| - Café Bloom! Yay! Happy place!
That is how I feel when I walk in the door. The light. The friendly service. The other clientele. What can I say? Positive vibes all around, it's just a great spot.
Their pastries are out of this world, but unfortunately, they are so out of this world that there often aren't any left after the breakfast rush. Le sigh... But if you get there in time, you'll find a pretty good assortment of croissants and muffins, as well as some nice little treats like canelés.
If I had one criticism it would be that they should really kind of have a proper pastry case, and keep it stocked a bit better. (There's something about pastries just sitting on plates atop a counter that makes everything seem...wilted...) But I mean, it's a small thing. Not going to keep me away from a good cookie.
Coffee is great. I'm a huge fan of any place that defaults to whole milk in their beverages. I mean...come on...if we're going to drink a creamy latte in a bowl, let's do it for real. (And if I may play the nerdy barista for a moment - more fattening milk is not better simply because milk fat is delicious, it also produces a far superior foam. Fats make the bubbles perfect.)
I love their brunch/lunch quinoa bowls, and they do waffles all day long, which is pretty sweet.
Take note - lunch is all week, brunch is only on the weekend.
They're kid friendly, they're big group friendly.
