Le Café Bloom

I’ve been here a few times. The last time I went for lunch with a friend and I was extremely happy with my meal. I ordered a quinoa bowl with roasted vegetables with some kind of fresh salad on top of it. It was a smörgåsbord of deliciously healthy ingredients and the flavours complimented each other well. Their spanakopitas are also wonderful. They make really good chai lattes and regular lattes too.
My main issue with this restaurant is the seating arrangement. If you’re alone sitting at a two person table, they will actually ask you to get up and go sit at a big table with a whole bunch of other people. Sometimes you just want your own table and don’t really feel like squishing in between a bunch of strangers. Also the chairs are extremely uncomfortable. They are the same model you probably sat on daily during the long hours of elementary school.
At the same time the lighting is soothing and the vibe is pretty chill. If you can grab one of the couches, it’s totally worth going.

A nice little cosy café in Point Saint Charles. Tried some food, coffee and tea. I enjoyed the things they served, they seem to take it serious so that is positive. I didn’t have any big meal thought the menu options looked interesting. It is also a great place to work, with space and WiFi. Many people were setup working, but there was still space available. Very eclectic furniture that had a nice ambience. Now the not so great… the area is a bit sketch, but makes Café Bloom even more of a perfect place to get away from the outside.

Hidden gem in pointe at Charles. Cute and cosy décor.
Homemade healthy style cooking, try the ratatouille tartine plate: delicious and healthy choice. Great selection of organic teas.
That’s all you need to know!

Just a hint fruity but still very good coffee. I live how the have comfy couches where you can sit and relax. There are lots of people who come read and study here and it’s fine.

Découvert par hazard, ce petit café avec une atmosphère ‘comme à la maison’ à de quoi faire plaisir à vos papilles.
Les lattes et cappuccinos sont préparés avec expertise et sont très bons. J’ai goûté le bol du brunch qui m’a franchement épatée. Un merveilleux mélange de kale, quinoa, patates douces assaisonnées et mesclun avec un oeuf dur. Un plat complet plein de saveurs et de fraîcheur.
Si je craques bien souvent pour le bol du brunch, les gaufres sont elles aussi un vrai délice. Une consistance et texture parfaite servies avec sirop et pommes.

That Café has that small neighborhood coffee feeling to it, which makes it very cozy and warm. Had I been a writter, this is the type of place I’d always be in. The coffees are amazing and will satisfy the toughest critics. The food is excellent as well, not pretentious or extravagant but delicate yet simple. I had ‘La grande assiette’ (3,5/5) and the ‘Bol du brunch (⁴⁄₅). Will be back again for sure!

Café Bloom! Yay! Happy place!
That is how I feel when I walk in the door. The light. The friendly service. The other clientele. What can I say? Positive vibes all around, it’s just a great spot.
Their pastries are out of this world, but unfortunately, they are so out of this world that there often aren’t any left after the breakfast rush. Le sigh… But if you get there in time, you’ll find a pretty good assortment of croissants and muffins, as well as some nice little treats like canelés.
If I had one criticism it would be that they should really kind of have a proper pastry case, and keep it stocked a bit better. (There’s something about pastries just sitting on plates atop a counter that makes everything seem… wilted…) But I mean, it’s a small thing. Not going to keep me away from a good cookie.
Coffee is great. I’m a huge fan of any place that defaults to whole milk in their beverages. I mean… come on… if we’re going to drink a creamy latte in a bowl, let’s do it for real. (And if I may play the nerdy barista for a moment — more fattening milk is not better simply because milk fat is delicious, it also produces a far superior foam. Fats make the bubbles perfect.)
I love their brunch/​lunch quinoa bowls, and they do waffles all day long, which is pretty sweet.
Take note — lunch is all week, brunch is only on the weekend.
They’re kid friendly, they’re big group friendly.

I dare you to find something wrong with this place! Best coffee I’ve ever had, delicious food down to the healthiest options on the menu, relaxed vibe, friendly service, and it’s family friendly without ever being loud. The neighbourhood took a turn for the better when Bloom moved in.

Trip 1
Adventure begins! Frog and Panda goes to Café Bloom, a small eclectic café hidden away near metro Charlevoix among a mostly residential area. The café is bright and clean; it is almost like your grandma’s home. There is an assortment of chairs and tables like it is put together from different garage sales but together fits perfectly. We order an ice coffee and café moka and two large waffles with maple syrup and apple slices. The café moka is rich and creamy but a little on the sweet side. Ice coffee is ice coffee, no frills, done right. The waffles are warm, crunchy with a soft centre but where is the blueberry jam? Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Café bloom I love you :-) really really love you. If you live in pointe St Charles and haven’t yet been to café bloom you are missing out!!!
It’s the best place to grab a latte, their lunches are amazing and healthy! I would love to pin point to something specific to eat, but I can’t because everything I have tried was great.

Love this place. The food is surprisingly great. Staff super nice and it’s kid friendly without being loud/​annoying. Bright and good music too!

first, i’ll say this: extremely ghetto (i know, there’s no ghetto in montreal) looking neighborhood with the craziest of homeless people. yes, the homeless are crazier than the ones downtown! not only are they crazy, they are extremely sneaky. while i was looking at google maps to make sure which way to walk, one of them sneak up on me despite seeing him on my way out the metro.
as for the place, it takes a while to get there unless you take a bus ride. hip cozy place despite the dead neighborhood vibe.
really good coffee (cappuccino) with a lovely fluffy foam. barely any detectable bitterness. very friendly and welcoming staff that had a very big smile when i took out my indie passport. one can definitely guess they were happy about a new customer. and it seems locals could tell i was a new customer. i got the vibe i was a total stranger there. you know that car commercial with stan and the gas station where everyone knew each other until one step in and dead silence? that feel, i got it. talk about making one feel uneasy. even on my way there, i got looks. and no, there’s actually asians in pointe-​saint-​charles.
anyway, if you happen to ever be in that shady neighborhood, café bloom is the place to be i guess

I had the delight of taking my bestie here after a morning of climbing. We stumbled in, kind of by accident, as my usual Rue Centre dig was ferme, but it was a little bit of Sunday Serendipity because this place was just the cutest! The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and we felt like we were in a friend’s kitchen. The food was so so good. I had the maison granola which was basically a granola like I’ve never had before! Firstly, it was gigantic. Secondly, it was layered with deliciousness, including apple compote and a berry compote that was a delightful mystery because I couldn’t tell what berry it was crafted from! Annnnd it contained those lovely concord grapes, and so much more. Order this if you want something healthy, but filling and a flavour fest. My friend ordered the brunch tartine and was equally pleased … I won’t write more about her meal, because I spent all my time engaged with my own dish so can’t really say much about what she had, except that she stated the eggs on the tartine were the best she’s ever had. I will be back for sure: D

I love the brunch at coffee bloom! i always feel full of energy but light after a meal here. My fav is the BOL DU BRUNCH. Pair it with a nice chai late and a chit chat with tge friendly staff and you set up for a beautiful day. I come here and read also and I just observed that they have lunch menus during the week…

It really is a highlight of my morning to walk by this place and just have some time to relax, have a good coffee and a REALLY good pastry here.
I think I might soon get addicted to their pistachio croissant.
Nice couch, good atmosphere, service with a smile… Wifi and cozy, what else?

C’est un dimanche ensoleillé qui m’amèné au Café Bloom. Je suis directement frappée par l’atmosphère du café! Il y a un vieux planché teinté en gris, un comptoir avec des carellages de style floral super beau (j’adoooooore), des tables et chaises dépareillées anciennes, des bureau d’écolier, un beau fauteuil bleu azur (vraiment top). C’est cozy, relax, j’y ai d’ailleurs passé toute l’après-midi! :D
On a vraiment l’impression d’être chez soi, c’est vraiment chaleureux! Parmis tous les cafés que j’ai visités à Montréal (environ une vingtaine jusqu’à présent), celui-​ci arrive vraiment dans mon top 5! Chouette ambiance, bon café, bons petits plats! Une halte parfaite si vous voulez chiller et vous poser tranquillement!
J’ai mangé des gaufres belges! Etant belge, c’était une nécessité! Miam miam! Elles sont bonnes, croustillantes et sucrées comme il le faut!
Quand j’y étais, un groupe de musiciens jouaient dans le café. C’était vraiment très chouette de pouvoir bénéficier de ce petit concert: D
Je dis oui oui oui! :D

Nous avons vu Café Bloom pour la première fois lors d’une course dans le coin. C’est un petit café comme on pourrait trouver sur le plateau, mais en plein coeur de Pointe St-​Charles.
À première vue, vous pourrez voir un assemblement de chaises et tables différentes avec un petit look vintage ou juste vieux. On peut dire que ça fait rétro. En plus, y’avait de l’art sur les murs. Une des différences des petits brunchs du genre sur le plateau: il y avait de la place! On était pas crampé dans une petite pièce, on a de la place.
Le choix du menu est assez simple, il y avait 8 choix différents environ, variant de 7 à 11 $. C’est un menu de brunch assez normal je dirais avec des bons choix santé /​végé.
J’ai pris le bol Bloom. C’est un bol rempli de bonnes choses comme: du quinoa, du kale, des courges, du chou et un oeuf et avec une petite sauce à mettre par dessus. Ça me fait vraiment penser aux bols qu’on peut trouver chez Aux Vivres.
C’était bien bon. Avec le quinoa qui enveloppe le tout, je peux dire que c’était assez (même si j’ai fini l’assiette de ma blonde).
Fauve a décidé de prendre l’assiette brunch. Vous pouvez y trouver ce que vous trouvez dans tous les brunchs: bacon, saucisse, oeufs, petite confiture fraise-​rhubarbe maison, patates et bines.
C’est avec plaisir que j’y retournerai. Bön rapport qualité/​prix.

I found myself in Point St-​Charles on my way to help out with Unilocal’s contribution to the Share the Warmth Foundation fundraiser and I was having a hard time finding a place where I could grab a coffee. Lucky me — I stumbled upon Le Café Bloom. Admittedly, all I had was a coffee and a muffin (a delicious muffin though!) but what a CUTE place. The décor was that amazing blend of rustic and hip and the vibe in there was totally zen.
There was a young family siting together having breakfast and the vibe of the whole place made me want to return. So I there is another reason to visit Point St-​Charles I guess!

TARTINE DU BRUNCH…
Samedi ou dimanche matin, et on veut un petit déjeuner qui né taxera pas la journée en matières lourdes à digérer? La tartine du brunch est ma prescription…
L’assiette que je viens de déguster est de loin une des meilleures qu’on puisse espérer. L’assaisonnement des œufs brouillés est d’une subtilité qui se dévoile à chaque bouchée. Un goût agréable, particulier à ce mélange judicieux de fines herbes, de champignons des bois et de copeaux fins de fromage. C’est ce qui coiffe une tranche de pain de type artisanal occupant une moitié de l’assiette.
Quant à l’autre moitié, c’est un mesclun de feuilles de salades et de choux rouge, arrosé discrètement d’une vinaigrette dont ont sent la présence, mais sans que la salade né baigné dans une flaque huileuse, comme on le voit trop souvent.
Impossible de né pas donner une note parfaite à ce plat.

Large, airy, well-​lit café in what used to be a second hand/​junk shop that was there for over 30 years. In back, separated by a heavy drapery, stands a makeshift kitchen.
The place is furnished with various vintage /​collectible REAL wood castoffs, salvaged from second hand stores, and has a large bar with stools, should you prefer to sit there. The tea was ok, served in what looked like second hand cast offs, it was good to just sit and relax a bit on a wet chilly day. The ambiance is friendly and relaxed with no hurry, the prices comparable to elsewhere. Nice addition to the neighbourhood, too bad it closes so early in the day.

Loved to stumble upon this big bright comfy clean café today. A friend had messaged me about it saying it was one of her favourite new finds in her neighbourhood, but I hadn’t really made a mental note of its location and then BAM, comfy couch beneath me, delicious coffee in hand, amazing smells in the air from the good food cooking, I had found it! And I’ll be back for sure. It’s spacious and smiley enough that I wouldn’t feel bad making good use of the wifi there for a good long while. Plus I love that you can see the big open kitchen in the back, and I love the pretty wooden rocking horse and other kids toys. Generally a dear spot that I hope experiences all the best success.

A neat little Café tucked away in la Point, it’s a great place to come and do some work (they have internet).
Their lattes are good, and they have croissants from a local bakery that are very French. I haven’t tried the other food, but they have a menu of soups, salads, etc. that looks resonable.
The place is open and bright — not at all what I expected for this neighbourhood. Just don’t try and drive here on a Thursday morning (until 12pm) — you can’t park in half of the nearby streets, and the places you can park are full.

A new café in la Pointe (a very much needed place indeed!), Café Bloom is a quiet place perfect for working or studying while taking a nice bite (veggie food, pastries, nice selection of teas and coffee). I have yet to try their week-​end brunch, but overall, it’s a pretty good spot in the neighborhood! Hope it stays open for a loooonnngggg time!

Un tout nouveau café dans le coin de Pointe-​Saint-​Charles qui était attendu depuis un bon petit bout. On a l’impression de se trouver dans une grande gallérie d’art et les morceaux affichés aux murs donne l’impression que ça serait un bon endroit pour y faire un vernissage. Ils y servent des petites bouchées et des lunchs faits sur place avec des ingrédients frais, donc ça l’air de changer à chaque jour. Pour les pâtisseries, attendez-​vous à ce qu’elles né soient pas arrivées avant 8h30 environ, mais elles seront extra fraîches et cuites le matin même à Ma Tante Quiche qui est à deux pas du café. Pour ce qui est de la qualité du café, il est correct mais pas nécessairement impressionnant. L’ambiance par contre est parfaite pour ceux qui ont besoin d’étudier, de faire un peu de travail ou bien pour une petite rencontre d’équipe. Il était grand temps qu’un café du genre ouvre dans le quartier!
