11 Best Cafes in Bloomington

“1st, your atmosphere is wonderful, but exuberant fellow patrons made conversation difficult. WORTH IT every way! My husband, son & I savored every morsel & the wonderful food eased our spirits. And I just found a word re: our table person, Shahada, royalty. She is radiant.“

“I ordered a Ruben and when it arrived the toast was black and burnt. I never complain so I said nothing and tried to eat the sandwich but the toast was very hard. After trying to eat it I just gave up not wanted to be a bad customer and make my two adult friends uncomfortable. I just paid the bill $70.+and gave the server Emily a $20. tip. My friend ordered one of her usuals but the sauce was not what she normally gets. We were told that the cooks sometimes use whatever is available and finally just sent out a replacement with NO sauce. She finally just gave up and ate whatever she ordered. The third friend her husband avoided the situation. We finally gave up and I paid the bill with my Sky Miles AMEX card total $90.+ We came into the restaurant probably around 7:30 or 8pm. Sorry for the bother but it bothered me I've lived here since 1972.“

“Soma coffee is the best coffee I have ever had. I tried it while visiting my son in Bloomington. I now order several bags at a time to be delivered to my home. Friendly staff, excellent & personal customer service. I live 7 hours away & they know me by name. My personal favorite is the Burundi ☕️“

“I make an effort to visit Piccoli Dolci every Saturday at the Woolery Mill Farmer’s Market just to get a cornetto. Seriously, I daydream about these pastries all week long 🤤 Thank you, Piccoli Dolci, for your delicious treats!! It will be a sad day indeed when my husband and I have to move and can’t get your goodies every weekend.“

“BEST place for a dessert, pastry, or chocolate in Bloomington“

“I got 3 of their crunchy gyros, some feta fries, and a large Mediterranean dip for my family and I while we were visiting Bloomington. We don't have a lot of Greek food up where we are, save for King Gyros, so this was a great treat. Everything was incredibly flavorful, the gyro meat was thick and tasty, and the dip lasted us several days. We will be coming again, if we're ever in town!“

“Wonderful“

“There are no words for the kindness that the girl had for us. We drove 55 min from Plainfield to this place just so we can have some authentic fried chicken and bubble tea. By the time we arrive, the chicken was sold out! With disappointment, we ordered our drink. While she was punching in the debit machine I mentioned, with a disappointing tone, that we drive all the way and there are no more chicken! Then something amazing happened. The girl came to us and asked us if we are willing to wait because she has tomorrow's chicken that she can dig into to fry some for us and it would be on them because we drove all the way here and she doesn't want us to leave disappointed. God bless America. Needless to say, it was a satisfied night. This place deserves a 5 star service. She went above and beyond to serve a customer in need. Thank you!“
