  Stopped in before work and the cortado was perfect. Whoever was on the bar this morning remembered my order from last week, which honestly made my day.

  ✦ Your reply

  Thank you, Hannah! That was Theo on the bar, and he’ll be thrilled to hear it. See you for another cortado soon. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Really good pour-over and a calm spot to get some work done. Only wish there were a few more outlets along the window bench.

  Thanks, Marcus! Glad the pour-over hit the spot. You’re right about the window bench, and we’re adding a couple more outlets there this month. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Waited almost 20 minutes for two lattes on a Sunday and the milk was barely warm by the time they came out. Staff seemed overwhelmed. This used to be my go-to.

  Derek, I’m sorry. Twenty minutes for lukewarm lattes isn’t the Bloom we want you to know. We were short-staffed on Sunday and have added another barista for weekend mornings. Next time you’re in, please ask for me so I can make it right. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  The cardamom bun is unreal. Friendly team, great music, and they let me taste two single origins before I picked a bag to take home.

  ✦ Your reply

  Sofia, thank you! The cardamom buns are baked here every morning, so we’ll pass the compliment to the bakers. Enjoy the beans! – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Best espresso on Alder Street, hands down.

  Best cinnamon knots in town and the staff are lovely. Heads up though: the back step to the patio is really unsafe. I watched someone trip on it on Saturday.

  Lauren, thank you for the kind words and for telling us about the patio step. We’ve taped it off and a carpenter is booked to fix it this week. We really appreciate you looking out for everyone. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Love the oat flat white, easily the best in the neighbourhood. But I was charged twice on my card last Tuesday and nobody has sorted it, so I’ve started a chargeback with my bank.

  Omar, thank you for the kind words, and I’m sorry about the double charge. That should never happen. Please ask for me next time you’re in, or call the shop, and I’ll check the payment with you and sort it out directly. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Coffee is lovely but the tables were sticky and the bins were overflowing at lunchtime. Small things, but they add up.

  ✦ Your reply

  Thanks for the honest feedback, Grace. You’re right that the small things matter. We’ve added a midday clean so the tables and bins get attention during the lunch rush. Hope to see you again soon. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  My usual is an oat flat white and a ham and cheese croissant. Consistent every single time and the staff are always cheerful.

  ✦ Your reply

  Thanks, Ben! Consistency is what we aim for, so this means a lot. See you for the usual. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Great coffee. A bit pricey for a large drip, but the quality is there.

  ✦ Your reply

  Thanks, Chris! We pay our farmers well above market rate, which does show in the price, so we’re glad the quality comes through. Drip refills are half price if you stay a while. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Update: the manager reached out after my first review and made it right. Still think the queue gets messy at peak times, but I’ll be back.

  ✦ Your reply

  Natalie, I’m sorry your order got lost in the morning rush. That’s on us. I’d love to make it right, so please ask for me next time you’re in. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Came for a coffee, stayed for three hours. Cozy, quiet in the afternoons, and the matcha is properly whisked.

  ✦ Your reply

  Ella, that’s the best kind of visit. Thank you! We’ll keep the afternoons cozy and the matcha whisked. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Ordered a decaf and I’m pretty sure I got regular. Was up until 2am. Mentioning it so they double-check orders.

  ✦ Your reply

  Ryan, I’m so sorry. A mix-up like that costs someone their night. We now mark every decaf cup with a sticker so it can’t happen again. Thank you for telling us. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  They made my daughter a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and she hasn’t stopped talking about it. Lovely team.

  ✦ Your reply

  Tess, this made our day! Thank you both for coming in, and the marshmallows will be ready next time. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Their house blend makes the best cold brew at home. Grab a bag, you won’t regret it.

  ✦ Your reply

  Thanks, Jamal! The house blend loves a long cold steep. Enjoy, and let us know how the next batch turns out. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Wonderful little roastery. You can smell the beans from down the street, and the staff clearly love what they do.

  ✦ Your reply

  Ingrid, thank you! We roast on Tuesdays and Fridays, so that’s when the street smells best. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Solid coffee and friendly faces. Parking around Alder can be a pain though.

  ✦ Your reply

  Thanks, Patrick! Parking is tricky on Alder. There’s a free lot behind the library, two minutes away, if that helps next time. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  The almond croissants sell out fast for a reason. Get there early!

  ✦ Your reply

  Thank you, Victor! We bake a second batch around 11 now, so late risers have a chance too. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Nice place to work from, but the wifi kept dropping, which is tough when you’ve come to get things done.

  ✦ Your reply

  Thanks, Mei, and sorry about the wifi. We’ve since upgraded the router and it’s been much steadier. Hope you’ll give it another go. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Found my new Saturday ritual. The seasonal Ethiopian on pour-over was bright and fruity, and the barista explained it without being snobby.

  ✦ Your reply

  Dev, welcome to the Saturday crew! That Ethiopian is a staff favourite too. Thanks for the lovely review. – Maya, Bloom Coffee

  Lovely staff, great espresso, and the space is full of plants. A real gem.

  ✦ Your reply

  Thank you, Rachel! Most of the plants are cuttings from regulars, so it’s a group effort. See you soon. – Maya, Bloom Coffee
