Cafe Bloom

Am I the only person who had a hard time finding it? It’s at the nursery… there wasn’t a sign from the street that said CAFE BLOOM. Just one that said coffee.
Paid $ 12 for a great sandwich, user small potato salad, a sweet apple, and a coffee. I am full so I’m not upset about that. What you’d expect to pay at Panera.
The sandwich was premade, but more than likely made this morning because it tasted fresh. It was turkey, bacon, avo, some high class cheese, lettuce. Had a really perfect spicey mayo or something. Really well made.
Could have taken the sticker off the apple before serving but that’s me being meticulous.
Potato salad was strange as hell but very good. I’ve never seen it made with small potatoes cut in half. Had (aruegalla?) In it and a hard (but not stinky) cheese. Well done.
Setting is a garden yet hard to see the garden due to low hanging trees and whatnot.
This this is a place I’d take my mom, not a friend. I know she’d enjoy it.

Bloom café. I love the tranquil setting, very relaxing, and the food was fresh & really tasty. Get in early for a good selection of the organic options. The staff was pleasant and their Myrtle pie was great. I will be back!

Foods fresh and from the local farms. Try the mandarine salad or the strawberry kale salad. Staff is sweet and so is the pie. I take my wife here often, its a relaxing and tranquil setting for a picnic lunch.

LOVE THE FOOD! I drove in from Temecula today to bloom it took me 15 minutes tops… Who knew fallbrook had a rural country feel to it? As soon as I walked through the arches with their ponds I knew I loved it (fallbrook was a lot cooler than Temecula) I had a avocado and snap pea wrap, sounds odd but was delish. :) The pie was great and not too sweet. Very nice girl helped me at the counter. My new favorite place!

Listen, don’t over think this place, it reminds me of the yellow deli. The first thing they say is that they shop the local organic farmers market every morning and bring in what they find, and yes they do run out. Thats what there motto is «farm to table fresh» When you go expect your fruit to not be perfect (i will take that over a perfect apple with pesticides any day) Seriously the place is packed every time i go. My favorite spot is on the deck that over looks the pond. but you can eat anywhere on the property because they provide you with a picnic basket and blanket. It is a walk up and order kinda hippy cool vibe going on inside the botanical gardens. I would eat there every day if i could, its honestly my place of zen. Bottom line the food is organic and its super yummy.

I’m so surprised by the other reviews!!! My husband brought me to Myrtle Creek Nursery as a Valentine’s Day surprise and it was amazing! The grounds are beautiful… romantic settings, farm animals to feed & the staff is wonderful! They were very busy due to it being a holiday & they were even trying a new approach to the event — dressed the place up and took the food up a notch. Although they were busy, we were not disappointed! We received amazing, courteous service! There was a little bit of a wait, but it was so worth it! They told us about how long the wait would be, so we took advantage of the exploring time and came back. Voila, we were in! Yes, the sandwiches are pre-​packaged and refrigerated… But the food was good! I mean, it’s not your top of the line meal, but it was tasty! The greens in the salad were very fresh and neither of us had a complaint!
I have been telling my husband that we need to make another trip here… I truly look forward to it! And we will definitely take advantage of the picnic basket lunch and enjoy some time together! It’s a beautiful place, it really is.
I love love love this place!!! =D

Here’s the deal, Myrtle Creek Nursery has totally transformed in the last year and it’s a fantastic stop if you love gardening. The gift shop has lots of cool, interesting items for the home, garden or gifts. I live in Fallbrook and every time my sister comes down from OC she loves to stop by. We stopped by on Saturday afternoon around 4pm and the place was quiet, tranquil and just dang special. We decided to come back for lunch on Sunday and bring my hubby. Well, it was a different experience. The café still seems to be getting their sea legs — so I don’t want to pick on them too hard, the setting is a 5 — really beautiful. On this beautiful Sunday afternoon at 12:30, there was a long line to order, they had two sandwich offerings, two salads and two soups. We apparently got the last two sandwiches so the folks behind us were out of luck. It was $ 29 for two sandwiches, 1 small soup, 1 slice of pie and 3 ice teas. The sandwiches were «just ok» — they are made ahead and brought in daily so they are stored in a fridge so the sandwiches and bread are cold. It’s sort of like the sandwiches you’d get at the airport before boarding a plane or the fresh items for sale on a plane. The soup was ok, the pie was ok, the ice tea was ok but very weak. It was a 15 min wait to get the order pulled together so they have some work to do on the organization and operation of the café. So, it seems like a great spot to stop for pie/​coffee. Not sure we’ll stop for lunch again. It was too chaotic and on a beautiful Sunday, the place will be packed and you know how an out of control bratty kid can ruin things — well a couple of them were running around so any «zen» type experience from the day before was missing due to the unruly kids. So, for now, definitely go to Myrtle creek, grounds are fantastic and the nursery is very cool. Just level set expectations on the café — they have some work to do in order to get that humming like the rest of the nursery. Oh, by the way, the café staff was very nice but also seems inexperienced in running a restaurant/​café.

They really need to get their act together if they plan on doing food service in a more organized, professional way, one that justifies their prices. What the are doing now is not well organized, overpriced and just «so-​so» in the quality department.
Went today around 1:15 and ordered two chicken salad sandwiches and two coffees. This was not our first choice since they ran out of what we wanted. As another reviewer mentioned the sandwiches are pre-​made and kept in a large picnic cooler and are served cold. Not my favorite, cold bread… They told us it would be 15 minutes for the order to come out but took 20 minutes.
The chicken salad sandwiches come with an apple, one of which we had to bring back for a different one since it was rotten. They also come with a little cup of diced cheese, grape tomatoes and bits of potatoes in a dressing. The chicken salad was ok but quite dry since there is no may or dressing to tie it all together and add moisture. There was some sort of balsamic onion spread on the top bun which I will admit was pretty nice, but a stone cold sandwich makes it hard to taste.
For two sandwiches and two coffees it came to about $ 20 and a half. I have had incredibly good sandwiches at Great Harvest Bakery in Temecula for the same money, so not need for us to drive to Fallbrook to this place.
PS– The half and half for my coffee was curdled. They don’t seem to understand that cream and milk needs to be kept chilled or on ice to keep from spoiling.
