It's such a shame they've closed – the food was amazing. The starters were huge, like a European main, so it was great value for money. Plus, everything was organic. It’s really sad to see it go.

Everything about this place is amazing . From the attention, decor , drinks and food of course. Sadly this place is closing this week. It’s one of my regular spots to eat in NyC when lm working here but they have decided to close there doors.
I dropped by to have a latte and my favorite dessert. You will be missed

One of the few all-vegan restaurants on the UWS. Pretty good food, though a bit expensive. The tiramisu is to die for

One of my favorite NYC vegan brunches! So sad they will be closing at the end of August 2024.
Get the classic breakfast if you’re going for brunch - it’s my fave. Perfect/smallish portions of everything you want for breakfast and the vegan sunny side of eggs are a real treat! The French toast is perfectly pan fried and soooo cinnamon-y! I also love their Mac n’ cheese!
You will be missed Blossom! ?

I expected much more after being on the website and reading that it was Michelin recommended.
We had the buffalo arantini for appetizer. This was very good.
I had the BLT sandwich with fries. The sandwich was good, but nothing very special. The fries were oily and all stuck together.
My friend had the picatta. She also found it good but nothing very special.

We absolutely enjoyed our brunch at Blossom. We were surprised that recent happy cow reviews were not as positive.
We shared the French toast as an appetizer at our table, and it was delicious. The tempeh bacon was really good too. I was surprised though to learn that they do not make it in house.
The country breakfast was wonderful. The tofu scramble was delicious and not overly salty. The apple sage sausage was really good but far from healthy as it was definitely deep fried.
One of our guests enjoyed the pancakes while the other was not overwhelmed by the tofu Benedict.
We would come back to give the restaurant another try to sample the lunch and dinner menus. We always appreciate a 100% vegan restaurant.

And I’m Italian. This carbonara was the best I have ever had in my entire life.

They’ve been serving the same food for the past 20 years and even that has gone down hill. Seitan seemed to have been reheated numerous times the sauce lackluster. The tofu was heavy and tasteless there is no particular atmosphere and the staff only want to move you in and out as fast as possible, uncomfortable when you’re entertaining guests. Cocktails are terrible. A highly disappointing dining experience

This is supposed to be one of the high-end vegan restaurants in NY and it used to be good, so I was kind of shocked today...
Our food came out five minutes after we ordered it, so it's obviously sitting in the kitchen, not made to order anymore. Which would explain why half of my Tofu Benedict plate was cold. I don't usually make a big deal about these things but it's not a cheap restaurant, so I did ask then to please heat it up. (And it took a few minutes before we could even get a server's attention) And the server said they'd send me a new plate. So I didn't eat anything and waited. Then he came back ten minutes later with just warm potatoes. So now everything else was cold because I'd sat there and waited, thinking they'd be sending me another (warm) plate of what I ordered.
At the point I just ate my cold food because I was hungry lol. It was ok. Nothing I'd need to have again. I could have made it at home and I absolutely could have made it better.
So overall, the quality and service has gone down at Blossom, while the prices have stayed expensive. If you're in NY and making a list of vegan restaurants to visit, this doesn't need to be one of them.
Blossom clearly positions itself as an upscale venue (as in pricing) that welcomes the casual diner (no formal wear required) and that is also family friendly (kids screaming in front of house and background music playing too loudly upon arrival.)
Blossom used to have higher standards in terms of food preparation and presentation, as well as ambience. Clearly, things have changed, and not for the better. Although they did accommodate my request to turn down the music, they should know better. My food was on the oily side; salad saturated in dressing, and too salty. My entrée experience plus the highly priced menu items were enough to prevent me from ordering dessert here. I don't expect I'll be going back any time soon.

I love a great vegan restaurant but this was a bit bland for me. The atmosphere and service is great but the food didn’t taste as great as I wish it would have. If it improves, this would definitely be a top choice for me!

The food was absolutely delicious and about 50% of the menu was gluten-free or could be made gluten-free and almost all the sides were allergen free. My BLT accompanied with chips was so substantial that it almost made an entire second meal.
The chocolate ganache tasted divine!

We love this restaurant but being gluten free can be challenging as there are so many seitan dishes. We would appreciate keeping some of the other dishes such as risotto, stuffed sweet potato, tofu, etc., and fewer seitan dishes.
