| - 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.
