I tried the quiche which had great flavor, although it was a bit chewy. The chicken salad croissant trio hit the spot for a light lunch. I decided to make it a true sampler by trying one of each of the three flavors of chicken salad. The Waldorf chicken salad was my favorite and I'd probably have that again with a cup of soup since I didn't get to try any this visit. The ambiance and the server were the real stars of my visit to Bloom Cafe. I'd come back to celebrate a special occasion any time.

This is one of those places and I highly recommend you come here for the coffee alone. I wouldn't call it a coffee shop, as it is primarily a restaurant, but it's the closest thing to it and serves a variety of coffee drinks. I just consider it a bonus that they do a great job with the food that they serve. Their menu isn't big, but it feels like they put a greater focus on quality rather than quantity. Everything I have tried here has been superb. Great atmosphere, food, and coffee. You can't go wrong!

Oh but let me tell you, it's so much more than that. I've come to find out true history of this beautiful little town, and this stand. The Custard Stand, since 1949 it was built and founded right there on that corner, imagine the history the building could talk about. And let me say, it had a line the entire time I was there, and drove back by again a day later. They offer wonderful, ice cream, floats, sundaes, all the true desert things we all come to love. But they also had an extensive menu with salads, chili, even hotdogs, etc. truly a little amazing gem right in the heart of tiny little Sesser. Prices are absolutely amazing, $10 bucks a family of 4 can quite literally all get a tiny ice cream. It was thick, great ice cream too, my root beer float was very good. Hot days here, and you'll catch me in line time and time again. Thank you little Custard Stand, I'll be back.
