Bloom

We have been wanting to try this place but lines have been crazy. Finally on our way out of town we got here when it opened so we were able to be seated immediately. I was amazed at how full it was before 9am.I had the croissant French toast, husband had steak and eggs. Food was delicious, fruit fresh, coffee tasty. Service pleasant and efficient. Watching the OJ made in real time was satisfying especially since we had a glass.Worth the trip, and I can see why folks wait a long time for a table.

I love that they have a cocktail menu that changes seasonally, always giving you new things to try! They have a few tables outside that, while looking into the parking lot, are kept cozy with heaters in the colder months. Service has always been outstanding, and we always enjoy coming here.

The wait is insane, and they don't take reservations, so go early or make sure you're in good company and not starving when you arrive. The venue is small but cute. The space next door is empty, so they should totally expand! The food came out pretty quickly, which was surprising given the wait. I was very happy with my Jumbo Crab Bene (sans the English muffin), and the Duck Fat House Potatoes are so good! My friend got the Garden Scramble so that he could have the tartine and was also happy with his order.

A cute brunch spot in San Jose. It's very popular and when we went around 11am, there was a 45 minute wait. There isn't enough seating and we were sat outside, but the outside seating wasn't the best. We were next to a sewer surrounded by people waiting to get seated. Despite the business, we were able to get our food quickly.French Toast Croissant: Perfect if craving a sweet treat! The croissant was crispy and sweet! It paired well with the whipped cream, syrup, and fruit.

Weekends at bloom is very busy. I was a bit irritated with their check in it was honestly a mess and no organization. We were given an hour wait time which I was okay with. What annoyed me was when I arrived back to check in with the host how much longer it was gonna take, there were so many open tables inside and this young male host and another female was going back and forth because the male host hasn't sent out any messages that tables are ready. So the female host apologized and said they will be notifying guest that tables are ready. So they did do this but they all did it at the same time so theres 4 diff groups of people just standing in the front waiting to be seated. Like I said it was just a mess. Either they need better communication or get retrained cause it shouldn't be that messy.My server was ALLISON and she's amazing. I had her a week ago as a server as well and she was amazing. Very attentive and always checks on her tables.Last week I ordered the Lavander lemonade which was pretty good, a bit to sweet for my liking but its cool how you can pour the syrup im assuming on the drink. I also got the parfait which was refreshing and very fresh fruits.So the hostess incident occurred yesterday 02/15 saturday brunch time. I ordered the pasta carbonara which i will rate 3/5. It was too creamy for my liking. Carbonara usually dont require extra cream, the egg is whats supposed to make this dish creamy. It was good but I didn't expect it to be too creamy. The ingredients were really good on this dish because it didn't mess with my stomach.Bloom Burger (5/5) very good, fresh ingredients, very tasty and my boyfriend really enjoyed it. I tasted it as well and did not regret it. It was really good. The garlic fries were also very good and were seasoned well. I highly recommend the pineapple peach refresher. It was so so good. Better than the lavander I would say.As a last note, this place has always provided great amazing food, but customer service is very big in the restaurant industry. I got really irritated towards the end of our meal because that same male host started complaining about work to another server and started saying things like "i love this job but its......." We all have work issues, but remember your customers do not want to hear that. You still have to stay professional.

If you're searching for an appetizing brunch spot, look no further--this is the place for you! Yes, the two times I've been here, the waitlist has been long, but trust me, it's absolutely worth it.Our server, Alejandro, made the experience even more special with his excellent service. I always order the Spanish Chorizo Benedict--what can I say? When a dish is this flavorful, I just can't resist! I promise to try something new next time... but I'm not giving up the Churro Waffles. They're simply heavenly!The combination of flavors in the waffles is perfection. The berries add a fresh, sweet balance, and we always order them with dulce de leche--it's the perfect touch. Just yum, yum!

Drinks 5/5 - Vacation Mode and Butterfly Lychee Martini were both exceptional. Both authentically pleasing and simply delicious! Food 4/5 - Some items are really good where some are mediocre. The churro waffle is really good. The pesto chicken sando was alright. The carnitas bene was also good. Garlic fries, okay. I asked for all of the potatoes to be extra crispy but they surely were not. Ambiance 4/5 - Super cute inside but it's really really loud so hard to have an actual conversation without yelling across the tables. We moved to outside due to it.Service 4/5 - Attentive staff but they forgot to mention nor it's on the menu that Pesto Chicken Sando comes with garlic fries so we ended up with lots of potatoes.Fast turnaround but recommended to go early!

The food here is worth the wait!! The interior is pleasant and the breakfast is decent. Good portions and the parfait was my favourite! I had Benedict which was okay but my step mother mentioned she loved her burger! The service was 5/5.It's family friendly and I highly recommend coming here!

This place is worth all the HYPE. Buuuut the 95 minute wait on a Sunday for a party of 2, at 11:30... is meh. And there is really nowhere convenient to wait. You can stand outside, but you'll be near tables and we felt awkward standing next to diners, as I'm sure it was awkward for them to be watching us gaggle at their meals.The food is top notch. The flavors are complimentary and inventive. I can see why this place is so popular. We were seated at the bar and our food came out less than 15 minutes after ordering. Our coffee cups were never empty. We shared three breakfast entrees and all of them were devine. The portions are large, so large that we even had leftovers to take home.

Bloom is a pretty good spot for brunch, but be prepared for crowds, it gets very busy, so making a reservation in advance is highly recommended. We waited about 30 minutes for a table, but the wait was manageable. The ambiance is charming, with tables placed close together, yet the abundance of plants gives it a cozy and cute aesthetic.The highlight for me was their freshly squeezed orange juice, absolutely amazing! My husband ordered the jumbo crab Benedict with duck fat potatoes. He enjoyed the Benedict but was disappointed by the potatoes, which were undercooked and not up to par. I had the garden veggie scramble with toast and potatoes. The scramble was fantastic loaded with fresh, seasonal veggies and perfectly seasoned. The European bread tartine with jelly was also a standout.Unfortunately, the potatoes were a letdown for both of us, under seasoned, undercooked and disappointing. And honestly, what's brunch without great potatoes, right?On the bright side, the service was good, attentive, and friendly. Overall, it's worth a visit for the food and atmosphere, but they really need to step up their potato game!
