What People Are Saying About Bloom Cafe
The Editor
Martha Burr

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.

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!

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

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
