I visited Cafe Bloom with three friends and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. We waited over an hour for our food, and during that time no one came to our table to provide any updates. I had to get up and ask about our order three separate times. When the food finally arrived, it came out at different times even though we had ordered the same burgers. The food was also cold when it arrived. My burger was incomplete, and I had to get up a fourth time to ask about the missing maduros that were supposed to come with my meal. In addition, our water glasses sat empty for a long time, and I had to get up yet again to ask for refills because no one checked on our table. To make matters worse, the burger came with mayonnaise even though it was not listed on the menu. Poor communication, slow service, cold food, and inaccurate menu descriptions made for a very frustrating dining experience. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This was the cutest cafe in Washington Heights! Decorated with florals all over, artwork, book shelf, along with a green and pink motif.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a cozy and welcoming ambiance to the place, with lovely natural lighting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a Pumpkin Spice Latte and Tres Golpe breakfast. The Latte was served in a clear glass cup with nice design on top. The coffee was smooth and creamy, but the Pumpkin Spice flavor didn't come through strongly enough. For the Tres Golpe, I requested Tostones instead of mashed plantains. The Tres Golpe also came with fried cheese, chorizo, as well as eggs any style, which I got fried over hard. It was a beautiful plate. Tostones were quite bland however and too thick for my liking. I added pieces of chorizo, egg, and cheese on top of them, which helped. The Chorizo was tender, juicy, and well seasoned, while the cheese was perfectly fried, slightly crisp, and full of great flavor. Eggs were also cooked just right. Service was good. I would love to return to try the Pan Seared Salmon, Steak Sandwich, and some other coffee drinks. read more

Everytime we have eaten here it has been amazing. Visited today and just got a coffee and was disappointed they were closing for a private event so they didn't have their usual treats on display. I would recommend calling before going just to see if they are open. Glad I was able to get my coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location and environment is beautiful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Cute and intimate café perfect for working on your laptop reading a book or catching up over a meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Limited seating option but it has high feelings for the face does not feel too crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place rocks! They're not a fast food joint, they make everything fresh, so be patient and enjoy the ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The young man taking our orders was super kind to us and made great iced lattes. My partner had the tres golpes and I had the cheese empanadas. Both were cooked perfectly! We saw the couple next to us order tostones that looked so good that it made us jealous, so we'll have to try those next time. Thanks for the great food and neighborly experience! Looking forward to coming back. 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

I came here on a date awhile ago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute cafe with lots of flowers, both real and fake ones.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It made the vibe confusing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was okay. I got a nutella latte- pretty good!! Would return for the coffee and maybe food. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is the cutest coffee shop/restaurant in the area by far![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lady who served us was super nice & friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant itself is super cute for getting a little work done or having coffee with a friend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is always music playing, so keep that in mind and grab some headphones if you plan to bring a book or laptop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

Cafe Bloom - Iced coffee and the brunch burger - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The cafe itself was cute but the food and service were disappointing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the music playing in the background fit the mood of the café perfectly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

Highly recommend this place! I had a huge craving for fresh squeezed lemonade and Bloom has it! Friendly staff with a smile. Really enjoyed this accidental find but can't wait to return to try their other offerings at some point! read more

Stopped in here for an hour to do some work on my computer before getting my nails done nearby. Wow! I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. I had a chai tea latte. This cafe is so cute. 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 didn't get any food but they have a good selection including vegetarian options. Will be back for sure. read more

I can't believe I took me so long to discover this new place in my neighborhood. Cafe Bloom is a treasure! The food was excellent, the owner was on site and super friendly, and the decor and ambiance made me feel right at home. It's a little delicious affordable oasis on that stretch of Broadway. read more

The best flat white I've ever tasted. Brunch was serviceable. The Belgium waffles and bacon were cooked just right ( at least to my taste). The fried eggs were just as ordered. I was looking for a low-stress environment to just enjoy my coffee and read my newspaper. As I live just up the block, I will certainly eat here again. read more

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
