Bloom's Coffee Bar

I love this little place. I go there all the time. The staff is always super nice, and the vibes are just right for a college town.
The coffee quality is fine, honestly I just go for the sugar syrup and caffeine.

My partner likes there non coffee selection, and there energy infused selection is pretty dang good!

My first visit here I wasn’t super impressed, the staff seemed distracted and the drink was overly sweet.

My second visit was amazing, the staff were quick friendly and helpful. I was recommended to try a white chocolate peanut butter latte and it was really good. I would definitely come back after this visit.

July Drink Specials- MUST Haves!

The July specials are seriously a vibe! The lineup has something for everyone from bold coffee lovers to those who love a light, refreshing sip. The Love Island theme is such a fun and trendy idea, and it totally delivers on both taste and creativity.

I’ve tried every one of the specials and my top two are definitely the Villa Latte and the Fiji Spritzer - so good, I’d happily sip them all year long! Highly recommend trying them all while they’re still around and honestly, fingers crossed a few of them stay on the regular menu 🩷

Coffee is decent. Stop using paper straws. They are getting mushy within minutes, and inventory the coffee flavor leaves, you get a cardboard taste.

What a wonderful little coffee shop, the baristas are the best!!!!!!!😍😍 Also the dog diesel is really cute.

So so so GOOD! Thankful for the small, yet mighty coffee shop! They have the smoothest buttery espresso; never burnt like most coffee shops! Always friendly with servant hearted employees who take time to be personable and not rush through the interaction as a simple transaction. Thank y'all!

Always on point! Exceptional coffee

It is hit or miss here. I’ve had the cappuccino when they first opened and it was horrible. We are now in the pumpkin spice months and same, it’s hit or miss. I just got one this morning, and it’s very off compared to the last one I got there. Their people need trained better or read the mixes better. If I didn’t have to be at work, I would have taken it back and asked for a refund.

After dumping the coffee down the drain, I saw that all the sugars and pumpkin spices were on the bottom. I wasn’t given a stopper so there was no way I could stir it. I appreciate the reply by the owner, but as a business owner myself in the plaza across from them, I would have liked it much better if I was offered either a refund or replacement.

Fast, friendly and delicious beverage menu. The team is smiling, often dancing or singing and overall lifting you up in positivity every time I visit. And today- while enjoying my favorite combo- iced chai matcha- I saw a hand written note which made my day! “We ? U” What a delight!
Love you too, BLOOMS!

Cute and convenient little coffee shop, it was my first time here. I tried my hardest to order a healthier drink but I didn't exactly like it. The only reason for the 4stars is because it was sugar free and dairy free, that isn't exactly the best taste. Lol I'm sure I'll return but definitely ordering something else.

Drive-thru coffee shops are blooming on here recently.

I suppose that having visited a few drive-thru coffeehouses, this opens the prior closed door on visiting them for my blog. I figured that the lack of being able to experience the vibe and feel for them shouldn’t exclude them from my sampling as they can have their own style and their own uniqueness.

On a trip to Bloomington with my dad to get lunch, I needed coffee. I slept all morning so trying to get one before we left was a no-go. I figured that since we are visiting Bloomington, I would just visit one that I still have on my list and Blooms Coffee Bar was my choice for today.

I drove around the building to see if there was a walk-up window but no such luck. I pullled up to one window (there was one on each side) and the kind barista asked me to pull around to the other side as that’s the proper side to order from. I zoomed on over and asked for a moment to look over the menu before deciding what sounded good.

Shockingly, I didn’t get my usual americano. I was in town for pigging out and decided to treat myself to the Salty Sweet. My dad said he had 3 cups of coffee already and wasn’t in the mood for more. It wasn’t busy so the lady said I didn’t need to pull around to the other window I was just at to pick up my order. So THAT’S how they operate. The drink was made fairly quick and I dipped to the parking lot behind Bloom’s to enjoy my drink as we waited for Flinger’s to open at 11am.

This drink was just the thing to start my day. It was a perfect balance of sweet and salty (which is how I mis-ordered the drink by saying the name backwards). I even went against my usual order style and got a medium instead of a large. I should’ve gotten the large cause it went down smooth and fast. I pulled around to the front of the building to try and snap a few photos but ended up pulling out too far so my phone’s camera put in some work on getting some decent quick snaps for this blog.

I am glad that I’ve started to add these drive-thru only places to my list as each one has been delicious so far. Take this as a lesson to not limit yourself based on silly notions and assumptions.

Parking: It's a drive-thru coffee shop with plenty of parking lots around, not that you 'd need them.
