While the server was very friendly, the food quality seems to decline in the evening compared to the daytime. By 8:00 PM, all the bakery items were sold out, and although I had heard great things about their matcha latte, it turned out quite bitter when I ordered it hot. Perhaps it would be better served cold. I highly recommend visiting in the morning when the place is bustling! (The seating areas tend to be full.)

Now, if you know me personally, you’d realize I’m that one oddball who doesn’t really like ice cream (yes, I admit it). So, finishing every last spoonful was quite significant for me. I went for the matcha and grape flavor combo — it may sound unusual, but it surprisingly blends well. It's well-balanced, not too sweet, and incredibly refreshing. I would definitely return just for the soft serve. As for the ambiance, Bloom Cafe is quiet, cozy, and private — an ideal place for a relaxed coffee chat or a peaceful setting to study or work. There’s ample seating and no loud music, which is a refreshing rarity these days. They also offer a great selection of drinks. While I’m not a coffee drinker (I know, shocking!), coffee lovers will find plenty to choose from. For those who aren’t into coffee, there are numerous non-coffee options available, so you won’t miss out. In addition, they have a tempting display of pastries and cakes that caught my eye — I’ve already noted to come back and try at least one (or three). Have you tasted their cakes? Are there any must-tries I should look for on my next visit? Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
