast is the yogurt & honey which is a generous portion. I also enjoy the potato peppers & eggs. For lunch they have an expansive salad menu. I really enjoy the Mediterranean salad (which used to be called the Israeli salad). This is a family friendly establishment. Always fun to take a stroll through the antique store which you can access from the dining establishment.

I stopped by and placed a mobile order for a tea and an apple turnover. After waiting for a bit at…read morethe pick-up location, I finally got someone's attention to help me. One of the servers let me know they didn't have any apple turnovers, so they gave me an apple puff pastry. Imagine my surprise when I got to my seat to find that it was completely hollow, not a single apple in sight! So I went back to the counter to let them know. The servers were very kind and took pictures to let their boss know, and gave me an apple fritter instead. I guess third times the charm, because that was very tasty. We stayed at our table for a while, and it got very busy. Some of my friends waited a long time for their food to be ready, but everything did taste good. I'll probably go back and hopefully have a better experience with ordering my food, because I really did enjoy the energy and everything I tried.

My personal happy place to come and enjoy one of my many favorites, toasted brick oven rolls with butter and a tall hazel nut latte.

I ordered my daughters bridal shower cookies and everyone enjoyed them. I look forward to going to the sweet shop on weekends, never disappointed.

This was our first time and we tried the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich, the KOVA Breakfast, and spicy fries. We both asked for our eggs to be cooked medium and they were probably the closest to over medium we've ever received at a restaurant! Most of the time, they end up coming out over easy, so this shows their attention to detail. The food was absolutely delicious. We also tried an iced matcha and iced lavender mocha coffee, both of which were very good. The inside of this place is very clean and chic. I also enjoyed the coffee-shop-type background music they play. We are not from the area, but if we are back in the area, we will definitely be stopping by for another visit.

They had a lot of cream inside and outside. They were a bit bigger than normal and to me, looked more like cakes than croissants. I got the chocolate and strawberry flavors (my kids tried them and liked them - I couldn't, gluten allergy:( ). The kids couldn't finish them and just had half. The cost of a croissant- close to $10 each! The place was clean and spacious. Staff was friendly and I liked that Turkish tea gets served on a tiny Persian rug. With that said, I can't get past the price tag. I just think it is way too expensive for what it is.
