What People Are Saying About Bloom Cafe
The Editor

In Short – Stylish mod decor lends a hip, funky edge to this charming avocado-and-white storefront. Large eco-themed photographs are situated above pressed bamboo tables. On the sidewalk, a white awning hangs over arty aluminum chairs and tables, where locals are warmly welcomed by the French owners (formerly of Pastis). A California bistro menu emphasizes healthful, organic, local ingredients and environmentally sustainable seafood. Dishes include poached eggs with goat cheese, lemon ricotta pancakes, a grilled portobello sandwich, Stilton burgers, and fish tacos.

One helpful staff member

Even if you are the only one there, staff ignores you and the wait for simple sandwich is 30 minutes. Coffee & water are not refilled, it's hard to get a menu, learn the specials, get your bill, or pay.
Many combinations are bland despite being unusual--sandwiches & smoothies alike. Desserts are like your first attempts at home to make something vegan--heavy but not rich.
Lamb sausage pizza & lamburger are worth the price.
Do not order takeout--the wait was 3 times what was promised, with no condiments, utensils, or napkins, and of course stone cold pizza & fries!!
- Pros: lamburger is fab, takeout counter drinmaker is helpful
- Cons: staffignores you, bathroom overflows with tras

what an amazing surprise!
by AmyHylind at Citysearch
I was brought here by my husband, on a surprise date--and it was a surprise for both of us. Driving there we were a bit hesitant of the neighborhood, afraid to leave our car parked on the side street (convertible buick skylark)...but the cafe itself was delightful and absolutely delicious!!! The BEST salad I have ever eaten, roasted beats, spinach and goat cheese with chicken added--and I have eaten a lot of salads!!
We wanted to go back the very next night! One of our new favorite places:) oh and the car was fine, parked directly across the street in front of a few friendly shops!! I learned not to judge a neighborhood by it's initial appearance.
- Pros: decor, food quality, food selections
- Cons: no parking lot, neighborhood

Great place you must try now
by willworkforfilm at Citysearch
This jewel in Wilshire Vista serves the best pizza I have ever tasted - and they are very creative with their menu. Our favorite pizza is Rosemary Comte Cheese and Potato - I know - it sounds strange but trust me, it's great.
Just had lunch there today and had a great chicken sandwich with carmelized onions and roasted red peppers. Everything is fresh and tasty.
- Pros: Best Pizza in Los Angeles
- Cons: No Cons
