    The breakfast was yummy and the coffee was the best part. Eating in a greenhouse is already wonderful. The only downside was how long it took to get our food.

    Visited for the first time today and was so surprised by this little gem tucked away in Mars. You order your food in the cafe and wait for It to be delivered to your table just across the sidewalk in their greenhouse. The food was good and the menu had alot of offerings I'm excited to try. Most of all, i enjoyed the ambiance. Eating in the greenhouse gave you a sense of outdoors, fresh air, and there was lots of beautiful plants and knick knacks to explore.

    I got the chicken Caesar sandwich which was on special. And it was amazing. I didn't want it to end! My friend for the breakfast sandwich and loved it! I also got a piece of cookie cake and I enjoyed it. I would love to go back in the summer when you can sit outside.

    My first time coming here was for a yelp event last year that I absolutely loved and I'm sad to say it didn't quite live up to the hype. By no means was it bad but it was definitely not as good as the event. A ham and apple sandwich was good very light so don't be too hungry if you order it or maybe order a extra side of something I enjoyed the apple I feel like it really added to the sandwich. The scramble was all right, not necessarily my taste, but there was nothing exclusively wrong with it. The bread tasted really fresh though. I ordered a chocolate chip cookie as a sweet treat to go, however, I didn't finish it because it was dry and lack flavor. The reason it's getting four stars instead of three is definitely the ambience being able to enjoy my meal in the greenhouse is definitely the biggest flex they have. It's so beautiful and even though it was a cold day, I was good. I did see that they have blankets in case it's extra cold for your convenience which I appreciated. I would come back for the ambience of the greenhouse and giving the food one more try before I strictly go for greenery.

    I love visiting Bloom Cafe regularly and make it a point to go regularly when the weather is good to sit outside. They don't have inside seating but you can find some indoor seats by the greenhouse. Back patio is pleasant and you feel like being in a garden. Couple of seats up front are good for an expansive view. They come and find your number where ever you are sitting. No issues with service ever and they're pretty quick! Love it that they have full coffee as well as food, which is generally quite great and fresh. I had this wrap recently and it wasn't much to look at to be honest, but it was amazing and delicious! :-) The avocado toast was a bit small for my preference. I've had the Bloom Toast and I've loved that too. They have a loyalty program, which I like to have for my frequent places. I figured theirs gets me a latte every 7ish breakfast visits. It's a coffee a year - not the greatest. But if you go with family it will add up to more quicker. Wifi barely makes it onto the patio. Sit up front if you want wifi! Happy to keep going back!

    Enjoying an early breakfast which was worth the wait. Late summer/ early fall with the cooler weather and blossoming flowers is one of my favorite times to visit. The summer chia bowl with lemons, berries, peaches and peaches was delicious.

    We drove by this super cute spot a few times and I decided I had to go! It's a cute cafe adjacent to a nursery, with plenty of plants, shaded seating and colorful murals. Menu includes breakfast and lunch dishes, and maybe we didn't order the best items but I was a little underwhelmed by food quality compared to the pricing. The spicy veggie sandwich was basic wheat bread with scant toppings, but the sauce was good. The Tuscan tuna sandwich had good flavor but also felt lacking. Service was lackluster and left my coffee sitting on the counter for the duration of our meal rather than bring it out with our food - we were the only customers and there were several employees standing around. Cute spot, come for the vibes.

    I loved visiting Bloom Cafe with my girl friends for breakfast over the weekend. It may not look like it, but there is ample seating behind the cafe on the patio, as well as a lounge room, and the greenhouse! You can order at the counter and pay, and the staff will bring the food over to you. I asked for their recommendation on drinks, and I ordered a seasonal cold brew that was delicious. Even though the staff was busy, they were incredibly nice and efficient. Can't wait to be back.

    I have heard a lot about this adorable place and, being from the South Hills, never had the opportunity to stop by until last weekend when I was in the area meeting up with friends for another activity nearby. Two of us met at the café to grab a drink and a bite to eat. They have a delicious sounding menu focused on fresh, farm-to-table, seasonal items. My friend got a sandwich, which I believe was on Mediterra bread. I got a Mac and cheese which I have to say was a little disappointing; I just prefer it a little creamier and cheesier. However, my iced latte, which was a seasonal fall creation, was absolutely phenomenal. You order at the counter and they will bring it to you wherever you are sitting, which lucky for us was in the beautiful garden center. We did a little tour of the property which includes gorgeous plants you can buy, as well as all kinds of home decor, gifts, fall pumpkins, etc. There are gorgeous bright murals on the walls outdoors and the whole place couldn't be more Instagrammable. I wish I had been here during breakfast hours as they had some lovely seasonal items such as granolas I would have liked to try. It's a lovely vibe with lovely food and drinks, and I will certainly be back next time I am in the area!

    Bloom cafe is extremely cute with a nursery and little store attached in theory I love this place, but the food just doesn't hold up. With my last visit I got the pub turkey panini and a coffee for about $20 and this is how it looked. Anything else I have ordered here in the past has also fallen flat in the same way- turkey was a bit too dry, the garlic aoili had no garlic taste, three singular pieces of arugula. It's just a bit scant for the price point. I think with other pgh sandwich places and cafes as its competition bloom just does not hold its own in food quality. I do recommend going here though and maybe getting a coffee and buying some plants as it is a great spot to at least check out and the employees are very nice. I just would be wary about spending a meal time here, anything more than an avocado toast will leave you pretty unsatisfied unfortunately. (Previously similar experiences with their pastrami sandwich, lox, and chicken salad)

    Incredible experience!! We got the Chefs Breakfast Sandwich and the Sweet Potato Hash (special menu item) and both were excellent. We ordered and got our food brought out to us in the Greenhouse seating section. We had fun walking around the Greenhouse area and shop! Definitely recommend.

    I love that this cafe is right next to a greenhouse and also has patio seating inside the greenhouse, surrounded by plants and cute gardening merchandise. There's a place to order coffee, along with an area to order breakfast or lunch -- lots of sandwiches and salad options. There's also a little gift shop in the cafe with grab and go options, mugs and little gift items! I loved this place and can't wait to spend a spring morning hwr

    The coffee is delicious, the salad is refreshing, and the paninis are flavorful. A delightful change of place.

    the atmosphere is very warm and the music was very chill, i could've stayed in there for a long…read moretime. well kept, clean, and nice furniture as well. the staff was amazing and kind to everyone who walked in. i got my latte in just a few minutes. the scone had a nice crumbly texture you'd expect and a true faint vanilla bean flavor. the cappuccino muffin was surprisingly moist and delicious with the crunchy top. the chocolate chip cookie exceeded my expectations, buttery and just the right amount of sweetness. my latte was pretty standard, nothing to write home about but it wasn't bad either. overall a great experience and would come back again.

    I stopped by here a number of Sundays ago, Father's Day actually, with my family for our morning…read morecoffee. Every weekend we try to hit up a new local coffee shop, and on this morning we happened to be fishing at Glade Run when I found Freya Jane's nearby. This bakery is located in what appears to be a small development of townhomes with a handful of storefronts. The inside has a large ordering area with plenty of baked goods displayed behind glass, along with an equally spacious seating area. They also had a number of card games available, and my wife and I enjoyed playing one with our 4.5-year-old twins. On this morning I decided to go with an iced brown sugar cinnamon latte while my wife chose an iced pistachio latte. My daughter picked out a sprinkle sugar cookie, my son chose a blueberry Pop-Tart, and my wife and I split a crème brûlée-filled croissant. I'll start with the baked goods, which were excellent. The croissant was buttery and flaky, and you could clearly see the lamination throughout it. The filling reminded me of a cream puff with its rich, creamy texture and flavor. To complete the crème brûlée theme, it had large pieces of caramelized sugar on top that added a satisfying crunch and really made the pastry live up to its name. My son's blueberry Pop-Tart also had a great flavor with plenty of blueberry filling inside, and my daughter loved her sprinkle sugar cookie. As far as the baked goods were concerned, they were easily five stars. The coffee was good, although it didn't quite reach the same level as the pastries. My latte had a nice balance between the brown sugar and cinnamon syrup and the espresso. Thankfully the coffee wasn't overpowered by the flavoring, and while it was certainly enjoyable, it wasn't quite as memorable as the baked goods. My wife also enjoyed her latte, especially the pistachio flavor. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My family loved the baked goods, and we all thought the coffee was good as well.

    I stopped by here this past Saturday morning with my wife and our twins for our morning coffee…read more Normally it's every Sunday morning that we try to hit up a new local coffee shop but on this day we happened to have some free time on a Saturday. Since we were in the Mars area, we decided to head over to the Mars Brew House. This shop is located in downtown Mars on Pittsburgh Street. It is located in what looks to be an old large house and I think that you were able to go in at one point in time but only the window was open on this morning. The gentleman that was working the window as super nice and introduced his dogs to both of my kids. After looking around for the menu, he had to take a picture of it with my phone so that I could see it. After looking at it l ultimately decided on a large latte and after being asked about a flavor chose toasted marshmallow while my wife also chose a latte and went with hazelnut for her flavoring. It wasn't long before we had our coffees and headed to our car. My coffee here ended up being alright. The flavor of marshmallow was good but I found the coffee itself to be mostly lost behind it and the milk. So it wasn't bad but I just wish that I had more flavor coming through on what should have been the star. My wife did at least enjoy her hazelnut coffee. The bottom line for me is that I might stop by here again in the future. While my wife enjoyed her latte, I definitely could have used more coffee flavor in mine.
